Kipling and Hard Cider.


Maine Sunday schools, having
settled the question of admitting
Kipling's novels to their Libraries,
are wrestling with the proposition
OF whether or not to admit sweet
cider to the bill of fare at the church

diplomat has started the discussion
in order that the cider may have time
to get hard Baltimore American.

The HANGING OF BUNTON
Dave Meiklejohn Tells a Story of
the Vigilantes.
IT WAS IN OLD DEER LODGE
Some Thrilling Circumstances Which
Led Up to a Lynching in the
Early Days OF the
Territory.

The first execution, legal or other
wise, in Deer Lodge county occurred in
the second week in February, 1864. One
forenoon in that week Bill Bunton was
hung by a band of vigilantes number
ing about $50. This much is told in the
History Of the Vigilantes, but the writ
er of that little booklet tells about the
execution of Bunton in a different way
from the story given by the man who
slept with the victim the night before
the hanging. David Meiklejohn, deputy
United States marshal for Montana.
was a room companion of Bunton in
old Cottonwood, now Deer Lodge, and
he knows every bit of the history con-
nected with that tragedy from start to
finish. The account furnished by Mr.
Meiklejohn is in substance as follows:
In the summer Of 1863 Bunton and
Dave Pickett We're living on ranch
known as the Rattlesnake station, Is
miles from Bannack. 1t was a stage
station and stopping place for travellers.
/ was only strap of a boy at the time;
in fact, was one of two of the young
est pioneers in the country. / worked
for Bunton and Pickett for four
months on the ranch, and at the end
Of that time Bunton went to Cotton
wood and I accompanied him. There
he went into the grocery and saloon
business with Cook and Campbell.

know why he was placed there; that
he had committed no crime. 1T may
never be known in this world said he,
but in the next it will be proved that
l never committed crime or an act
unjustified During the course of his
remarks he used no indecent, vile or
discourteous language. He said now
that he was to be hanged he regretted
that he could not jump from precipice
500 feet high instead of making such a
short, uncertain jump. When he was
told that time was up he leaped into
the air; and when he was pronounced
dead his toes touched the ground. The
execution was witnessed by several per-
sons not members of the Vigilantes, and
as soon as the ceremony was over the
band retired and the citizens proceed
ed to cut the body down and bury it.
I'VE placed the body in a wagon and
a dozen or more of US pulled it up the
hill and buried the corpse in the ground
now embraced within the lot upon
which stands the Sisters academy. Mrs.
Pelky, the first white woman in Deer
Lodge county, was keeping house for
Louis Demers and taking care of his
children. AS soon as the hanging was
over she went to the house, got the axe
and cut the beef scaffold down, saying
that never again would man be exc
cuted on that beef windlass.'
In the meantime the vigilantes hsA
given me orders to turn over the 40 or
so head of horses belonging to Bunton
and which l was taking care of. They
confiscated everything the man had.
When they left for Hellgate after more
men to hang, they placed X. Biedler in
charge of the estate, which consisted of
one-third interest in the store and sa-
loon, cabins, personal effects and every
thing he had owned. The interest in
the store and saloon was sold to Bun
toms partners and the proceeds of the
sale confiscated by the vigilantes.
Nov as for the guilt or innocence Of
Bunton.' l will say that / never heard
of a wrong thing he did. 1t was gem
orally known that he had had some
trouble with a man in Walla Walla be-
fore he came to this country, and he
killed his man. But he evidently had
friends there, for in the following fall

some men coming from there. These

which were taken by the vigilantes. He
was man standing six feet two or
three, fine countenance and mustache
which he took great care of, always
wearing it nicely trimmed. He was we'll
liked by every one who knew him. He
came here from Missouri and his folks
lived at Osborne, east of St. Joe, on the
Hannibal & ST. Joe railroad. He was
35 years of age.

a hurry. Tex Crow was asleep in the
saloon and he came to the door with
his siX-shooter in his hand. Tex was,
the summer before, partner of George
Ives, the first man hung by the vigi-
lantes in Montana. He was disarmed
and placed in our company. Together
the four of us were marched down to
the river crossing near the point where
the old bridge stands and put in the
cabin owned by man named Martin.
Shortly after we arrived at the cabin all
were released but Bunton, who was
closely guarded.
AS soon as I was at liberty Bunton
requested me to go to the cabin and
get his gold watch and chain. He had
just the day before told his partner,
Billy Cook, that he intended to give
him the watch for a birthday present.

stead of finding the watch or anything

thing and turned the house topsy

Bunton was held prisoner and at once
informed Captain Moss that his men
had pillaged the place. The captain
called his men together and demanded
that if the watch was in the crowd that
1t be delivered UP at once. A sheep
ish-looking individual turned the watch
over to the captain, and I don't know
what they did to that fellow. Then the
captain delivered the watch to Cook,
in accordance with Bunton's request.
ut was nearing daylight now and the
town was wide awake. for something
was expected to drop pretty soon. At
break of day the vigilantes held Sc
cret trial, and, of course, no one not a
member of the band was allowed to
hear the proceedings. In the meantime
Tex Crow saddled up his cayuse and
took to the hills. The verdict was, as a
matter of course, death by hanging.
AT 10 o'clock Bunton was marched
up to the open, back Of his saloon
where stood an old beef scaffold. Two
cracker barrels were procured from
Worthing & Higgins store and placed
beneath the scaffold, across them being
placed a plank. Upon this platform
Bunton was ordered to stand. When
he stood up there he asked permission
to say few words, and the request
was granted. He protested his inno-
cence, and declared that he did not
