f INDIANS SUGGEST PUTTING BUFFALO IN GLACIER PARK CONGRESS WILL BE AHKEI> TO AU) BLACKFEET TO GET THE SURPLUS OF ANIMALS Judge Hull Calf of Hlackfeet Tribe Says His People Long to See The Animals Bark In Their Native Gralng Grounds. Uncle Sam will be asked to transfer to the native grazing ground of the American buffalo, in the Two Medicine and Citibank valleys, now a part of the Glacier National Park, some of the sur plus herds which have multiplied so rapidly in Yellowstone park, and the other government re serves that pastures there are no longer adequate for their main tenance. these animals were given away to the Canadian government and now the Blackfoet Indians tliink they are entitled to as much con sideration as the foreigners. During a recent visit to Glacier park, the attention of Dr. L. Web ster Fox of Philadelphia, was direct ed by Judge Bull Calf, of the Indian reservation police court to thous ands of acres ot the finest grazing grass which he said annually is go ing to waste because there Is nothing there to eat It. "When I was a hoy, these valleys were the natural feeding places for the wild buffalo." Judge Bull Calf told the celebrated doctor. "It Is true, my people, along with many other tribes of Indians and white hunters, killed them all off. But we are now lonesome for these animals and want to see them back on our ranges. They, of course, will be pro tected this time, like all the animals ot the Glacier park preserve. But we'll be happy Just to have 'em to look at." ■ast month some of Dr. Fox, impressed by the Indian judge's appeal has taken the mat ter up officially through congression al representatives and the subject is to be brought before the congres sional committee on Indian affairs. "These valleys to which we hope to have the government send some of the buffalo from the surplus herds, were In the early days the greatest natural grazing spots for buffalo on the American continent." he declared, "and they certainly look just as inviting today. There always is ample rainfall there and never has there been a year that the grass has not grown green in these scenic op enings of the main Rocky mountain range. 1 am sure here Is an op portunity for Uncle Sam to perform an appropriate act ot kindness that will be appreciated by the 3,000 members of the Blackfeet Indian tribe. And, It certainly will be a humane act for the buffalo them selves." ROOSEVELT YOUTH WILL HAVE HOGS IN TON LITTER CLASS OOSEVELT county, through Us pig club, is developing some genuine hog growers, as Indi cated from the observations and re ports recently made by some of the boys whose pigs were a few days ago inspected and judged. It Is possible that some of these boys will have pigs that will come up to the ton litter class at the expiration ot 180 days, which is the time limit. Eldon Picard, who lives north of Balnville, and Cecil Nordraan, living east of Froid, have litters that un doubtedly will be In this class. The latter boy has a registered Duroc sow with 11 pigs almost four months old, with a gain of a pound a day up to that age, and with a re cord of all teed that has been con sumed. He Is one of the outstand ing boys In the club and the results of his project would be hard to dup licate by any experienced breeder. Eldon Picard is 12 years old and In addition to his successfully rais ing 10 hogs from his litter, has been In charge of and the manager of 74 other hogs on his father's farm. El don takes care of those 84 hogs, wa ters, feeds the best of rations, has a five-acre sweet clover pasture and keeps a record on his production, all of which is necessary In successfully raising hogs. In addition to taking care of those 84 hogs he Is the corn farmer for his father and cultivates practi cally all of his father's corn acre age. While he Is raising grade hogs this year, he is much interested In his project and states that next year he is going to Increase the quality of his hogs and la assisting his father In keeping over a good supply of breeding stock. Other boys who are In the pig club In the east end of the county, but who did not have as large litters as those two boys, but deserve much credit for the manner In which they have been conducting their projects are: Donald Hordman, Melvin Han son, Albert L. Smith, Deltnar Leeson, Loren Plercy, Ejenr Olson and Ralph Bjorgo.

Judge Lynch was supreme and his rulings arbitrarv. 'Ihere was no appeal from his decision and woe be to him whom he pronounced against. The citizens who took the law into their hands in those days were known as vigilantes, and, far from being composed of cut-j throats, were generally the fore-1 most citizens and the most stantial men of the new country, The road agents, cattle rustlers and sluice-box thieves of the early days made the vigilante a necessity. The newness of the country and the lack of jail and prison facilities made their mode of procedure nec-, j essary in many instances. military commands of some of the original thirteen colonies marched past tho structure down Chestnut XT i , .

The work necessitated the use of 25,000 pounds of specially prepared dyna mite. A Like a geyser, the lake waters shot hundreds of feet in the air, says one spectator. There was a roar of many thunders reverberating down the canyon. Then, there roomed Into the air a vast shower of rooks and mud which sent scattering such of the beholders who had failed to seek safety higher up In the moun tains. Water Rushes Down Tunnel. With the recession ot the explos ive force, the waters of the lake turned to a great maelstrom—a pH—and then rushed together again in tidal waves of from six to eight feet In height, that rolled In and pounded and swept the shores. All this within the space of a few seconds. Then the waters started to rush down tha tunnel built with two years ot labor and the expenditure of $2. 000,000. They will rush and tumble and roar on until the level of the lake Is reduced forty feet, at which time the level of the tunnel will have been reached, and the engineers will be able to build the bulkheads and other devices of hydro-engineering to control the flow. After that the level of the lake Is expected to rise forty-five feet. Meanwhile, through the tunnel and tho unfinished waterways of the I Had Montana been provided with a penitentiary and Ueu l . upc conn ly with a jail, "Big Johnson, a | butcher of Blackfoot u ity, might now be living although it is hardly likely that he would Mill he plying lus trade as a cattle rustler.

Suspicion pointed strongly to "Big" Johnson who conducted a butcher shop in that booming town. Johnson sold much beef and made plenty of mon ey for the knights 01 the gum boot , as the early placer miners called themselves, were great meat eaters. So Johnson .lid a thriving admitted to the rosier of the corn pany.

Great Column Heave« First. The carload of dynamite placed where it would tear out the last re maining rock and make a new out let for the waters, conecting the lake with the six-foot tunnel which Is to be the future outlet of the lake, was electrically exploded. A push of the button and a great column of water arose several hudred feet In to the air, followed Immediately by all the other phenomea of tho ex plosion. The blast was successful In every detail, from an engineering point of view and marks tho comple tion of the flrrt step In an englneeer ing feat which has been duplicated only twice In tho history of such op erations. The level of the lake at once com menced to recede. From the out let of the 1,000-foot tunnel, a pipe will carry the wafer for 9,000 feet down tho side of the mountain with about a four-per cent drop. At the terminus of this steel pipe with al most a sheer drop of 1,100 feet will take, the water to the power plant. The Incline tram railway which as cends the side of the mountain for 1,100 feet at a forty-f<ve per cent grade, proved an Interesting feature to visitors at the scene. Another short rail line skirts the lake 1,000 feet above the water for two miles, the grades having ben hewn from solid rock. The condpany expects to have this new plant In full operation shortly after the first ot the year. business, but nobod v cut heard of his ever buying any beef cattle, and the question of where he obtained the meat naturally arose in the minds of many. Suspicion was strongly against Johnson, and the cattle owners of the sect i on had kq.t a "weather eye " open f or him for many m0 nths. but he was not caught "dead to rights" until early in thel spring of - 66> when two residents of Deer Lodge came across him driving a couple of steers towards Blackfoot City. There was nothing strange about t hi s cither, for men might be seen here an j there about the country doing die same thing, but in [olm sons case jt was different for his reputation as a cattle rustler had spread about the country, The tw0 m linking he was maki awav with cattlc not his 0WI)i arresU ,,j him and took him , 0 Dcer Lodgc wherc he was placed in the c „ st0 § y ()f Frcd K urr . the first sheriff of the county, and he was confined in a log cabin on North Main street, chained to a ring in the floor 'Bud two guards placed over him. For a week Johnson remained in evident chains when It became something; must be done. Montana had no penitentiary at that time, the county was new and without a jail, and tha cabin thus occupied by Johnson had been leased at a high rental. There was no money in the county treasury and the treasurer was in the east. That Johnson was guilty of cat tle stealing there was not the least doubt, but it would have cost Deer Lodge county between $3,000 and $4,000 to have tried, convicted and transported him to the nearest pen itentiary in the east. It would I have been necessary for the county to borrow the money to conduct the prosecution. Still he was in the hands of the law and the sheriff had no authority to turn him loose. Besides, it was argued, it would not be right to turn such a man loose and drive him into some oth er community or slate or terri tory to carry on his crooked prac tices. It was clearly evident that it would not do to set him free; to give him a trial would be too ex pensive, and to keep him chained to the cabin floor and under guard for any definite period was like wise out of the question. His dis position became a serious matter to | the officers of the law. They could not set him free ; neither could they hang him. After the matter had been con sidered in all its phases for several j days someone suggested a vigilance i committee and one was immediate ly organized which took Johnson to a slaughter house on the bank of the Deer Lodge river, near where now stands the state prison, and hanged him from the beam from which the butchers had been in the habit of hanging their beeves to dress. Johnson was a brave man and died game. This was the second and last hanging performed by the vigil antes in Deer Lodge county, the first having been Bill Bunton, a member of a road agent gang, who had been hanged to the cross-beam of Louie Denier's slaughter house in the winter of 1863-4.
