Two Deer-Killing Lions Slain
BY Hunter In Boulder Valley

Roy Murray, veteran lion hunter
and stockman of the Boulder val
ley, killed two mountain lions in
one day after the pair had slaugh-
tered three-point buck deer and
a fat cow elk. The elk was one OF
a herd recently transferred by the
Rocky Mountain Sportsmen's as
ISOLATION from the Yellowstone
park area to Boulder valley. Muir
ray shot the cats after a 24-hour
trek with horse and dog, during
which he was forced to camp out,
near the top Of Old Badly mountain,
with the mercury registering well be-
low zero. While waiting for daylight
he and his horse and dog lowered near
a fire which Murray was able to make
from dead timber In the district. He
caught up with his prey the next day
at noon. The lions had Just killed an
elk and were resting In the neighbor-
hood.
Telling Of the hunt, Murray said:
Hearing that there were lions in the
Crow creek country, I started for there
on horseback, my dog, Lead follow
ing He Is half airdale and half hound.
Late that afternoon found where the
lions had killed a deer and eaten it..
I was able to pick up their tracks and
started In pursuit. When night came
I was near the top of Old Badly. The
weather was below zero, the snow deep
and crusted. I built a fire and stood
around it all night. Millions Of stars
twinkled through the frosty air.
"At daybreak I set out again, follow
ing the trail OF the cats. I knew they
were big fellows by the size Of their
tracks. we had TO fight high cliffs,
fallen timber and deep snow. 1t was
almost noon when I caught up with
them. They had Just killed an elk.
My dog freed them In hurry, after
which 1t was an easy matter 70 bring
them down with my rifle. examined
the elk and found the original tag IN
his ear which had been attached TO
1t by the sportsEnen when they moved
q bunch of the elk from Yellowstone
park to the Boulder valley"
Murray was assisted In bringing the
dead lions out OF the wild and rocky
country by Bin Sweet and Mike Quinn
with the aid of pack h0rsea.

Manning of Shoshone Lake Wrought an injustice
to Montana Pioneer, COL Walter w. De Lacy

were on the headwaters Of the North
Fork Of the Snake.
Continuing northward they travelled
down a stream which they eventually
recognized as the West GalIatin, after
which they turned west up Spanish
creek to cross the mountains to the
Madison and home to Virginia City.
The Hayden rejection of the name
Lake de Lacy for the present Shoshone
lake ranked in Colonel de Lacy's heart
for the rest of his life. He wrote In
the later years of his life:
I'm 1872 Professor Hayden visited
this lake and renamed it 'Shoshone
lake, stating that the numerous and
outrageous errors in my map deprived
me of any claim to the perpetuation Of
my name, and insinuating that I
claimed to have been, but had not been,
in the region.
When / saw this note In his report
of 1878 wrote a short narrative Of
the trip and sent it, together with my
original notebook and the original map,
Nathaniel P) Langford, with a request
that he would do me justice. He stated
to this gentleman that the note had
been inserted by one of his assistants,
without his knowledge, and that 1t
should not occur again. He had pho
tographic copy of the map made, and
said that he had some idea of writing
to some prominent journal in the west
upon the subject-and there the matter
rested. I still remain under a stigma
in a published report, such as never
before received in a long professional
career, and, as think, unjustly, and
against which now protest.
Il never claimed that my map was
correct in all particulars, or that I
had been entirely over the region in
question. Outside of the surveys and
my own explorations, was obliged to
rely upon the reports Of others who
had been there hunting or exploring,
and these were not always accurate.
put down what considered the best,
hoping to be able to improve the map
every year, and make 1t thoroughly
correct finally.
II do claim, however, that was the
first to publish the fact that the South
Snake river took its rise in a large
lake, north of Lake Jackson and flowed
into it--a fact confirmed by DR. Hay
dens own surveys; and this would au-
thorize me, according to the general
rules governing geographers, to name
it myself, or for others TO give 1t my
name.
I'm saying this, however, am per-
fectly well aware that the fur traders
and trappers were thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the country and visited every
portion of it, but their knowledge died
with them. have seen every Kind Of
map which has been published in the
last 80 or IS years and have never

An extract from "Recollections
of Charley Russell" by Frank Bird
Linderman (1868-193s) is pub
nshed for the first time in the
spring number of Frontier and
Midland, the Missoula literary
magazine. The magazine, published
at Montana State university under
direction of DR.. Harold G. Mer-
RAM, devotes the issue to Under
man as a commemorative edition for
one of Montana's greatest writer's.
Linderman, the eldest son Of James
Bird and Mary A. Linderman, was
born Sept. IS, 1859, at Cleveland. He
obtained his public school education
at Elyria, o., and at the age Of 16 en-
tered Oberlin business college.
He stayed In college but a few
months and In 1885 came west to live
among Indians in the Flathead coun-
try. He spent five years hunting and
trapping for q living. In 1891 he met

Pacific slope, Yellowstone park
tourists stop on clear days to look
upon this water jewel in its wood
land setting. The name "Sho-
shone," with its euphonic Sibilance
and its obvious Indian-wilderness
theme, is significantly appropriate
to this lake which is seen only
from afar by the average traveller. But
It's naming wrought an injustice to
Montana pioneer which was never
righted and which ranked until death
eased the FESTIVE resentment Of pro-
fesSional senSibilities.
The injustice resulted from the
laundering bigotry of a clerk with the
Hayden survey of the Yellowstone park
area in 1872, and it was perpetuated
through the apparent careleSsness or
indifference of Dr. Hayden himself.
The first maps ever made of the
southern Yellowstone region were made
by Col Walter w de Lacy, Montana
pioneer who visited the region In 1868.
On all maps of the United States sur
veyor general up to the establishment
of Yellowstone park, the lake carried
the name of Lake de Lacy.
