the young LADY, and proposed to $50
through" him, but he possessed more
pluck than they bargained for and showed
fight, when the brutal scoundrels shot the
young man. The two desperadoes were
captured, imprisoned, taken from prison
and hanged, all within the space of twenty
four hours. Having their hands in, the
citizens thought it best to make clean
sweep and another murderer who was lin
gering in durance vile and on whose case
the execution was slow to act, was also
brought out and hanged with the other
two. Since then the good people of
Seattle have had no trouble, the fraternity
of the free lance having left the city.
Lynching leads me to mention that
spot was shown me where formerly stood
the hapgman's tree of Helena. This tree
it was stated bore more than one stark
corpse dangling between heaven and earth
in the early camp days of Helsna's event
full history. 1t was the custom of
the vigilance committee to place the
mystic numbers 3777 upon
the door post of the obnoxious parson and
if he had not cleared in twenty-four hours
The history of this tree is singular. It,was
said that after the first hanging, the tree
unaccountably died and it was to one of
the brawny giant arms of this gaunt dead
trunk that the victims of peoples just
vengeance were strung. A Clergyman, a
Rev. Sheppard, I was told, often assem-
bled his flock beneath the terrible ghost of
of forest king, and forcibly addressed
L ieb, a,,t
to the evil doer, and would say the tree
should be for all time held in veneration
as the savior of Helena from lawles mob.
During cold winter, however, think
year ago-when fuel was saroe, this very
christian sxhorter cut down the CHASTITY
memorial of rude justice and converted it
into fuel. 1t had served to warm many
discourse and fire the preachers heart,
and at length it served to fire his stove
and warm his hearth.
FOREST FIRES.
Speaking of fires again reminds me of
something omitted. On our way from
Seattle to Tacoma we passed in
the evening between shutdown and
the moons appearing forest on fire. 1t
was magnificent sight; column after col
umn of straight, towering frs were all
aglow like the interior of white hot fur
mace. There was no flame but the columns
of radiating, glowing heat-pure white
and intense orange over which from
the occasional fathomless blackness there
at times arose filmy veil of smoke, en-
veloping the fiery sentinels as with
ghostly shroud-looked like a host of spec
trail demons freshly issued from the beloh-
inc furieS of internal fires
AT BISMARCK.
We have arrived at Bismarck and on the
platform is an immense gathering of Da-
kotans-the first time on our return trip
that we have been SO greeted; but few
moments, however, suficed to show that
the Willard party had not called out the
good citizens. They had gathered to do
homer to the judge who had projected the
famous decision which appeared to stag
ger, if it did not crush, the hopes of the
citizens of the northern portion of the ter
ritory. Gov. Ordway was there and he
remarked to the G1oBEIcorrespondent, you
may tell Judge Edgerton he need
not have feared; the people of Bismarck
would have been glad to have seen him
and shaken hands with him. The follow
ing notice was served upon the people of
Bismarck by some of the passengers on
our train:
''The good citizens of Bismarck are re-
| spectfully requested to reserve their dead
cats and rotten eggs; for Judge Edgerton
| is not on board. He got off at Livingston
and concluded to proceed by way of
mule team to his friends at Yankton."
A for NH 1cfo nrlr ct
Bismarck and we are now fastening on our
way to the undisputed terminus of this
wonderful road. Night has set in with
Egyptian darkness; the wind is bowling at
our windows; the rain is falling in tor
rents-the first real rain we have seen on
this memorable trip. A few hours and
this gigantic pleasure outing will be at an
end and the great opening of the North
ern Pacific railroad will have become a
part of history and it will
occupy a page in the
annals of nations unequalled and unri-
vailed from cover to cover, as it will hold
an ever bright spot in the memory of each
and all who have taken part in it. There
never has been and it is doubtful if there
ever will be such another demonstration
and brilliant feat-the feat of carrying
some 400 passengers over the most roman
tic and one of the longest lines in the
world, sleeping them comfortably, feeding
them sumptuously, winning them royalty,
and supplying them with every necessary
they might wish or the most capricious de-
mand. And this, too, without any serious
accident or inconvenience. Waited upon
by thoroughly disciplined set of servants,
obliging, assiduous in their attentions and
civil, aud the sections placed under the
management of such gentlemen as Mr..
Smalley, of New York, and Mr.. Hillman,
of New York the guests could be no other
than comfortable. The universal satisfac-
ton given by the different officers was ev-
idenced again tonight in the presentation
of our car of $25 to Mr.. Libby, conductor
of the dining car. This is the second do
nation made him, the first being on the
outward trip, ZIP.
