'Spokane,' Historic Ruby Valley Horse Won Derby on 'Spirits' of Indian Horses One of the popular horse races of Madison County's annual Fair is the Spokane Handicap. It is named after a great race horse that was bred and born on what is now the Bayers Hereford ranch near Twin Bridges. Spokane, owned by Noah Arm- strong, won the Kentucky Derby in 1889 and went on to become the first \triple crown\ winner, winning also the Clark Stakes and the American Deft-. This week, the Ghost of old Bummer Dan dug up the story about Spokane. \So you don't believe in spirits, huh?\ challenged The Ghost \Let me tell you again a twice-told tale about a horse that was known as 'Spokane.' \On the banks of the Spokane river, a few miles above Spokane Falls, there used to be an area known as Wright's Bone Yard.' It was there that Col. Wright con- cluded his campaigns against the Spokanes, the Kalispells, the Coeur d'Alenes and San Pouelle Bishop C. Sterling To Visit in Valley The Rt. Rev. Chandler W. Ster- ling, D. D., will be in the Ruby Valley Sunday, Dec. 29. He will be speaker at the 10 o'clock ser- vice at Christ church, Episcopal, in Sheridan and at St. Paul's in Virginia City for the 12 o'clock service. At this time of his annual visi- tation, he will confirm a class in each church presented by Rev. Leigh A. Wallace,, Jr, vicar. Bishop Sterling, whose head- quarters are in Helena, has the care of all the Episcopal churches in Montana. He will also celebrate the holy communion in Christ church at 8 a.m. that day. There will be a pot luck sup- per to honor the bishop and the confirmands at 6 o'clock Satur- day a-ening, Dec. 28 in Bethany hall in Sheridan. A coffee hour will follow the service in Virginia City. At these times everyone will have an opportunity to meet Bishop Sterling personally, Rev. Wallace said. Indians, way back about 1840. Indian Horses Shot \There the colonel fought a battle and captured many thous- and head of beautiful, sleek horses that the Indians had driven with them in their retreat from the lower country. When the red men saw that they were whipped, each brave mounted a fleet horse and fled, calling back to Col. Wright that he could have the rest of the horses, that the white men were horse thieves anyway, rather than soldiers. Col. Wright taught them better, for the next day he surrounded and shot every horse the Indians had left. \There was a tradition among the Spokanes to the effect that in the evening, when the plain was covered with the dead carcasses of beautiful horses that the Great Spirit spoke to a wounded war- rior who had been overlooked by the white men as he lay among the heaps of the slain. The Great One told him that the spirits of the horses had blended into one and that one day that spirit horse would return with the speed, the endurance and the pluck of all the horses dead on the battle field. \The Great Spirit said that this phantom horse would enter into the body Of a colt, which would be called 'Spokane,' and that he would go forth to conquor all the horses of the earth. \Now said Bummer Dan, \Go read the story of 'Spokane,\ the colt as it was told in The Madi- sonian of May 18, 1889. See if then you'll believe in spirits.\ Taken 'from that issue of The Madisonian is this story: 15th KENTUCKY DERBY MARKS MEMORABLE EPOCH The 15th Kentucky Derby will mark a memorable epoch in the history of the American. hurt.

The Park service said,the success in using two heli- copters' to drive the elk into the corila4ilias encouraged them to belibv4„ that all surplus from the herd can be trapped. The total number to be trapped will be de- termined by the final hunter suc- cess north of the Park. The total reduction of the Park herd this year is to be 1,000 ani- mals with some being taken for biological studies. The hunter kill north of the Park will be in- cluded in the figure, with only the balance to be shipped into 'Montana and Wyoming. In addition. 800 head of elk are to be trapped and tagged for mi- gration studies this year. The total herd is presently estimated at slightly over 6,000.
