The Sacred Buffalo Vision by Robert J. Juneau and Robert C. Juneau pg.151
Kicks were made to Washington D.C.,
and inspectors would be sent from there to Browning. This Inspector would be
met at the depot by the Agency cars and he would be dined and toasted by Campbell and his pets. Mr.
Inspector would be motored out to see a prosperous looking rancher on Milk River
(a handy tool of the sheepmen) but Mr. Inspector does not know that this ranch
is mortgaged beyond redemption, that the cattle and sheep seen grazing on the
hillsides belongs to the Fryes, but Mr. Inspector does not have to know that.
The next day he motors out to Heart Butte district to look at the ranch of
another pet, who has new machinery, ten or fifteen head of dirty looking sheep
laying around the door yard, a five acre field of frosted wheat, and plenty of
grub (sent by the Office the day before). A picnic would be held by the
visiting on the banks of a mountain stream covered with a luxurious growth of
wild grasses and flowers, the result of long cold winters and deep snows, but
the Inspector does not think of that.
