No Trace of the Gang In Mighty Northern Manhunt
A 12 man posse from Cascade county led by Sheriff Benner rode from Great Falls to Chinook and Bear Paw to pursue alleged train robbers in the Little Rocky mountains. They found no robbers, endured heat and rough trails, and encountered Red Self who seemed to aid the chase before the mission dissolved. The expedition included a Bear Paw camp, a Parker ranch halt, and a bear-spring camp near Belknap with a passing glimpse of Indian graves, a St Paul mission area, and a scenic canyon ascent toward Sandusky mining camp.
