CHICAGO. Feb. 6.--Advices from Missouri,
Montana Territory, mark last Sunday as the
6loodiest day ever known at that territory.
For many weeks past spirit of lawlessness
has prevailed and robbery and murder have
relgned supreme. Citizens were terrorized and
the edicts of the courts defied until the people,
being driven to desperate measures, a vigilance
committee was organized with great secrecy,
and last Sunday night four desperadoes, three
OF whom were known as Ohio Dan. Blondy
and Ensight, we've arrested. The three named
were hanged without ceremony; and fourth,
whose name is unknown, was riddled with bull
let's. At another camp near Weeksvilea sim
liar drama was enacted, three men, whose
names are unknown, being hanged simultane-
ousy on the same tree. The victims were left
swinging by the ayenging vigilantes TO prevent
the possi bility of their return to life. To-day
witnessed the hanging of three more rnffians,
whose many crimes had rendered them unfit to
live in the opinion of these stern administra-
tors of frontier Justice.
