hold the top honors in a single long
suit, you can be positive that your
side has practically all of the top
honors. If you bid the suit once
as positive response to the two

cate its length, you can tell that
your partner will be positively sure
that you have nothing else of note
il your hand. If he then decides,
in the late bidding, to place the
contract into no trump, he is do
ing it with full knowledge of your

The fur companies operating IN Mon
tana territory, before the gold rush
and for many years after depended on
boats for the transportation OF freight.
Boats were also used for passenger
travel and mail purposes. And they
were few and far between. In 1853 only
one boat, the Chippewa, came up the
river. 1t arrived at Fort Brule on July
II. In 1860 the Chippewa and the Key
Stone both made the trip arriving az
some point near Fort Benton on July
2. In 1861 there were no boat arrivals
at all. The Chippewa had started up
the river but was destroyed BY IRE az
what became known as Disaster Bend.
Boat Blew Up
The following explanation Is offered
by old records: Chippewa, bound Tor
Fort Benton, was destroyed by fire at
Disaster Bend. The owners, through
American Fur company, were smuggi-
ing alcohol through to Benton for In
dian trade and one of the deck hands,

candle and gimlet and proceeded into
The hull of the boat. In drawing the
alcohol it ignited and the boat caught
fire. She was loaded with Indian an
nuity goods and also goods for the
American Fur company. There were 70 J
kegs Of powder aboard. When the fire

Early-Day Fur Companies
Looked Almost Entirely to
Boats for transportation

In 1862 there were four boats thai
made the trip TO Montana-the Emelie
the Shreveport, the Key West and the
Spread Eagle-au arriving between the
18th and Goth Of June.
In 1853 things were dull on the river
Only two boats came in-the Shreve-
port, which reached the Cow Island,
and Alone, which came as far as the
Milk river.
In 1864 there were four boats among
them the Yellowstone, the first steam
boat on the upper Missouri. It reached
Cow Island June 81. The Benton ar
rived at Fort Benton June 10. The Effie
Deans reached the mouth Of the Marias
July 9. The Cutter came through July
IA. Two other unnamed boats had
their trips completed by the Benton,
one from the Milk river and the other
from the mouth Of the Marias.
In 1865 the boat business began to
pick up. There were eight boats in
1865 and 81 in 1856 In 1867 there were
&c. In 1858 the number was 35 and in
l869-the year the golden" spike was
driven on the Union Pacific at Prom

In 1870 the boat arrivals had dropped

Butte Sheriff's Tip Shown as
the One Which Sprang Trap
on Kidnaper William Nathan

Sheriff Larry Weir of Butte and his
associates are given credit in the cur
rent issue Of True Detective Monthly
for their work in the 5000. 600 Weyer-
haeuser kidnapping In May, 1885. A story
entitled How We Captured Kidnaper
Mahan," by William Cole, chief of'the
washington state patrol, as told to
Hollis B. Fultz, emphasizes the value
of Weir's role in the capture.
William Mahan, whose real name Is
William Dainard, Is now serving So
year stretch" on two counts: Use Of
the mails to defraud, and violation Of
the Lindbergh kidnapping act. He began
his sentence In the federal penitentiary
at MacNeipS Island, Wash, but 1t Is
reported now that ne has been removed
to a sanitarium, suffering a severe ILL
ness. If he lives, and If he serves the
entire sentence, he Will be 90 when he
regains his freedom. He was born in
1908. and 1t Is said his mother became
insane at his birth.
Butte q Jinx
Chief Coles story shows that Butte
was Mahan's ink. After the police of
every state in the northwest had sought
Mat1an for several weeks as the Weyer-
hRueSer kidnaper, 1t was the following
letter from Silver Bow county Sheriff
Weir to Chief William Quinn Of San
Francisco that struck the telling blow:
we nave Deen watching woman
in this city who is close friend of
William Mahan, whose true name Is
William Drainard. This morning (May
z, 1885,, she received letter with the
return address, ATS Fulton street, San
Francisco IF you win check this adj
dress it may help you to find Mahan."
Sheriff Weir was right It was quite
easy for the San Francisco officers to
track their man down. They arrested
him few hours after receiving the
lip.
On a less spectacular scale Butte
turned Mahan's jinx almost exactly
10 years earlier, when officer James |
Mooney arrested him for his part In |
he robbery of State bank at Rath- |
irl1m, Kootenai county, Ida. Mal1an and |
IN accomplice had taken considerable !
ash and bonds. Mahan had escaped |
irst to Great Falls. A day or two later |
ne came to Butte and was arrested |
