Here when a boat arrived trapper
known throughout eastern Montana as
Liver Eating" johnson, usually stood
guard. Peter Koch, writing in later
years, described this character thus
HE was leaning on a crutch, with one
leg bandaged, and the day being hot
his entire dress consisted IN scant,
much shrunken, red undershirt, reach
ing just below his hips His matted
hair and bushy beard fluttered in the
breeze, and his giant frame and limbs,
so freely exposed to view, formed an
exceedingly impressive and character
istic picture"
Sioux Renew Attacks
The Sioux vowed vengeance on the
town, and they renewed their attacks
with larger forces every few weeks
during the spring and summer. A
three-inch, Smooth-bore iron cannon
was lent to the settlers by General
Hancock, who furnished them q large
supply of solid shot, shell and cannis-
ter With this they were enabled TO
dispense the Indians from Sioux hill
whence they formerly signaled def
ance to the town.
Later in this year an eccentric and
restless Frenchman, who bee m e
known as "the man with 80 lives, -
added another sensation to Mussel-
shells brief annals. This man arrived
from Helena with the intention OF
taking passage down the river by the
first boat After waiting in vain several
weeks for the boat to appear, he came
to a sudden determination to return
alone on foot to Helena. He lost the
way and ran out Of food and showed
up at Musselshell a couple of weeks
later nearly exhausted, only to find
that the steamboat had come and
gone. In disregard of the warnings Of
the townfolk he made up his mind to
go back to Helena by the Benton
trail" Immediately after his departure
an alarm of Indians" was raised and
the inhabitants of the town turned out
under arms. The Indians we're seen
making their way through the timber
to the top of hill by which the Ben
ton trail assembled from the valley.

peril, began to climb the hill. The

townfolk exhausted every possible
means in their efforts to attract his
attention, but he kept on. AS ne neared
the summit where the Indians we're
in ambush the whites, as though by
common impulse, leveled their guns
and opened fire-not upon the Indians,
for that would have awaited nothing
but upon the Frenchman. His death
seemed inevitable. SO they determined
to cheat the Indians of their prey.
The bullets ratified around the
FTenchman, but he seemed to have a
charmed life. Rounding the bridge, he
found himself face to face with the
redskins They withheld their fire to
count their coups. In moment he
was surrounded. The leading Indian
counted his coup by dealing the
Frenchman a blow across the face with
the flat of a Saber This seemed TO
rouse the traveller for with q bound
he cleared the ring of Indians and
dashed down the hill. There were wit
nesses who were ready to swear that
his feet touched the ground only two
or three times on his way down. Not
one of the Indians dared to urge his
horse down the hill at pace sufficient
to overtake him. The Frenchman got
back safe and waited for the boat.

Founders of Kerchival City Thought 1t Would
Washed Away After Two Years but Was Rebuilt

Robert Burns lived too soon TO
know Of the best laid plans" of
Montana pioneers but what he
wrote ~of mice and men" was just
as true Of the scheme of a group
Of land promoters which envisioned
4 great city az the junction of the
MuSSelShell and Missouri rivers.
These pioneer city-p n ers
dreamed Of a great and growing
city, one that would take the river
trade away from Fort BentOn-a
hollow dream, as 1t turned out, for
the advent of the railroad rele-
gated Fort BentOn's river trade TO
the limbo Of the past. But they
did, nevertheless, found their city.
This settlement, founded in 1866 a.
Kerchival City was washed away bJ
the river in 1868, to be re-created the
same year as the town of Musselshell
Two years later this town also WaS
abandoned, but until 1874 a trading
post fingered on its site.
Even the members of the territorial
legislature had unbounded faith in the
glorious future of the town and In
1866 the county of "Musselshell was
created and the county seat fixed al
Kerchival City. AS the Missouri had
carried the county seat all the way
the Dakotas by the time the
next legislature met, the county seat
was established at Smithton, another
ghost city," while the name OF the
county itself was changed to Vivlon
AS congress annulled the laws of this
session, the county became a memory;
The present county Of Musselshen
owes its existence to an act of the
legislative assembly Of 1911 and the

that there is nothing to this Jim
Crow stuff, but a dead expense on the
state.
Yes, I ride in Jim Crow cars and
when l get off, I am the same man.
A few days ago while in Chicago and
other points, I rode in coaches, in
street cars, and in buses where white
and black were seated, wherever
they could find seat and none of
this had any effect on me. 1t didn't
change me and neither did it change
the white man. In fact of the business,
these things are too little for which
some states waste so much money.
LYNCHING
1t is generally conceded that public
opinion through the activities of the
Association of Southern Women For
The Prevention Of Lynching, is being
highly developed against lynching.
The National Association For The
Advancement Of Colored People is
another important factor in curbing
lynching Mobs do not pick people TO
lynch, mobs will lynch anybody, how
ever, mobs are worse on black folk
than any other arce of people. W.
pray for the time to come when rnobs
and lynching parties will be no more

According to press reports our emf
nent legislators at Jackson, Miss.
spent some time last week on the
Jim Crow question in the capitol.
Our eminent law makers seem to
have passed law that certain buses
transporting passengers in Miss. must
have one entrance for colored and
one for white. 1T also appears as If
there must be a partition separating
the white from the colored. Well 10
our way of thinking, quite a bit OF
time and money is wasted trying to
do something to or against the Negro
We hope that the law makers haven
really run out of something to do
and in order to make time they in
toduce a discriminatory bill
1t is a bit amusing when we thinl
of how some people keep after the
black folk, which to the editors mind
is something to make the Negro feel
inferior; something that will have a
psychological effect on him that will
make him feel that everybody else
is better than he Is.
l am happy to be a Negro. am
proud to know that somebody is
greatly and deeply concerned about
us as a group, to the extent that they
are always trying to catch us, pen us
up or humiliate US. This within it
self should let us know that some
body feels like the Negro will do
whatever any other race does if given
a chance, and sometimes if not given
a chance, the Negro win make his
chance or take a chance.
Don't you know that the white
man doesn't mean all this baIly-hoo
kept up by him with reference to Jim
Crowism. If you believe he does, just
go to his kitchen and you will see
in his kitchen big fat black women,
big fat mulatto women, little, skinny
black women, little, skinny, mulatto
women, with their hands in the flour,
meal and on the meat cooking a good
dinner, and these fat and skinny
Negro women will fix a good meal
that makes the Boss and Mistress

eat too much of that good old fashion
dinner, cooked stirred and seasoned
by these black folk. These black
folk who wash their clothes, care for
their children, clean their houses,
make their beds and anything else
that is to be done, and the white
people like it. Negro men are used

After you have taken care Of
these fundamental rules, start on
your skin. As ] have told you so
often before, it is important that
you cleanse your face at least twice
day, either with soap and warm
water, or good cream, depending
on the texture of your skin. A good
skin tonic which has an astringent
effect Is great help in toning up
the skin after cleansing. If your
