GILMAN, Nov. 28. Oliver Bernier. 92, pioneer rancher who came to Mon tana with an cx train In 1866, died at his- home here Thursday. AWhen he left his home at Kanka kee.

111- with Montana as his des tination. It was possible to travel by train only as far as St. Louis. The overland Journey from St. Louis to this state required three months.

It was July when the ox train reached Virginia City. Some members of the train Immediately went to prospecting but voung Bernier ob tained work in helping construct the telegraph line from Salt Lake City to Virginia City and later drove freight teams loaded with fruit from th Mormon capital to Montana. Two years later he drifted to Boze man, where he worked for six years for Bud McAdoo, obtaining enough money to purchase a small ranch ad joining the Nelson Story property. He did teaming at this time for soldiers at Fort Ellis. It was on one of his trips for the fort that he passed over the Custer battlefield where still laid unburied some Custer's 250 slaughtered soldiers who were killed by 10.000 of Sitting Bull's warriors.

These he helped to Dury. Kill Several Indians -me next summer a number Bozeman settlers discovered all of tneir horses gone. They tracked them. and found them driven at a breakneck speed by eight Indians. Bernier ana nis companions opened fire on the Indians and terrified them so tnat they forget to drive the stolen norses across the Yellowstone, but instead plunged In themselves.

Only iwo reacnea tne opposite shore. The bodies of the other six were later wasbed ashore. They were riddled by bullets. In 1878 Oliver Bernier becama a freighter from Fort Benton to Helena It was on one of those trips, while camped at Sun River, that all mules or the outfit were stolen. This time they tracked the mules to Canada to sitting Bull camp near Wood mountain.

They had an Interpreter with them and also a number of canaaian mounted nolice. When they made known their mu- sion to sitting Bull through the in terpreter, tne chief let out a loud yell and started gesturing to his braves. In a few hours, horses, mules and Draves came in In larger numbers man tnese wmte men Had ever seen and Sitting Bull allowed them to pick oui tneir stolen mules. The tritv to Canada had. however held up the freight train for four months and when they finally reached Helena there was much re joicing, especially by a girl who would not get married until her trunk ar rived from Fort Benton.

Buys a Sawmill Mr. Bernier was forced to eive no freighting in 1882, when he dislocat ed his left shoulder in a runaway, The injury was a handicap to him all his life, for the doctor who treated him. thinking his shoulder was broken, bandaged it for that instead of springing the arm back into place. in ibh4 ne bought a sawmill at Lyons creek, and it was at his mill that much of the timber used in early day bridges and for Great Northern tunnels in the Prickly Pear canyon was sawed. At thi3 time he also took up a homestead on Flat creek which he 6old to a son when he retired 15 years ago.

He Increased his holdings ny Duymg a lew small ranches and be gan raising cattle. Until 1919 he was one of the leading cattlemen of the county. In 1837 he was married to Mary Manoney at Helena. They immediately made their home on Flat creek where five children were born. In 1913 a son.

Dan, died while a student at Bozeman, and in the fall of the same year Mrs. Bernier died. Survivors are four children, Mrs Tad LaRock or Wolf Creek, Mrs. Harvey Rlsley of Gilman. Richard Bernier oi Helena and waiter Bernier or au gusta.

Several grandchildren and two great-grandchildren also survive. Funeral arrangements will be an nounced later. Pilot Is Wounded by Bullet While Flying Over Texas BRYAN. Nov. 28.

iP A marksman with a high powered rifle wounded George Barnes Jr. as the youth and a companion. Byron Black, flew In an open cockpit airplane over a wooded area near here today. Barnes, son of the livestock specialist of the Texas A. and M.

college extension service, was taken to a hos pital here with a bullet wound near his heart. Physicians said the wound was serious, but that he probably will recover. Black said he and young Barnes, an amateur photographer, were en-route to the Texas A. and M. college to photograph from the air the an nual Thanksgiving day football game between the cadets and Texas university.

He said the ship was approximately 800 feet in the air when bul lets crashed through the fuselage. Strong Syracuse 1 1 Ties With Maryland BALTIMORE. Nov. 28. ting up a desperate battle which kept them far ahead for three quarters.

the University of Maryland held fa vored Syracuse university to a score less tie today in a downpour of rain. About 5,000 fans saw the muddy fray. Maryland was never once in diffi culty until the final period when Syracuse blocked and recovered one of Guckeyson's quick kicks on Mary land's own 37. An exchange of punts signaled the start of a Syracuse 48- yard goalward drive, led by Vannle Albanese, Orange fullback. The attack bogged down on Mary land's 12 and Syracuse lost the ball on downs after a futile pass turned up an eight-yard Fire Razes Hotel SAN BERNARDINO.

Nov. 28. (U.R) The entire business section of this historic metropolis was menaced for a time early today as the worst fire in 20 years razed the landmark Stewart hotel and drove 30O guests and employes from their beds. Whitetail Wins WHITETAIL, Nov. 28.

The White- tail high school basketball team opened it season with a 14 to 7 victory over rientywood, The calendar of cases scheduled for trial during the current Jury term of the Cascade county district court has been materially shortened, with a total of 35 cases disposed ot since Nov. 12. when the Jury term commenced. An average of three cases have been removed from the calendar dally since Babson Says (Continued From Page One) has advanced 160 percent and 11 per cent, respectively. 2.

Corporation profits Earnings of many leading companies have made tremendous gains In 1935. A few concerns have actually made more money this year than In any other year In their history, even though their volume of business has not been the greatest. This Is due to Increased efficiency, elimination of overhead, labor saving machinery and operating economies all along the line. Many of these efficiency however, are temporarily Increasing unemployment and. hence, may have a 3.

Dividends With better business and bigger profits, dividend Increases have been one of the features of 1935. Within the last week, several of the biggest corporations In the country have declared extra dividends. Many companies are making small payments today where a year ago nothing was being given to the stockholders. This Is a big psychological factor for Investors like to feel their securities are at least "earning their keep." Investors, however, should make sure whether their dividends are coming from current earnings or from surpluses earned years 4. Monev rates Another big Influence on the market Is the low yield on bonds, savings bank deposits and other forms of Investment.

Many investors Vday figure they have little to gain and much to lose by buying high grade bonds and by building up savings accounts. They prefer to buy sound common stocks of well established companies with a good record. This la a sensible reason for the present rise lu stock quotations, 5. Posstbilitv of Inflation While the stock market has been pushing into new high ground in the last few months, the bend advance has been faltering. I suppose the reason for this Is that Investors holding lixea Income securities are protecting themselves against a rise In the cost of living that will come either through artificial currency Inflation or through a natural business boom.

Hence, Investors, to be hedged, are shifting a certain percentage of their bond funds Into common stocks, In many cases this Is a wise move. 6. Returning confidence New records for power production, new highs for steel operations, capacity production for woolen mills and automobile factories, plant expansion by big companies and other good news Is break-in; every day. Wages are increasing, salaries are being boosted and profits of small businesses are better. Confidence that the depression Is definitely over Is spreading throughout the country.

This is very Important and means that some time within tne next year cr two some stocks should pel! at double or treble their present prices. 7. New taxes Congress last summer passed surtaxes and capital gains taxes that are practically confiscatory. These taxes may take as much as 50 percent or more of the capital gains on stock transactions from very wealthy Investors. The natural result Is that such Investors are reluctant to sell.

Apparently, the government lias adopted "sanctlocs" against the selling cf stocks. 8. Hrokers loans Just before the crash. In 1929. brokers' loar.s totaled f3.

549.000. 000, while the figure is only $792,000,000 today. This clearly Indicates that speculation has not run rife. Securities are In strong hands and are being held for the "long pull" rather than for speculative purposes. In some special cases there may be lame blocks of stock hanging ovor the market but In general stocks have been bought outright In this current rise.

Conclusion Congressional bombast and campaign mud slinging may cause temporary declines over the next year but basic business gains ultimately dictate the trend of stock prices. The latter are 250 percent above the lows of July, 1932, but they are still only 60 to 70 percent of the average price from 1923 to 1929. My studies over a period of 30 years fall to show a single Instance where a major upward swing In stocks collapsed while business was still below normal on the Eabsonchart. This week's reading on the latter shows that, while buiness Is 21 percent above a year ago, it Is still 16 per cent below normal. So I am still bullish on the "long pull" for a carefully selected list ol stocks.

Even such a list, however, should constantly be watched by competent people. Fred Destlche, 55, Dies Here Thursday Fred Destiche. 55, of 1409 Ninth avenue touth died Thursday afternoon.

Nearly 75 percent of all cases removed from the calendar were disposed of by Judges H. H. Ewlng and W. H. Meigs without Juries being utilized.

Since opening of the Jury term, five cases have been continued for the term, six defendants pleaded guilty, thereby eliminating Jury trials; six cases were dismissed, five cases were tried by the court without Juries, four cases were vacated, one case was dismissed by the court after a Jury trial commenced and eight actions were tried before Juries. The disposal of criminal prosecu tions, scheduled for trial before Juries, has been rapid, and this was largely due to the fact that a number of defendants to such actions pleaded guilty after Initially pleading not guilty. Due to the rapid disposal of cases. services of Jurymen, were not re quired Wednesday. Thursday the court enjoyed a holiday due to Thanksgiving day being a Judicial holiday as well as a state holiday.

15 Unlawful Vending of Liquor Causes Dealer Complaint Special to The Tribune. WILLISTON. N. Nov. 28.

A protest against the Illegal sale of hard liquor was voiced here this week by spokesmen of the 20-odd licensed beer dispensers of Willlston. who started a movement to memorialize the city commission for permission to sell such liquors In order to enabie them to continue in business, alleging in a public statement that the illicit sale of whisky Is "forcing a legalized business to the wall." and charging that this traffic is being carried on by Individuals outside of the beer business, but that the beer dealers are being blamed for the resulting drunkenness. No appearance was made-before the city commission at this week's meeting, the beer men apparently realizing that the sale of hard liquors can not be authorised tinder existing North Dakota laws. It is evident, however, that they hope by their protest to bring about more rigid enforcement of all liquor laws In the community. Asserts Austria Complying With Terms of Treaty VIENNA.

Nov. 28. GP Baron Egon Berger-Waldenegg, foreign minister, told the federal diet today that Austria will not take advantage of the opportunity to make war profits through nonparticlpatlon in League Of Nations' sanctions. "We will not misuse our special position," he said. He recalled that the treaty of peace concluded at the end of the World war forbade the exportation of war materials and munitions from Austria, and said "observation of these treaty stipulations Is being watched by the government." Austria is in effect abiding by the sanctions, the foreign minister added, because the country's trade balance with Italy is favorable and money therefore flows from Italy to Austria.

Light music was banned from dance halls and concerts.

Steel wed ding rlng3 were substituted for gold Theater programs were drastically curtailed. At the same time, the Bank of Italy increased the purchase price of gold, which, experts said, was equivalent to about 20 percent Internal devaluation. All items in the program had one objective to strike back at sanction-lst countries and to win quickly the war of conquest against Ethiopia. The works of all playwrights of sanctionist countries, with a few ex- ceptlons, were banned from Italian theaters. Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw were excepted, as were certain French authors yet unlisted.

Only certain French works will be permitted on Italian lyrical stages, while for concerts, only certain French and Spanish music may be played in addition, of course, to Italian compositions. No "light music" will be permitted at any Italian concert or dance hall. Actors, musicians and artists from sanctionist countries were forbidden to work in Italy, except for occasional special permits which may be granted French artists. To conserve electricity and fuel, all amusement houses were ordered to finish their programs before 11:45 p. m.

Italian citizens continued to surrender, by one of the three methods, their gold to the government. Gold crosses, chains and rings came from the clergy and lay public, with prominent churchmen leading the movement. A plan was approved whereby couples getting married surrender the gold wedding ring to the priest. In its place he supplies a steel ring furnished by fascist authorities and after the ceremony, the gold ring is promptly given to the state.
