 Is Successor

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20-William Broekman Bankhead, 66. Speaker of the House of Representatives. died early Sunday morning from a rup- tured artery in the abdomen. Im- pressive services were held here Tuesday in the House chambers with President Roosevelt. members of Congress. and other national and foreign dignataries in attendance, and Wedesday the body was return ed to his home state of Alabama where funeral services were held, the President and members of Con gress going by special train to pay final tribute to the man who had headed the House since 1936.
 Sam Rayburn of Texas has been elected to succeed Benkhead as Speaker.
 Elected first to the sixty-fifth, or war Congress" he realized a long cherished ambition to Wield the Speakers gavel upon the death of Speaker Joseph W. Byrns of Ten ueSSee near the ClOSe u lu6 4VoV session.
 Long a prominent figure in Dem ocratfc politics, Bankhead was nom mated by the recent Democratic convention in Chicago as Vice Pres idential candidate but lost in the balloting to Henry A. Wallace.
 Born on a small plantation at Moscow, Alabama, on April 12, 1874, Bankhead was the son of a Confederate army captain who blaz- ed a trail to congress which later was followed by two of his sons.

About 10 years after the fathers death, another son, John H. Bank head, second, won a senate seat.

Prior to 1910 there was no bridge
across the Yellowstone river between
Glendive and Miles City. a distance Of
so miles. There were several ferries.
the one at Terry being operated by
B. j. Bragg. This was the only means
of transferring livestock, wool, wood,
coal and other commodities to the
railroad on the south side of the river
Residents in other areas had little in
tereSt in supporting a bond issue for
bridge to Terry.
1t was finally agreed between the
commissioners of Custer county and
the proponents of the bridge that if
all costs of a special election were
met by the Terry group. that the mat
ter of bond issue would be referred
to the voters Of the county. The cleo
ton campaign was begun and it was
a strenuous and time-consuming af-
fair. The people in the Terry raised
$4,000 to meet the costs Of the elec-
ton, and when the results were known,
very few votes had been cast against
the bond issue. But the difficulty Of
obtaining cooperation in large areas,
sympathetic understanding between
all parts of the big counties, led up
to the active movement for securing
new county.

Boundary War Accompanied
Birth of Prairie County

Events leading to the organization of
Prairie county were recalled recently
when the county marked its 25th an
niversary.
The formation of territories around
Terry into a county was the dream
of E. H. Mcdowell, who was for Is
years owner and editor of the Terry
Tribune. and who died in 1925.
w. A. Brubaker, president of the
State bank of Terry, was general
chairman of the committees who be-
gan the push for the separation of
territories from Dawson and Custer
counties which eventually formed the
new area. The work was finally COM
pleted by the combined efforts of the
Terry Chamber of Commerce and the
help of prominent citizens OF Mildred
and other parts of the proposed county.
The need for the new county was
early demonstrated. Roads were poor
and distances great. Dawson and
Custer counties were huge areas and
residents found it exceedingly diff
cult to get to their county seats. 1t
was a common sight in Terry to see
parties bound for the county seat with
wagons drawn into a circle for the
night, horses hobbled, and a group
around a campfire. Going ito town"
was q weeks venture, and an impos-
stble feat In unreasonable weather.

Bourke Third cavalry, blamed failure
of the winter campaign on lack of CO.
operation by troops of the department
of Dakota, with headquarters at Fort
Lincoln. Such cooperation had been
expected, since wires had been ex-
changed between General Custer and
General Crook late in February. But
no Dakota troops appeared in the field.
There was no alternative but to
abandon the campaign and return to
Cheyenne. Indians kept following the
troops and regalning numbers of their
ponies still held. To stop this General
Crook ordered the captive animals
killed in punches. The men cut steaks
from the unfortunate animals to aug
ment their food supply until they
reached the wagon train at Fort Reno.
The men came through the ordeal in
good condition, and there was but little
suffering from any cause.
Failure to follow up the advantage
gained in the fight with Crazy Horse S
braves, however, served only to
strengthen the morale of the Indians
and to dampen the spirit Of the SOL
diers.
The Indians felt satisfied that they
could whip any body of United States
troops on any field they chose. Soldiers
in numbers deserted from Fort Russell
as the time for the campaign in the
summer of 1876 approached. They ad-
mitted they had no heart for cam
paign under officers who abandoned
their wounded and dead to the enemy,
Crazy Horse spread the word to all
the villages of the Plains tribes. The
confidence of the Indians in their
ability to meet the soldiers anywhere,
at any time, had its climax in the
Custer massacre on the Little Big Horn
in June, 1876.

origin of the fire was not determined,
but Pierre Chouteau was sure it Was
the dirty work OF rival traders who
were jealous Of him and his steam
boats. The loss OF the entire season S
collection OF peltS was a severe one
but the value of steamboats, on the
upper river had been proven and the
American Fur Co. built a fleet TO take
care OF that business. For years the
boats made no attempt to make COM
mercial voyages above Fort Union and
that portion Of the river was LEFT to

decided the time had come to send
steamboats, beyond Fort Union TO take
care of the trade of the booming Fort
Benton. A boat specially designed for
the upper river currents was built. II
