Many Colorful Nicknames
Enliven Early-Day Annals

ME, Black Mike, Old Horse Eye, Sour
Mash Charlie, Brocky Tom, Old To-
mato Nose, Holy George, Wild Cat
Bill. Windy Moon, Whistling Nick and
Yankee Dan.
The above names are a few taken
from the early records of Chouteau
county. There are many more of
similar type scattered through the
rest Of the state. Many of the names
are such that their origin is already
lost. Others can be conjectured as to
their meaning, with ones conclusion
out in history.
Yellowstone Kelly was famous as an
Indian scout and guide. He was one
of Gen. Nelson A. Miles most trusted
men and was sent on many important
expeditions in the early days. His name
naturally was derived from his favorite
stamping grounds in the Yellowstone
river country.
"Jew Jake" Was Tough
Jew Jake is another famous name
that stands out in Montana's history.
Jew Jake was a character in the towns
OF Malta and Landusky. He ran a
saloon in Malta and was considered
by its residents as an exceedingly tough
hombre. He fostered their belief by
using a Winchester rifle for crutch,
, he having but one leg.
One day he terrorized the passen-
gers on stage coach by telling them
he expected Kid Curry and his broth
ers to hold up the stage and kill him.
Naturally" he said, they also will
kill all witnesses"
Kid Curry was probably Montana's
most famous badman, cattle rustler
and bank robber, who carried on a
feud with Pike Landusky and Jew jake
Landusky was later killed by Curry
Pike Landusky derived his name
from the fact that he came from Pike
county, Missouri, and when in a rage
used to roar, I'm from Pike county,
Missouri, By Cd" His rage was
monumental and he was known as the
toughest rough and tumble fighter in
the west. Once when fighting Indians,
he is said to have been shot in the
jaw. He tore out the shattered bone,
threw it away and kept fighting.
Gamblers Ghost gained his name
from hanging around gamblers. Gro
Won Johnnie is a corruption of Gros
Ventres. Sweet Oil Bob was a tricky
customer who gained his ends through
smooth methods. Dog Eating Jack was
one time lost in the wilds and existed
by killing and eating his dog.
Most of the other names listed are
fairly obvious as to their derivation.

One of the maxims of news
paper men Is the slogan, names
make news" Likewise one of the
characteristics of Montana's from
tier days is the color handed down
to the present generation in the
original nomenclature that piO-
neers handed one another during
the exciting days that preceded the
Treasure states admission to the
union.
In pioneer times Montana was set
tied by men who frequently, for rea-
sons best known to themselves, wished
to leave behind them all connections
with their past. AS result they were
noncommittal about their personal his
to give their correct or full names
AS a result pioneers were somewhat
lax in recording the correct names Of
their fellowmen.
This refusal on the part of many tc
give accounts of themselves developed
into system of ethics whereby pioneers
refrained from asking personal ques.
tons. They judged each other as they
were, rather than who they were. i
men were not interested in his past
The present was important.
Characteristic of West
This system of ethics developed intt
the habit of naming men because o.
characteristics or uNusual incidents il
their lives. AS a result unusual anc
colorful nicknames became character
istic of the west and even today this
practice is carried on.
Among the names of Montana pio-
neers that stand out are Dandy Jim
Fred the Ratter, Scarface Charlie
Curly Dick, Froggy, Bail Land Charlie
