OLD TIMES ON THE RIVER.
CsMato Marsh Teds of tbe Coidot Winter He
HiKrhtwd on tils MISMMH.
a rtcint interview with Captain
Marsh, who is- spending his "winter at
Bismarck and Washburn, he says to
The Washburn Leader:
"Speaking of hard winters recalls
the hard winter season of 1880 which
I spent in this section of the country.
During the summer, Lieutenant Greely,
of the Fifth Cavalry, (who is now Gen
eral. (freely, head of the department of
the weather bureau at Washington, D.
C) put up the military telegraph line
from Bismarck north on the Missouri
and Yellowstone River. My steamer,
F. Y. Bachelor, wa9 at the mouth hf
the Yellowstone River on the fourth
day of November, 1889 we were seized
there by the order of General Terry, of
St. Paul, who commanded the depart
ment. Captain Kendrick, with a com
pany of soldiers, was put on board to
go to the relief of Lieutenant Kisslen
berry of the Eleventh Infantry, who
was at the mouth of the Mussel Shell
River with some soldiers and Crow In
dian scouts and was surrounded by
the Sioux.
As we did not expect to return, we
took supplies for the winter. We
arrived at Mussel Shell on Nov.
The next time the soldiers visited
us—I accompanied them to Bitfonl.
The eleven men were left in the fort,
well supplied with Winchesters and
ammunition. I left Fort Buford for
Bismarck in a mail wagon—on Dec.
In the spring when the river broke
up, the Ice was very thick, it would
gorge in the bed of the river and the
river would run over points. It sunk
the steamer Western at Fountanellfe
and the high water carried the steafner
Josephine, Rosebud, General Meade
and Peninah out over the bank at Yank
ton. Some of them were over a mile
from the river when the water fell, but
were all put back again. The steam
ers Black Hills, Butte and Big Horn
were 011 the ways at Yankton on top
of the bank and were badly damaged by
thfe ice. Capt. Chas. W. Blunt, now of
Bismarck, had charge of these boats
during the winter.
When we started down the river in
the spring in the steamer F. Y. Batchel
lor, it took six days coming from Bu
ford, and our boat was loaded with
furs, the most valuable cargo ever
brought down the Missouri River.
They were insured' for $100,000, and1
were consigned to P. H. Kelly at St.
Paul from Leighton. & Jordan—post
traders at Fort Buford. Tom and Sut
Winston were then post tracers
"at Fort
Stevehson." V,

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafhess is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed{ deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever nine cases out of ten are caused by
batyrrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous ser

Lieutenant Kisslenberry's forces had
driven the Sioux off and killed some
of them. We supplied the forces with
provisions and they started for Fort
Custer at the mouth of the Little Big
Horn River, where they belonged. The
following day, Nov. 13, we started on
our return to Buford both Nov. 13 and
14 were calm, fine weather. On the
evening of Nov. 15, about 4 o'clock,
it began snowing and we landed at a
point nearly opposite Milk River, Mont.,
for the night. During the night it turn
ed bitterly cold, and the next morning
the river was frozen s»lid. We sent
an Indian scout io Buford and reported
Our situation. They sent transportation
from that point, and took the soldiers
and part of the crew away. Myself and
eleven men stayed near the boat which
we abandoned after building our so
called "fort" on the river, into which
we moved our supplies and portable
property.

The thermometer stood 16 degrees be
low when we left and when we arrived
at Bismarck it was 35 below and had
snowed hard during the entire trip.
At that time there were but two
families west of Bismarck, Mercer s
at Painted Woods and Merry's at Tiu
tie Creek.
The Indians were very bad that
winter and gave the men at the fort
a great deal of trouble. That was tin
coldest winter and we had the most
snow of any winter of my experience •.

AN ENEMY TO THE WHALES.
Strang* Creature Said to exist IN Aiukcn
Water*.
Forest and Stream: While operating
a fishery on Admiralty island, Alaska,
last summer, my attentipn and the at
tention of the fishing crew was almost
daily attracted to a large marine crefture
th^t would appear in the main channel
of Seymour canal and our immediate
vicinity.
There are large numbers of whales
of the species rorqual there, -and- the
monster seemed to be tlieir natural ene
my. The whales generally travel in
schools, and while at the surface to blow
one would be singled out and. attacked
by the fish, and a battle was soon in or
der.
It is the nature of the rorqual to
make three blows at intervals of from
two to three minutes each, and then
sound deep and stay beneath the surface
fof thirty, or forty minutes.
As a whale would come to the surface,
there would always appear at the whale's
right side and just about wherp his head
.would connect with the body, a great,
long tail or fin, ''judged by five fisher
men and a number of Indians after see
ing it about fifteen times at various dis
tances'* to be about twenty-four feet
long, two and one-half feet wide at the
end, and tapering down to the water,
vhere it seemed to be about eighteen
inches in diameter, looking very much
like the blade of the fn of an old fash
ioned Dutch windmill.
This great club was used on the back
of the unfortunate whale in such a man
ner that it was a wonder to me that
every whale attacked was not instantly
killed. Its operator seemed to have per
fect control of his movements and would
bend it back until the end would" touch
the water, forming a horse-shoe loop,
then with a "sweep it would be straight
ened and brought oyer and down with a
whack that could be heard for several
miles. If the whale was fortunate
'fcnough to submerge his body before the
blows came, the spray would fly for a
distance of one hundred feet from the
effect of the strike, maki,ng a noise as
loud as a yacht's signal guh,
•J. What setfmed most remarkable, to me
as that no matter which way, the, at-.
