Pioneer Malcom Clarke Killed in 1869 Montana Indian Raid
The account recalls violent deaths in 1869 near Helena as Indians attacked settlers and miners. Malcolm Clarke, an elderly pioneer on the Missouri headwaters, was shot at his Little Prickly Pear valley ranch on August 16 1869, and his son Horace was wounded. James Quail a Silver Creek placer miner was killed in August 1869 during a raid aimed at a horse herd near Silver City. The subsequent U S Army action on the Marias river in January 1870 led to a mass killing of Indians under Mountain Chief, Heavy Runner, and Piegan bands, amid smallpox illness and confusion, with few guilty brought to justice. Clarke’s ties to the fur trade and West Point, and Quail’s associates Cruse and Meager figure in Montana mining history, alongside local figures like Don Becker. Nellie Clarke, Malcolm’s daughter, later served as Lewis and Clark county school superintendent.

Grasshopper Poison Suspected in Montana Cattle Die-Off
Dr. Emil Starz, chemist for the state livestock sanitary commission, says arsenic in grasshopper poison may fuel cattle deaths in Montana. Some cases appear malicious, and bait often wrongfully placed in fields. He notes cow stomachs resist antidotes and urges small, scattered distributions to prevent poisoning. Strikes and layoffs burden workers and employers nationwide, with millions idle and up to a half-million idle in New York state.
