Lutheran Mission to Reds in 1859 Was Failure
The Powder River mission to convert the Crow tribe failed due to misjudging terrain and hostilities from Sioux and Cheyenne allies. Braeuninger and companions faced illness, financial strain, and rising danger, with Braeuninger killed amid mounting threats while the others deserted or fled, ending the effort.

First Montanan Takes Advantage of Wheat Insurance Plan
F H Richardson of Columbus paid the first Montana premium on a 1939 wheat policy. H O Beeman of Broadview became the first to deposit for 1940 coverage, paying two years’ premiums to lock in low wheat prices. Nearly 2,000 Montana producers have applied for 1939 wheat insurance. Early payments help avoid higher costs if prices rise.
