Page Two Back of Mrs. Taylor's Old Mirror—How Grant, Sherman Disagreed in '73 When Mrs John Taylor took the 'back off an old mirror recently to 'dress it up for use in her home, hints of the rugged old days of Montana cattle trails unfolded from the padding behind the glass. The manufacturer had stamped •on the back of the glass the date October 20, 1873, so the old piece had been kicking around the West for 79 years. A key to the mysteries as to where the mirror might have orig inally purchased was provided in yellowed and crisp old newspapers stuffed behind the glass. They had been made the hard way, each let ter of the finest type placed in the forms by hand no typesetting ma chines in those days.

Kan sas, by Andrew Wilson.' the Kansas cattle king. Many prom- > inent stock men from Illinois and Missouri were there and the sales aggregated about $20,000. As we were led to expect, from the letter of our Mexi can correspondent, the infor mation of the capture of Loz ada has been closely followed by the news of his being shot. This is the Mexican plan of disposing of her leading spirits, but it does not seem to do much towards pacifying the country. A petition, numerously signed by the Society of Friends, of Philadelaphia. has been for warded through the War De partment to President Grant, soliciting executive clemency in behalf of Captain Jack and his band of Modocs.

He never has been a strong ad vocate of the course now pur- I sued towards them, believing l in the doctrine of first con quering and then christianiz ing them. He is in favor of a policy th^ will kill all Indians caught ofr their reservations, except when they have permission to leave in large bodies, to hunt buffalo. • The army’s Indian fighters m those days were suspicious of the work of such grand old leaders as Governor Isaack Stevens who were making peace treaties with Indian tribes of Montana territory.)

The mirror in which this news paper was preserved, measuring 26 by 60 inches, was purchased by Mrs. Taylor, about 12 years ago in Wolf Point from Stennes Hardware for $3.50. It weighs around 50 pounds. Best bet is that a salty old cattle man brought it up on the wagon with his family from Texas in the days when men were men in Mon tana.
