All States Join In.
Pandemonium reigned in the hall
for the best part of half an hour
as the delegates paraded around
carrying the banners of all the
States. One Texas banner got into
the parade. and fight was started,
but In the end the Texas banner
moved along with the rest.
Only one other candidate for the

Edward j. Coglan of Maryland

praised Senator Tydings for his
courage. his devotion to the prin-
ciples of the American Constitu-

always for principle, as in the case

While Secretary of State Hull was
balloted for, his name was not
formally placed in nomination and
before the results of the balloting
were announced the Governor of
Tennessee told the convention that
Mr.. Hull had never been a candi-
date and asked that the votes cast
for him be withdrawn.
When the District of Columbia
was called, Malcolm McConihe, act
Ing as chairman of the delegation,
announced the District would vote
for Roosevelt. although the deiega-
ton had high regard for Mr.. Far

July Fourth, 1865, found the gold
strike In Alder gulch booming. There
we're more than $4,000 people there,
Of whom three-fourths were from the
United States The Civil war was Just
over, and though there was still bitter
ness, among the SouthernerS there ap-
peaTed to be a general desire for the
return to the former Union and COM
mon interests.
July Fourth, 1865-According to q
chronicler Of the time: THE sum rose
over Alder gulch, which was now deni-
zened by every type Of man living along
the stream which had proved to be
such a gold-yielding line, far richer
in its yield than could be told even
in the most fabulous of biblical stories
Of the Land of Ophire, with whose gold
Jewish nations ornamented and gilded
the palace halls and temples Of their
day"
Among men present in the gulch at
the time were Thomas Francis
Meagher, Colonel Wood, John and
Mort Lott, Bob Hereford, A. j. Snyder
and George A. Bruffey. To celebrate
the day, a general parade was planned
and floats Of all kinds were arranged.
Among them was state wagon with
one Flo Caven as the Goddess Of
Liberty, surrounded by as many girls
as could be found and, according to
the chronicler, "au neatly and fanci-
fully dressed and presenting an In

A letter from Holland was re-

OF Amsterdam, ON May 20, and
sent by airplane, 1t took % days
to reach the person for whom it
was mtended-H. A. Doyer, man

Of Butte. The letter had been ex-
amined by the censors, although
nothing had been eliminated. A
slit across the back of the envelope,
at the bottom, was covered by a
pastel strip on which were printed
Swastikas and the announcement
two Of them-that IL had been
opened by the "wehrmacht."
The letter was also marked by &

By MARY STEWART

Jim was no especial hero. He was
only a western sheepherder, and
a drunkard But he was the most
popular man in town, loved by
every child and dog. He was gener-
GUS and jovial and his heart
was as big as the prairie around
Dupuyer. Mont, where he lived.
Like many western towns Dupuyer
had fIOurished greatly In the hey
day Of the cattIeman. Cowboys had
for years made It their headquar-
tiers. IL had 9 saloons, 2 general
stores, 2 blacksmith shops, a school
house, a parsonage and a large
number of boom town shackS. Its
name came from q French word
meaning the fat on the back of a
buffalo.
Pack trains and prairie schooners
came through the settlement. Cowboys
whooped 1t up whenever they came TO
town and, exhilarated with "redeye"
and "rattleSnake oil" shot up every
thing in sight. But the empire Of the
cattle king was waning and everywhere
people were coming in to take up land
under the homestead act This was
playing havoc with the cattle and sheep
business all over the west. Many a
fight was staged between the old-timers
and the tenderfeet who were coming
from the east The Businesses and hold
tngS of a generation of the old timers
were not given up freely and willingly
to the impractical newcomers who were
flocking In by the los of thousands
Jim, the sheepherder, had come into
town off and on for 80 years. His
habit was to herd sheep for some big
outfit until he had earned a "wad,"
which was a couple hundred dollars.
With this much in his pocket he al
ways had the irresistible impulse to
paint Dupuyer red and forget his sheep
for little while.
He'd Do II over Again
He would ride to town on horseback
and tie his horse to his favorite hitch
ing post and Immediately bolt hot
footed to his fayorite saloon. And that
was the last of jim for couple OF
days Also the last of his "wad."
After day or two Of SOLDERING up
he would borrow some money from the
Saloonkeeper with which to buy him
self a pair of shoes or oYeralls and
then he would ride back to the loneli-
ness of sheepherding to earn enough
money for another spree.
During his alcoholic moments Jim
was considerable of fighter. He never
licked, but the '1rattleSnake oil" would
give him courage enough to try. In
spite Of this he was a very popular
man. OF course, he was a good sheep |
herder, he was dependable when with
the sheep and he could tell tall stories
like nobody else in the country. He
was the life Of any party He could
sing to the heart of the west. He ac-
cepted the west. He was very part |
of the landscape and of the foothills /
and of the prairie Dupuyer was not
quite Dupuyer without Jim The west
is not a geographical place so much
as it is state of mind. Jim persona
fled that state of mind.
And then one day Jims spree was
his last. For once his heart refused /
poured In himself. He died in the back
shed Of a saloon, lying ON bed Of
straw.
He had no known relatives. He had
come west when young man. Mystery
shrouded his past. Only once had he
lifted the veil little, to a friend Of

AS recalled by D. c. Flint, Thompson
Falls, Butte had its own wild man IN
the nineties. He was discovered by
Fred Whitford and L. Grael In the
Wise river country, $50 miles south
west of Butte. They persuaded him to
accompany them on their return, May
81, 1895.
He told them that he had lived alone
in that region for 20 years. having come
there from Wisconsin, his home, after
the Civil war, in which he served. His
reason for coming, he said, was to
avoid the decaying civilization of the
time. He had been quite happy in the
wildS, living in rough lean-to among
some rocks, eating uncooked flesh OF
animals and making his clothing from
their skins. In fact it was reported
that he jumped from the wagon on the
trip in and, catching a jackrabbit, de-
voured it at once. This In spite OF the
fact that he was So years of age and
not so Spry as he once was.
He had had a few visitors. the most
persistent being an Anaconda for
capitol boomer, who was looking for
votes. The wild man told Whitford and
Grael he had been at Butte when he
first came to the country, but had
that. He was afraid of the new
tangled electric lights and would not
come nearer than WhitfordS road
house on the first evening
He did accept some city clothes
Shoes a coat and overallS. His fame
spread rapidly and he was finally pre-
vailed upon to allow himself to be
exhibited at Caplice nall, rs South
Main, tickets, IS cents.
But after 10 days Of this quiet life,
the man of the wilds became FESTIVE,
escaped" and wandered into the Cen
trail firehouse. The firemen were de-
lighted to have such distinguished
visitor. They sounded special alarm.

Caution Against Fires
In Forests Is Urned

The season is at hand when those
using the forests must use caution.
with four forest fires exttnguished to
date, officials of the Lewis and Clark
national forest emphasized. ALI so far
have been lightning caused, but the
mere fact that fires are starting Is
sufficient reason to urge care with
matches and cigarets, the officials de-
clared. Some lookout points have been
manned and plans are being made to
man others progressively as the season
advances.

Everybody stood by until the grave
was filled, as was the custom. Then
men and women walked solemnly down
