Whisky offered a serious problem to
the military authorities, both at the
posts and agencies. Some years later
on Nov 4. 1899. James c. Clifford,
then United States Indian agent at
Tongue River. in a communication to
County Attorney T. J. Porter at Miles
City, enclosed copies of sworn state
ments made by Sam Eating Crow and
William Wolf, both are northern Chey

ported as being drunk on Sunday

Tongue river. I Immediately ordered
agency jail. which was done. I had
them brought before me today and
asked them to tell me where they got
the whisky which made them drunk
on Sunday evening. The result was
the enclosed statements. I have gath
cred from the Indians that long time
ago some used to get liquor at that
place. 1t strikes me very forcibly that
such business ought to be stopped as
it is made a serious offense to give
or sell Indians, by law 1t is my opinion
that the matter ought certainly to be
investigated by the United States dis
trict attorney for such action as he
may think proper in the premises. as
it is rather dangerous business to give
any Indian liquor, not alone to the
person who sells it, but to innocent
women and children in the vicinity
of where they are, and might endanger
the lives Of many"
In facetious vein, the editor of
the Stockgrowers Journal, on Dec. 16,

1.-THE Indian is fast adopting the
habits of the white men. The use Of
whisky by the noble red man makes
him the peer Of his white rival.
There has been one accomplish
ment, however, in which the white man
held the edge but that Is wiped out
now.
an South Dakota a divorce suit Is
pending in which both parties are In
dams. This Is evidence that the civil.
zation Of the Indian Is accomplished"

TruPPers und Fur Farmers
Income $25O.OOO Annuu1lu

Montana trappers last winter re-
ceived about a quarter of a million
dollars for their furs, according to the
state game board. Jack w. Carney,
chief deputy game warden, also gives
these statistics on the industry: 1912
foxes were shipped by trappers and
commercial growers in Montana: silver
fox furs brought an average of S35,
while reds went for as little as Sc:
there we're 27,476 muskrat hides
shipped, but they returned only about
70 cents each to the owners; the 6973
beaver f,rs averaged S12. about the
same return as for the 305 marten;
mink. for which they received $3.50
each on the average.
Before the state took over regula-
ton of trapping. thousands of pelts
were taken each year. many of them
before they were in prime condition.

supervised the business and bearing

for the picking up. Several OF the
horses, particularly the young ones,
gave out, and six of the men had to
mount OH pack mules.
IL Men Get Drunk
ION the night of Dec. 3, some Grow
Indians succeeded in smuggling into
the camp lot of awful whisky and
IL of the men got fighting drunk.
They got hold of carbineS and began
firing in the air. One shot went
through the lieutenant's tent while he
was dressing a stab wound in the
arm of one of the Indians, missing
him only foot. 1t was an accidental
shot, however. He then took carblne
himself and went out.
by the time he had dubbed three
of the men into insensibility the rest
thought they had had fun enough. He
then took the firing pins out of all
the guns. and the next day put half
the troop at a time on guard and
kept them there.
LAS a result of the fracas one mule
was shot to death and a horse received
severe flesh wounds in both forelegs
and had to be left behind. In letter
he tells of his experience thus:
1.-The great trouble in dealing with
these men lies in their absolutely re-
fusing to give each other away. 1t was
dark night and I did not see any
one shoot, so l cannot make case.
When 1 questioned the troop the next
morning no man knew anything. Even
the man who was stabbed does not
know who did it. The sober ones-only
II of thef men were unmanageaole-
helped me like Trojans.
They hid the carbines as fast as
they could get them, and took away
a good many guns myself. often from
the very ones who had seized them be-
fore I have not any very clear idea
of individuals.
"'I took the names of the drunken
ones and tried them all the next morn
ing, but during the shooting which
lasted some 10 minutes before we cor
raled all the guns, the scenes were
shifting so rapidly that l coulo re-
member nothing.
I had laid out with my carbine turned
up in the morning with two guns he
had seized. Another whom could have
sworn to as one of the shooters was
out of the camp all night on pass
and turned up in the morning cold
sober.
All Deny Guilt
There was a certain element of
uncertainty about it the camp filled
with yelling Indians shooting, mules
and horses all but stampeded, kicking
and snorting, and the constant puffs
of light from carbines. We have done
all that we can to establish the guilt
of someone certainly, and one boy
named Smith american Horse), who
is one of the quietest and best be-
haved men in the troop is the only
man I feel reasonably sure was in the
shooting, and yet every man in the
troop swears that he had no hand IN
it. I know he did something, for his
head Is laid open where he says hit
him. I erred In not having a stronger
guard, but the men have behaved so
very well for the past six months that
I deemed 1t necessary only to look
out for the horses and mules.
