The subject of the statue is actually Ed Bayne, local legendary American Legion baseball coach.

Yes this was the old stage stop. It was a layover station.

That wasn't the school. It was a dance hall. When I was young we used to crawl under the floorboards looking money dropped from the old 'dime-a-dances' they used to have there.

The school was across the road and burned down sometime in the early 1980's

The last wild, free ranging wolf in Montana was hunted down and killed in 1930 in the Stanford, MT area. He was preserved and placed in a glass case. For many decades he was on display in the County Courthouse. He is now in a downtown mall in Stanford with some other historical displays. From the time that cattle succeeded the buffalo (from the early 1880's) it was an article of faith that the wild wolf caused so much cattle loss that he had to be hunted to extinction. The state and cattle associations paid bounties on dead wolves. Many a successful rancher got cash to go into the cattle business by working as a "wolfer".
