...Horn in 1876, Montana has had few major disturbances. But this year Montana's jutting peaks and high, scarred badlands, from Custer Creek to Hell Gate Canyon, have been acting up. Last January a Northwest Airlines Lockheed Zephyr shook off part of its tail structure, plummeted into Bridger Canyon, bringing ten persons to death. Last month the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific's Olympian dived through a trestle into Custer Creek during a cloudburst, killing and drowning 47. Following week the Olympian ran through orders near Roundup, hit a trainload of CCC boys head on, killed...
...Into Billings from Seattle at 2:15 the same morning as the train explosion sailed Northwest Airlines Flight Four, a fast, ten-passenger Lockheed Zephyr transport airplane of the same type as that which crashed in Bridger Canyon six months before. After the Bridger Canyon crash, all such Lockheeds were ordered grounded for correction of an apparently faulty tail surface detail. The man who ordered that grounding was Bureau of Air Commerce Inspector A. L. Niemeyer. Later, all the Lockheed Zephyrs were satisfactorily corrected, were actively in the air again. Last week Inspector Niemeyer himself flew into Billings along with...
Just north of Bozeman, Mont, rears the 9,106-ft. bulk of Bridger Peak, near which years ago was started the Flaming Arrow Dude Ranch. Woodcutters and ranchers working in Bridger Peak's thick fur of timber presently heard the din of Nick Mamer's two motors. Looking up, they spotted the glistening airliner hovering in apparent difficulty over a small clearing. In a twinkling it plunged straight down, bashed its nose into the frozen ground so hard that the plane telescoped like a tin drinking cup. BOOM went the gasoline tank and instantly the wreck...
Explorer Harry St. John Bridger Philby has described the greater part of Yemen as "the worst mapped region of the inhabited globe." Its mountainous valleys are perhaps the most fertile in southern Arabia. Its almost deserted seaport of Mocha has become a synonym for coffee the world around. Coffee is still grown on Yemen's mountains but what little is exported goes through the port of Hodeida...
...Bridger, the famous scout and liar, and his friend Jackson are wonderfully portrayed. The scene where they get "lickered up" together, and then each take a shot at a mug of whiskey perched on the other's head, just to snow that a man can always trust an old friend, is perfect. We fear though that the hero and the villain left us totally unconvinced. Will Banion was about as graceful as the average opera star, and Sam Woodhull was just too lazy to live. The cast was not up to the setting as a whole, and this seems...
