The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1906-10-19

When Captain Montgomery, on July
8, 1916, raised the American nag on the
heights of Yerba Buena at the Golden
Gate, this spot was nothing but a poor
village Of about 200 inhabitants, writes
Louis Wagner in very interesting ar
ticle published in the illustrated Home
Journal. But even then 1t was quite
cosmopoIitan-its population was made
up Of Spaniards, Mexicans, Germans,
Swiss, Englishmen, Scots, Irish, Swedes,
Danes, Indians and Kanakas. W
Undiscovered the precious yellow met
al slumbered in the mountains, and the
picturesque pioneers of the village on
the beautiful bay dreamed little of the
Unsuitable, feverish thirst for gold. They
rather cast their eyes upon the sea day
after day. Every morning at sunrise
some of them would climb upon the
highest hill. which was soon called
Telegraph Hill," and, glass In hand,
they would search the great expanse OF
the ocean for vessels bringing commerce
and newcomers. The white sails and
the long drawn cloud Of smoke could be
seen from this high viewpoint In the far
distance, and thus the arrival Of a ship
could readily be announced to the whole
populace In due time. And then the
whole village assembled at the landing
place
1t was during the last days Of that
July month, when messenger hurried

feelings this increase in the population
of Yerba Buena was received by the
naked assembly of pioneers. But these
Mormons brought money, tools, imple-
ments of various kinds and printing

alteration with the very worldly bishI

into the woods; French suddenly point

hold up his hands.
French showed a United States de-

he was under arrest on the charge of
passing counterfeit money. Harlow at
tempted 10 escape, whereupon French
shot at him, the bullet striking Har-

French told Harlow that two other
officers were in the woods watching his
every movement and should he attempt
to escape would shoot at him. French
then said he was going to town after
a team with which to take the prisoner

French showed his badge and told
the jailer that the prisoner was des-

bank In Pennington and tried to cash
his check and this is where he made
his mistake. The man from whom he

plot was untangled. French was dis

a short trial French was sent down
