air Of bravado he had heretofore main
tained. This time the deputy sheriff
took no chances on losing his prisoner
and the horse thief was safely landed in
the old wooden Jail in Virginia iSty the
following evening.
Here. Notwithstanding the remarkable
Jail breaking proclivities he displayed in
after years, he was content to remain
until his trial took place a few months
afterwards, and he was sentenced to Ave
years in the penitentiary. At the pen he
remained for a few years and, becoming
a trusty, was allowed to work in the hay
fields. He did not like haying and one
day he took advantage of the guards
leniency and escaped.
For several years he dropped out Of
my sight and presumably followed the
life Of a cowboy in Eastern Montana. In
1877, when the Bannack Indians were on
the warpath, he passed through Madison
county with a couple Of stolen horses,
but he travelled by night and was only
seen by chance when HillhOuse Raymond
was guarding his stable in fear Of an
Indian raid. Murphy came riding past
the ranch Just at daylight and lost no
time in getting away when ne found that
the stable was guarded.
In 1884 he again passed through Madi-

son county. when. in company with the
Edmundson brothers and George Mund,
he had made a raid on the head of the
South Boulder and stolen about dozen
horses from residents of Jefferson county
and the party was escaping into Idaho
with the spells. The outfit looked little
like horse thieves. Mrs. Edmundson and
two children were along and they easily
passed for a party of immigrants, and
were SO taken by the residents Of the
Madison valley.
Some two days after the party had
passed Ennis, Jack Airport. deputy
sheriff of Jefferson county, came follow
ing on their trail and the people Of
Madison valley We're surprised to learn
that the party of supposed immigrants
were horse thieves. Several venture
some young men Joined the Airport posse
and the chase up the valley begun.
Among the men who volunteered was old
English George. famous old hunter
and sauaw man of the Madison.
When the posse reached Wall creek it
ran onto Con Murphy, who was heading
the horses a short distance north OF the
camp Of the horse thieves. He was called
on to surrender. but he answered he
would "see them In b. FIRST" and he

an adjoining room and put on some
heavier underclothing, in order to keep
warm during the cold journey. =
To this request the goOd-natured officer
consented, after looking through the
room to see that there was no loophole
Of escape for his prisoner. Murphy was
in the room a great deal longer than the
officer thought he ought to be, and the
latter finally opened the door and told
Murphy to come on; that it was time to
go. Murphy came out, armed with a
needle gun, which the hired girl of the
ranch had slipped to him through hole
in the wall which had been made by TAX
ing out the thinking.
Murphy then got the drop on his cap
tor, who was not expecting this turn of
affairs and, through the connivance of
some of the men on the ranch, he sue
ceeded in escaping. Mr.. Mitchell coming
very nearly being shot through the stom-
ach during the controversy which follow
ed. When Murphy escaped he took his
own and Mr.. Mitchelrs horse with him,
and the deputy was set afoot.
Mr.. Mitchell, after the lapse of two or
three hours, secured another mount, a
wall-eyed cayuse, whose speciality was
bucking and whose only redeeming quail
ity was that he was as tough as an owl,
and the chase after the escaping horse
thief was begun. The trail was followed
up the Bedrock river for few miles,
and then it cut across the hills for the
Idaho line. Knowing that the escaping
man would be compelled to pass by the
Pleasant Valley stage station in order to
get out of Montana, Mr.. Mitchell return
ed to the Junction and took the stage
road to Pleasant Valley.
It was as dark as it possibly could be
by this time, and the ride over the main
range of the Rockies when the snow was
belly-deep to the saddle horse and the
entire country almost trackless, was an
experience which Mr.. Mitchell says he
will never forget. After many founder
through the almost bottomless snow
drifts Pleasant Valley station was
reached at daybreak. and the informa-
ton secured that no one had passed by
through the night.
Mr.. Mitchell was worn out by the
nights adventure and. giving the stock
tender instructions to wake him if any
one should appear from the Montana
side. lay down in the haystall for a few
hours rest.
Scarcely had ne closed his eyes, when
the StOcktenQer dWakeHeO MN WITH lHc
information that a man on horseback,
leading an extra horse was approaching
from the Montana side. Mr.. Mitchell
took a careful peep at the approaching
horseman and, to his JOY. it was Murphy.
Murphy rode up. all unsuspectlng, to
the station, and with a remark to the
stocktender that it was the coolest night
he was ever out in, he swung on his
horse to the ground.
AS he turned toward the stable ne
found himself looking into Mr. Mitchelfs
revolver, and realized that he was once
more a prisoner. He was then carefully
searched by his captor. and among other
uea mons a little derringer was found con-
cealed in the lining of his coat.
Wnen this little pistol was taken away
from him he wilted and lost all Of his

n HE lynching of Brady at Helena
few weeks ago recalls to mind
another lynching, which occurred
- in the Capital City in December,

announcer lyHcnlHS, WHICH OcCufFeu
in the Capital City in December,
1884.
On this occasion a man known as Con
Murphy furnished the victim for Judge
Lynch. His real name was said to have
been Henry Redman, and he was known
to all of the residents of Montana as
RED Murphy a title given him on ac-
count Of the auburn tinge of his curly
locks. He was never a really bad man;
he had never stained his hands with the
life blood of a fellowman, but he did
have a weakness for other peoples
horses, and he developed such a mania
tor jail-breaking that there was not a
Jail in Montana which could hold him
for any length of time.
He first made his appearance in Mon
tana in the early 70s. His first &C
with Iillhouse Raymond, now of Bel
mont Park, Madison county. At that
time Murphy was little more than a boy.
and Mr.. Raymond was running bull
train from Corinne to Virginia City. He
wanted some one to do the night herding
act and sing 10 the bulls during the
lonely watches of the night. Murphy
applied for the job. He was likely
looking young chap, and Mr.. Raymond
gave him the job. He was a good
worker, too, and he proved to be one of
the best night herders that ever made
the trip from Corinne to Montana.
Murphy worked at that business
throughout the first summer and proved
faithful, steady man, and was we'll
liked by his employer. For year or
two afterward he was an Industrious cit
izen Of the territory, and earned a repu-
tation of being a pretty good fellow.
One fall, having the thought of the
congenial climate of Utah in his mind,
he stole a few head of horses and was
making preparations to winter in the
land of the saints, where a blue-eyed
maiden awaited his coming. The owner
of the horses soon got onto his curves
and a warrant was sworn out in Vir-
ginia City for the arrest of the red haired
horse thief, who was then known to be
in Williams Junction, near where the
town Of Lima now stands.
The warrant was placed in the hands
of James Mitchell, who was then deputy
sheriff for Madison county. Mr.. Mitchell
is now hearty resident of the county
seat of Madison, and is engaged as bar
tender for H. S. Gilbert. At the time the
warrant was sworn out for Mr.. Murphy,
q deep snow had fallen and the roads,
which were little better than trails, were
almost impossible.
Williams Junction was Is miles from
Virginia City. just at the foot Of the
main range of the Rockies, and some of
Its residents were not at all friendly to
the peace officers Of the state at that
time.
Mitchell had a hard ride across the
country to the Junction. but he made II
successfully and placed Murphy, who
was not expecting the arrival of an off,
Ger. under arrest with but little diff

to get ready to accompany him to Vir.

The Commoner.
(Mr. Bryan's paper.l

The Commoner has attained
within six months from date
of the first issue a circulation
of 100000 copies, a record
probably never equaled in the
history of American periodical
literature. The unparalleled
growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in
the newspaper field for a ma
tional paper devoted to the
discussion OF political, econo-
mic and social problems. To
the columns Of The Commoner
Mr.. Bryan contributes his best
efforts; and his review of polit-
zeal events as they arise from
time to time cannot fail to in
terest those who study public
questions.
The Commoner's regular
subscription price is S1.00 per
year. We have arranged with
Mr.. Bryan whereby we can
furnish his paper and THE
FARMINcToH TINES together
for one year for $1.70. The
regular subscription price of
the two papers when subscrib-
ed for separately is $500.
