89 Year-Old Rancher Kept Busy Amid Frontier Life
The 89 year old Neubert managed his ranch and official duties, left town for Fort Renton, and lived with the Thorong Indians for about a year. He survived on meat and fish, used a breech-loading rifle as a feared weapon, witnessed tribal clashes, but took no scalps. He does not deny his gun barked during encounters.

Captain Wood sought timing of T ag transfer to Bannack and Governor Ridgerton’s possible judgeship. The speaker denied political aims, saying he attended to business for profit. Wood then secured his father in law’s appointment, while a March 1888 Corvallis sighting shows Wood listed as Chairman in a territorial history, a wrong to be corrected for the pioneers.
