SET FOR STATES
FISHING SEASON
But DATES ARE TENTATIVE AND
WILL BE SUBMITTED TO
STATE SPORTSMEN

The Montana fish and game COM
mission tentatively has set the 1912
fishing season at May 24-Nov. is. in
elusive. and readopted creel limits in
effect last year
DR.. j. w. Severy, chairman, said the
commissions action would be submit
ted, along with proposed regulations
affecting individual counties. to sports
mems groups for discussion and ap-
proval. Final action was to be taken
at the commissions April meeting.
Under regulations approved by the
commission, the open season on game
fish generally would run from May "a
to Nov. Is, and be closed from Nov.
l6 to May %, 1913. Fishing hours were

The creel limit on game fish was set
at Is fish or Is pounds and one fish,
not more than five Of which could be

Brinton Family Fights Again;
Has NeUer Missed q Major War

The Brinton family Of Butte, direct
antecedents of which have fought in
every major war since the late c. P.
Brinton and Stephen Bryant fought
In the Civil war, is "cn the march
again."
And proud of everyone is Mrs. c. P.
Brinton, wife Of Mr.. Brinton, who
served in the Civil war, and the daugh-
ter Of Mr.. Bryant. She has seen at
least one member Of her household
march away to the three major wars
| that followed the Civil struggle be-
tween the states-the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, the World war and now the
present one.
Two of her sons served in the
| Spanish-American war, Wilbur B. and
Charles c. Brinton, members of her
| family revealed. Both of these brothers
served their country in the World war
also.
Capt. Wilbur B. Brinton was one
| of three brothers who were captains
in various branches of the armed
services during the conflict with Ger
many, believed to be national record
for brothers in one family. The others
who were captains were Capt. Benja-
min B. Brinton, who served with the
1llth division. and the late Capt Owen
B. Brinton of the engineers.
Charles Brinton, now manager of the
electric service department for Wes-
tinghouse Electric Co. at Pittsburgh,
Pa, was engaged during the last war
as an expert for the government in
making shells.
During the present war, William
Brinton, son of Capt. Benjamin Brin-
ton, is serving in the United States
navy air corps, while another grand
son of Mrs. Brinton William E. Bar
raugh Jr., of Butte. is expecting to
enter the armed services soon. He is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. William E.
Barraugh of the Panama Canal Zone.
The Brinton family moved to Butte
about 1895 and a short time later
moved to Salt Lake City where Brin-
ton installed the street electric sys-
tenn. He was mainly instrumental in
the construction of a similar system
in Butte.
One of the sons. the late Capt. Owen
Brinton, was widely known as a mine
engineer. In addition to mine work ir
several counties, he drove" the diver.
sion tunnels at Fort Peck and was or
his way to Texas several years age
when he died.
I One of Mrs. Brinton's most priced
possessions is a small pocket Bible. II
was carried by her husband through
out the Civil war and contains the
birthdate of the Brinton children. II
was issued in 1851.
The Brinton home was originally In
Westchester county, Pennsylvania
Friends said that nine generations Of
Brintons have lived In the old family

scene of huge family reunion. About

ageous.
When he killed an enemy, he an
nounced the fact in loud voice that
would call attention of others to the
fact. at the same time counting a
coup" as he struck the body Of his
foe. He had not evolved the plan COM
mon to frontiersmen of notching theil
revolvers, even when he had one.
The Indian scalped his enemy, not
altogether because he was brutal, but
that when he recounted his deeds Of
bravery, he could exhibit the proof OF
his assertion. He could also call wit
nesses to his having counted coup. He
did not wish to be considered boast
er. Great was the remard of the victor
on his return to camp. He was ap-
plauded as a hero, given an "honol
name" and could henceforth wear
eagles feathers, that were the laurel
wreath Of the red man-his badge Of
courage.
After battle, when the Indians
approached their village or camp, they
dressed themselves in their war ap-
parel, in order to make a spectacular
entry, and then rode in at furious
gait. as if charging an enemy. and
circling the camp recounted the story
of the battle. and chanted their song
of victory. No one, from any false
modesty, hesitated to give himself full
credit for his part in the encounter
the bloody scalps he carried bearing
out his statements.
Captured enemies were either used
for the red mems lynching bee or were
enslaved. Sacajawea was a slave, yet
we are assured it in no way affected
her social standing. Unlike slavery as it
existed among the white men of this
country, the child of an Indian slave,
did not necessarily become a slave. The
torture of captives was horrible, it
must be admitted, but there was no
hypocrisy about it, nor was it under
taken to the accompaniment of hymns
There was singing. it is true, on such

occasions, but the words, II any, were
strictly pagan.
Not only for bravery in battle was
an Indian rewarded by gaining new
name. Overcoming dangerous wild ami
mails, met with the same reward. When
an Indian killed grizzly bear, he took
the formidable claws. instead OF its
scalp. and enough of these made a
necklace that meant more than the
possession Of the rarest Jewels. both to
the wearer and to others.
Smoking. with the Indians, was a
ceremonial, rather than a pleasure. 1t
surely could not be classed as pleas
ant experience by the white men who
shared the Indians tobacco. A few
tribes raised tobacco, but of a poor
quality. They generally smoked the in
side bark Of the red willow or the
dried leaves of the bear berry, and it
was said to have villainous taste.
This is true of the tobacco of the
western Indians. The eastern tribes
may have had better kind, or Sir
Walter Raleigh would not have been
likely to contract the habit.
Many Of the sacred pipes were made
Of obsidain. Some Of this was obtained
in Yellowstone park This was an in
ferno to the red man. and a great
amount Of courage was needed by the
Indian who entered it. An Indian fav-

camp in order. These men were not
paid for their services. They we're
members of a secret organization of
a religious nature. and as such their
commands were obeyed, unquestion-
ingly.
Their medicine men and women
ministered to their physical and spir-
itual ailments. They were both re-
spected and feared. By the use Of
baths and simple herbs. they were sup
posed to. and often did, cure illness,
and through lamentations and vast
amount of noise put to flight evil
spirits they claimed tormented their
patients. His was a power as great.

AS a votary offering. or to gain
supernatural aid. the medicine lodge
was set up Time and labor were re-
quired for its construction: and when
1t was completed. ceremonious observ-
ances were carried on inside its SCREEN
ing walls. When it was abandoned,
there often hung within it, gifts to the
dieties. These offerings were respected
by other tribes. To take them would
have been robbing the gods. whose
vengeance Is always to be feared. Even
the rare and coveted hide Of the white
buffalo was safely left within the medi-
cine lodge.
Indian society was not altogether
communistic, but none went hungry, if
there was food for any. When the
hunters returned with game, they
dropped pieces to the old, or those
unable to join the hunt, but who had
crawled without the camp to await
their coming. Anyone was at liberty
to ask for the meat, and frequently

Mr.. Scott left the university

Soviet Russia, and his father
advised him to learn trade if
he inteded to go there. He be-
came a welder, pocketed his
trade union card, and went to
Russia. In Moscow he bounced
back and forth between various
bureaus for ten days, and then
began the four-day train trip to
MAJ litogorsk, east of the Urals.
For five years he wor e d

longer but for the purge of 1887

for foreigners. He had married
a Russian girl who was certain
that her husband came from a

she saw New York in 194l, was
