How E. M. Locke Saved Captain Clark From Massacre
E M Locke recounts in 1902 how a dispatch to Gen Miles averted a massacre similar to Little Bighorn. In 1879 Miles led a mixed force from Fort Custer toward Fort Keogh to disarm northern Montana half breeds while confronting Sitting Bull renegades. Locke rode through heavy fire to deliver Miles the warning enabling a counterattack with Gatling guns that forced the Indians to retreat. Five horses and four men wounded, one expedition halted at Milk River then Canada border met by Northwest Mounted Police.

He noted 1942 will require the U S to supply 25 percent of Britain's food, while surpluses of wheat, cotton and tobacco may prompt acreage reductions.
