terry. arrangements were in
charge CT the Beck Funer
,, Home.
Duckhead through his lifetime
was highly esteemed for his
fine courage and other manly
qualities.
He was one of several out.
stending figures in early days
who brought to an end the trans
gressions of the notorious Curry
gang, which operated as road
agents" and train robbers in
Montana.
The gangs undoing came fol-
lowing the hold-up of a Great
Northern train. Equipped with
an outfit of the best of saddle
horses, they made their way
through this section.
Camping in the vicinity of Two
Medicine one night, a posse in
GLIDING Duckhead and several
other Blackfeet and federal
agents suddenly bounced upon
them. Earlier that morning the
posse had, unbeknown to them,
deprived them of their horses
a piece Of Blackfeet war STRAIT
egy.
A gun battle ensued in which
one of the posse was instantly
killed. Duckhead suffered a bull
let wound through his arms and
chest, which somewhat incapaci-
tated him during the years fol-
lowing.
Some of the Curry gang were
killed in the battle, with others
managing to escape for a time.
However, the Two Medicine bat
tie was the gangs liquidation.
Those who escaped were soon
caught up with and dealt with
under the stern law of the early

WarDeclared
Public Relations Release

On April 81, 1947 at 9 p. M
Mountain Standard Time, the
Browning High Command, ir
conjunction with the arr e
forces of their ally, Cut Bank,
officially declared that state Of
war existed between them and
the invading armies of Herr
Crow and "Nagasaki" Magpie.
Generals of the Army, Burke
Handy and Russ Loveness of
Browning and Cut Bank Rod and
Gun Club respectively, at a meet
ing of their joint stats decided
upon the following plans Of &C.
ton for their current campaign;
Propaganda would be distrib.
uted by the local press, under
cover agents, and by word Of
mouth, to build up the interest
of the local citizens, and to in.
crease the Volunteer Army to a
point which would eliminate the
necessity of drafting completely
unframed personnel.
Following t h is propaganda
campaign, the assembled armies
of the allies would take to the
field in the first major battle of
World War % on the morning of
May 10, 1947, in the vicinity OF
Browning, Montana.
Present plans call for the CON-
pletion of this skirmish by SUM-
set of that day, and wit h u
doubt, ending in complete vic
tory for the Allies.
Allied strategy has p | a c e d
phenomenal awards to be given
to those soldiers who annihilate
the most enemy; namely, three
boxes of shotgun shells for the
one who brings in the most heads
of Crows during the one day
skirmish, two boxes for the sec.
ond best and one for third best.
The same will be duplicated
regarding the Nagasaki Army.
The Generals of the A r m y,
themselves, will be the judges in
this matter, and will present the
awards at dinner to be held ir
the Yegen Cafe following the
battle.
This is a confidential report
based on the files of the Fedora
Bureau of Instigation.

LocalCerneteries
Are Desecrated:
Done By Chouls

DVuC 10y u4UulS
Damaged and desecrated to the
extent that the property t III S
years Memorial Day will be I'M
able to express our full devotion
to our respected dead, both the
Catholic and City Cemeteries
near Browning loom as unsightly
memorials to human indecency
of a certain element living on
Moccasin Flat near by.
Their attitude towards these
hallowed grounds has been grow
ing more disrespectful for the
last several years in counter to
individual and community effort
to enchrine them.
It remained for last winters
fuel problem to give these near
ghouls full encouragement.
What they did during the win
ter and what they are still doing
should stir the community of
Browning and elsewhere on the
Blackfeet Reservation into stern
and immediate action.
Up until last fall there were
fences around the cemeteries.
Now they have all but disap-
peared.
This Moccasin Flat element
since then have chopped down
nearly every post for fuel wood.
Much of the fencing was an
American Legion project con-
structed prior to World War 2.
Where loving hands and hearts
sought to mark the graves of
their departed by constructing
fences about the plots. their ef-
forts have been defeated in a
number of instances, since every
board or plank that would serve
as fuel wood has been taken.
Sacred White Crosses, symbols
of Eternal Christian Hope, on
many of the graves have either
been removed for fuel wood or
disgracefully torn from their site
and left beside the grave as if to
mock at the Christian way of
life-as if to dim the luster of a
love of a once sorrowing mother.
A visit to these cemeteries will
tell beyond these words what
that lowly Moccasin Flat element
have done.
Regardless of a fuel problem,
this Moccasin Flat element have
have been disrespectful of the
Browning cemeteries. When ef-
forts were made in other years
to beautify graves with grass,
they were defeated. At night
time cemetery gates were opened
to permit horses to roam at large.
The American Legion sought
to encourage intensive beautifica-
ton of the cemeteries by extend
ing a water line to them. The
effort was defeated. The lock
was rifled and the faucet stolen.
If this certain element of Moe.
casin Flat are permitted to con.
tinue what they have done-and
are still doing they may even
go further. They may even ran.
sack the caskets.
Already the unthinkable has
happened.
The unbelievable can come tt
pass.
