Montana Memories
BY IDA S. PATTERSON

The Reds, were entrenched on
the bluffs above the river. On the
other side of it, to their rear, stood
the Indian camp where the dead and
wounded were conveyed. Heading
behind rocks and pine trees, these
Indians with a reputation as the
straightest shooting Redskins ever
known, gave their enemies lively
time.
About six hundred yards away,
almost completely surrounded by
their foes, Towards soldiers lay in
a large semicircle on sun-parched
plain protected only by hastily
thrown up earthern breastworks.
BY afternoon of the second day,
a supply train from Lapwai escorted
by Captain Jackson's cavalry troops,
came to the aid of Towards army.
The Indians were routed and re-
treated across the river. Hastily,
they moved their camp far back on
the Kamiah trail.
The soldiers, among whom was
my husband, posted the abandoned
camp. Inspecting it they found only
a few dead warriors but there were
many dead horses. In the rush of
withdrawal the Nez Perces had
overlooked their companions, but
unable to drive many of the sore
footed and wounded horses they

Battle of Bears Paw

They passed through Yellowstone
park, came out near the present site
of Laurel. Continuing northward
they went on until they reached
the Bears Paw mountains. Here,
General Miles, who had been in
formed of Joseph's whereabouts by
telegraph, surrounded them, and
after four days of heroic fighting
Chief Joseph surrended. Some of his
people escaped into Canada, but
Chief Joseph remained with his de-
feated band.
An interesting incident, which
took place during the Nez Perez
war, was related to me by my first
husband, Thomas Waymack. He was
at that time, a soldier under Cen
era1 Towards command.
Previous to the battle of the Big
Hole there had been a fierce en-
counter between the Nez Perces
and General Towards blue-clad
army on the banks of the Clearwater
river in Idaho territory. (Red-fox
and his braves were few of the
fleeing Indians.)

BATTLE OF BIG HORN

In THE MEANTIME, General
Howard, who was slowly and eau
tiously pursuing the Nez Perces,
wired Colonel Gibbon, commander
of the Montana district, to order his
troops into the field.
Gibbon, who was then at Fort
Shaw, summoned all available troops
from Fort Benton, Camp Baker and
Fort Shaw. Assuming personal COM
mand, he fastened toward Fort Mis-
soula, arriving there Aug. 8. Rein
forced by one company from Fort
Ellis and Rawn's small garrison, he
set out the next day in pursuit of
Joseph. A wagon train accompanied
the troops.
Early on the morning of Aug. 9,
Colonel Gibbons men surprised the
Nez Perez encampment in the Big
Hole. Their first attack drove the
Indians from camp, but they soon
rallied and a fierce battle ensued.
This time, the soldiers were forced
to retreat, after which the Indians
broke camp and hurried on south by
east.

On hillsides, on hard-packed land, in soft
spots or on turf-no matter where you
drive your tractor, you'll find that the new
B. F. Goodrich tires with Power Curve cleats
give you more traction than you ever had
before. These tires have the open-center
tread with cleats higher in the center than
those of the other two leading makes. Cleats

Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1950-10-13

When you th1cken gravy with
flour, you can avoid lumpiness by
mixing little cornstarch with the
flour.
Self : thickening gravy can be
made by using the water in which
rice has been cooked. A lot of food
value, cooked out OF the rice, is in
the water, thus providing added
nourishment.
To clean the vertical tube of a
percolator, run a pipe cleaner
through it. Or, fill the percolator
with water, add four tablespoon
fuls of salt, put the tube in and let
it perk for ten of fifteen minutes.
If this dulls the luster of the perco-
lator, restore it by boiling vinegar
in it, or water with pieces of raw
lemon.
Small holes in the bottom of an
aluminium pot can be mended at
home. Buy some small copper or
aluminium rivets, one-sixteenth of
an inch in diameter and one-eighth
of an inch long. Enlarge the hole
so you can force the rivet through
from the inside; then rest the head
of the rivet on some hard metal
surface and tap the other end with
a hammer until it flattens out and
tightens up in the hole.
The inside of an enameled pot
can be whitened by putting half
cup of laundry bleach in it, filling
it the rest of the way with water
and letting it stand for twenty-four

When such foods as cereals and
rice stick to the inside of the top
part of a double boiler, turn the pot
upside down in piping hot dish
water for a few minutes so that
the steam can loosen the stuff in
side.
The name, "Journeyman Paint
err" comes from the painters who,
at the time of the Renaissance,
journeyed from country to coun-
try with their brushes, palettes,
and secretly blended paints. In
today's parlance, a journeyman
painter is one who has had at
least three years experience and
schooling as an apprentice.
To add to the eye appeal of
gravy when it isn't brown enough,
add little leftover coffee.

Seven Prisoners
Are Captured
In Escape Try

MIAMI, Jan. 23.-riP.-seyep
prisoners at Dade County's Sky
scraper jail came very near es-
Gaping last night. Four men slug
ged a guard and look every key
except the che which would
have opened the door to freedom.
With the keys obtained, the
quartet opened cell doors and
invited $50 other prisoners to
join them. Only three responded,
The seven worked their way
to the door on the 10Th floor and
were stymied When they found
they didn't have the one key
needed, they roamed around for
20 minutes and then gave up.
Sheriff Jimmy Sullivan said
the prisoners used weapons
left behind by painters. He
wouldn't say what the weapons
were, but said Deputy Russell
Simms and Negro trusty James
Gilchrist were attacked as they
went up to place the prisoners
in their cells for the night.
For years, Dade County's Jail,
in Miami, was touted as s'escape-
proof" Then one day in March
of last year, Clyde Milton john
son, a bank robber, walked out.
He was later recaptured.
