believed to be the first fresh water fish
derby to be staged in this section Of

Jimmy followed the rainbow trail

The hcavy-wealth-p promising ore in
his enfceblGd hands, when his tired
eyes knew that at last he had
found that which he had spent his

SICK heart at last knew Joy. Fate
had given him, in the moment be-

It Is our hope that Jimmy McGinnis
died happy. At least. he had the know

together III small house that over

OF Washoe, Mont. They will tell you ex-

tunes made and lost. Dick and Tommy
represent a hardy. carefree class OF
men; the pioneers Of mining who spent
their lives in the search for riches,
many times found them.
MCGnnlS was the finest man ever
in the mountains" Dick continued. He
was a SlX-fOoter in his bare feet and
an easy man to get along with His
only trouble was that he drank too
much whisky like myself"

A troop of the First Cavalry was
lined up in front of the offices at
the Lame Deer Indian agency on
September Is, 1890. Beside them
stood the Indian police of the res
ervation. Both the cavalry and the
police were armed with loaded guns.
The people Of the agency were
ranged about the grounds cut of
any possible line of fire. There was
tense expectancy in the attitude
of the crowd. These people were
about to witness an unusual event.
Suddenly two Indians appeared at

Dick struck out for Cooke City.
Four days later he returned with
two men from Cooke named Hender-

from the Daisy mine. They uncovered
the miners body, tied it TO a saddle
and began the difficult trek back to
