Capt Grant Marsh was given the
contract to move the Indians down
the river to the reservations assigned
to them. Among them went Sitting
Bull and his two wives. The famous
Indian was shown much attention by
the inhabitants of the river towns at
which stops were made. 1t appealed

DAT HAY Is TOPS
AS WINTER FEED
EXPERIMENT STATION STATES 1T
ExCELS OTHER ROUGHAGEs
FOR EFFICIENCY

With feed crops coming into greater
prominence as the agricultural defense
program gains momentum. the animal
industry department at the Montana
agricultural experiment station points
out that oat hay surpassed all other
roughages for feeding efficiency In
wtntering beef COWS In experiments at
the north Montana branch station at
Havre.
Under the flood for defense" pro-
gram emphasis has been placed on
less wheat and increased feed crop
production. In line with the movement,
Montana's minimum goal for oat.
production calls for an increase Of
5000 acres In 1912. This crop plays
triple role IN the present emergency
for three reasons: It fits well In many
parts of the state as replacement
crop on wheat acres. it is always
good cash crop in Montana, and 1t Is
good feed crop both as grain and
as q roughage.
In the feeding trials with beef cows
az the north Montana station, oat hay
was compared with alfalfa, sweet
clover. blue Joint and corn fodder. In
each OF the five years the experiment
was conducted, the oat hay was the
most efficient roughage.

the little force Of soldiery was held
IN contempt. The Indians continued
to browbeat and buster, and the
agency appealed for additional troops.
Five more companies Of foot soldiers
and two troops Of cavalry made
nine days march from Fort Keogh
through deep snow and during bitter
cold weather to the agency.
Major nges was in command Of this
force. In all he had probably $50 men.
He called The Grow and Gan into a
conference, and asked them to dis
perse the Indians and avert trouble.
The Grow. according to the official
report made by nges, replied as fol-
lows:
Il and my people win not move un-
til spring. am tired Of talking with
you. Your soldiers are towards and
afraid to fight. II you attempt to in
terfere there viii be trouble. And If
you want to fight we are ready to fight

Crow Issues Warning
This was throwing down the gaunt-
let Of war to the whites. That night
The Crow sent word to certain agency
employees who had befriended him that
he would attack the place the next
day, kill all the whites and take for
himself the government supplies: Get |
away before the trouble starts. I do
not want to kill you," was his message.
In the meantime Sitting Bull had |
crossed over from Canada, and gone |
into camp on the Milk river, about |
P days journey from the agency. He |
knew everything that was going on
and was playing the fox. as usual,

Major uges decided to carry the

lore the Indians realized what was
happening the battle had commenced.
The fight continued for three hours,

that some Of the road agents coveted,

his own rendezvous with death would
not be long In coming II he stayed
around those parts.
Tries Flight Too Late
But stay around he did, while the
Vigilantes organized and went on the
prowl in earnest for the numbering
gang He put off his getaway until
after Erastus (Red) Yeager, caught
by the Vigilantes, had given them In
innate information about Plummer's
organization and until after five of
his henchmen had been hanged from
ridgepole In an unfinished store
building In Virginia City.
Then. on the evening Of Jan. o.
when 1t was too late. as subsequent
developments proved-Plummer made
ready to flee With him were TO 20
Ned Ray and Buck Stinson. They had
their horses saddled and brought into
town, ready for quick getaway
But 1t CHANGED that John 8. Lott
and three silent companions from Viz
ginia City rode into Bannack that
same evening. With them they carried
orders for the liquidation OF Plummer
and his two deputies. and these orders
we're carried out efficiently next
morning.
The Plummer who died on the
scaffold was not the same man who
served turkey and dressing that
Thanksgiving day. Gone was his COM
poSure and Suave assurance. There
might have remained down through
the years something of an aura Of
romance about him had ne gone out
like hero. But when the time came
for him TO take the leap into eternity
he turned yellow. Ray and Stinson,
by contrast, fought and cursed but
took their medicine like men.
Plummer simply didn't have the
spunk 10 do this. The starch had gone
out OF him. He begged for his life
on any terms. He invited them to cut
off his tongue and his ears-that he
be stripped and sent naked into the
winter wilderness. All he asked was
a chance to live and repent his evil
ways.
But the Vigilantes could scarce be
expected to lend an attentive ear 70
appeals for compassion from the likes
Of Plummer The sheriff had never
shown any to the victims Of his muir
derous enterprises. The Vigilantes may
have strayed off base a time or two
in their assiduous campaign TO clean
up Bannack and Virginia City but
they had reason aplenty to deny
Henry the further pleasure Of living.
And so the handsome sheriff, still
young and in the prime Of life

but also sinister. cold-blooded and
deadly, joined George Ives, Boone

The Dyer act closed legal loop
hole for auto owners by making 1t
federal offense to take any stolen
car across a state line, regardless Of
its value. Cattle owners obtained add
ed protection for their stock in the

cattle theft law. It imposes a maxi
mum penalty Of 5000 fine and inn
prisonment for five years for trans
portation Of stolen cattle in interstate
commerce with knowledge Of their
stolen character, besides providing for
federal investigation Of violations.
The cattle theft act was put to use
just two days after its enactment and

FEDERAL AGENTS

CATTLE RUSTLERS
G-MEN CONFER WITH sTOCKMEN
REGARDING ENFORCEMENT OF
RECENT FEDERAL ACT

Rustlers, enemies Of western cattle
men since the days when the latter's
only resources were q rifle and a six
gun strapped to the thigh, face a new
nemesis-the Oman.
Throughout the west, agents Of the
department Of Justices federal bureau
Of investigation now are comforting
with cattle raisers on enforcement Of
the national cattle theft act. After
passage by congress, the act received
President RooSevelt's approval on
Aug. Is.
F. B. I. men, here to get views Of
northern Montana cattIemen on the
rustling problem, explained that the
new act gives the federal government
jurisdiction, for the first time, when
cattle known TO have been stolen are
transported across state line.
In the period Of stx-gun justice, a
trip across a state the size Of Montana
was the event Of decade rather than
a casual weekend journey. Sheriffs

single county we're able TO cope with
rustling but Developments in methods
Of marketing someone else's calves
have necessitated new control efforts.
With the aid Of fast trucks that
permit them to laugh at state and
county lines, rustlers have staged a
comeback. The new cattle theft law,
however, win put federal officers on
The trail Of interstate operators. It's
being hailed as the Dyer act Of the
cattle industry.
