A COURAGEOUS MAN'S DEEDS.
HullUccotneft White and 111 *
Form Hent Through Intense
1'ear Causes of the H Ion v
AVnr of 1870.
Cincinnati Enquirer : There are few
persons who are reully uwaro ot ono of
the leading caused which prolonged the
Sioux war of 1870 , and that led to the
massacre of Custor and his bravo little
band of soldiers on the banks of the Lit
tle Horn. History , in attempting to
trace up the different causes which led
lo this result , though endeavoring to
give.reasons , has apparently omitted to
mention one of the pi-lino caused of the
conflict , and in groping for such information
mation the reader is generally loft in
obscure darkness. It is strange , too ,
that this chief event , which evidently
precipitated war so much earlier than it
would otherwise have occurred , seems
to have been either overlooked or neg
lected by the historian , and consequently
a largo portion of some of the most im
portant and interesting events of those
times has passed by unnoticed or only
been treasured up by those who partici
pated , possibly to appear at some future
time or perchance bo forgotten
altogether. Among the hardy and
most courageous pioneers of Montana
was Paul McCormick , now a resident of
Junction City , that territory , nnd a
merchant of considerable wealth nnd
inllucui-e. His wife is an eastern lady ,
handsome and intelligent , and withal
a rare beauty , and extremely youthful
in appearance. But what most strikes
the eye of the stranger on catching
sight of Mr. McCormick and _ his lovely
wife is that the apparent dilYoreneo in
their uges is quite a matrimonial anom
aly , the former's hair and whiskers
being snow-white , while the hitter's
hair is jet-black , glossy , and she'pos-
sefcfccb such fresh and rosy features us to
be easily mistaken for a young maiden
of sweet sixteen , instead of the better
half of a man .whoso head indicates
seventy or eighty winters. Neverthe
less , Mr. McCormick's face has n bright ,
healthy look , and if you will observe
closely you will perhaps discover
that his' features do not really in
dicate moro than afow years past
thirty. Still , on first impression , you
are far more inclined to exclaim to
yourself : "What u. pity to marry a , man
old enough to be her grandfather ! "
Paul McCormii-k wus one of the foro-
mobt pionccrsof Montana. He drifted
to Alder gulch , or Vh-trinia City , there
being at that time much excitement in
consequence of the gold discoveries.
From Alder gulch he wont to "Lust
C'hance , " or Helena , and lalcr reached
Bo'/omau. These settlements were then
the only onct ) of tiny importance within
what is known as the territory of Mon
tana.
tana.McCormiok being an industrious ,
active , shrewd and trustworthy young
business man , and posaesscd of great
candor and sincerity of heart , boon
gained the unlimited confidence of
nearly all the most prominent people of
that section. Being thoroughly imbued
with an aggressive spirit , ho > rendered
valuable services to that section during
the times of its border outlaws , and
participated in many campaign
against the Indians , who frequently
committed depredations upon the prop
erty of the unprotected inhabitants. In
fact , there are few individuals within
that territory who took moro risks and
net-opted more ha/.ardous undertakings
than this same individual. The one ex
ploit , however , above all others , ifnd
which , though unwritten , ought to give
him a high place among thu pioneers' of
the west , was brought about by the open
ing of the Yellowstone country , precipi
tated by the building of old Fort Pciibo ,
from six to nine miles below tlio mouth
of Big Horn river , on the north bank of
the Yellowstone rivor. This was ac
complished through the daring energy
of McCormick and a few other individ
uals , who at Bo/.eman conceived the idea
of an outlet through the Indian country ,
thou in possession of the bloody Sioux.
It was a desperate undertaking , and
fraught with the most serious perils , as
that entire suction was then swarming
with hordes of hostile savages , ready to
pounce upon and destroy any whites who
might attempt to cros-i or invade these
domains. Nevertheless this did not
deter these daring pioneers from the
enterprise , and accordingly two
bouts were hastily constructed at Ben
son's Landing , whichafter being loaded
with goods , provisions , arms and am
munition , floated { leisurely down the
Yellowstone to an unknown destina
tion. ' These boats wore manned by over
forty bravo and sturdy pioneersbut this
did not prevent several accidents , the
voyage being one of great peril , owing
to the inexperience of the jniot.Huiid the
dangers attending navigation , the cur
rent in this river being frequently very
swift and rapid. Signs of Indians often
became visible to our adventurers , but
it was not until thov reached the vicin
ity of Pompcy's Pillar that they truly
realized their great danger. Hero they
discovered that the country was swarm
ing with the enemy , and on coming tote
to the conclusion that it would be im
possible to proceed very much further
without incurring groa't risk of not only
losing their property , but their lives
also , at length agreed to muko u land
ing and build some kind of protection
for defense , Accordingly they ellectcd
a landing on what is now Captain Wool-
folk's ranch , ono mile below the present
postolHco of Etchotah. Here
they foiled trees , and after
wceksof labor built a fort 22o feet square ,
which they named Fort Pease , in honor
of Major Pease , ono of the most promi
nent outfitters of the expedition. This
fort when completed , wet , ono of thi
strongest forti-o es in Montana , and
saved this gallant little bund from , an
nihilation , as well as serving to arouse
the Sioux to a most bloody conflict. Fen
two days or moro from the time of the
commencement of the erection of the
fort thu Indians wore apparently non
plused with surprise at the boldness 01
the aggressors landing on their reser
vation. Still they refrained during this
time from molesting the party of whites. .
After that , however , for weeks , ami
oven mouths , thu garrison was in a con
stunt state of hicgo , a i > iiiou of the in

opsary to hold out against the beleaguers ,
and it was , therefore , deemed important
that some one of these daring pioneers
should volunteer to run the gaunlct , and
secure not only un ample supply of pro
visions and ummunitioi' . but reinforce
ments also. It wasiiOO miles to Bozeman ,
the nearest place of relief , and over a
lonely , wild country , infested by sav
ages , but Paul McCormick cheerfully
volunteered to make the dangerous trip
alono. Leaving the fort by dusk and
traveling mostly by night in ton days ho
was at Bozeman , and secured not only
plenty of necessaries for the garrison ,
but organized quite a little company of
recruits , and with the stealth of a wild
animal they slipped down the river and
succeeded iu gaining the fort without
any loss. Soon after it was found neces
sary that another trip should bo nmdo ,
and again McCormick passed through
the Indian lines alone , and returned
again in safety. Then ho at various
times slipped _ out of the fort by night ,
and after killing a deer or an elk the
next day at some great distance off ,
would return in thd same manner to
supply the inmates with fresh venison.
So daring wore his feats that his com
panions had concluded that ho was in
reality insensible to fear.
It would take a very largo volume to
relate all the experiences of this bravo
little band of heroes nud cominemornto
their many sufferings and privations ,
and how-that their heroism reaching
Washington , enlisted the sympathies
of the government , which at once dis
patched thither troops j and rescued
them , and eventually , at a later period ,
brought about the termination of the
Sioux war. resulting in the opening up
for settlement by the whites the entire
Yellowstone country.
Ono evening , after nearly a week's
cessation of firing by the Indians on
Eort Peu.se , and nonp of thorn having
boon scon in the vicinity of the fort for
days , McConniok told some of his com
panions that ho proposed to venture
out early in the morning on horseback ,
and ascertain if there were really
any Indians still in that locality. Ilfs
frieuds warned him of the danger , but
ho scouted their warnings , and per
sisted so determinedly that they gave
up in despair , intinjiif iug loudly that
they would never see m again alive.
True to his determination , the next
morning found him ready for the trip.
Ono of his comrades , realizing the risk
McCormick would undergo alone , vol
unteered to accompauyliim , and at the
first approach of dayiig.it | the gate was
opened and the two ' ) ijorbomen quietly
departed , the ominous warnings of
their companions stillringing in their
ears. Prooeeding iijp,1 and .down the
valley , which is hn3 ( u wide bottom ,
thdy failed to discerit.'tjie slightest sign
of Indians , and accordingly came to the
conclusion , that the , tbiaux had aban
doned the siege. Hoforo returning ,
however , curiosity led them to make a
reconnaissance to -Vdulcp which came
dawn from the foolhillsTa"nd while pissing : -
ing along this shallow coulee Mc
Cormick's companion remarked that ho
saw something Hko the track of Indians
in the sund only a short distance uway ,
and begged McCoi-mick to oomo and
soo. Just at tlmt moimi'ht ' u
whole swarm of savages rose
up from behind H. s - tWu
iTrJ c-ttiptieii a volley from their rillos.
The distance was less thun twenty feet ,
but oviduntly the aim of the Indiuns
was vorv poor , owing to their haste and
eXoitumont. Mc.t'01'iiuck'b companion
was badly wounded and his horuo , in
stead of making toward the fortrusho < l
among the savages and the rider was.of
coin-so , lost. McCormiok , however ,
wheeled hi own horst toward the fort
and dashed back into the greatest haste
being ( surrounded by the red dovlls.who
boomed to rise up out of the earth on ull
sides , shooting and giving unearthly
yells. McCoi-mick being mounted on a
line charger , quickly passed the In
dians on foot , but suddenly confronted
by two Indian horsemen , who in some
unaccountable manner had got between
him and the fort. McCormick's horse ,
being very swift , enabled him to pass
one of them , though the Indian gave
him a terrible blow on the shoulders ,
his riile having been emptied whun Mc
Cormick was approaching. The other
horseman was now across his path and
waiting his turn , but , being under con
siderable excitement , his gun , though
so close to McCormick's face that his
flesh was fllled with powder , failed to
do any harm , and the occupants of the
fort having heard the tiring , now
rushed out to protect their conn-ado ,
and one of the Indian shot and his
scalp taken.

Japanese are great patrons of railroads.
Even when they have no business to
transact they ride back and forth on
the cars until their money is gonoovon
the beggars' in the largo towns spend

A pithy definition of a lover is the
following : "A lover is a man who en
deavors to bo moro amiable than it is
possible for a man to be , and this is the
reason why almost all lovers appear
ridiculous. "
