Fort Brule. or Burned Fort.
Dig Up Relics
The location Of old Fort Mcken-
zie is one OF the few bottom lands
along the river that has been
spared through the years. When
we went ashore We found no evil
dence of the old burned fort Itself.
but we located the two low mounds
where the Indians had buried their
dead.
Some dexterous digging brought
to light many interesting relics OF
those old days. Stones blackened
by the fire, Indian beads and trim
kets. pieces Of broken bottles and
few old bones of those unfortu-
nate redskins We would have
liked to excavate further. for this
old location is accessible only from
the river and virtually untouched
by the historians spade, but an all
too rigorous schedule demanded
our return 10 the river and the
continuance of our journey.
Despite our information that We
had only 20 rapids in the first $50
miles. we ran IL rapids that very
first day. Our stop for noon lunch

Bob was so interested in main
tanning his balance that he saw
only the last II inches of big
orange-hued snake disappearing in
to a pile of driftwood almost under
he bow of the canoe. Our lunch
was eaten on a driftwood-cle
bar a mile further down.
Wild Ducks Plentiful
That whole first day the river
ran through a narrow gorge, with
great desolate bluffs rising from
two to four hundred feet on each
side. II seemed incredible to our
unpracticed eyes that this was rich
rangelsnd before the dry spell set
in some seven or eight years ago.
We saw few range cattle and most
OF these were lolling in the shade
of the cottonwoods bordering the
banks.

place and perhaps depositing IL

more fortunate mans lsnd-only to
take it again without moments
notice.
Our first landing was made at
the site of old Fort Piegan. estab-
lished in 1881 by James Kipp and
IS men at the mouth of Marias
river. This later became famous
old Fort Mckenzie under Major
Culbertson. and for ten years II

in charge OF Mckenzie. Harvey
had made trouble at every fort
where he had been, among both
whites and Indians.
He had violent quarrel with the
already touchy Blackfeet, and, on
the pretense Of a peace move. he
and Chardon, man about whom
little is known. invited the chiefs
of the tribe and their families to
visit the fort. Their treaeherous
purpose was to get all the unarmed
Indians inside the fort, then turn
cannon, loaded with rifle balls, on
them.
War Recalled
Whether the Indians became sus-
picious and refused to enter the
fort, or whether Harvey's well-laid
plans went awry, is not definitely
known. At any rate. the cannon
were turned on the Indians while
they were still outside the fort and
from six to so were killed, depend
ing upon which history one reads.
Even this atrocity did not seem to
satisfy Harvey, for with his own
knife he killed and scalped the
wounded, men, women, and chill
dren.
This, naturally. meant war, and

able to escape downriver to Fort

No moon rode high that night. and
II was black as a landlords heart

Houston Biography
On Met Screen

Man of Conquest" that surpris-
ingly good lesson in history with
which little Republic Pictures almost
stole the American show from the
big boys in Hollywood, returned yes
terday to the Metropolitan. The
man Of conquest with whom The
picture deals was Sam Houston.
Houston, stormy fellow i'll both
love and war, not TO mention all
other areas in between, makes a
fine subject for another one of those
superwestern pictures which have
become the style in recent months.
In going out to make a big pic
ture out of vivid life. Republic
hired Richard Dix TO play Houston.
1t supported him with a cast of
people who know how to act: who
know so well how TO act IN fact that
the picture is amazingly more re-
lievable than the average. Per-
formance is excellent all .ae way
from Edward Ellis Andrew Jack
son down to the moSg anonymous
Indian in those numerous pitched
battles.
Whether it was a lack of money
to become too spectacular or of hav-
Ing too much good taste to avoid
OVERRIDING it, Republic keeps the
scale of its picture always reason
able. 1t is the more impressive for
that fact. j. G,
