BITTER, CF. HEX'S BAD MAN.
Iha Original Citizen Who Made Life
Miserable for the People.
From t!ve San Fitt ?('■/..C0 Examiner.
Nay, hail I the power I'd pour
T!: I- sweet milk ot' Concord into he'd,
Uproar the universal lienee.
Confound all unity on earth.
“1 admit that I m:t from Bitter Creek,”
Olid W. K. Robbins tit the Russ House yes
terday. **l can’t help it. 1 wils from there,
anil now can’t very well got away for keeps.
Besides, why should I? I am doing very
well tlmro and like the place.
"But I get a littlo weary. Everywhere I
go when I put down my name the tool clerk
gjiys:
•* ‘Oh, aha! You'r the Bad Man from Bit
ter Creek, are you;’
“These tilings malto me weary! Now to
the idiotic clerks aud others, perhaps, who
make the remark", but awfully old to me.
“You say you hall' supposed this Bitter
frock, or at least the Bad part of it,
t- .he hypothetical ? Not a bit or it. Con
sult your map. You’ll find one Bitter
Creek' in Wyoming, two in Arizona, one,
ami possibly two, m Utah, one in Montana,
and one in California. Almost all are small
streams, or they would l>c called rivers, ;ts
you may suppose.
“Well the genuine and historic stream is
in southwestern Montana, and that's where
I hail from. The ereeic is 110 miles long,
ami empties into the Clark’s Fork of the
Columbia. *
“The bad man was a fellow named Jim
Yount, tin exceedingly rocky individual,
who came there in very early times from
Tennessee. Nobody knew the exact date,
for he was ahead of most everybody else.
He was none of your ‘mild-mannered’ sort
„f men as Slade was represented to be.
t iriginallv in Tennessee, I suppose he was a
Knob-hlUer, aud as he grew older he rapidly
grew 'tvoi'M 1 .
“Upon my word, he was tho most vicious,
vindictive man I ever hoard of. He fairly
learned his title. We heard he was a mur
derer in Tennessee of three boys, playmates
school whom ho didn’t like. He sloped to
Missouri aud knifed ah old gentleman, in
whose employ he was, because the old man
insisted on his getting up at 7 o’clock in the
morning. .
“He biassed ms way m this manner pretty
effectually to the West. Ono of his first
deeds, which the pioneers of Montana recol
lect, was tho shooting off of both oars of a
bull-whacker by Jim
“Jim saw him driving along, and re
marked to a friend that he thought he
could make a center-shot on the teamster's
big ear. The friend doubted it, and he let
her go. He struck the auditing apparatus
plum in the middle. Before the teamster
could clap his hand on the shot ear whack
went a ball through the other one.
“The bad man then asked the bull-whacker
if he didn't want him to present him with a
couple of earbobs, since he had such nice
round holes to put them in.
.j 'His next deed was to burn a school
house —some twenty miles away. He
claimed the children made faces at him as
he was going along one day, aud he'd be
hanged If he’d have such kids to grow up to
know any more than he did.
“In a dispute with two Confederates about
some stolen horses in ’6O, a year after this
school house, he killed both of them, took
all the stock and gobbled their money. He
didn’t even bury tne fellows, but left their
bodies lying only fifty yards or so from tho
corral.
“But his best hold was in the saloons.
He’d drink a barrel of whisky every few
days—no soft drinks for him—whisky every
time. He had a bleared, blotched face, that
looked like a chrotno, and his oaths and
language in general was something fright
ful to hoar.
“I don’t recollect a crime in those early
days that he didn't commit. He held up
stages, stole bullion and robbed mails witli
impunity. Nobody molested him. Every
body feigned not to know' who did it, and
everybody went around cringingly asking
Jim as thev patted him on the back, to take
a drink. Quite often- he’d get mad at this
even, and tell them to have a care how they
came slobboring around him or he’d shoot
the tops of their beads off.
“Jim played many brilliant engagements
cf this sort around Virginia City, in Mon
tana, Boulder City and other places. His
Bitter Creek ranch was only a rendezvous
for him, a sort of a central or pivotal point,
where he and fellow thieves rounded up
then- stolen horses and cattle.
“Jim ran along for several years in this
way, cutting, shooting and killing until he
boasted himself that two graveyards
wouldn’t hold the people that he had laid
away. *
“In ’67, however, Jim made one trip too
often to Helena. He had made his record
over there. But the rich placers had drawn
a host of bad men there, and one night
when Jim drew his artillery in Tom Best’s
gambling dive and began to lay on right and
left he got a ball in his heart’ that forever
fixed him:
“Of tne crowd, though, he killed four
first and maimed for life three or four more.
He was buried out in the foothills near
Helena, and for a long time and until it rot
ted away a plain pine board marked his
grave and bore tho inscription:
THE BAD MAN FROM BITTER CREEK.
“I think Jim was about 40 years old when
he was rounded in. It was a glad day for
Bitter Creek and a joyful one for Helena,
which for a long time boasted that it had
tucked our baa man away under the
daisies.
“Now, you might think that our region is
full of such citizens as Jim, but it is not so.
We are now, at least, a quiet, peaceable
community, devoted to ranching and agri
culture. It would do you good to visit Bit
ter Creek.”
SAMUEL FROST’S BRAIN.
His Death Reveals Why for Years He
Wore His Hat by Day and by N ght.
From (he San Francisco Chronicle.
Just at the close of the recent session of
the State Medical Society Dr. Albert Chase,
of this city, arose and requested a moment's
attention. He uurapjied a newspaper and
fondly drew forth a human skull, in the
crown of which was a large jagged hole.
The doctor said that the skull was formerly
thut of a friend of his, who had boon toma
hawked and scalped by Indians while cross
ing the plains in pioneer days, but surviving
his injuries ho had lived ten years.
Dr. Chase considered the case one of the
most remarkable on record. From a
scientific point of view the skull refuted
many common theories regarding the brain,
and was a complete contradiction of the
science of phrenology. Probably every one
who lived In Sierra comity during the fifties
remembers Samuel Frost, of Frost's mine,
on the divide above Downievillo. Frost is
the man whoso skull is creating a furor in
medical circles. He was a well-known man,
and during the later years of his life was
the owner of a valuable quartz mine. Frost
was known as a man of poworfui physique,
great business ability and energy.
Hut no one ever saw Frost during life
with his hat oir. Indoor* and out of uoors.
at meals and in bed, Frost ulwavs wore his
hat pulled close down over his head. Had
his hat been removed there would have been
revealed a revolting spectacle —r> scalplcss
head, and in the crown of the skuli a jagged
hole about four inches long by three inches
wide, out of which decaying brains pro
truded, protected by no covering except the
felt of the hat. For ten years Frost lived
in tills honditiou, conducting a huge busi
ness with energy and skill. Few even of his
most intimate friend* ever heard his story,
and non* in its entirety, fro* he was very
reticent about this misfortune and of his
life preceding it. His native State was un
known. His story always Imgan when his
party was nearing Fort Laramie. Up to
tliat lime no traces of hostile Indians had
been-observed, and the party hod grown a
little careless. Ore night it camped in a
small, brushy, ynlliy surrounded by low
hills. The cain(iei : s had been asleep a few
horn's when suddenly the Indian w*u’ yell
ftwakwl 'hem, but hardly could they lift
themselves from blteir blankets before they
w ere struck down by thetomahawk and the
Indian knife encircled their scalps. Frost
was sleeping in ono of tho wagons, and was
me at first observed. He saw an Indian
spring from his hoi'sc to scalp a victim, and
took advantage of the opportunity and
leaped on tho Indian’s horse and dashed off
down tho creek. Two pursuers wen*
quickly on his trait. Being without
sours. the redskins yelling and
s.inekius like demons, rapidly coined upon
mm. H.s only weapon was a pistol, and as
tne Indians closed upon him be turned in
Ins saddle and fired. Tho nearagj; of his
pursuers gave his last yell and fell from his
horse. But it. was only a momentary ad
vantage, for the next instant a sharp pain
darted through his shoulder, and ho saw an
Indian arrow-head protruding from Iris
shoulder. With a stoic carelessness of pain
often observed by others in later years, he
broke off the head. and then jerked out the
arrow. Hardly had he done so when he
felt a crushing blow on his bend, and know
tnhttho tomahawk had fulfilled its mission.
>v heu he came to his senses the sun was
shining hotly. lie put his hand to his head
and lelt clotted blood and realized that he
haci been scalped and that his skull was
broken. Then he remembered crawling to
the creek aud attempting to wash the blood
away, and also of creeping back to the camp
and finding the bodies of his comrades lying
dead and scalped. It was several weeks be
fore he again recovered consciousness, when
he found nimself in the hut of an Indian
squaw, who had nursed him. Fie learned
from her that none of the party except him
self had escaped. He remained with the
squaw several months until the scalp had
healed about the skull, and at last joined a
passing party bound for California, and
I thus reached Downieville. Upon the skull
in Dr. Chase’s possession is written, “August
4, 1851,” which the date of Frost’s arrival in
Downieville. He was intelligent, and pos
sessed considerable education, but he never
would allow any one to look at his head,
nor would he ever permit a physician to
attend him. Dr. Chase once requested the
privilege of seeing the wound, but Frost re
fused, and never was attended by a physi
cian.
Frost had a great fondness for strolling
over the hills with his rifle on his shoulder.
To mention the word “Indian” in his pre
sence would call up a cloud of furv in his
face. Frequently h“ was heard to declare
that no Indian could over pass out of his
sight alive. Iu those days an Indian’s life
was not counted for much, and the occa
sional dead bravo found in the woods caused
no inquiry-to be made. In 1861 Frost was
suddenly' stricken with paralysis. While he
had strength ho would permit no one to re
move his hat. In three weeks he died.
“He was buried next day,” said Dr. Chase
to a reporter, “and the next night a post
mortem examination was held by a few phy
sicians, of which I was one. The cause of
science knows no law. AYe saw for the first
time his head. The scalp had been taken off
close down about the cal's and for. lieud.
From this hole in the bone,” pointing to his
friend’s head-piece, “protruded a fungus
mass. This we shaved off iu thin slices to a
depth of about 2 inches, when we found a
piece of the skull bone about the size of a
silver dollar. It had sunken upon the nerves
of the vital organs, thus causing paralysis.”
Nearly the entire middle lobe of the brain
had wasted away, yet Frost was always re
garded as a man of strong intellect. ’ The
remarkable peculiarity of the skull from ti
scientific point of view' is that the rear is
distended. The bone is bulged out appre
ciably by an abnormal development of the
brain in this part, which Dr. Chase argues,
nature required to supply the place of the
lost portions. Another singular fact is that
the distention of the skull is appreciably
greater on the left side than on the right,
in conformity with the fact that more of
the left lobe was destroyed than of the
right. Dr. Chase contends that these facts
show plainly that the upper portion of the
brain being destroyed the lower portions
W'ere developed, and that any one portion
of the brain can perform the functions of
any other. Consequently, he says, the doc
trine of bumps and that certain sections of
tho brain control certain faculties is non
sense.
