sary to get the State in time on cash

Freeman was shot four times in the
breast and her daughter, who had fired
once, was shot in the mouth and instant
" killed. Detective Cahoon, who was
attempting to disarm Losdholdtz, was

numerous robberies and murders which
had been committed was fully estab-
nshed by their own confession, ald
they were placed under guard pending
a vote as to their disposal. This was
taken by the captain standing in the
middle Of the road, stating the ques-
ton to the men, telling them they had
all heard the evidence and to vote ac-
cording to their consciences, those vot-
ing guilty stepping to the right side Of
the road and others to the left. All
went to the right, and. the law Of the
vigilantes providing only one mode OF
punishment death. the doom Of the
culprtts was sealed
The prisoners were placed under an
escort OF seven men and started for
Virginia City. Reaching Laurin (or
Loraines, as the place was known in
those days., a halt was made for the
main party to come up, and it was de-
dded to stay there for the night.
About 10 o'clock the leader was awak-
ened for a re-e1amination Of the pris-
oners and was taken to the hotel bar
room, where they were confined, and
here RED" made confession, in which
he revealed the names Of Plummer
and all bis gang, their signs Of recog-
milton, grips, password, mode Of shay
ing and manner Of wearing the neck
tie and many other Items Of their cos
toms Of procedure. With this 1nforma-
ton in their possession the vigilantes
decided to execute the prisoners forth
with, and q party was detailed to Sc
lect a place for the purpose. The tree
was chosen, and on Jan 4, 1894, the
condemned men were marched from
the hotel through the snow and hung
on the Limb which IS conspicuously
grim on the trunk Of the tree as II It
were grated there for that very pur-
pose. OF the manner Of their death it
is only necessary to say that Browns
shutting off this mortal coil IS said
to have been cowardly in the extreme,
while his comrade met death with a
Spartan sto!idity which ELECTED admi-
ration of his nerve on the part Of his
execuuoners.
The chase and capture Of these two
criminals had occupied twelve days in
the accomplishment, but afterward the
work Of the vigilantes was done more
speedily. Thanks to the Information
obtained from "Red's' confession, they
moved so swiftly that when Bill Hun
ter was hanged on the West Wallatin
on Feb. 3, 1854, they had, as one Of
them quantity expressed it, more than
thirty road agent scalps on their coup
stick" After that the vigilantes Of
Montana carried on their operations in
more desultory fashion

lantes Of Montana applied It when they
began their self imposed task Of "regu.
lating" the road agents. It was the
first tree in the country used as an ex-
ecutioner's gallows, and, singularly
enough, the two men who gave up their
lives there were the corresponding sec
Ietary and messenger Of the road agent
organization.
It was after the execution Of George
Ives on Dec. 21. 1883, that the organiza-
ton Of the vigilance committee was ef-
fected. Its officers and scouting par
ties were in the saddle, hurrying at
top speed toward the haunts and rem
devious of the road agent band
It was ON Dec, %, 1853, that party,
twenty four in number, under the cap
taincy Of q citizen renowned for bra
very, nerve and coolness and good judg-
ment in all emergencies, started on the
expedition which resulted in two ban
dts meeting their doom at the hands
Of the committee and suffering death
on this particular tree. They met Eras-
tus Yagef ("Red'), but none Of the
party knew him. He was the swift mes
senger Of the road agents, and he told
the vigilantes that several Of the most
notorious Of the gang that they were
after were lying at Cottonwood drunk
and defiant. The scouts laid over some
time for needed rest for their animals,
and in the afternoon rode into Cotton
wood, intending to take the road agents
by surprise and capture them after
dusk. But the willy "Red" had fooled
them by getting there ahead Of them,
and the regulators found to their cha
grin that the birds had flown. The let
ter of warning is said to have been
written by Brown and carried over by
"Red."
Baff1ed in this case, the v!gilantes re-
turned by way Of Point Of Rocks, on
Beaverhead. They suffered intensely
from cold While here they heard that
"Red" was on Rattlesnake creek, and
party of volunteers was detailed to get
him. They succeeded, although but
narrowly escaping sharp encounter
with Buck Stinson and Ned Ray, who,
with an alleged prisoner, were enact
ing the parts Of deputy sherifs at the
rendezvous Of the road agents on Rat
tlesnake. The prisoner was quite tract
able and apparently unconcerned, and
with due precautions for bis safe keep
ing he was taken along to Dempsey's
without trouble. Here the scouts re-
Joined the main body Of the command,
and here also they found Brown, the
secretary who wrote the letter Of
warning which his confederate had
carried 80 swiftly to the gang which
had escaped from Cottonwood.
The two men, Yager and Brown,
were brought together next morning
and subjected to a rigid examination,
from which it was ELECTED that the
statement Of "Red" that Brown wrote
the warning letter was true and he,
too, was placed under arrest. The two
were then tried separately, and they
were each found guilty Of completely
with Plummer and his gang, Brown
as secretary and RED" as road agent
and messenger. Both strenuously de-
MED the commission Of individual MUIR
der, and that was not proved against
them. But their connection with the

legislative DOingse

The senate killed the bill which allowed
counties to vote out dispensaries without
having tax of one-half mill levied on
them to enforce the law. This ended the
hope of any dispensary legislation this
year, and the dispensary stands exactly
as it did before the general assembly met.
Friday night, by vote of 16 to 10 the
Senate killed the bill providing for q
State reformatory for youthful criminals.
DR.. Black voted against it. This bill had
passed the house, and would have become
law but for the senate. The ladies of the
State had asked for the reformatory, and
worked hard to get the bill passed.
Thelegislature adjourned last Saturday,
having lasted the limit of forty days.
Speaker Smith appointed Mr.. E. T.
LaFitte as the chairman of the committee
to contract for the State Supreme Court
reports.
The house members of the committee to
investigate the dispensary are: Arthur
L. CASTOR, of Chester; Thos. B. Fra. er,
of Sumter; J. Fraser Lyon, of Abbeville;
and D. A. Spivey, of Horny. The mem
bers of this committee from the senate
are: J. T. Hay. of Kershaw; Cole L.
Blease, of Newberry and Niels Chris
tensen, Jr., of Beaufort. Speaker Smith
did much better in his appointments than
Lieutenant Governor Sloan, as the house
members of the committee are strong
men. Let US hope that it will not be q
whitewashing proceeding after all.
The committee appointed to investigate
the boiler explosion heating plant of the
State house some weeks ago, decided that
the fireman was careless, but that they
could find no evidence to connect any one
with having tampered with them.
The house passed resolution endors-
ing B. A. Morgan, of Greenville, for the
position of Federal judge of the new dis
trict to be created in the upper counties.
Mr.. Morgan is member of the house.
The senate passed the bill providing
for State armory in Columbia and an
appropriation of $1,000 to erect the build
ing. DR.. Black voted against the bill.
Salaries of solicitors of the first and
second circuits will be 81 800 year, and
in all the other circuits they will receive
$500. Bamberg is now placed in the
second circuit.
When the house convened last Wednes-
day night Mr.. LaFitte, of Bamberg, aris-
ing to a question of personal privilege,
apologized to the house for the unparlia-
mentary language he had used Tuesday.
"You gentlemen remember what hap
pened in this hall night before last" he
said. "It is my purpose to conduct myself
as a gentleman and to treat others as gen.
tlemen. But on that occasion felt so out
ragged that I lost my temper and used
language unparliamentary. I now wish
to make the general assembly of South
Carolina my humble apology"
Mr.. Edwards, member of the house
from spartanburg, offered resolution
to prevent the State house beingIused for
the annual State ball, but the house voted
it down by a large majority.
In the closing hours of the house, Mr..
LaFitte made the motion that the body
meet as committee of the whole and
offered the usual resolutions of thanks to
the speaker, newspaper reporters, etc.
