About [[May 11 1880]], Hank joined a party of travelers (includes [[John Roberts]]) headed by Granville Stuart, and was hired with $40 to accompany them for the remainder of the journey. Stuart was scouting range land and had covered most of the area between the Bighorn and Tongue Rivers. Now they were heading north for Flatwillow and the Musselshell range. They reached Flatwillow [12 May 1880]] and scouted the area north of there. On [[198 May 1880]] the four "land scouts" rode westward to the divide between McDonald Creek and the Judith Basin. 12 miles beyond they came to the settlement of Red River Metis who had plowed and planted crops. They went through Judith Gap and by [[22 May 1880]] they arrived at Martinsdale, at the forks of the Musselshell. The town had four or five houses, but they found 30 soldiers. Stuart paid his three companions and waited two days for the stage to Helena.
