Bill's train and ours, with others, camped at Julesburg four or .five days in crossing the stream. We put ox -yokes under the wagons to raise them out of the water and we used - 18 - or 20 cattle to a wagon. \Our train and Cody's proceeded to Laramie and there we camped to- gether. A big council of Indians met at the fort to hold a parley with Gen- eneral Maynandier, the commander of the post. There were 12,000 or 15,- 000 Indians camped - on the North Platte on both sides. We spent two days at Laramie. . \A squaw attempted to pass a guard one night, and the soldier fired his rifle and killed a papoose on her back. Pandemonium broke tootle. The Indians were pacified by liberal gifts of sugar, ponies, beef cattle and other valuables, and we thought the matter was settled. Indians Take Warpath. \ We went along the river, intend- ing to cross above La Pareille creek, and take the Bozeman cut-off to Montana. Four days out of Fort Laramie a Courier came riding up and called for the wagon boss, and told us , the Indiana were on the war- path. \Our train consisted of 46 wagons and 42 men. Every man in the train but two had been in the armies of the north and south, and there was a liberal sprinkling of Quant- rell's guerrillas. There were eight wagon -loads of Spencer carbines and ammunition for Fort Bridger in our train for the government. \The wagon boas se-ved out four carbines to each - man and a haver- sack halfful of cartridges. Every man carried two . carbines strapped on his shoulders, and had two more nailed or tied to the side of his wag- on box read? for use. \In a few days we' reached Fort Casper, the last creasing of the North Platte, where the mud goes to Sweet- water. About 100 soldiers were at the croseing under the command of a lieutenant, anti an order had been issued to allow ho train to pass with less than 100 wagons. Sixteen4Wagons Pull Ahead. \But we were well armed, and our -wagon boss gave an arder to drive on. It took three tours to mount the grade across from Casper to the plateau, and there we camped. Six- teen .wagone with women and chil- dren—a horse train—bound for Cali- fornia, pulled around and Went ahead of us. \Three or four hours later we re- sumed the march, and vvithin a few miles came upon the Californians in campt Indiana had,run off all their atock but five race horses that they led behind the wagons and fed grain, and which they were taking to California. They were in a desper- ate and miserable condition. \We camped there, and some of our boys offered to take the race- holises and try to get back their stock from the Indians. There were only three saddles, but five started, two bareback. The Indians were out of sight. • Dust Cloud Observed. \About sundown there was a big dust to the northeast of us, We supposed it was Indians, and got ready to receive them. You can - imagine our pleasure when it proved to be our men. They brought back not only the stock of the Californians but 30 or 40 Indian ponies, and be- hind each saddle was a human head that had just been cut off, two In- dians and a white man's. • \The Californians stuck by us and were of great help, -because we could throw out a guard every day with the added force of men. The In- dians had burnen the stations at In- dependence Rock, Three Crossings, Sweetwater and elsewhere. Thev had cleaned up everything on the South pass route. Indians Forced to Haim Siege. \We welt up the Sweetwater, and near its Need found a lieutenant and 20 soldiers in a blockhouse besieged by several hundred Indians. It took us but a short time to raise the siege. The soldiers accompanied us to Fort Bridger. The Indians quit us then, and we crossed the Greet' river at Jack Robinson's ferry. The wagon boss sent eight wagons to Fort Bridger with the guns and ammunition. \We traveled up Ham's fork of Green river and took SUblette's cut- off on the Oregon trail. We reached Bear river at Bear lake, and camped at the Mormon settlement. We passed Soda springs, crossed Snake river at Taylor's bridge, now called Idaho Falls, and from there went on to Montana, arriving at Virginia City Abgust 20, 1866. \I did not see Cody again, after parting with him at Fort Laramie, till 1892, 26 years later. Warren Le- land, proprietor of the Leland hotel at Chicago, introduced me to Colonel Cody, then at his hotel. Cody ejacu- lated: \ 'By thunder! You were no son - of -a -gun of a general when I saw you last. You were just a plain bull- whacker.' \I said, 'Neither were you a col- onel. You were only an everyday wagon lioss. Let's irrigate!' Cody Wins Fame Abroad. \Cody had just returned after his first great success in Europe. He was the lion of the day, but. really, I believe he was better pleased to meet me than he would have been 'to see any of his old friends. \Ife introduced me to Nate Salis- bury, his manager; tu Pony Bob, an old express rider, and to many others of his troupe, both men and women, and :while I was at the world's fair. I had passes to the show for myaelf and family for the entire season. \I met him many times afterward. He never went through Montanai but lie sent me word to meet him. The last time he was at Butte. a year or so ago, I was his guest am] rode through the town in his buggy with hitn at the head of the Wild Wept show. Between the afternoon and evening shows he was my gueat at a dinner given in his honor at my home at Butte. \Some people have an idea that Cody was a wild western ruffian. He woe a courtly gentleman. a man of eupreme courage, a lovable charac- ter and generous to a fault, and I feel the deepest regret at his death and will always remember him as a true friend arill-•one whose passing was a real loss to me.\ Appropriations Increased. The Indian committee of the Unit- ed States senate in reporting the In- dian appropriation bill has increase the amount carried by the house bill for the Fort Belknap Irrigation project from $20,000 to $30,000 and for the Rocky Boy band of Chippewas from $5,000 to $10,- 0.00. The senate bill author- izes the expenditure of $20,400 to purchase lands for reservoir pur- pose° for the Blackfeet irrigation projects. The bill provides for ' a committee of five senators and five representatiyes to Investigate and re- port Indian conditions to congress. Bets Made at the Bar.

No Less Than 125 Models of the Newest Types and of Different Makes Will Be, Displayed—Tour- - tag Cars and Roadsters and Wag. OHS and Trucks. An event of no small importance to Montana is the Montana State Au- etomobile show, to be staged in Great Falls the week beginning February 19. • • In this important affair all of the automobile distributors of Montana ere taking a particularly lively inter- est, such an interest as already has stamped the coming affair as a suc- cess from an exposition standpoint. The propositiOn is backed by the most substantial local business men and automobile distributors and gets liberal support froin the outside. Great Falls is one of the important auto distributing centers.of Montana, and here are locatea some of the largest of distributing and sales agencies in the state. The Electric city rules a wide range of territory, and its distributing headquarters command a corps of agents outside numbered at not less than 300. ' The auto show will be conducted in the second floor hall of the municipal market building, with A. J. Breitenstein, secretary of the Great Falls Commercial club, as man- ager. Mr. Breitenstein at present is laboring with the Northern Montana Automobile Distributors' association along lines designed to make the ex- position a piece of snow .perfection. The plans include a display of not less than 125 models of the newest types and of different makes. These will include touring care of all types, roadsters and wagons knd trucks. A portion of the market floor space. which is apart from the regular ex- position hall, will be dediCated to the showing of accessories, motorcy- cles, etc. In conjunction with the auto ex- hibit there will be a State Farmbrs' convention held in Great Falls. This is expected to add consiflerably to the interest in and the enema of the auto exposition. Tne farmers' con- clave alone is expected to bring not less than 1,000 visitors to Great Falls, while the' gas car show should add that many more. DON'T WEAR A TRUSS!
