tient, and collected at each visit ir
ponies and robes.
But High Bear died And Crow King
was bankrupt, for all his robes ano
ponies had gone to the medicine men
4 Again that hazy intelligence that was
at work in Grow Kings brain told him
that the medicine men had sought his
riches and not cure for High Bear
I A few years later he perhaps realized
from contact with indian agency ply
+ Sicians, that High Bears illness was
from tuberculosis.
Turns Back on Medicine Men
Crow King washed his hands of
medicine men for all time except to
provide them a feast, and to destroy,
partly at least, superstition that was
traditional among his people.
Red Bird was Grow Kings only real
love- Even after she was gone his heart
ached for her, but he had shamed her
so deeply that he could not ask her
to return to his tepee.
But an Indian warrior must have a
woman in his lodge to keep 1t like
home and to do the work. So Crow
King had married again.
And Grow King babe his wife make
a feast, and he sent his invitations to
all the medicine men of the tribe TO
come and partake of it, and to bring
along LQelT meQlclIle.
And after Crow King had made his
talk praising the potency Of the charms
of the medicine men, he gathered into
his hands the medicine sacks of the
All-PoWerful who we're his guests.
without further ceremony, Grow
King turned and dumped just about
all the medicine in the Sioux tribe into
the fire in the center of the lodge The
surprised and outraged medicine men
looked for Crow King to drop dead at
this Sacrilege. The crowd about the
door of the banquet lodge groaned in
superStitious awe.
Crow King made another talk. He
told the medicine men their medicine
was a lie; they had, he told them, rob-
bed him as they had always robbed the
people. He invited them to take what
revenge they might upon him, but to
not let him catch them at it,
Grow King ordered food set before
the medicine men. They ate with what
appetite they could command, with
the means of their power and wealth
in ashes before their eyes
The feast marked the beginning Of
the end of the. power Of the medicine
men among the Hunkpapa Sioux.
But whatever vengeance the medi-
cine men sought to bring upon the
head of Crow King never came to his
attention. Crow King lived to be
leader in turning his people toward
the White Mans Road at the Stand
ing Rock agency under Agent James
Mclaughlin IN the years following 1881.

nowned range boss who also worked
for the Bay State outfit and the eek ,
also shown In the group Is Fred Nell
son, John Hodson, now In Great Falls,
j. s. Day and two Of the owners, Err
nest and Conner Armstrong.
This work began at sunup and the
photographer who CHANGED to be IN
CulbertSon In the fall of 1908 had to
show up early to get the shot. The cat
tie were driven from the river to the
yards at Culbertson and loaded for
shipment TO Chicago.
The Cherry Greek pool was by no
means the largest spread in the east
ern end Of Montana at that time, ac-
cording to Stephens. The famed KIT
Of Texas, also known as the long x
outfit, ran thousands of head Of fine
cattle and used more than 800 saddle
ponies in their roundupS and drives.
Things Weren't All Rosy
One shouldn't get the idea that
things were rosy all the time around
CulbertSon. Just a few years later and
after Stephens had set himself up In
business In that booming little town,
fire broke loose. Though it happened
on Jan. 5, 1907, things got hot in no
time. Before it was controlled, two city
blocks were burned.
While Stephens can't recollect for
certain, he suspected 300-pound Mon
tana Jim Helmer was mixed up in the
fire somehow, since Jim also was In
business in CulbertSon at the time.
This was period Of homesteading
and generally reckless activity, as two
incidents will illustrate. The $40 acre
settlers ruling had been opened up,
mainly established under the influ-
ence Of Judge Pray. AS result, the
boomers thronged to northeastern Mon
tana In the dozens and often hun
dreds.
At the time Daniels, Roosevelt and
Sheridan were all one large county. One
Of the more lawless incidents took place
when Tom Courtney was sheriff Of
that vast area. He had been in office
only three days when a call regarding
trouble came from Snowden on the
main line.
Courtney took his undersheriff, Dick
BurmaSter, and went In search of a
negro who had started the rumpus
and was repeatedly hiding near the
Snowden bridge. The negro was found
but he stepped out Of his seclusion and
shot both men in cold blood. Today
Stephens has a picture Of Courtney
and Burmaster which was taken pre- |
vious to the shooting.
Tale Of 'HOminy" Thompson
To mention but one more from the
Stephens album of Montana memories,
the tale of "Hominy" ThompSon's de-
fiance of the railroad has been told
many times Stephens has one of the
few copies of the picture of the Incl
dent
Elmer Thompson was a Texas cattle
hand who located at Whitehall. About
1918 the 500 line began an extension
the area and sought TO buy
the land belonging to "Hominy" which
was located five miles east of town.
The company offered $500, a high

.SCOBEY MAN HAS
RECORD OF PAST

Many a Montana pioneer has
vivid recOllectiOns of his experiences
in the west prior to and at the turn
Of the century but few have 3
Photographic history 10 illustrate
actual events. A Scobey oldtimer,
w. 7. Stephens, local theater pro-
prietor, had a colOrfuI career as .
frontier buster and raneher. But
TO make the story interesting to-
day, Stephens has the pictures that
go with his tales of yesterday.
Most folks IN Montana have heard
of the Texas KIT outfit, the stunt OF
"Hominy" Thompson at Whitehall
known about Montana Jim Helmer and
heard of the widely known rangeboSs
Jim Spergon. AS a cowhand out OF the
heart of the Indian territory In Okla
homa, Stephens knew all these char
acters and events personally. And to-
day he can dip into his file Of hun
dreds Of pioneer pictures to illustrate
his stories In detail.
When Stephens first hit northeast
ern Montana, there were few live spots
along the highline Among them was
CulbertSon and it was there that
Stephens began a career Of more than
40 years of life in this area. Being a
coWman, it was not long before he was
in the cattle business.
Vast Open Range
South Of the Missouri river from Gull
bertSon was vast range on which the
Cherry Greek pool ran its cattle. The
dozen or more outfits drove 10000
head of Herefords and Shorthorns over
this unsurveyed country and Stephens
was among the owners.
It was along about this time Of year
just 81 years ago that the pool made
a swim of 1,500 head Of steers and
culled COWS over the Missouri river to
the awaiting stockcars at Culbertson.
1t makes a kind of strange tale today
when Bill explains how 1t was done.
A photograph in Stephens collec-
ton helps show the methodical manner
in which the cattle we're taken across
the river. On the north side of the
there are already rounded up
800 or 900 head which previously had
been swlIlm across the river.
One sees the foreground group Of
cattle, comprising about 20 at first
and perhaps so to IS when things got
going, as they are being forced out into

the boatmen and driven by the riders.

bid, and would have made possible q
fat diet for one who repeatedly had
eaten homtny for years.
When the railroad refused TO give
the $4,000 'Hominy" wanted, and
threatened to run its right Of way
through, trouble on a minor scale
started. Thompson stuck to his guns
and planked his shack right on the
rails and the trains couldn't go
through.
The thing finally went to a judicial
committee and It said S1,7OO was
enough. Thompson refused and was
later bound over to federal court; the
matter got more involved before being
settled. In what is said to be the only
pictorial history of the event, Thomp-
son has his flag out and a gun handy
He lives today In Plentywood.

BY ELMO

Almost every one of the medicine
men of the Hunkpapa Sioux were
gathered in the festive lodge of
Chief Crow King. They were hon
Ored guests at a feast the like of
which had never been offered by
a Sioux leader The tribes sOr-
cerers had been asked 70 bring
along their medicine. This too,
was a matter of satisfaction, for
there was keen rivalry among the
medicine men as TO whose powers
against the evil spirits we're most
potent.
Three tepees had been thrown to-
gether for the feast. While the medi-
cine men sat about the festive board,
the curious. but unlimited, of the tribe
looked in at the open door
Crow King rose before the banquet
was served and made a talk. He told
the medicine men their charms were
potent, and their influence with the
spirits was such that they were feared
of all men. He had hidden them TO the
feast, but before the feasting they
must rejoice Grow Kings eyes with the
charms with which they performed
their miracles.
The medicine bags were produced,
each sorcerer flourishing his particular
medicine with pride. Crow KING walked
about, receiving the sacks until ne had
lust about all the medicine 10 De
found among the Hunkpapa sioux
Crow King had been the best Gus
toner of the medicine men Of his time.
They had received from him all his
wealth of ponies, and he was bank
rupt except for the credit among MS
tribesmen his prestige as a warrior
and leader brought TO MIN.
Wounded in War
Some years before, when Crow KING
was a young warrior, he had gone with
his band from the Yellowstone 10 the
Milk river country for battle with Inc
Grows. Crow King left behind his wife,
Red Bird, whom he loved dearly, and
whose love he had won by his pledge
that she would be the only woman IN
his lodge, since polygamy was habit
OF wealthy Sioux And Crow King had
shown as a young man that ne would
be a brave warrior, a courageous lead
er. and wealthy in ponies as he grew
in years and experience.
In the battle with the Crows, Crow
King received an arrow through his
body. There was blood in his lungs,
and he felt he was marked for death.
He refused to be a burden to his peo-
Die. and insisted on being left behind
In his tepee to die. Food was left with
him. and his war pony was tied out
side. Red Bird, his wife Of five sum-
mers would be told that he had died /
like a warrior
Grow King sat down alone to wait I
for death. His mind was filled with I
the stories and the magic of the medi-
cine men. His delirium brought visions
which. in saner moments, he inter-
preted in the light Of medicine-man
sorcery. During the fevered nights the
visions were clear and the ghosts were
close
II do not know how many nights 1
lay there" Crow King told white men
In later years. But always there came
q ghost, foremost Of all, who told me
{ might vet live among my people if
would but VOW that l would forget my
pride and my place as a warrior, and
for one day be as a dog and go on all
