ars 1411111611 THE EKALAHA EAGLE. .44.1.1. 1 11 .7. [RUSSELL LOSES LD FRIEND Neenah, : Russell's Ohl Saddle Horse, Died Last Week Charlie Rusik11, the \Montana art- ist, lot one of his old friends last week, And his heart was saddened. It was Neenah, his saddle horse for the past 18 years, who left Russell's corral and, departed over that lonely, dark trail of mystery that man can- not follow, but which leads, Russell believes, to green ranges where the feed is always plenty and where the creeks always run clear and cool. Neenah was getting old, for it is nearly 20 years since Russell - bought him from Young Boy, a Cree Indian ef Little Bear's wandering tribe, and the horse was then around six years old. Since Russell has had him, Nee- nah has led what might be called a sheltered life, with light work, good pasturage in the/ winter and plenty of oats and hay when he was kept up during the summer months. Hence his 26 years did not bear heavily up- on him, and aside from a giowing un- steadiness on his feet, he was still a serviceable animal and usually made a pretense that he was going to buck .whenever Russell saddled him up. This, however, wassonly a between Neenah and Russell, horse had a gentle dispositiet vices. Russell had not ridden Neenah since last spring, when the old horse put his foot in a hole and fell, throw- ing Russell and breaking his right wrist. However, as it looked like a hard winter, Russell got Neenah in from his pasture and kept him in the barn and corral at his home in Great Falls, where the old horse was found dead one morning a week ago. Russell has had several other fa- vorite saddle horses that he has kept until old age claimed them. One was Monte, a Pinto Indian pony that Rus- sell bought front,the Blackfoot about 1880. Monte lived to be nearly.. -'30 and died in .a pleasant pasture' near Great Falls. Then there was a sorrel home, Red Bird; ,aad,,A gray called Gray Eagle. If the Indian belief is a true one, these old friends of the artist may be' grazing together some- where on the prairies of the shadow land, awaiting the coming of their master to the happy hunting grounds. tie joke r the and no MONTANA BATTLEFIELD STU STREWN WITH BONES ©IF DEAD \A rock slid away disclosing a hu- man skeleton. Investigation reveal- ed other bones—here a skull, there a thigh, a jawbone or a leg. The whole hillside was littered with the bones of men.\ In this manner a Butte newspaper • man describes his visit to the Twin Buttes of Horse Prairie valley, sit- uated about 30 miles west of Arm - stead, and 100 miles southeast of Butte. The Horse Prairie valley, in which Lewis and Clark spent several days while on their historic expedition, contains other evidence of inhabita- tion by Orimitive races, for this valley Once was famous for its . fish and game and delightful climate and was the happy hunting grounds for the Indians of Montana. Here they lived and died, and fought in the savage wars which sometimes exterminated whole races. The Twin Buttes which rise abruptly dlit of the prairie at the juncture of three small creeks prob- ably once witnessed a savage and sanguinary battle, for, according to tradition and mute testimony of de- caying bones, hundreds were slain.

Whether or not any escaped prob- ably will never be determined, for history contains no mention of the conflict. Only the skeletons remain to tell of the tragedy. The majority of the bones have been - Varied beneath sliding rock, but here and there, a hand, a foot or a skull projects from the loose%stone. An occasional moccasin, a piece of blanket, beads, eagles' claws, elk teeth and arrow heads can be found. When a Butte newspaper man vis- ited the old battlefield five years ago scores of eagles' claws, arrow heads and pieces of *man bone were dis- covered and carried away as sou- venirs. Mrs. J. W. Scott of Armstead, who has spent several years in investi- gating Indian legends and in tracing down obscure ends to early Montana history, when told of the discovery, said that the late H. H. Brown of Grant, a little town which nestles in the center Of Horse Prairie valley, once told her of passing the Twin Buttes shortly after the battle or massacre. \My attention was first attracted to the buttes,\ Mr. Brown is report- ed having said, \by hundreds of buz- zards which were /circling above the hill. I watched them as they swoop- ed down and arose in droves. When I came closer I saw that the hillside was covered with bodies of Indian dead. Noted for Indian Relics One of the skulls which was shown to a physician was, according to the man of science, that of a youth, prob- ably not more than 10 years of age. This indicates that not only the war- riors, but a whole tribe was ms- atred. The Horse Prairie valley is noted for its Indian relics. Near Armstopd there are traces of an old wall. Only the tumble down ruins remain of what once may have been fortifica- tions or some peculiar device for slaughtering buffalo. West of the Motion rand' home either nature or the hand of a redmaa has carved the figure of a gigantic man upon the face of the hill -side. From a distance of 10 miles the face .of the redman', with his war bannet and right hand raised in defiance, is 'plainly discern- ible. Although the figure is believed to be a freak of nature, man could hardly improve upon the picture, which covers the entire side of the mountain. MINER SETS TRAP GAME COMMISSION TO GUARD CABIN REVIEWS ITS WORK FEARS FOR SAFETY OF 01.D. TIMER CAUSES DISCOVERY OF MAN KILLING DEVICE • Rifle Arranged So That Opening of Door Would Pull Trigger and Send * Bullet Into Visitor; Proposed That Any Thief Who Came to Pilfer' Would Not Go Away. . •'. ' Discovery of one of the ' greatest man -traps and fool killers ever re- corded in the western states ,was made by Joe Spurieni, chief of t Helena police, Tom Daly, fire chief, and two of his assistants, when they entered the cabin of Jim Abbott, on the site of the barn of the old Mosh- er dairy which a score of years 4go nestled against the slopes of Mount Helena, 200 yards north of the \First Cave.\ Abbott had been missing- A week when it I was severely cold and some of the friends of the old prospector wondered if he had been lost. Me city authorities went to his cabin to see if he was there. A sign on the door in neatly print- ed letters said: \Don't knock here. Danger.\ .The official d took the tip in good faith, and it was wise that they did so. Instead of standing in front of the do - 6r, they stepped to one side and broke it down with a fence Void. , The door went in with a, crash. and as it fell the muzzle of a 45-90 old-style Wincheiter repeat- ing rifle came into' view. The weapon was loaded, but not cocked. It was arranged with a piece of wire a quarter of an inch in diameter, a circular spring and piece of string, and when set would dis- charge the rifle at the lightest tap on the door, Itwas believed by the po- lice, who did not find Abbott there, that he put' up the trap because of a number of cabins which had been broken into and pilfered. After diligent inquiry it was learn- ed that Abbott 'left Helena for Kan- sas recently. 1 GREAT FALLS FISH HATCHERY IS BEING BUILTf • WILD BE' COMPLETED NEXT SUMMER\' 4. Field Stations, for the Collection of Native Trout Eggs to be Opened on Upper Madison Soon; Five Mil- lion Brook Fry to be Distributed The members of the state game and fish commission, at a meeting held in Butte recently, reviewed the work of the year. The members of the compission ke J. L. DeHart of Helena, J. L. Kdily of Anaconda, \Bud\ Story of Bozeman, M. D. Baldwin of Kalispell and Thomas L. Marlow of Missoula. Marlow succeeded William Bickford of Missoula, who resigned prepara- tory to spending the winter in Cali- fornia. More than 5,000,000 brook trout eggs are expected to be secured in the course of the coming year, ac- cording to Supqrintendent of Hatch- eries Kelly. Plans for improvement of the various stations were discus- sed at the meeting to dare for the increased scope 'of the work. — Among the improvements , planned Is a new water system for the Hebgen dam hatchery, and a new grayling battery for the Anaconda station. The new grayling battery will enable the station to handle four or five Whoa the number of grayling handled in the past. It was also voted to start construc- tion of a residence for the foreman of the station at Emigrant in Park coun- ty, as soon as weather conditions will permit. A garage, ice house, work shop and a store room for fishieftrod will also be built. Work on the new Great Falls sta- tion, the gift of the Montana Power coinfiany to the state, is progressing satisfactorily, Mr. Kelly said, and is expected to be completed next sum- mer. Field stations for collection of egg,s of native trout will be opened on the upper Madison and its tribu- taries soon, Mr. Kelly announced. Another field station will be opened near the Emigrant station. • He gave out some interesting fig- ures on the number of fish liberated by the various hatcheries during the last year. he Anaconda hatchery liberated 3,340,000 fry, 169,000 chin- ook salmon, 2,304,000 brook trout, 1,730,000 native trout and 1,264,000 rainbow trout. Through the cooper- ation of the United States bureau of fisheries, the MaAllister hatchery liberated 446,800 brook trout, plant- ing them in Meadow lake. The Heb- gen hatchery liberated 60,000 native and rainbow trout. '.The report from the Somers station has not yet been received. Watch Cuticura Improve Your Skin.
