Female Vigilantes.
From the Virginia City Chronicle.

From the Virginia City Chronicle.
1t is BEGINNING to be suspected that a
sort of Vigilance Committee exists among
the married ladies of this city, the OBJ
ject of which is to keep husbands away
from gambling games. Night before
last one of them walked into saloon
along G street, looked about for time,
and, without,saying a word, went out.
She was probably skirmishlng for the
main body. The masculine Vigilance
Committee of our town is known as
"'6O1;' the feminine is therefore more
likely "106." When husband is spot
ted he is quietly marched away and
taken before the grand tribunal in the
secret hall of the committee, where he is
hauled over the Goals: A man who was
thus marched away the other ight says
he is not at liberty to tell: all that hap
pened to him, but relates that while on
the march he was suddenly blindfold.a
and presently, when the bandage was re
moved from his eyes, found himself in a
large room filled with masked women
There he saw and heard things so fearful.

ing day. t.. -.
