NO VIGILANTE NOTICES
Captain Dotson and His Family
Not Warned to Leave.
THEY RESENT REPORTS
The Aged Captain Says No Such Notices
as Reported Were Posted on
His Premises = He Is
Indignant.

Captain William Dotson and his son-in-
law, William Cachelin, are indignant that
the report should have been sent out
from the vicinity of Washington gulch
and printed in the Standard that their
houses had been decorated with 3-7-77 no.
tices.
It will be remembered that on Nov. Z
the Standard printed a dispatch from
Avon In which it was stated that people
from the vicinity of American and Wash
ington gulches had reported that these
notices had been posted on the doors of
the two residents named. Everybody in
Montana knows what these notices-rel-
les Of viglante days-mean. 1t Is "quit
the country or take the consequences"
when they go up.
s@f There seemed good ground for the be-
lief that the report was true. Captain
Dotson's son had been convicted Of this
murder Of Eugene Cuilinane, respected
resident of American gulch, and the cap
tain was known to have enemies in the
vicinity.
But said the captain yesterday, "ns
such notices were posted on our houses.
/ have three houses on my land there,
but know Of no such Inscription being
placed on any OF lHeH OF on WI. Cacne-
Inns premises.
1T is true, l have some enemies in
that vicinity. / aroused the, enmity OF
some by purchasing railroad land whcN
others had settled upon, and by taking up
government land.
'In doing these things acted entirely
within my rights as an American citizen.
All my life l have tried to live an hon
orable and upright life, and have reared,
as I thought, an honorable family. NO
man can say aught against me- For
seven years have lived in the part o,
the country where, l now live; own
property there and it is my home. My
dealings with, others have been fair ana
just In view of these circumstances it
seems to me both cruel and unjust THAI
such stories as these should be circulated
about me and my family The reports
are false and baseless and can be con-
ceived only in malice.
II am thankful that have friends here
in Anaconda who know me and know
there is no truth in the stories that have
gone out"

Government had decided to Withdraw
its support of the mail service from
Vancouver, he said, with the idea of
increasing its subsidy to the Oceanic
Steamship Company. The next SEES

ALLOWED A SAILOR TO DROWN

Captain of the B. F. Packard is Ac-
cused of Serious Offenses.
NEW YORK, April 11.-Captain Z.
Allen of the ship Benjamin F. Packard
is charged with sailing away from a
drowning man at sea while runnin 6
from Port Townsend to Hongkong.
Harry Page, supposed to be well con-
nected in New York, is the man
drowned, and Hiram Smith, Edward
McDonough and Edward Jackman, sail
ors who were discharged from the ship
in China, but later made their way
here, make the charges.
Page fell from the fore rigging on
July 18th last, and according to the
men, it was perfectly calm and mid
day. They say Captain Allen was call
ed up on deck, but no orders to lower
a boat were given and the ship was not
put about. They have told their story
to Proctor George w. Dease, who will
draw up the complaint against Captain
Allen. They assert that it was prac-
tically murder.
On their own behalf they charge that
they were treated with shocking cruel
ty during the voyage across the Pacific.
Captain Allen in defense of his action
says that Page was taken with a fit
in the rigging and sank when he
come about would have been useless.
