Passing of Wolf Plume Recalls
Early Blackfeet History Which
Raised Him to Exalted Position

Wolf Plume, one of the strik-
ing characters of the Backfeet
nation. died Monday evening of
last week on Little Badger creek
where he located his home in
1890 and lived until his death.
He was born i'll 1859. probably
in Canada. His father was a
member of the Melted Fat
(branch of the Blood Indian)
tribe. and he roamed with his
band from Old Man river in Can
ada as far south as Teton river.
His father. Bull Chief. and his
mother. Shoots Back, spent most
of their lives in Canada, but they
finally moved down to what is
now the Blackfeet reservation
and died here.
When his father died, Wolf
Plume was but a boy and his
mother got him six shooter"
a "A, with which he was instruct
ed to bring home the family sup
plies. He became a good hunter.
In 1879 he became the proud pos
SCISSOR of a rife, a Al rimfire
known as the Henry Flat. That
year he was the leader on a raid
to the Cypress hills. where he
was successful in CAPTURING many
horses from the Crees and Gros
Ventres.
On a hunting expedition to the
Moccasin mountains near Lewis
town, Wolf Plume and his party
discovered that a party of Sioux
had been on the yellow river,

ISOLATION of Indian Affairs,
Riverside, California. Thru her
effort a prospectus was written.
Its foreword as follows brought
much attention:
For many years the Blackfeet
Indians, whose reservation Dor
ders Glacier National Park. have
been discussing a museum pro.
Ject which would house their
ancient arts and make a center
for scientific research. There
could be gathered and recorded
the language. customs. artifacts
of all the plains Indians whose
tribal customs have not been
studied 80 carefully as have been
the tribes of the southwest. Dur.
ing the past year the friends of.
these Indians have been aroused
to the fact that thru the poverty
of the plains Indians they are
being induced to sell priceless
relics which scattered to the
four corners of the earth will
never be recovered
Thru DR.. George C. Ruhle,
Chief Naturalist of Glacier Park,
a plan had been materializing
over period of several years to
establish series of museums in
the Park and thus a dual plan
was proposed for Browning and
the Park.
At this time Chief Bull had
prepared and presented to the
Blackfeet Indian Tribal Council
a resolution setting forth the
proposal for the museum of fire
proof construction following the
outline of the prospectus, and to
contain space as follows: Exhib-
it rooms. a Scott Memorial hall.
Auditorium for tribal meetings,
lectures etc.. Study and class
rooms for research work. Craft
shop for development of arts and
crafts. Library and curator's Of
flee. This resolution was passed
and mailed to all friends of the
project.
Last August Chief Bull became
aware that his friend, Secretary
of the Interior lckes, whom he had
helped to adopt into the Blackfeet
tribe and to whom the name of
Big Bear had been given, was to
visit Glacier Park. He boarded the
secretary's train at Shelby and
staIked through the car. greeting
him MS he approached with Hello.
Big Bear, l came to talk to you.

: OF horses from a party of Black
, feet camped there. They attack
ed the Sioux party, routed them
and captured the stolen horses,
returning with a herd of over 60.
In 1885, on a raid TO the Crow
reserve, he and his party went
on the war path for the pur-
pose of stealing horses. The
Crows were beaten. From this
raid Wolf Plume captured horses
from which he raised a strain of
stock known only to his brand.
The type lasts to this day.
In 1889 Wolf Plume took his
first position as federal en-
ploye. being appointed by Maj.
John B. Catlin as a member of
the Indian police force at the
Blackfeet agency. then located in
the old stockade at Badger creek
and known today as the old
agency.
In 1896 he received the ap-
polntment of Judge of the Indian
court from Maj George Nc
Laughlin. He continued through
his life to be known as Judge
Wolf Plume.
In 1912 a census of livestock
on the reservation showed Wolf
Plume to be the owner of 49,
horses in his own brand and 27S
cattle.
In 1916 he was cto,en to go

out his life he always had horses

Wolf Plume became blind about
four years ago. A specialist was
on the reservation making eye
treatments. This man was con-
suited as to the probability of re-
storing Wolf PIumes sight and
he was much interested and said
he felt sure he could help him.
Wolf Plume was consulted. In a
stoica wav he replied that he
probably was to be blind by fate
and that. this being true, he did
not believe it right to NEEDLE

have the eyes touched.

ship. He said he didn't know a single
man in Henderson today who could
step up to the front and find the peo-
pie as a whole rallying behind him
"We are as a house divided against
ITSELF" he declared.
Wrong Horse Politically.
Politically, Henderson has earned
the reputation of putting its money
on the wrong horse, and mostly the
widest horse, or the fellow who talks
loudest, and the impression in the
State has come to be that Vance
county cannot be counted on. The re-
suit has been that it has not often
been on the winning side, with the
consequence that it has had little
voice in the circles of the powers.
Crime Record Appalling.
Mr.. Perry cited Vance county
criminal record as deterrent to its
best development. He said about q
600 criminal cases are tried annual
ly in the superior, recorders and
mayors courts and magistrates hear
ings. This did not mean there were
1000 criminals, but that many are
repeaters in crime. Recreation and
work with juveniles were suggested
as step in attacking this situation
Vance county's criminal docket is
one of the heaviest in all Eastern
North Carolina, and out of all pro-
portion to the size of the community
Four regular and two special Grim
inal terms of superior court IN 1898
left the docket still congested, the
speaker reminded.
Planned Program Suggested.
Mr. Perry suggested that one man
or group of men come to the front
to plan the city's program of devel-
opment, and that the community
earnestly determine to follow their
leadership in unselfish service. There
is no need to 60 elsewhere for lead
ership, for there is ability and there
are men here who are equipped for
such task. Team work is lacking.
Coming back, in conclusion, to
Rotary, he said Rotary had not sold
the community on the idea of ''serv-
ice above SELF" or she profits most
who serves best"
The only note of pessimism he
could see was ''our failure to organize
and develop our ability and our re-
sources"
