In. Montana ,
Away back In 1S70 , In the winter months
or perhaps In the first month of 1871.
Colonel Charles A. Uroadwatcr ot Helena ,
having In view the Immense river traffic up
the Missouri and the consequent Immense
IiroHU made through that traffic , writes a
Great Falls correspondent of the Anaconda
Standard , conceived the Idea that a line ot
Ntcamboats from the mouth of the * I'rlckly
I'car canyon or from Canyon Ferry to Great
Tails and another line of steamboats from
below the great falls of the Missouri doun
the river to St. Louis , would be a source of
great wealth and would also serve to make
Helena the distributing point of Monta.ia
ttv place of Fort Bcnton. To get around
the falls In the river at this point ho planned
to build a railway by which goods could be
portaged. At about the same time the
manager of the Northern Pacific , Henry
Vlllard , was planning to build a branch , of
that road up through the Judith basin from
a point east of Hillings. Hach man had
selected In his mind that piece of land which
Is now covered by the machine shops of the
flrcat Northern , north of the Sun river and
extending down the Missouri on Its western
bank to a point very to the present wagon
bridge at 1'lrst avenue north.
Vlllard , probably Igrorant of the Dro d-
Mattr scheme , was the first to take action.
In the spring ot 1S71 , just a little earlier
than the present month , ho sent a man up
from Helena to "squat" on the land desired
end to hold It for the railway. That man
was Jack Husacll , who Is said to ntlll reside
at Helena. In some manner his errand be
came bruited about Helena and came to
the cats of folcael Ilrcaduatcr. rearing
that he would bo thwarted In his portuge
railway proposition , the colonel lost no time
In wiring John Largcnt at Sun river that
Huhsoll was on his way toward wlut was
tl'eti the htatlon of 'Johnstown for Uie
purpose of talkng up the land north of the
continence of the Sun and Missouri rivers.
The teilegram added that Kivsell must uo
headed off at any cost.
In the meantime Ittissf-ll had not yet !
reached Sun ilver. Largcnt dispatched
Hobert L > nc'h and Lucas Conrous to the
coveted land \\lth a load of lumber nnd logs
for the purpose of house building and then
laid In wait for the unsuspecting ItUbsell.
The telegram had been received In the late
afternoon ; Hussell arrived at the little town
of Sun Ulvcr In the early evening. He told
Largent that ho was anxious to get to Johns .
town at once nnd asked If Largcnt could
Eupply htm with a guide. Nothing In the
world was easier , and In a few mlnutoj a
man was found who knew the country as
well as If bo had made It. The man's name
Is forgotten now , unfortunately , but
subsequent events proved that ho was nUJJ
right. He took Ktisscll out over the darken 111
Ing prairie and led ihlm nearly half-way to
Donton. They made a circle or two about
IJervton lake , sixteen mllta north of this
city nnd fully twice that distance off the
direct route from Sun Klver. Finally , ai the "i
cast began to show a gray streak along -
horkon , the guide- brought Russell through !
the big conic ? where the line of the Great
Northern now runs and down to the Intended
elte of VlllardVj terminal station.
AN OUTWITTED LOCATOR.
Lvnch and Ccnrous were alroiiy en the
npot and had ronsct sttuoturea put up ,
siilllclcnt to Indicate their Intentions of set
tling on that narticular oicco of land ,
Jlusscll raved a little , but ho win help-
less. The guide vus apparently Innocent
and Hussell did not know enough ot tbe
local topography to fee thit ho had been
led a wild goose clus * , lasting thiough
the night. Ljnch anl Conrous protested
that they had an overpowering desire for"
the hnJ they had Just taken up and noth
ing In the world would Induce them to ro-
Itnmilsh their holdings. There was noth
ing left for Russell save to return to
.Helena and report his failure to VillaiJ.
It Is possible that on tbo homeward jour
ney lie noticed that the dlstince between
Johnstown and Sun Ulvcr had beta mnr-
vclously shortened during the morning or
possibly some of the Sun Klvcr citizens
gave the Joke away. At any rate , It crept
out and was enjoyed by the old-timers fo.4
r years. *
Conrous took uo 160 acres covering tbo
enot vvhero the roundhouse now stands
and Lvach had the claim directly to the
1101 th and Joining U. The square log houeo
which Is now standing on the wool > , lde U
the cabin which Lynch put up and occupied
nil through ; the spring d 1871. Of coursu Iti
k not now on Its original -tl1 ? . It lids been
moved several timed , but aa near as ono cart
calculate at the piMi.il time , after the
ground has bsen repoutidly uurveyec" . nnd
rcsurvoyed , It Is p.oaably on the oxtieiu )
clco of the LT ch clilm. Lvnch and Con
rous lived hero during sever U months , long
enough to establish inelr claims to the
land. Then either because the railway
Kchcnicg wrro dropped or because the In
dians became too troublesome they left , in
tending to ceturn In the following spring.
Lynch , however , quit the country In a 111-
tie while and nothing ha * been heard of him
since. Conroua wandered about through tha
state , but after a lapse of nlno jears he 10-
turned to his claim and relocated It. J. M.
Matkln later Jumped the Lynch claim an I
eold It only a faw years befoio his death In
this city , which occurred In 1890. Conrou *
lso sold his claim latr to local parties
THD BUFFALO FOKD.
At a point In the Missouri river , Just below
the present railway bridge , waa formerly a
natural ford for buffalo and other game and
for the Indiana of this state also. Some-
tlmo ago Gcorgo A. Wells , now In London ,
in ppeaMng of the matter said that the first
tlmo he visited Great Falls sometime In he
' 70's ho and a companion attempted to rd
the river at this natural fording place. They
had gene part of the way ucroea the stream
v\ hen they were met by an enormous band ot
buffalo , which came down from the bluffa ante
the \vcJt aldu ot the river and waded Into
tlio stream , apparently without tbo least
fear of the etrangers They were so numer-
ourt and BO determined to get across the
river that they threatened to overwhelm Mr.
Wells and his friend and the latter were
obliged to turn around and get back to the
shore. An Ijjea of the Immense herda which
were met In those days can be gained by the
recalling ot the fact that In the cypress
Mils , eighty miles north ot Fort Asslnlbolne ,
there were packed In 1879 for shipment down
tlio Missouri by way ot Fort Denton 70,000
buffalo hides , and tha next year 50,000 wcro
packed. rod
The Indiana , too. appreciated this ford ,
ml whenever the IMegana and the Ulooda , or
the Crows or the Nez Perccs went on the
warpath , they wcro pretty sure to find their
way aooner or later to this particular spot.
In the traditions ot tbe Indiana and half-
breeds who sometimes visit this city now ,
thcro U n story that Sitting Dull with his
herd of wurrlors once came here. Naturally
tlili waa not a healthy spot for white men to
settle. Up at Ulm. on. the estate of the late
I > ave Churchill , the good fathers of 3t.
Peter's mliolon were obliged every little
whllo to get out among the cand till La and
dodge the arrows and bullets of the rodsklns.
who failed to appreciate their good Inten
tions. So at this point , where every band not
liostllM pasacd , tha llfo of a white man waa
matter ot the greatest risk. It was likely ,
therefore , that this hud much to do with heel
removal of Lynch and Conrouu.
MUSTERS AND THE INDIANS.
The cabin of the flnt rtooj not far from
tbe river bank and WM used by all travel-
era , white or red , two or four-footed. In the
eprlng ot 1871 John Rock and hi * brother ,
Peter , came down from Sun river to do a
llttl * bunting. At tb t time. tid even as ) ito
t ten yearn ago , tbe big bend which tbo
HlMouri makea Ju t below tbt ford WM
the favorlto resort and feeding ground of
geese , ducks , swan an'd all manner 6f wild
water fowl. So , too , woa the Sun river. It
waa after this species of sport that the Rock
btathero came. They camped In the Lynch
cabtn-and then In the early morning took
their photguns and went out. During the
day they separated , Peter anlmmlng the Sun
river and hunting In the slougha to the south
of that stream , while John went up the near
est bank , Peter wan returning Just at sun-
act , well-loaded with wild geese and ducks ,
and waa about to swim the Sun rlvor. LookIng -
Ing to the soi'th he could fee his brother
John walking along the bank ot the Mis
souri with his shotgun over hlfl shoulder and
a big bunch of game suspended from It. Ho
watched him approach the cabin In this care
less manner. Then there was a fusillade of
Hhots , Peter eaw his brother fall to the
ground and a band of Indians * 'In ' warpaint
rush forward to take the dead man's scalp.
Peter fired both barrc'a of his shotgun In
the air and the ruse proved successful , the
Indians starling down the river on a run
and never turning back , doubtless believing
that there was a considerable party of whites
In pursuit.
I'eter iroraed the Sun river and went up
to his brother , whom he found quite dead.
Eleven rifle shots hatl passed through him
A id the end must ha o come almost Instantly.
The surviving brother took the sad news
to the little town of Sun Hlver , traveling
all .night. The citizens there organized a
party to recover the body and pursue the
Indians. Thov aso. ! before starting out ,
sent word to the sai Hera .it 1'or : ShirA
troop of cavalry WBS son : from the fort later.
The Indians , who ' .vero elevui Dloods , on n
war expedition , continued down the rlvrr
on foot and reacnul t'io ' bid lands b"t\wen
thla.-clty and Fort llenton In safety. There
they managed to easily elude their pur
suers , who were on Iiorst'task and no match
for itho wily savages , who , on fool , wound
In and out of the InnunnTtible bills and
buttes and threw them off the trail.
The body of John Rock , which lay under
cuard in the old Lvnch cabin , was tiken
to Sun River and there urlel with appro
priate rites. It vvns the third to" find real
in the prlrnittte cemetco" of il two com
rades , one had been aimiltrly kll'ed ' by In
dian ? and the other had.been drowned In the
Sim river.
This death scrvad only to fix morr firmly
on the face of ths HOt'lors ' a certain grim
expression , and It la Bald that from that
time the number of dei-1 It.dl.ms found on
the prairie around Sun k\nr without < ii > -
parent cause of death wvo n bullet hole
rapidly Increased. It w.u ton jeans before
the Dloods who were Impllcitel in the ! i
dastardly murder dared to mention It. but i
the feeling had then worn awsv and it U
believed that today severalof the murder
ers af John Rock are reisldlLg on the llliclc-
feet reservation. In tlie inejiitlnic , the old
cabin across Itho river tells no mori.

Never In tbe history of the cattle industry
in this state has the movement ot stock to
the pastures in the Indian Territory been a f i ,
heavy as now , Tbe cattle are from Texas , .
Louisiana and Arkansas. The greater bulk I
of tbo San Angelo shipments have been made I
Into Kansas. While this great movement I
U going on , many section. ? of Texas are
rapidly filling up their depleted ranges with
cattle from the southern state. Georgia [
alwie has contributed 05,000 dead during tbo
last few months , as wfll as other sections ,
among them MlssMilppl , Alabama and
Tennessee being called upon to restock.
Texas ranges. Georgia alwaja ha * bad a
large surplus , whllo some of the other
southern states hardly raised enough stock
to supply them with beef , but BO great hia
been the advance In prices that Georgia Is
today actually buylug cattle la districts
where cattle raising U a comparatively un
important Industry. Tbla condition ot things
has , of course , given a grat stimulus to the
cattle business ot the south which vvlll re
sult In great good to Texas. Several large !
cattle ranges have been retabllsliei In
Georgia and Tcciucisaec by the consolidation ,
ot a number of finall farms lying together
and the entire tract Is then de
voted to cattle raising to tbe exclusion of
cotton and corn. It U not at alt1 unlikely i
that cattle raising In the south during the
coming year will develop Into large porpor-
tlons.
