A. C. Logan, former territorial schools chief, moved from Helena to buy the James Ennis ranch near this city. He imported thoroughbred Poland Chinas, butchered 60 head, and failed to find buyers in Big Timber, Livingston, Bozeman, or Helena. He dumped rotten hogs into the Yellowstone, an early example of profit cutting hog processing.
