rama Of the west, from the gold rush
through the Indian troubles to the day
when relative civilization had come.
He was born In Antagonist N. s., on
June l, 1888, the sixth child In family
of eight. His father, Matthew Roman,
had come from County Wexford, Ire
land. Formal schooling was denied the
young Peter Roman. but he early alb
sorbed certain fundamental principles
to be followed in dealing with other
principles that stood him In
good stead in later years when war
reared redly among his Indian charges
and only his observation-disclosures ana
knowledge of the red mans nature
kept peace.
Fight hard II you have to tight;
But know what you are fighting,
seems to have been his cardinal
principle.
In 1859 Peter Roman emigrated to
Dubuque. Ia, where he became COM
positor on the Dubuque Evening Times.
His adventurous disposition caused
him to Join a party Of six men headed
for pixies peak. There followed two
years Of mining In Colorado, after
which Roman returned to Leavenworth,
Kan, where he became associated in
the newspaper business with W. H.
Adams, who only a few years before had
published the first paper in Kansas.
In 1862 Adams brought forth The

DAYS. The Daily Enquirer was the only
democratic sheet in Kansas, and the
political editor, Dennison D. Taylor,
wrote partisan articles of such in
flammatory nature that the paper was
suppressed and those connected with
it thrown into military guardhouse.
Roman and his partners managed a
release, but misfortune logged their
heels. Their office was attacked by a
mob and wrecked.
Roman. ruined now, headed for the
goldfields of Florence, IN the region OF
Oregon, today Idaho. On the road he
met some old acquaintance, threw IN
with them and ended up in Bannaek,
Mont. He staked a claim in Alder
glllch and had the good fortune to
strike a fair amount Of pay dirt. News
paper work was In his veins and he
became foreman, local editor and part
owner of the Montana Democrat, Of
Virginia City, the second paper to be
published in the territory. Within a
year he entered partnership with E. s.
and g. Fl. Wilkinson and established
the Rocky Mountain Gazette at Hell

sympathies. On Aug. %, 1870, this be-
came the first paper in the territory

Once again the majors tact and per-
suasiveness had prevented an uprising
that might have been one of the blood
lest along the whole frontier. The two
whites and the Indian stood trial and
all were discharged.
No Further Trouble
Thereafter the major encountered
little trouble in the administration Of
the reservation affairs. He had the
ordinary brushes with whisky traders
and managed to keep the tribes rel
atively sober. A man who had seen the
frontier from its rawest to the civtli-
zation Of the nineties, he was sought
out and honored. He wrote newspaper
articles, and volume that has become
invaluable to students of Indian lore,
History of the Flathead Indians,
Their Wars and Hunts"
But his health had begun to break
under the strenuous life he had lived.
He attended the worlds fair Of 1893
in Chicago. Shortly after his return,
on Aug. 20 Of that year, he passed
away. And no epitaph can be more
fitting to the man and what he had
done, than the words Of Arlee.
"As an agent Of the government we

and the friends Of the wounded man
was inevitable. All the potentialities of
a bloody uprising were present.
Major Roman thought fast. He sent
a wire to the commandment, stating he
had the situation well In hand, that
soldiers must remain at the fort. There
followed long discussion with the In
dams. For 10 hours they talked, heated
and calm by turns, but in the end the
major triumphed. Arlee agreed that
the wounded Indian would go to Mis-
soula to stand trial, on even terms with
the two white men.

declared that the injured Indian, as
well as the two white men, must go
to Missoula for trial. The wounded

their declaration with weapons-that
he would never leave their lodge.
The town of Arlee was abandoned, the
men there leaving for Missoula. The
situation became precarious. Major

Ford Dealer Uses
Badminton to Get
More Business!

GooSefeathers stuck into a small
piece of cork are not usually asso-
ciated with selling automobiles.
Shuttlecocks, baseline serves and
kill shots are not a standard part
of the Ford merchandising scheme.
But the game Of badminton Is
boosting sales of a Ford dealer near
Hollywood, where a short haircut
is the sign of a stranger.
At Van NuyS, California, where
it's unusual if the sun isn't shining
on the warm San Fernando valley,
the enterprising Ford dealers, j. H.
and Dan Wray, put up badminton
courts on their used car lot. It's
unusual, too, when a bevy of play
ers isn't enjoying the Wray Broth
ers athletic hospitality.
This fast and ancient game re-
quires keeping your eye on the
bird" but players just can't resist
peeking at those nifty used cars
surrounding the courts. Sometimes
they do more than peek-sales have
been traced directly to badminton
players and spectators.
So much do the Wray Brothers
like to see their sports minded
guests that flood lights we're in
stalled over the courts for night
play.
Valley residents are saying Hoo
rah for the Wray Brothers"-while
the used car stock moves nearly as
fast as the little white bird.

could make such a remarkable rec
ord during Mr.. Hamburger abb
sence. We know that he is going
to be extremely pleased with re-
suits of the event, which was a
real business-getter."
Faulds also stated that since the
sale was not advertised in any
other medium than the Post and

share of the credit for its having
gone over "the top" with bang!
