Shakespeare, that "A man may smile
and smile, and be a villain still.
In the fall of 1882 midst the thrall-
dom of murder and rapine In the Ban
mack country, William H. Bell, miner,
died of mountain fever. He desired his
funeral to bear an association with the
things of his past life. His last request
was that he be buried with Masonic
ceremonies.
How many Masons might there be In
Bannack? No one had any idea. A call
was made. Nathaniel p Langford and
others spent the night in cabin prov
ing the Masonic affiliations Of the sur
prising number Of men who answered
the call
The funeral next day was an unusual
spectacle for a wilderness community.
The MaSons performed the impressive
rites Of their order while the populace
looked on The road agent element
watched with awe and new kind of
fear Here, they knew, was the thing
which would ultimately be their un-
doing. Their subsequent conduct, no
less heinous than before, was always In
the shadow of this new power, still
latent in the hands of those who held it.

Cleared Land Adds
Wealth to FLGthend

Flathead County Agent Leonard Il
Jason told the Whitefish Chamber OF
Commerce that Flathead valley Is
richer than q year ago by about 5000
acres OF highly fertile agricultural land
The increase In acreage Is the re-
suit OF the Whitefish land clearing
program sponsored by the chamber Of
commerce and the farm security ad-
ministration
There has been 1900 acres cleared
through the Flathead improvement as
ISOLATION and the remainder by tndi-
viduals who took advantage Of the
seven carloads of cheap. stlImpin9
dynamite made available TO the pro-
gram by the FSA.
Acreage already cleared represents
but very, small portion OF the SO O0O
acres OF fertile stump land that & Ia
tne vicinity OF Whitefish and Still
water rivers, Elliason said. This land
Grows excellent produce when cleared
OF StumpS and eventually It will be
the resource that makes the Flathead
valley the greatest agricultural area
IN the state" he added

for the crime was the denouement
which paved the way for action BY this
time the publics suspicion had worn
pretty thin the cloak of respectability
draped about the road agents. There
was not. however, proof good in court
of the guilt of the suspected men.
There was enough actual knowledge
for the Vigilantes to act upon. If there
was doubt in any case, the suspected
man was banished for the public good.
If there was reasonable proof, hang
mans court handled the case wherever
the culprit was found. Only a few
weeks were required for the Vigilantes
to effectively rid the country Of the
organized band.
Fear ruled the road agents to the
last. When caught and confronted with
proof OF their guilt, most of them,
either by cringing, caviling conduct or
by ridiculous shows Of bravado, dis
played the cowardice of their calling.
And it has never been said of the
Montana Vigilantes that they hung q
man who was not guilty.

Madame Boisverde, Kootenai Squaw
Was "Calamity Jane" of Indian Tribes

Upon arriving at the Columbia river,
Ko-come-ne Pe-ca and her companion
made the mistake Of following that
stream. This error took them 1900 miles
out of their way, and brought them
eventually to Astoria instead Of Fort
Frazer. Both Alexander Ross and
Franchere have described Ko-come-ne
Pe-ca's arrival at Astoria. Franchere
notes that she could not speak the
she wore q costume common to In
dams east of the Rockies. She showed
Franchere the letter she was to deliver
to John Stuart at Fort Frazer.
Alexander Ross says: Among the
many visitors who every now and then
presented themselves were two strange
Indians 3. the husband, Ko-come-ne
Pe-ca, was very shrewd and intelli-
gent Indian and gave us much infor-
nation about the interior Of our coun-
try" Ross did not realize that Ko-

that her long costume was foreign to
Indians In the vicinity Of Astoria.
Most anyone else who had gone 800
miles out Of his way would have given
up the effort to deliver the letter, but
not the adventurous Ko-come-ne Pc
ca. She was enjoying herself immense
~. The Indians were In awe Of her,
and white men came TO ask her advice
about travel In the interior. She was
considered such an authority on the
latter subject that when she resumed
her journey toward Fort Frazer q party
Of white traders accompanied her.
BY this time Ko-come-ne Pe-ca had
carried her tales of giants and other
supernatural beings so far that many
Of the Indians were afraid Of her, and
one group planned to kill her. It was
at this tlncture that she appealed to

but good, and this move brought her
more followers than ever before. Her
Wild tales we're Incorporated into the

the leader Of a cult that numbered
thousands Of Indians and some his

in the northwest years later.

arrived at Fort Frazer with string

laden with furs and other gifts. She
did what she had set out to do and
delivered the letter to John Stuart at

There Is not much information on
Pe-ca after that time.
She continued her wanderings among
northwest tribes, practicing her super
natural rites and taking part In
tribal wars in one Of which
she received fatal wounds.

FIRST TO CLIMB
DEVILS TOWER
WILLIAM ROGERS, RANCHSIAN,
TOPS LANDMARK NEAR BROAD
US. JULY 4, 1888
Is Cheered on by Neighbors as He
Makes Ascent With Aid Of Wooden
Pegs Driven Into Crevices in Rock;
Sides Almost Perpendicular.
By WALTER 2. TAYLOR


To celebrate the holiday Of July
4, 1888, many 2 resident Of south
eastern Montana and northeastern
Wyoming hied himself 70 the rocky
base of the Devils Tower, famous
landmark that looms ON the h0-
rizon southeast Of BrOadus, Mont,
and = few miles over the Wyoming
line. The crowd had been attracted
to Devils Tower that holiday by
the news that William Rogers,
rancher Of that district, had am
nOunced that he was going 70
climb the tower
The sides OF this great pillar Of ig-
neous rock are almost perpendicular
and many had predicted that no man
would ever make the climb success
fully. There we're many wagers laid
that day that William Rogers couldn't
do It,
While the crowd gathered around
to give him advice and encouragement,
Rogers began his climb and within a
few hours stood ON the summit, 800
feet above the heads of the cheering
crowd, and 1000 feet above the bed Of
the Belle FoIrche river that flows q
few hundred feet from the base Of the
tower.
Rogers Used Pegs
Rogers made the climb, the first as
cent by q white man, with the aid Of
wooden pegs which he drove into
creVices In the rock. Since that initial
climb was made, about 60 persons have
in reaching the top Of the
Devils Tower. All the climbers who

pegs or other aids, until 1888. when 1t

It can be conceived that good men,
caught In a net of circumstances, were
forced to criminal paths against their
desires. Once in the grasp Of the fear
that held the road agents together, and
with no organized public protection,
they were forced to continue in the
life of crime that had caught them IN
It's net.
The Vigilante organization took cog
nizance Of this fact by the banishment
Of men in uncertain cases.
In Montana the basis for mutual
understanding and trust among honest
men came about In an unexpected
manner. Its coming instf1led q new
kind Of fear IN the breasts of the road
agents. Though the delay was 10 cost

tana mountains builded slowly aud wei,
