gerous than hostile Indians because
Of the fact that Indians were at once
detected, whereas the Quantrill band
went to any extreme to carry out their
devilish designs, such as wearing a
uniform which would allay the sus-
picions of those in whose section Of
the country they we're operating. Every
man was armed with a carbine and
from two to four revolvers. They
seemingly could never be caught nap
ping, were enabled by their daring,
dashing and unexpected attacks to
keep 1000 federal cavalry busy for
three years, besides some 5000 infan-
try, guarding towns, trains and supply
depots. The hairbreadth escapes Of
this notorious guerrilla chief would
form the basis for a huge volume.
QuantriII Oath
The following terrible oath was re-
quired to be taken by every new re-
crlit joining QuantrilPs guerrillas:
I'm the name of God and the devil,
the one to punish and the other to
reward, and by the powers OF light and
darkness, good and evil, here, under
the black arch Of heavens avenging
symbol, pledge and consecrate my
heart, my brain, my body and my
limbs, and swear by all the powers
Of he'll and heaven to devote my life
TO obedience to my superiors; and
that no danger or peril shall deter
me from executing their. orders; that
I viii exert every possible means IN
my power for the determination OF
FederaIs, Jayhawkers and their abet-
tors; that In fighting those whose SER
pent trail has winnowed the fair fields
and possessions of our allies and sym
pathizers, I viii show no mercy, but
strike with an avenging arm so long
as breath remains.
Il further pledge my heart, my
brain, my body and my limbs never
TO betray a comrade; that win sub
NIT TO all the fortunes cunning man
kind can inflict, and suffer the most
horrible death rather than reveal a
single secret Of this organization, or
a single word Of this. my oath.
Il further pledge my heart, my
body, my brain and my limbs never
to forsake a comrade, when there Is
hope, even at the result Of great peru,
of saving him from falling into the
hands Of our enemies; that I win sus-
tain Quantrills guerrillas with my
might and defend them with my blood,
and, If need be, die with them. In
every extremity I win never withhold
my aid nor abandon the cause with
which now cast my fortunes, my
honor and my life.
Before violating a single clause or
imperiled pledge Of this obligation, I
win pray for an avenging God and
an unmerciful devil 70 tear out my
heart and roast It over the flame OF

sulphur; that my head may be split
open and my brains scattered over the
earth: that my body may be ripped
up and my bowels torn out and fed
to the carrion birds; that each Of
my limbs may be broken with stones
and then cut off by inches that they
may be fed to the foulest birds Of the
air, and lastly, may my soul be given
to torment that it may be submerged
In melted metal and stifled by the
fumes Of he'll, and may this punish
ment be meted out 10 me through all
eternity, in the name Of God and the
devil Amen"
Took No Prisoners
Quantrill's guerrillas travelled I'M
impeded with baggage and observed
none Of the rules of civilized warfare
They took no prisoners-none TO be
left alive. They wore, as above stated,
no regular uniform, save to be used
for DISCUSSES. They were familiar with
every inch of the country where they
operated; knew every farmer and
every cowpath. and practically owned
the entire country from the Missouri
river south TO the Arkansas line. They
rode none but the finest and fleetest
of horses, operating where they could
easily substitute fresh mounts for
their faded steeds, as occasion re-
quired.
Quantrills method Of determination
Is best given in his own words in an
interview with the Confederate secre-
tary OF war. He was asked what he
would do we're he given his power and
opportunity, and what disposition he
would make Of prisoners. The guer-
rilla's eyes blazed as he exclaimed:
There would be no prisoners. Do
they take any prisoners from me2
Surrounded. do surrender? No. Sur
prised, I do not give way TO panic.
Outnumbered. rely upon common
sense and stubborn fighting; hunted,
I hunt my hunters in turn. Hated
and made blacker than dozen devils.
I add to my hoofs the swiftness Of
the horse, and to my horns the terrors

be laid to waste at once. Meet the

QuantriII Killed Prisoners, Women and
Children i'm Periods of Fierce Anger

First and last, during the time that
Henry PIummer. bandit chieftain,
dominated what Is now Montana In
the early sixties, there were probably
$50 men associated with him, accord
ing to the estimate of X. Beidler, who
knew as much Of the inside workings
of the Plummer organization as any
man i'm the territory outside its pale.
Many Of these men had served under
william Clark QuantrfIl, In BLEEDING
Kansas" about the time Of the be-
ginning Of the Civil war, and left that
guerrilla chieftain when they learned
Of the rich gold strikes in Bannack
and Alder gulch, because Of the fatter
pickings 10 be had in these parts.
Graduates Of the school of this mas
ter marauder they fitted into the de-
signs Of PIummer as the hand does
into the glove. Here Is a story OF
QuantriII by z. A. BrininstooI.
william Clark Quantrill (erroneous-
ly spelled @Quantrell"), alias Charley
Hart, the most noted bushwhacker,
guerrilla and wholesale murderer the
American frontier ever produced, was
born In Canal Dover, o., in 1887. His
father was principal Of the public
schools there. He was religious man,
hence young Quantrin enjoyed splen-
did educational advantages, as well as
strict religious training.
William e. Connelley, secretary OF
the Kansas Historical society and one
of the most noted historians Of the
west, who wrote Quantrilps life story
and is probably better acquainted with
his career than any other writer, says
of him:
@AIl the evidence shows that GUAM
trin was a cruel and unnatural child;
that he was a degenerate and Grim
ina1 from childhood from choice.
There is not a single redeeming ac-
ton to his credit in Kansas nor IN
any other place. His sacking Of Law
renee and murder Of near 200 persons,
constitutes the blacklist crime ever re-
corded in American history"
Swears Vengeance
Passing over QuantriIIs boyhood we
find that in 1860 he and his brother
were attacked by Jayhawkers and his
brother was killed For this, young
Quantrin swore vengeance. An officer
of the Eleventh Kansas cavalry asserts
that the guerrilla chief had but one
redeeming feature-he never drank,
but that the devil In the man was
responsible for his atrocious acts,
many Of which would cause the most
bloodthirsty Apache TO blush for his
reputation for cruelty.
When Quantrill organized his guer-
riIla band, during the Civil war. he
had 600 men enlisted under his black
flag-a band OF as cruel and blood
thirsty q set OF human devils as could
be found In the world-far more dan

State Youth Participates
In Allied Raid Upon Maxim

As a member OF the United States
Marine raiders who annihilated a
japanese force on Maxim Island in the
Gilbert group. Vernon Q. Akers. well
known Butte boy, put 70 good use the
commando tactics he had learned in
long days OF training Cor hit and run
action against the enemy.
So far as is known, Vernon, who IS
the son Of Jesse L. Akers, veteran Of
World war 1, and Mrs. George Akers,
Butte artist, was the only Montana
boy among the picked outfit Of
superior fighting men who wiped out
a garrison Of approximately 800 jap
anese on Maxim, destroyed three
enemy wireless stations and a large
amount OF supplies. two naval craft,
two seaplanes and other valuable
enemy installations In a two-day
action beginning Aug. II.
The Maxim action was the first in
which the Leatherneck commands
saw action in the present war The
force Is made up entirely Of volunteers
chosen on their records in other
branches OF the Marine corps. and
Akers. a radio-man. has been con-
nected with 1t since its establishment.
Several months ago, while he was
being trained for his role in the super
mobile and super-streamlined unit,
Vernon wrote to his parents as fol-
lows:
we viii hike today. and we leave
here at eight in the morning for an
other all-day and all-night hike. It
is a rugged life, but then 1t is lot
easier getting into condition than it
would be having the Japs put us into
condition chasing us because we
hadn't been trained.
Il really like 1t here with this bunch
of men. No fooling, I'd walk on the
stumps of my legs to stay with them.
Guess what am going to eat all
day tomorrow? A handful Of rice, two
carrots, one onion and two strips Of
bacon. That, by the way. Is one days
ration for us on the march. 1t Is 10 get
us used to what to do, and how to get
along on a little. The rest Of the time
we are fed like kings"
Not only were the Marine COM
mandos trained 10 subsist on very little
food, but they were also trained in
Jungle warfare, trained TO be tough, |
TO meet any emergency as evidenced |
by another letter in which Vernon
stated:
II can sink steel blade at 20 PAGES |
two inches into a tree four out Of |
five throws. I have q good knife. too.
| Just about ruined it learning. but I |
seemed to catch the knack. Now I can

men are good knife men,"

that the best sections we're already
taken, and the squatter had the first
right to them, and was quite ready TO
fight for their retention.
BY this time, there arose another
question. The lands sold at auction
were undoubtedly the best; then came
the private sales, leaving the worst
for those who were unable to avail
themselves of either Of the foregoing.
Was it not an injustice that as high a
price should be asked for the worst
as for the better land2
Again, the distribution Of the money
from the sales was a cause Of trouble.
Henry Clay thought this money should
go to the states as whole. but not so
Jackson, although he admitted that
"the speedy settlement of these lands
constitutes the true interest Of the Re-
public, ;" as he phrased it. with the add
ed political stunt of flattering the
farmers.

law under Tyler, in 1871, 10 percent OF
the price Of lands sold was to 60 to
the states where the sales took place,
the remainder to go to all the state,

Enacted Under Lincoln
The Homestead law was enacted
under president Lincoln, and the first
homestead entry made Jan. 1, 1868.
With it's terms, we are all reasonably
familiar, and to it many owe their
homes in Montana. After it was in OPP
Grafton, the Presumption law was
still in force.
But what has all this to do with
Montana history" 1t may be asked;
and the reply should be. Everything. "
For without this land hunger, and the
ability to satisfy it, there would have
been no Montana for another half
century, or longer. The miners did not
come here to make homes for them
selves, and only with the arrival Of
the actual settlers were the founda-
tons Of the state laid. Jackson was

brother. Frank. were there with the
Quantrill band on that black day, and
that they maintained that between
them they killed 65 persons and
wounded 20 more. Other writer's as
sert that Jesse was not there, but
that Frank James took a terrible ton
Of life. which is probably true. The
Lawrence massacre was simply the
working out of one Of QuantriIls
thirsts for blood and revenge.
killing Of QuantriIl
A month or so after the close of
the Civil war Quantrill and several
Of his men were located by Federal
soldiers hiding In q barn near Bloom
field, KY. In attempting 10 escape.
the guerrilla leader was shot, sustain
ing paralysis of the spine He was
removed to the military prison at
Louisville, where he died a few weeks
later.
The remainder Of the Quantrin
band lived In constant terror Of their
lives after their leaders death. To
this day the name Of Quantrill Is
mentioned with loathing and con-
tempt. Confederates as well as Federal
soldiers despised their methods Of
fighting. Many a border murder IN
after years was the direct result Of
the hatred born in those wild days on
the border.
