or fear Of mOIestation This utter alb
sence of theft was largely due to the
ease with which gold could be obtained
honestly. Bunches of grass taken
from the hilIsides and vigorously
shaken yielded large quantities of the
precious metal Sixteen thousand
dollars worth of it was obtained in this
way by one man in less than five weeks.
Such was the frank, hearty hospitality
of the time, that a stranger coming to
a miners cabin during the owners alb
sence, might enter, refresh himself
with any meat or drink he could find,
wrap himself up In the miners blankets
and go to sleep feeling sure Of a hearty
welcome when his unknown host should
return.
But toward the end Of 1913 all this
underwent a marked change, which
rapidly grew more radical as time
marched on into 1849. Human leeches
and parasites found their way among
the honest miners. Foreigners fiocked
to the new FL Dorado. Among them
were many Mexicans and Chilians of
the worst possible character. Ticket
Of-leave men from English prisons and
penal settlements abOunded. Then
came the era of rioting, theft, and muir
der. Public feeling was aroused.
The men who assembled at the Cali
fornia engine house on the night of
June 9, 1851, to form vigilance com
mittee, had the precedents set by the
miners yivjdly in their thoughts. At
10 o'clock on the very next evening,
Tuesday, June 10, 1851, as some mem
bers of the committee were patrolIing
along the wharf, they detected a we'll
known thief, named Jenkins, in the act
of committing a burglary. He was
arrested after an exciting chase. Two
taps on the bell of the California en-
CINE house summoned the committee to
their first rendezvous. Two hours
time was spent in trying the case; the
whole affair was characterized by the
utmost decorum and a great show of
! fairness; counsel was appointed to de-
lend the prisoner, and apparently did
all in his power. But the result was q
foregOne conclusion from the first. a
verdict of guilty was rendered, SEN
/ tence of death was pronounced. At 2
o'clock on the morning of Wednesday,
June II, the eXecutiOn-JUdge Lynch's
first in San Francisco took place.
Then came a period of feverish pub
lie excitement. A CorOner's inquest
was held and verdict rendered that
Jenkins had come to a violent death at
/ the hands of certain persOns-al mem
bers of the vigilance committee-whOse
names were given. Then the yigilantes
/ issued a dignifed card, giving the
names of their entire number, and de-
claring themselves all equally impli-
Gated in the execution of jenkins. This
publication was a relief to the public
mind, since the committee had been
/ shown to include the best known and
most reputable citizens, and its de-
clared purpose to purify the moral at
! mOsphere of the city was one with
which the better elements of society
were fully in sympathy.
/ During the remainder of that and In
the two following months the commit
tee was in a state Of constant activity.
It frightened many rogues, banished
many, and hanged three more besides
/ jenkins.

EDITOR OF THE LEADER:

EDITOR OF THE LEADER:
The Ulmites have been quiet but not
idle for the past two or three weeks. We
have been interested in the LEADERS,
letters from the people and think they
help to create a neighborly feeling be-
tween the different sections of the coun-
try. We are not able to chronicle q
"boom" as wonderful as some of our
more fortunate towns--slow but sure is
our motto.
The river closed over last week but the
chinook wind of Saturday opened broad
channel through the center. Mr.. Ulm
has moved his ferry boat around the bend
to remain until spring as the old stand
was straight shot for the ice gorge,
should one occur on the breaking UP of
the river.
People are pretty generally remember
ing their Eastern friends with Christmas
presents. Many localities in the world
contain persons without the real neces-
saries of life but thanks to Providence
and the thrift of the people we think all
can spend pleasant Christmas at Ulm
Eucher parties are the order of the day
and some hidden talent in this popular
game has been unearthed.
Mrs. w. Mulcahy has purchased of G..
johnson something over one hundred

and Lariet gave an exhibition of their
skill, cutting out and branding them
which we had the pleasure of witnessing.

your chute? What is that hole for? were
questions as we noticed an excavation
about eight feet long and six inches deep
provoked a smile all along the line as
one Of the boys replied: We don't need a
shute the calves are put in this hole on
their backs while we brand them. 1t is
needless to state that after keeping tally
about four hours we were somewhat bet
ter posted than at first. MUNDANE.

The following epigrammatic outline of
Hotel Broadwater and the healthful eli
mate of Montana, recently published by
the Troy (N. W Times, is pointed
enough to be interesting at home:
Montana is state. But it is more than
that. 1t is Il state of blessedness.
Mountains?
Yes, its name tells you that.
Valleys?
Certainly. Clutches and canons.
Minerals?
One of natures museums.
Vegetable growth $?
The grazer's paradise on the bottom
ands and forests and on the mountain
l3teeps.
Rivers and railroads?
The former tbs triumph of the Creator,
and the latter the choicest handiwork of
human engineering.
People?
Yes, and most of them with their
hearts not on their sleeves, but in their
hands and open to all.
Anything else?
Verify but mostly climate and hot
springs. The average citizen of Helena
or Great Falls will tell you that we have
a climate that would raise dead man to
life and springs that would keep him
alive forevermore.
FROM ST.. PAUL.
The best way to Great Falls and Hell
ena is by the St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Manitoba railway. That is the one way.
What would you have thought decade
ago of a "St. Paul and Montana express?"
But never mind that. Get aboard. Say
it is 5 o'clock p. m. BY daybreak you
will have passed through the park and
lake country and the famous Red river
valley, which produces such marvellous
crops of wheat and other cereals. Then
