PAGEANT TO TELL
OF HEROIC TREK
By THE REV. PATRICK CASEY

A pageant depicting the trek of
Father Pierre Jean De Smet. S. J..
and his heroic companions through
the wilderness a century ago to estab-
lish the gospel of Christ in the home
of the Selfish will be shown at Mon
tana State university on an elaborate
three-tiered stage.
The pageant script is the work of
the Rev. Louis Egan. S. j., of Yakima,
Wash, whose knowledge of the his
torical data and whose experience
with former similar performances
have given him a wealth Of knowledge
that is unrivaled in the northwest.
Original music will be heard that
will bring the auditor back in fancy
to the day when the F7atheads re-
ceived their Black, Robe in the midst
of an exuberance of jubilation that
/ finds a parallel only on that magni-
ficent occasion when the ancient
Irish received their Patrick On Taras
Holy Hill. The scenery for the pa
| geant is being constructed by Larrae
Hayden, dramatics instructor for the
University of Montana and he will be
assisted by c. Edison Sprigs.

Montana Legislature Fought Judges in Early Days.;
Angry Solons Changed Name of Edgerton County

Judge william Y. Pemberton was
sae q the famous early day lawyers.
He came 70 Montana Is . very young
nan, with httIe but his xheepskin. His
fra historical achievement was 70 act
~ eIerk Of the miners' court which
oaodemned George Ives, super-bandit,
and thereafter. because II marked the
beginning Of law and order. the off,
ctab u this famous irregular court
were marked for preference, the two
outstanding men being Judge Penn
bertoa and Col. Wilbur F. Sanders,
enc . republican and the other a
democrat.
For third of century they
stumped the state in political cam
paigns for their respective parties, os-
tensibly the bitterest of political enc
mics. but In reality the closest of
friends. Reward and preferment came
to both Of them. Colonel Sanders was
the first United States senator for
Montana. and the gown of chief justice
came to Judge Pemberton. Here is n
story by Judge Pemberton, written a
few years before his death, in which
he tells how the county of Edgerton,
named In territorial days for Mon
tana's first governor, was changed to
Lewis and Clark.
The first session OF the legislative
assembly Of the territory of Montana
was held at Bannack, converting on
the 18th day Of December. 1864. This
legislature, by one act. approved Feb
2. 1865, created the counties of Mis-
soula. Deer Lodge. Beaverhead, Madi-
son. jefferson. Gallatin and Chouteau.
defining their boundaries and locating
their county seats.
Big Horn Created
BY this act Big Horn county was
created. which included all that por-
ton OF the territory not included
within the counties above named and
for judicial and legislative purposes
attached to Gallatin county. Big Horn
county was perhaps the largest county
that ever existed anywhere. 1t in
cluded nearly all the eastern and
northeastern portion Of the territory.
There was scarcely white man liv-
ing at the time within its borders.
It was never organized. 1t seems to
have remained unditurbed and un-
occupied in a condition Of innocuous
desuetude, and finally, without notice,
to have passed out Of existence.
All Of the other original counties
except Edgerton have retained the
names given them by the act of crea-
ton, although their boundaries have
been changed, and many new coun-
ties have been formed within their
original boundaries.
No Dissenting Vote
On the 18th day Of December, 1867,
an act passed the fourth legislature,
sitting at Virginia City, which changed
the name Of Edgerton county to that
of Lewis and Clark. The questions we
are to discuss are: Why was this &C
ton taken? Was it animosity on the
part of the legislature towards Gov
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1941-08-22

history says that this action was
the result Of the snoldering embers Of
political hatred" This was wrong, for
the embers had not had time to smol-
der after the war. In many instances
the fire burnt too brightly, and the
blood was still hot with hatred and
passion that coursed through the veins
Of the people.
Any opinion as to what was the
real motive of the legislature in en-
acting this law is necessarily at this
date more or less a guess. In this
article We have endeavored TO give all
the facts concerning the matter that
have been available. We have ex-
pressed no opinion of our own and
we leave it to those who read this
paper to form their own judgment and
conclusion. But whatever the motive,
whether animosity to Governor Edger-
ton or luminosity to the courts, or
both. this legislation was i'll advised
and undeserved so far as Governor
Edgerton was concerned.
Edgerton Did Noble Work
Governor Edgerton was a radical
republican. it is true, but he was a
patriotic and honest man. good citi-
zen. n good governor and did a noble
work in organizing the territory OF
Montana and starting it on its first
steps along the highway which it has
travelled until it has reached the dis
tinction of being one Of the grandest
and richest commonwealths in the
sisterhood Of states. He deserved tc
have some county in the young COM
monwealth he had helped to organize
named after him to perpetuate the
historic fact that he was, and was
worthy to be, the first governor o!
Montana.
This case. even If it be admitted
that the legislature acted in hostility
to Governor Edgerton, is not without
precedent. Cass county, Missouri, was
when it was created in the early his
tory of that state, named Van Buren,
democratic president of the United
States In 1910 Van Buren,, after hav'
ing been elected president by TIT
democrats years before, accepted thu
nomination of the free soil party fol

claimed that his candidacy defeated
General Cass, who was the democratic
candidate for president. This mad'
