A Descriptive Scene Of Dead Mans
Flat During Early Days.

One day rich by the sweat Of their
brow, the next heggared BY the turn
of a card or the dice, they swore, they
gambled, they killed each other. Foul
blasphen1y, the crack Of the ever
ready revolver, the death-cry Of an
other victim, were the sounds that
now rent the air, accompanied by the
click Of the gambling-vheel and the
shrill-piping music Of the dance
houses. For three months the bar
continued to yield its millions; the
population doubled, trebled, till final
y nearly every white manin Montana
was to be found in Dead Mans Flat.
Millions were taken from the insig-
nifcant stretch Of accumulated sand;
when suddenly one dark, tempestuous
night the end came; a frcshet, caused
by the wasteful devastation Of the
forests that clothed for many miles
the impending mountain slopes,
broke down the confning dam Of a
natural reservoir higher up the glen,
sending huge volumes Of water down
the narrow raEine, where It swept eF-
erything before it. In five minutes
nothing was left ofthe city. Gam
bling bells, whisky saloons and dance
houses shared the fate Ct the fumes,
Washing-c cradles, and other costly ap-
ptiances. But the western man is Of
an elastic character, and reyerses only
goad him to further energy. Before
daylight divulged the whole extent Of
the devastation the food hadwrought,
the building up Of a new city-this
time not Of tiimsy tents, but OF sub
stantial struotures-had actually be
gun. Bat the rays Of dawn had news
in store which once for all settled the
fate Of Dead Mans Flat. The bar
was gone! With the city, with the
gamblers tools and the whisky bar
rels, had been swept away the gold
bearing sand-bank. The same pro
cess Of nature that in ages gone by
had deposited the aurifefous bank
had now spirited it away. The fol
lowing week there was not a living
soul left III the deserted camp. To
the dead IN their graveyard. which
latter, from its elevated position, had
not suffered, was left the Inheritance
of Dead Mans Flat, purchased by
them with their life's blood.
In twenty years time, nature, ever
healing, rejuyenating, would cast her
cloak Of forgetfulnes5 over the sorry
gashes mans hand had worked. Al
ready a new army Of trees was spring
ing up and closing with youthful
vigor the sad gaps cut into their fore
fathers rank and file.
