COMPILE HISTORY
OF SIOUX TRIBE
TO BE WRITTEN FROM DIARY OF
LIEUT. BRADLEY, KILLED AT
BATTLE OF BIG HOLE.
Wrote Much of Indian Legend and
Tradition; Spent Some Time at
Fort Benton and Fort Shaw; New
Volume of History.
History of the Sioux Indians, whose
defeat after the Custer massacre
broke the power of the Indians on
the North American continent, is be
ing compiled by the Montana His
torical Library from the writings of
Lieutenant James M. Bradley, who
was killed in the battle of the Big
Hole In 1877 and Mark Kellog, a war
correspondent who was slain with
Custer and his men, June 26, 1876.
Kellog's writings of Custer’s cam
paign, which are reproduced, are pub
lished with the consent of an eastern
magazine which held the copyright
and with the consent of Mrs. Custer
who lives in New York.
Purchased for S2OO
Bradley's note books were pur
chased by the state or Montana many
years ago for the sum of S2OO. His
observations are recorded to within
a few weks of his death in the clash
with Nez Perces. They deal princi
pally with the Sioux but to a lesser
extent with the Crow and Blackfeet.
His note books contained a vocabu
lary of the Assiniboine, Crow and
Sioux nations but this work under
taken by the American army officer
had not been completed by the time
How’s Your Blood?
Do You Need a Tonic?
Helena, Mont.—" Dr. Pierce's Gold
en Medical Discovery has no equal
as a blood tonic or as a liver and
stomach medicine. I was in very
bad physical condition, due to having
liver trouble and gastric stomach con
dition. My food did not digest
properly, would ferment, and gas
would form, giving me great distress.
I also suffered with severe bilious
headaches and my blood was in an
impoverished state. By the use of
the ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ I was
relieved of all these conditions which
had caused me so much trouble and
distress. My liver became active, my
food digested well, my blood was
Jood and I felt like a new man,”—
oseph A. Widmer, 307 Hoback St.

of his death and Is not reproduced be
cause of typographical difficulties.
His intimate touches in describing
and painting the Indian had the ad
vantage over most works of having
been written on the ground and in
the presence of the peoples of whom
he wrote and were recorded then
not after a lapse of years.
In one of his early chapters Brad
ley tells of the first time that a
group of Crows ever saw a mule.
They stood about in awe, he states,
gazing at the horse with long ears
and a whip-like tall until the mule
opened his mouth and began to bray
when they fled in terror thinking the
animal was preparing to devour them.
Was in Fort Shaw
Lieutenant Bradley spent much of
his time at Fort Benton and Fort
Shaw and in expeditions covered a
considerable part of the mountain
and plain territory. He refers to the
Missouri river as a “stream which
was later found to be the Missouri”
and he made entries in his note book
of dally experiences both entertain
ing and hazardous. He wrote freely
of Indian traditions, legions and his
tory as told to him by Indians of
various tribes. He studied and anal
yzed Indian religions coming to the
conclusion that Indian religious be
liefs were in many ways similar to
those of the Christian religion.
Some of Lieutenant Bradley’s writ
ings were found on his body when it
was picked up on the Big Hole battle
field.
The new publication will be known
as “Volume No. 9, Contributions,” it
being the eighth book that the Mon
tana Historical society or library as
it is now known has published.
The book contains a sketch of the
life of the late J. U. Sanders, state
librarian who died_a short time ago.
The sketch will be by David Hilger,
Montana pioneer who will succeed
Mr. Sanders as librarian on Septem
ber 1.
It also has a list of the governors
of Montana from the time of Souvolle,
appointed by the king of France, De
cember 7, 1699, to the present.

Charles O. Robinson & company re

pounds, which sold at *10.35, the
extreme top for the day— Two days

the firm, who Is very well known In
Montana, says.
Devereaux 1,000 Barrel Well

HIGH GRADE SEED
NETS BIG PROFIT
That the growing of a high grade
of seed of approved varieties is a
paying proposition has been demon
strated by sales of seed from Daniels
county, according to A. W. Warden,
county extension agent. where
common stuff will bring the market
price, pure seed will always com
mand a premium. This has been
proved by two outstanding sales of
seed from that county this year.
A. P. Smerud of Flaxville, who has
been growing Peliss Durum wheat
for several years and taking care that
it was grown under favorable con
ditions, has this year received profit
from his efforts by securing a pre
mium over highest market price on
a car load of this variety, which he
recently shipped to Dakota for seed
purposes. A number of farmers in
the Flaxville community who have
been watching Mr. Smerud’s success
with Peliss wheat have secured seed
for quite an acreage this year. It is
hoped that in a few years it will be
possible to sell a superior grade of
Durum wheat from this section.
As a result of the efforts of the
extension office, C. Monnery of Sco
bey recently shipped a car load of
N. D. R. 52 flax to a seed house in
Dakota on which he secured a price
which rewarded him for taking the
best of care of his flax. At the time
the flax was shipped, the local price
was *2.79; however, Mr. Monnery re
ceived *3.35 a bushel, giving him a
margin of 56 cents over market price
at the local station, a price which
paid him well 'for extra effort ex
pended on this field. The fact that
Mr. Monnery had any flax to sell this
spring is due entirely to his efforts
in the summer of 1922 when the flax
was endangered by grasshoppers. By
consistent efforts with the recom
mended poison bran mash a serious
loss was averted and a good crop of
flax harvested.
THE BROWMING REVIEW
WHEN FAIRWEATHER, DISCOVERER ,0F ALDER
GULCH,'WAS IN BAD WITH THE VIGILANTES
There are not many people alive in
Montana who know that when Cap
tain Joseph A. Slade was hanged in
Vlrbinia City by the Vigilantes, the
leaders of this same orgaanlzatton se
riously contemplated hanging Bill
Fairweather, the discoverer of Alder
gulch, to whose memory pioneers de
light to do honor.
Slade, as is well known, was not a
highwayman. Sober, he was a law
abiding citizen. When under the In
fluence of liquor he was a dangerous
man. He lived in the Madison val
ley and would come to Virginia City
occasionally, get drunk and shoot up
the town.
Slade Was Condemned
He was repeatedly warned, but paid
no attention to the warnings. Finally
when patience ceased to be a virtue,
the Vigilantes decided for the good
of the community, to put him out of
the way.
MAKES SACRIFICE
FOR ERRING YOUTH
HOW GREAT FALLS TEACHER
KEPT BOYS OUT OF THE
PENITENTIARY
Because she believes two Great
Falls boys, accused of having stol
en and wrecked an automobile, are
worth saving, Miss Maymie Mur.
chi, a teacher in the high school
there, has made a great sacrifice.
The boys, Thomas Lynch, 21,
and Harvey Woodahi, 20, were
charged with grand larceny in con
nection with the theft. James Car
lisle, owner of the machine, agreed
not to prosecute if its value, SI,OOO
were paid him in cash. Relatives
of the culprits did their best, but
could raise only SSOO. Then Miss
Murchi came forward with the
other SSOO. It was all she had,
but she gave it gladly.
“Those boys are worth saving, I
am sure,” Miss Murchi said when
they were released from jail. “I am
not wealthy, but I am glad to use
my little nestegg to give these boys
another chance. I am certain they
will ‘make good’ and become citizens
of whom we all will be proud.”
The two youths, their eyes filled
with tears of remorse and shame,
hung their heads while Miss Murchi
spoke, but when she concluded they
shook hands with their benefactor
and pledged themselves to good be
havior.
The boys took the Carlisle machine
following a midnight supper at a
Central avenue case and went for a
joy ride with two Great Falls girls.
The car was wrecked when it struck
a culvert five miles from Great Falls
on the Belt road. The girls, whose
identity is not known, suffered slight
injuries but the youths were un
harmed.

o
MONTANA MAN WAS HELD
BY CHINESE BANDITS
The recent kidnaping of Americans
in China have recalled to the mind of
Theodore Van der Stegen, formerly
of Great Falls, when he was a sales
man for the Great Falls Paper com
pany, of the time when he was kid
naped during the Boxer uprising in
China. Mr. Van der Stegen is now
one of the owners of the Helena Sales
company.
His father at the time was in the
diplomatic service of Belgium, sta
tioned at Shanghai. He was only six
years old when kidnaped. He was
kidnaped together with another white
child. Both, he said, were released
the following morning on payment by
the city of a ransom. He said he was
well treated when in captivity and
was given Chinese candy and sweet
meats. He said he was not in danger
and expressed the belief that the
present captives are not in danger
and will soon be released.
Mr. Van der Stegen lived in
China for 10 years. His father is
still in Shanghai and is in business
there. Mr. Van der Stegen served
as an officer with the Belgian army
during the world war.

AddreM Owner, Box Mu, Great Falls.
When this decision became known
there were protests from his friends.
Among his friends was Bill Fair
weather.
After Fairweather came into his
money, and he made about *40,000
out of his discovery claims, he be
came a nuisance. He drank all the
time, threw his money away, and
made himself obnoxious to those who,
were for law and order.
When it was- announced that the
Vigilantes had condemned Slade to
death, Fairweather was loud In his
condemnation of the proposed execu
tion. He said the Vigilantes, having
rid the country of the robbers, were
trying to run the country, and that
no man’s life was safe. With lan
guage that was more lurid than polite
he called them murdering stranglers,
and said the time had come for those
opposed to them to rise in defense of
the community.
Threatened the Vigilantes
Between talks he drank heavily and
even proposed to head a crowd of
men who would take Slade away
from the executives of the Vigilantes
and set him free.
Slade had a great many friends in
Virginia City, especially among the
gamblers and saloon men. Fair
weather found ready listeners to his
proposal. The Vigilantes found their
power and prestige threatened. A
council of the executives of the or
ganization was called. Fairweather’s
threats were reported to them in de
tail.
