Death Pursued Broadwater
i'm His Ride From Bannack
to Deer Lodge City i'm 1864

Carson Lake, reporter for the New
York Press, in $780, had the following
story related to him about Charles
A. BrOadwater, uncle Of Tom MARROW Of
Helena, and one Of Montanas early
mitlionaires.
In the Gilsey House corridor a few
days ago 1 met Col. G. A. Broadwater
about whom had heard a most eX-
citing pioneer incident when I was in
Montana last year. Colonel Broadwater
/ is pioneer Montanan and is wealthy.
/ He is president of a railroad, pro-
/ prietor of a famous natatOrium near
Helena and the owner Of famous mines
and cattle ranges. He is short and stout.
In his younger days he must have been
very athletic.
BaniShed From Bannack
The story is about a happening in
the early SOS. Bannack City, the first
capital, had been overrun by gang of
deSperadOeS. A vigilance committee was
organized. 1t hanged some and ban
ished others. Two of the banished
were Moore and Reeves. Broadwater
and young man named Pemberton
(Judge w. Y. Pemberton of later days.
had gone into the Deer Lodge valley
where mining was going on, and had
begun plating what is now Deer
Lodge.
one day Moore and Reeves arrived
in the Deer Lodge locality and made
their camp beside the Deer Lodge river
in a clump of willows. They had no
protection from the weather but their
blankets. Their only food was beef
washed down by coffee. Moore took
sick. He had mountain fever mountain
fever was identified by its effect. If
the patient recovered 1t was typhoid.
If he died it was mountain fever).
rf,dNnaforfcffr
generosity of the old west had Moore
removed to a cabin and supplied him
with food and medicine. He recovered
in time to learn that Bannack had
lust reScinded the edict of banishment
against himself and Reeves and that
they were at liberty to return. Moore'S
horse had been stolen while he was
i'll. Broadwater gave him another and
promptly forgot all about him.
Became cattle Man
Broadwater went from real estate and
mining into the cattle industry. He
bought beef in Deer Lodge and sold
it in Bannack at a big profit Payment
was always in gold dust. On one deal
he made $1,000. He was about to leave
with his sack Of dust when
Moore suddenly turned up. He told .
privately that there was a
band of road agents at Bannack, with
Sheriff Plummer at their head, and
that they were planning to waylay
Broadwater and rob and also possibly
kill him Moore, 1t seems, was mem
Der of the road agent gang but this
he kept secret.
Moore further advised Broadwater TO
slip out of Bannack quietly and not to
tell even his most intimate friend the
hour of his leaving. Broadwater &C
cepted the advice. He started for Deer
Lodge early in the evening and rode
until a. m. Then he laid down to rest.
The horse was tied to his wrist with
a lariat. The horse awakened him with
It's snortS about daybreak-in time for
him to see an Indian creeping toward

GOPHER CONTROL
REGIONS FORMED
TWO AREAS OF PARK COUNTY
WILL BE CLEARED OF
RODENTS

Two gopher control districts in
the Clyde Park and WiIsau sec
tiOns in northern Park county were
created for 1888 by the board of
county commissioners. Creation of
the districts was sought by ranch
ers, farmers and others In those
areas.
Under the terms of a control district,
all land within the district must be
poisoned against gophers. If the prop
erty owners refuse or cannot for some
reason spread the poison over their
lands, a supervisor and crew, hired by
the county, are employed to carry on
the work. Expenses involved are then
charged on the tax bill. Property own
ers may also hire the work done by
the supervisor.
The committee to have supervision
over the Clyde Park control district,
which includes about eight townships,
comprises Thomas Drynan, Al Kirscher,
Ernest Queen, Clarence Herein and
r. w. Smith. The supervisor will be
Dudley Gilbert. The Wilsal district
includes about five and one-half town.
ships and the committee members are
E. A. Sheridan, Austin Swandal, Ralph
Pepper and d. r. Mather. Ole Fallon
viii be the supervisor.
This will be the fourth consecutive
year a gopher control district has been
in operation In the Wilsall area, and
the third in the Clyde Park vicinity.
The drive against gophers. SIS wei as
tIck-carrying rabbits, has resulted In
almost virtual extinction Of the damag-
ing pests IN the two areas.
Poisoning operations are expected 20
set under way about April ID.

Man Held in Spain
Formerly Montanan

Cliff Haley, volunteer machine gun
ner in the Spanish fighting, reported
under arrest In Barcelona, Spain, after
trying to get on q tanker bound for
the United States, worked in Great
Falls as radio technician for about
eight months in 1887. He came here
from MiSsoula where he worked for
the Missoula Mercantile Co.
Haley was understood to have been
a member Of the Washington Common
wealth federation, liberal political
group, In the coast state before coming
to Montana. He is married and has
two children, according to friends in
Great Falls, who said they believed
Mrs. Haley and the children were with
relatives In Washington, state.
His father is believed to be j. G.

was able to run away. He resumed his
journey.
Ives and Cooper
After travelling 20 miles he came
upon two men seated by campfire.
Cooper. Both were doomed to be
hanged later on, by the Vigilantes for
their many crimes.
They were surprised to see him.
Their behavior impressed him with the
belief that they had been sent out TO
waylay him but had not expected him
SO soon.
Their horses were grazing about two
or three miles away from the fire
along the foothills They hailed him
and urged him to wait for them. There
were road agents along the way, they
said. It would be better for the three
to ride together. Broadwater pretended
to consent. But he said, since his
horse couldn't keep up with theirs he
had better keep on riding; they. would
have no trouble in overtaking him. He
further allayed their suspicious by dis
mounting within eye shot of them to
lead his horse up little hill. But as
soon as he was out of sight he rode
"heIl for leather" for the second cross
ing of the river where the French
Squawman, Conway, was living with
his Indian wife. 1t was the nearest
shelter. It was a race for life.
After 10 miles, Colonel Broadwater
says. his horse began to tire. He looked
behind him to see cloud Of dust about
three miles away that was being raised
by Ives and Cooper in hot pursuit
With q tired horse and 80 pounds Of
gold strapped to his waist he was
under a terrible handicap. But he
pounded onward. He reached Cont
ways doorway with Ives and Cooper
only so yards behind him.
Ives pretended to Conway that he
and Broadwater were having q race.
Broadwater fell in with the pretense.
Ives and Cooper decided to stop all
night at Contway's. Broadwater was
forced by circumstances to do likewise. !
Broadwater took advantage Of an OPP
portunity to tell Conway the facts and |
to purchase one of the Frenchman's /
fleet horses privately. Under the ar
the Frenchman was to
saddle the horse-one Of his fleeteSt-

and bring it to the door on pretense
that he, himself, was going to hunt for
cattle.
Broadwater was to notice the horse,
admire It and mount it ITO see how 1t
behaved" with an eye to possible pur-
chase. The program was carried out
with Ives and Cooper looking idly on
Their mounts were staked out on the
prairie. When Broadwater found him

Telepathy Tells
About Accident

Mental seAepathy or thought
transmission Is firmly believed in
by five Great Falls residents as .
result Of an experience one after
noon recently.
At about $3.50 in the afternoon an
NYA project supervisor, working at q
rotary saw in the NYA Orange Crush
building at Great Falls, was the VIC
tim OF a painful accident. While cut
ting q block OF wood, the saw struck
a knot in the wood and jerked his
hand into the blade. Two fingers on his
left hand were severely cut, neceSsi-
tating 10 stitches.
At about 2:30 the same afternoon
the supervisors wife was at their home
Ill, and being treated by a physician,
when she suddenly said, Doctor, my
husband Is hurt"
To the doctors reply that she was
imagining the injury, she stated en-
phatically, mol I know he is hurtl"
The incidents happened at the home
and at the shop at almost the same
time and the doctor and two neighbOr
children at home confirmed the story.
When the victim went to his home
after the injury had been treated and
his wife saw the bandaged hand she
told him:
II knew you were hurt and they
convince me that you weren't.
I knew It suddenly and felt sudden
sensation almost like I was hurt
myself"

Lasting for two evenings, this carnival
not only provided wholesome entertain
ment but it also provided money for
q fund to be used In sending delegates
to the state All club convention.
At ali extension meetings in Lewis
and Clark county last year recreation
activities were stressed by Mrs. Neva
Magraw, home demonstration agent.
The ideas presented at these meetings
were later used in the annual county
achievement day. Both All and adult
clubs are taking more interest In recre-
alton. especially singing, Mrs. Ander-
son reports.
Community Sings
Singing as a recreation was likewise
emphasized at all local gatherings in
Rosebud county last year, and In Still
water county Miss Orpha Brown, home
demonstration agent, held a training
school In each community on some
phase Of recreation work. And in
Beaverhead county Miss Lillian Stone,
home demonstration agent, held one
day training school for all organiza-
lions. In Fergus county community
clubs held numerous programs.
These highlights, Mrs. Anderson ex-
planned, give some idea Of the type Of
work that is being done along this line
among rural communities Of the state.
The program fills a definite need In
many Of Montana's farming sections
situated at q distance from larger
towns and cities where ready-made
amusements are available. In addition,
she said, these activities demonstrate
to rural families that by using ingen-
uity, imagination and organized CO.
they can put their leisure
time to enjoyable and profitable use.

STATE RURALITES
ADOPTING SLOGAN
INCREASED INTEREST IN COM
MUNTTY RECREATION PRO-
GRAMS NOTED
Outlying Communities Eagerly Choose
Old Slogan That can Work and No
Play Makes Jack Dull Boy" 1887
Activities Are Reviewed.

The old slogan that "an work
and no play makes Jack q duh boy"
is eagerly being adopted by people
In MOntana'S rural communities
and the past year saw an increased
interest being taken In community
recreation programs, says Mrs.
Doris /. Anderson, acting home
demonstration leader for the Mon
tana extension service, in making
her annual summary Of this phase
OF extension work for 1887.
Mrs. Anderson pointed out that in
four counties the recreation activities
are in charge of recreation councils
which meet regularly for study and
training In addition the members Of
these councils assist with district train
ing meetings held under the guidance
of representatives of the National Rec
reation association. Counties having
these councils are Saltwater, Teton,
Yellowstone and Roosevelt. In other
counties the work is carried on by home
demonstration clubs and community
clubs.
Just to give some idea of the type
Of work being done, Mrs. Anderson re-
views some of the activities carried on
in these counties during 1887.
In Teton county, for instance, the
recreation council held six meetings
last year for training in community
singing, one-act play production, active
and quiet games, and folk dancing
Community leaders who attend these
training schools then take the ideas
back to their own groups where they
are put into actual practice. Fred S.
Wilson, county extension agent, super
vises the program in Teton county.
Play Tournament
oo,,1,wxy xroc 4H,a
last spring of an unique one-act play
tournament with four communities
taking part in the finals. The Little
Theater group in Billings co-operated
in staging the tournament and the
Eastern Montana Normal school made
its stage available for presentation of
the plays. Much of the impetus for the
event was the result of a training
school held by Jack S. Knapp of the
National Recreation association and so
popular was the tournament that it
will be repeated, Mrs. Anderson said.
Playing an important part in this ac-
tivity In Yellowstone county is Miss
Margaret Conlon, home demonstration
agent.
AS the result of a training school
held under the direction of Miss Lillian
Tubb, home demonstration agent for
Roosevelt county, All club leaders and
leaders of home demonstration clubs,
recreation activities are becoming more
popular In that county, Mrs. Anderson
said. Now every All club in the county
has an organized recreation program.
Although singing is the most popular
activity of the club members they also
like games, stunts and folk dances.
One interesting phase Of this pro-
gram in Roosevelt county was the car
nival sponsored by Indian 4-H clubs
on the Fort Peck Indian reservation. |
