bles Pollinger and Scales arrested the
men. and at the preliminary, on Shell
don's testimony to the effect that he
recognized among his assailants Sisle-,
Lavander, and Lafoon. the two last
were held. Cole gave bail, but as the
others could not furnish the requisite
bond they were committed to Jail.
The charge against the men is as

means not less than one nor more two
years in the penitentiary.
The Monitor of last Saturday had the
following account of the assault.
About two weeks ago, Il woman and
four children were removed to this
place from Iron Rod. a man named
Fred Sheldon bringing the family and
their effects in a wagon which he hired
at Joe Albert's livery stable. They
occupied the building between Mrs.
Pennington's millinery store and the
assay Office, and nothing extraordinary
occurred to attract attention until
Wednesday evening, When Sheldon,
who had been working for Dir. Pease.
and was about to go to work for VIM.
Trostle, was standing in the Club saloon
watching 4 game of poker which was
in progress. About 10 o'clock. man
came in, tapped him on the shoulder
and called him outside. AS soon as he
reached the sidewalk. seven or eight
men jumped on him, choked him to
prevent any Outcry, and after a brief
scutfle threw him into wagon and
drove rapidly away over the Beaver
head river. The night was dark, all
houses except the saloon were closed,
and the only witness to the outrage
was Charley Bartrutf, who had just
locked up his place and was about to
start out for home. when it occurred,
but he was too far away to recognize
any of the kidnapping gang. However
he came over and gave the alarm, tel
ling what had happened, and saying
that the victim attempted to shout as
the wagon crossed the bridge, but was
evidently being strangled into silence.
On account of the darkness pursuit was
out of the question, and the players re-
sumed their game. Bartruff again
started for home, and on his way went
to his place to make sure he had closed
it securely. Just as he had satisfied
himself on that score wagon, con-
tanning some eight or ten men. came
dashing down River street, and turning
northward went toward the Jefferson
valley with headlong speed. During
The Madisonian. (Virginia City, Mont.) 1873-1915, 1896-10-17

the night the doings of the men and
the fate of Sheldon were enshrouded in
mystery: but next morning Sheldon
showed up, and told that his captors
had taken him short distance beyond
the Orphans home. where they took off
his shirt and deluged him with tar.
On being asked the cause of the act. he
said that he had been accused of break
ing up the family of Will Latfoon. a
laborer who has been living in the val
ley for about three years. He said
there was no truth in the accusation.
and that all the relations he has had
with the woman were that she had done
washing for him when he lived at Iron
Rod, and had been employed to bring
| the family to Twin Bridges, as above
stated. Later. the woman. Mamie
LatfOOn, was seen and cOrrObOrated
Sheldon's statement, and added that
she had never given Will. her husband
! any cause for jealousy, whatever: that
Laffoon was an idle, thriftless fellow,
! who would not provide for his family,
and that she had been compelled to
support the children by washing until
she was almost broken down. LatfOOn
came to town soon after and his version
| of the case was entirely different. He
accused his wife of infidelity and gen
eral dissolute conduct, and claimed
that he worked whenever he could get
work to do, and had always amply pro-
vided for his family. He denied hav-
ing been implicated in the shanghaing
of the night before, and at first profes-
sed no knowledge of it. but subsequent
! ly admitted that ''some of his friends
might have done something about it,

They claim that Sheldon had broken
up the home of VIM. LafOOn: that after
having accomplished his base purpose
he pursuaded Mrs. Latfoon to leave
her husband and accompany him to
Twin Bridges.
Mrs. Lafoon, who is said to be quite
a handsome young woman. denies fatty
the unchaste imputations directed at
her. She says she was forced to leave
her husband because he had abused
her, and that he had neglected to pro-

The silver club, which was to have
been organized last Saturday evening.
did not materalize. Quite number of
enthusiasts gathered at Armory hall
Saturday evening. but locked door
barred their way and the unlighted
building proclaimed that there had
a miscue.
Tom Farrell, who was one of the
principal promoters of the club propo-
sition. had been called out of town
Saturday and his exit from the city
was of such haste that he did not have
the time nor opportunity to make the
necessary preliminary arrangements.
That's the story of the locked door
and the dark building. Now for the
sequel.
Mr.. Farrell was very much chag-
rined when he returned to the city and
learned the condition of affairs. and he
resolved upon doing something forth
with. His idea Of a silver club is that
it should be medium through which
money might De raised for the cause of
the white metal, so he acted accord
ingly. He drew upa subscription pa
per and accompanied by Julian A.

Messrs. Farrell and Knight did some
tall hustling with splendid effect.

many were not seen on the proposition
on account of limited time. Before the
banks closed New York draft was
purchased, and after the draft was
bought there were a number of volun-
tary cOntributitns declined.
The draft was enclosed with the fol-
lowing letter to Hon. w. r. Hearst, of
