Don’t 'à t i a '- i ü * 'ïfofc [allmark Xrnas. greeting cards ith your lianitf, Mysterious Boundary Mrs. Hattie Fairbanks is view ing (in the accompanying photo) a mysterious row of stones which can be traced for many miles starting on Medicine Lodge and ending in the Centennial Valley. These stones were placed by human hands and apparently formed a boundary line of some kind, Mrs. Fairbanks said. The boundary of stones crosses south of Armstead and continues on to the Centennial! The stones are of foreign origin, some as large as heater stoves with only their tops sticking out as seen in the picture, time having filled around them with soil. Mrs. Fairbanks said that Parke T. Scott's mother, who studied Indian lore, attempted to learn from the Indians what the stones were for but none could telf her as they dated back centuries be fore their time. One legend built around the sirange boundary is that they might have been placed by the lost children of Israel, mentioned in the Bible as having gone out into the desert. f • Mrs. Fairbanks said that a Mormon scientist came out from Salt Cake City, Utah, attempting, to find evidence that the rocks were placed there by the Israel tribe. The rocks can easily be fol lowed over their course with only breaks in the line caused by . rocky hills and swamps. A t the Gosman Drug store there is displayed an 'original painting by Charles M. Russell, Montana's beloved cowboy artist, with an appendage to Norman Forsythe, who was his close friend. Mr. For sythe lives in Dillon at the home of Wilber Squires. He is lovingly called \Uncle Normy” by all the kids in the Squires neighborhood- \Uncle Normy” is a pioneer of Montana. He has a great fond ness for children and enjoys hold ing them on his lap as he reads funnies or stories or tells them of his early day experiences. He is a most lovable and gentle man. The painting shown this week at Gosman’s depicts Mr. Forsythe astraddle a buffalo. The painting was given to Mr. Forsythe by the artist. The Tribune prevailed up on Mr. Forsythe to tell the story of the painting and here it is: By Norman Forsythe \On Nov. 8, 1908, Charles M. Russell and I were camped with about 30 cowboys 20 miles south of Poison on the Ponderay river. “About 1878 an Indian, ‘Walk ing Coyote,' living in the Sweet Grass country of northern Mon tana captured four buffalo calves from a wild herd. In a few years he had 12 wild animals on his hands and no place to keep them- So he sold them to M. Pablo, a rancher near Ronan, Montana. Pablo put them in a wild open range on the Ponderay river, 20 miles west of his ranch and by 1906 he had a large herd. No one knew just how many. Teddy Wanted Them “The buffalo range wafe on the Flathead Indian reservation. Pablo was notified to do-something with his buffalo before the Flathead was opened for settlement. But no one could be found that wanted a herd of wild buffalo. Theodore Roosevelt was President and he .tried, to have Congress buy the entire herd and leave them right oh their range. Congress turned it down so Pablo went to Canada and they took them at $250 per head, calves and all. “Then \the great round-up start ed. It took four summers to get them all. There were over 800 head that fought to stay on their reservation. When they got in a tight place they would turn on the riders who would have to get out of the way of the ‘Thunder ing Herd’. “Russell and I took it all in. Camping with Charlie was the best way to get to know him. Gathered around the campfire at night he would keep us all en tertained and those four summers he never ran out of stories. “He was not a roughneck. He was the most tender hearted per son I ever knew.. He liked all kinds of ‘humans’. What they did was their business. He saw their good qualities only. From him I learned to see the beauties of the sunsets and the colors in flowers as I had never done before. Normy Rides Buffalo “On Nov. 8, 1908, the boys brought in 117 head and I was ready with my camera. The old leader saw me and charged. I had a cedar tree picked out but just as I started up I found my self straddling a mad buffalo bull. I hung to the tree and after what seemed a week the herd was gone and so was my camera and also my hat. “That Christmas Charlie sent me the painting which is perfectly true to life. I wish Charlie could come back so he could see how much we all appreciate him and his wonderful pictures. Perhaps he does know.\ C A R E L E S S H U N T S ! A G A I N B L A C K E N S B I G G A M E S P O R T Emerson Hughes suffered the loss of a valuable Aberdeen-Angus steer a few days ago, due to the carelessness of big game hunters. The steer wa^ killed on the Ester- wold ranch on Coyote creek which Mr. Hughes owns. Mr. Hughes is a broadminded rancher and if the careless hunter had bled the steer and notified him of it, good feeling would have prevailed all around. He could have at least saved the meat. But the careless hunter left the steer to die and it is a complete loss to the tune of $150. Mr. Hughes would have given the hunter part of the steer. As a result of this careless hunting accident, Mr. Hughes is posting his land against all hunt ers- Here is another example of what a few selfish hunters can do to the enjoyment of the many who, are- real sportsmen. \ 'No biam d ‘cah 'be attached ’to Mr. Hughes for posting his land. When hunters; complain about good hunting being posted, in stead of blaming the rancher they should consider what it means when a valuable critter is shot and the hunter makes no effort to placate the man who owns the land. The owner is out a sizeable amount of money due to the hunter who shoots promiscuously and makes no effort to right the wrong. JONES' 'OTHER WIFE' STRICTLY O N THE LEVEL (“Truthful James“ In the Monroe County Democrat, Sparta, Wise.) A man was sitting in the win dow one evening, and down the street came a man and a wom an in a car. He called to his wife and said, 'There goes Bill Jones and that woman he’s in love with.\ ; His wife was in the kitchen. She dropped a cup she was wiping, hurtled . through the door, knocked over a lamp and ran up to where her husband was sitting and looked out the window. “Where?” she inquired. “There, In that car,” an swered her husband. \Oh you idiot. That’s his wife,\ she said. “Yes, of course,\ he replied smoothly. Mrs. Edgar Rife and Mrs. Tay lor Bradley have bought the in terests of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Wight in the Oasis and will take pos session as soon as it can be com pletely renovated. The Oasis will be closed starting the 10th of November. Day-Old Son Of Lou Sages Dies The day-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lou Sage, of Dillon, passed away in Murray hospital at Butte Mon day night. The funeral was held today from Brupdage Chapel with Rev. Robert N. Johnstone of Grace Memorial Methodist church officiating. Interment was made in Mountain View cemetery. Mrs- Sage is reported to be doing as well as can be expected; K A Y T H O M P S O N N E W H E A D O F B I G H O L E 4 - H By Larry Christianson The regular meeting of the Big Hole 4-H club was held at the home of Jewell Deane Anderson Nov. 6.

Baker has greqt faith in his fellowmanj ex cept chief-of-police Dan Mooney and the boys around the city hall. If something goes wrong to disturb his peace of mind, he Is quick to regard his associates with distrust. This week he drove his car to its usual parking place near the city hall. The jalopy was- purring like a kitten, the sun was shining, it wels balmy like an exotic spring day and the judge was in the best of spirits. After sitting in his judicial capacity and lecturing on the evils of drink in his fatherly way to offenders who had looked too long upon the wine that is red« he stretched comfortably, yawn ed with satisfaction and went out to take a little ride in the sun- shlne. Stepping on the starter his motor hummed with expectation but when the judge shifted into gear the car remained motionless. Puzzled, the judge investigated and discovered a block of wood was jacking up one hind wheel. Chief Mooney and a couple of the boys were regarding him inno cently from the doorway. The judge gave them a reproachful stare, shook his head doubtfully and then forgot his love for his fellowman and accused the chief, Hubert Smith and Jack Bennett of perpetrating a joke on him. Chief Mooney brought his large fund of detective lore into use and after carefully examining the of fending block of wood opined as how the rear wheel had in some manner accidentally upended It In such a way that tho axle was jacked up. Not being able to prove other wise the judge accepted tho ex planation but there was still a semblance , of doubt in his mind as he drove away. Now the judge is taking no more chances on practical jokes at the city hall. He has found an other parking space near the postoffice and although it requires walking several blocks to his jud icial bench at the city hall, he- feels his vehicle is safe from molestation. The judge requires lots of parking space as the balky Critter is hard for him to handle in k tight‘squeeze: ) ! - - — • ^ Luther Smith, who has • the sanctimonious air of an angel, told the judge that he believed Dan’s theory about the wheel up ending the block of wood. He said he had the same kind of ah acci dent happen to him once. But our kindly judge is turning Luther’s explanation over in his mind with thoughts akin to suspicion. \Perhaps opines the judge, \Luther should be put in the same category as chief Mooney, Jack Bennett, Hubert Smith and the rest of the city hall boys.\ Outside of that particular crowd the judge’s love for his fellow- man is unabated at last reports.
