Hunting at High Altitudes 



Tomlinson, the matron of the building, together 

 with a strong constitution, pulled me through the 

 crisis. While I was convalescing, Dr. Monroe 

 came from Bozeman to visit me, as also* did 

 George Wakefield and Mr. Huffman. On Decem- 

 ber 1 8, with Colonel Glough, Mrs. Tomlinson and 

 a number of young engineers, who were going 

 East, I left for Minneapolis. When wholly recov- 

 ered, about the middle of January, I went to 

 Denver, Colo., where I remained until May, when 

 I returned to St. Paul. I left Billings May 15 for 

 my new ranch on the Grey Bull, riding my old 

 horse, purchased at the mouth of the Musselshell 

 from Pike Landusky, which had carried me over 

 many a mile of prairie and mountain. We reached 

 my ranch on the Grey Bull River May 30. I had 

 engaged J. Bradley and his wife to live with me, 

 and we shortly moved into the buildings which 

 Corey had finished, and took formal possession. 

 I lived on that ranch until the fall of 1904, 

 twenty-one years.
