SOLDIERS PACT
IS CARRIED OUT.
SPEEDY SWIFT OF GREAT FALLS
ATTENDS FUNERAL OF S. r.
FREEMAN
Latter Was One of Two Survivors of
Men Who Volunteered for Yellow
Fever Innoculation in Cuba to Help
Scientists Fight Disease.

A pact made a decade ago, in
which J. S. "Speedy" Swift of the
Mint cigar store at Great Falls
and Stephen R. Freeman, Simms
farmer, agreed that the last to go
should attend the funeral of the
other, has been fulfilled. Swift re-
turned a few days ago from San
Diego, Calf, where he attended
services for Freeman, who died of
a heart attack at the age of So.
Freeman sold his farm, where he
specialized in potato and turkey rails
ing, about two years ago and went to
San Diego. Freed of the routine of a
farm he threw himself into veterans
activities, being named chaplain of
the United Spanish War Veterans and
intelligence officer of the Regular Vet
Grams association.
Freeman. it was revealed after his
death, was one of the two last SUR
teered for innoculation with yellow
fever in DR.. Walter Reeds historic
search in Cuba for the cause of the
disease.
He served with the cavalry in the
Spanish American war. DR.. Reed,
searching for the cause of yellow fever,
which was taking more lives than bull
let's. called for volunteers to test his
theory. Fully realizing that death
might result, but that if Dr. Reeds
idea was correct many other lives
would be saved Freeman and others
gambled their lives for science.
Freeman worked at the Great Falls
smelter for a time before taking up
farming in the Simms area about 20
years ago. He was Cascade democratic
committeeman from Simms for many
years and was well known throughout
the Sun river valley.
Funeral services were held under
the auspices of various military and
veterans organizations and burial was
in the military plot on Point Iona
overlooking San Diego harbor.

The 1889 fish distribution pro-
gram of the state fish and game
department has been started with
statewide planting Of Loeb
Leven and eastern brook trout,
John w. Schofield, state SUPER
intendent of fisheries, said.
He said the first distribution
would be followed by others during
the summer until early next Sep
TENDER.
After distribution of Loeb Leven
and brook trout, Montana's flashy
rainbows, native trout and gray
ling will be liberated, he said.
The fish are "fingerlings," nur-
tured in state hatcheries, some Of
them "holdovers" from last years
supply.
Schofield, who returned from a
statewide survey of hatcheries, said
the outlook for the 1899 season was
bright. He said the annual SHAWN
take would probably be larger than
that of last year, and that all of
MOntana's 10 spawn-taking sta
tions were actively engaged.
