Chicago-The impression has be-
come firmly imbedded in the minds
OF the rabble that the Brother will
not eat a JUICY slice OF watermelon
unless he is resting contendedly In
The innermost recesses OF the
family clothes closet.
In short. Il Is the belief Of the
man OF the street that the current
generation OF Brethren will not
sssail the lucious fruit in public
places with indomitable courage
OF his ancestors.
Against Conventions
II Is charged by these accusers
that the Brethren are entirely too
modest to be seen with their lips
wrapped around an ample portion
OF the sweet red pulp. II is fur
Their charged that the Brethren
consider devourine the fruit in pub
lie as violation OF all social
conventions.
However, having seen many Of
those OF ebony hue gulping down
the fruit while sitting al tables in
eating places in Memphis, Birm-
irgham, New York. Washington,
and Los Angeles. I've never had
faith in these assertions about
modesty and convention raring up
on their hand legs and proclaim
ing loudly against this indulgence
OF a sweet desire.
This very belief and faith was
sustained last week. and right
here in Chicago where gatherings
and hog jowls are wont to romp
hlilhely across kitchen tables and
fall into loving embrace with black
eyed peas. In the most exclusive
homes on the teeming South Side.
II was in modest little place

men laboring feverishly In their
efforts 10 supply fifty or more
persons with slices OF watermelon
which were eaten with gusfo. And

One of the early-day settlers of the
Yellowstone was o. T., Armstrong, who
located on land above Livingston in
the early eighties and became a sue
cessful ranchman and stock grower.

friends, was chosen for representative
of Park county, but died before cleo
ton, leaving one daughter and three
sons. The Oldest of the sons, B. B.
Armstrong, was elected representative
and Is now serving his second term In
that capacity. The other two sons, Roy
and Paul are enterprising stockmen of
the valley.
Returning to the old mining camp
of Emigrant gulch, this deep cut, weird
looking canyon extends back into the
crest Of the main range of Rockies
about 70 miles It is a sad place now
for an old-timer to visit. The old dis
end to the other, made by sturdy pio-
neers so or so years ago. The miners
cabins half rotted down and strewn
with rusty tin cans denote the habi-
tation of by-gone days. But few old
timers meet and shake hands at the
old historic camp at the present date.
The most Of them have been put to
rest by rough calloused hands in the
old Chico graveyard, with the last
green's resting on their breasts.
Among the last Of the old miners to
work the Emigrant mines was Bin
Cameron. He often was seen as he
said: Going back to the diggings, ("
but Bill panned his last gravel about
10 years ago. There are q few new
miners taking out gold in paying guam
titles, but the once thriving town OF
Chico. at the mouth Of Emigrant gulch,
has only a few scattered buildings TO
mark the once busy mining town where
gold was used for buying grub.

( Fridley, where he became a wealthy
cattleman. The elder Daley crossed
+ the great divide about 1919, leaving
three sons, Sam, Andrew and Neut,
and one daughter, Mrs. Mary FRASER,
all Of whom became wealthy stock
growers of the Yellowstone valley.
about 1928. -Four sons of Sans are
still in the stock business on the old
homestead. Mary FRASER preceded her
brothers in death.
Ben Strickland also is worthy of
mention among the trailblazers of the
Yellowstone. Ben took advantage Of the
fine open range in the early seventies
stock business. Like most OF the early
day stockmen he soon became well
fixed, but he, like the others have
mentioned, was not exempt from the
grim reaper-he turned his last steer
about 1900, leaving two sons, Frank
and Ebenezer to carry on.
Feed Attracted StOckmen
The wealth Of good bunchgrass and
open water the year round on the
Yellowstone attracted the attention Of
stockmen who could see the advan-
tages OF this great country Of free
range.
New settlers flocked into the country
to avail themselves of the ranges be- |
tween the two great canyons. The late |
Nelson Story and Bill Lee operated a /
stock ranch Just above the old town |
Of Fridley. In the early '80S they had |
a choice range and soon became the /
owners of vast herds of cattle and
horses. The spring Of 1886, my father
and I took up land on Mill creek flat,
lust below Emigrant and stocked our
ranches with both horses and cattle.
The range on both sides of the Yellow
stone those days was the finest IN the
and. We had our hardships and our
sports on the spring and fall roundupS.
I remember one incident that hap
1ened at Dailey'S lake corral, when
We were cutting out and branding. The
mel of burning hair and flesh at that
ime was strong and some of the cattle
we're getting on the prod. Bill Lee
ope and a big steer chased him out.
The elder Daley laughed at Bill and
aid: "Ill show you how to get that
ope." He had just reached the rope
~ a large snubbing post when the
teer saw him. Daley tried to stand
lis ground and brighten the animal
way, but the infuriated brute didn't
care. He just came charging. Daley
umped back of the snubbing post and
he steer butted into the post, the i'm
,act knocked the steer down and before
got righted Daley was out of the
'orral. Each day furnished more or
eSs excitement on the roundup.
also remember the spring of 1887.
avn Sam, now of Livingston, was
1ding for Lee and Story. The day in

lew horse. The bronc unloaded Swan
our times that day, but the man fin
