It Was Her Story
and She Was Sure
Stuck With 1t

A very worried man reported TO
gheriff's officers at MisSoula the other
nieht that while he was waiting as
Paradise for his wife to arrive with
the family car and take him to Fair
view, he saw her In the car Win 9
strange man. She drove rapidly by
without stopping. .s-,-
The man did not know his wtfe's
passenger, or why they passed him.
He presumed the mysterious stranger
was 3. hitch-hiker and he was worried
because his wife had considerable
amount OF cash and some diamonds
Shortly after the man made the re-
port, his wife stepped into the jan
office and reported TO the deputies Cna@
her husband was missing. She was sup
posed to meet him at Paradise, but
he had not showed up. The stranger
was not with her, then.
Who the stranger was, how he got
into the car and whether the man ana
his wife finally got together was not
learned by the officers. No serious re-
suits Of the confusion were reported,
however.

nond citv To Bozeman and in that year
mr. 4IInfer built a house at the hot
springs. That was the real beginning Of
Hunters Hot Springs The building
erected there in 1870 was one OF the
first in the Yellowstone va1ey.
The doctor constructed Gam De-
tween the cold creek and the not creek
and in fhe resulting pool Of hot water
bofh white men and Indians bathed
for wears. It was the beginning Of DR..
Hunters sanitarium. In 1873 with luna-
her that cost him $50 thousand In
Bozeman and $50 a thousand more for
hauling it from Bozenan TO the springs,
he built more pretentlous DaLnnouses.
DR.. Hunter always gave the Crow In
dams free run of the springs and pool,
and they did not seem to resent his en-
croachnent into their country The
only thing they objected TO was the
cultivation Of the soil. They said that
would bring rain and spoil the hunt
ing season which extended from May
until winter.
Indians Subject to Many Diseases
The Indians, DR. Hunter soon learned,
were subject to many diseases, out at
that time rheumatism was unknown
among them. The soil was cultivated,
however, despite their ooJecIlons, ana
cultivated more and more. AND then,
sure enough, the rains came more plen-
tifully than previously. While Il Is not
recorded that the dampneSs spoiled the
Indians hunting season, DR.. Hunter did
note that the Indians finally became
subject to rheumatism, just like white
men, probably for that reason.
For a number of years DR.. Hunter and
his family spent only the winters at
the springs, going to Bozeman in the
summer to avoid the war parties Of
Sioux and Blackfeet Indians which
came into the region as soon as the
Crows had left on the spring hunt in
the mountains. Every member OF the
Hunter family went armed.
While the doctor worked in the field,

gulch a large number of newly -arrived
men from the east to whom hanging
was q strange and unusual event. They
all wanted to see this one. In Difference
to their wishes the old-timers in charge
Of the affair, always airniable, hos
pitable and accommodating, selected a
spot so that the hundreds of spectators
could view the event from the sur
rounding hillsides A beef reel was used
as galloWs.
A guard of Vigilantes In military
formation marched Brady to the place.
When the time came for the execution,
the captain Of the guard commanded
his men to "about face" Some Wag
in the crowd yelled, Don't shoot, don't
Shoot" and there was a stampede OF
the fasteners at the cry. When Brady
finally took his jump there were only
q handful left to see him Gle. Kelly
his assistant, was held under guard
as an involuntary witness, as warn
ing to him to mend his ways.
One of the early hangings Of the
Vigilantes was that of a Mexican MEM
Der of Henry Plummer's gang who had
escaped the general roundup and made
his way to his cabin near Bannack.
There he fortified himself and stood
off the Vigilantes who beSieged him.
Volley after volley was fired into the
CdDLQ, DuJ WltQOuL DI1A4B4AlB e4tC hAC<t
can to surrender. He lodged about the
inside of the cabin returning the fire
of the Vigilantes from chinks between
the logs, and killed several OF the at
tackers.
The law and order men, however,
finally pressed into service a small
howitzer and literally razed the cabin
with cannon fire. When the Mexican
was pulled from the wreckage OF the
building he had 30 wounds in his body,
but was still alive. Then, not to be de-
MED the pleasure of hanging him, some
of the members of the posse obtained
a clothesline and strung the dead body
I'D to the limb of a tree. After 1t had
remained there for half an hour or so,
it was cut down and thrown into the
blazing ruins of the cabin and Gre
mated.
Phil Hunter, one Of Plummer's gang
who escaped into the Galiatin valley
when the Vigilantes were rounding up
bandits, was followed by a posse ard
captured. It was in midWinter, and
when taken Hunter was severely froz-
en-. His captors started TO return him
to Virginia CITY, but after going a
short distance they decided they we're
taking a lot Of trouble for nothing and
hanged him to a tree, alongside the
trail and left him When the body was
cut down later by passersby, it was
buried at the foot Of the tree

off. That was the most serious backset
he suffered from the Indians.
When the Grows came to drink the
waters and bathe, the chiefs always
came in advance and stored their
blankets and finery with Mrs. Hunter
as a guarantee Of their good intentions
and protection for the white family.
Several of the chiefs became enan1-
oured Of Aars. Hunters eldest daughter,
who was IA years Of age, and wanted
to buy her. One young chief named Old
Grow, came to the springs one day
with 100 ponies and 10 mules which he
offered MRS. Hunter for the girl. Mrs.
Hunter protested to him that the girl
was too young. Neither of them be-
ing fluent In the language Of the other,
Old Crow thought Mrs. Hunter said his
offer was too little and went away
angry. Mrs. Hunter lost no time in
sending her daughter TO Bozeman, out
of harms way.
Upon one occasion when q party Of
hostile Sioux was headed In their di-
rection. MRS. Hunter laShed children TO
the backs Of horses and then tied her
self to the back Of one, and all swan
the Yellowstone when 1t was at flood
stage. Upon another occasion she was
compelled to walk from the springs all
the way to Bozeman, the Indians hav-
ing stolen all the Hunter horSes. Inc
Indian troubles finally came to an end,
however, and the Hunters were left in
peace.
After DR.. Hunters death in April,
1894, the springs passed into the hands
Of the late James A. Murray, Butte
mining man and financier, who erected
there a notable hoSteITy which had

Mrs. Hunter would lie behind a rock on
nearby hill with a rifle, keeping a
lookout for Indians At that the Hunt
ers suffered little from the Indians,
compared to many others. Once when

there is such a difference in our

really loved before.
"My husband is. a very fine man

because he is so devoted to me, he
declines to believe them.
"The children are very fond Of
their daddy. 1 want my children,
but / am heart-brOken to be away
from this man. I've worried myself
sick. MISERABLE"
Please don't think me unsympa-
thetic if 1 say yours is the old case
of wanting to eat your cake and
have it too. You tell me your hus-
band is very good to you and your
teacher is a number Of years
younger. I do not give the exact
number, as naturally you do not
wish your letter to be recognized.
If you give up your children for
this young man, it is plain to see
tragedy staring you in the face.
AS time goes on, he will probably
have other and younger pupils,
and you will be wracked with
jealousy fearing that he may fall
in love with one Of them, just as
he fell in love with you.
Success in marriage is made the
same as success in any other hu-

children to consider and their in
terests should certainly come first.

Beauty
Sunshine and
Fresh Air
By DONNA GRACE

It seems we are so constituted
that we value things according to
the price we pay for them. OF
course everything has a price but
air and sunshine, and they are
more vital to us than all of the
things we buy for money.
We are thinking of the good we
derive from real contact with the
out-of-doors air. In the skin tex
ture alone there is a translucent
delicacy that changes the whole
expression. and while we do not

we look for it.
We all go out lot when we are
children and feel the glow Of
health that only fresh air and SUM-
shine can give us, but when we be-
gin to assume the responsibilities
that come with mature years, we
naturally give UP all the activities
that we feel belong to youth.
Unfortunately, our outdoor eX-
erciSe is always put aside as some
thing frivolous, and besides, we
have no time for it.
The skin must breathe and alb

chance to breathe. However, we
should expose the skin to the sun
for at least few moments every
day for the Illuminating vitamins
and antiseptic effect.

face before going out, but when
the air is dry or frosty, a good
cream application on our return
to the house will keep the surface
of the skin smooth and soft.
Use creams and your makeup
every day, but remember you need
fresh air, too, for real beauty.
