20. 1879, and 1t did more than any
one thing to convince disreputable
characters that henceforth Leadville
would be an unhealthy place for them.
Prior to the organization of the vigi-
lantes, the thugs, footpads, lot and
claim jumpers and Sfoundrels of every
stripe he'd been running things with
high hand.
Respectable citizens were afraid to
leave their homes at night; printers
working on morning papers went from
their work to their homes in a body to
avoid being held up; men OF means
refuge in hotels at nightfall and in
short the powers of darkness held
high carnival from sundcwn to dawn.
Robbers loitered in alleys and dark
corners and the venturesome person
who went forth at night and strayed
form the main street of the town gen.
orally got what he invited-a blow
on the head from a bludgeon welded
by footpad. Saturday night, Novem-
ber Is. 1879, barber named Charles
Bockhaus left the shop in which he
was at work and started for his home
on lower State street. He knew he
was not safe and so he carried re-
volver in his hand. The performance
was not without humor at that time,
although tragedy resulted. The
humor grew out of two things.
In the first place, the revolver was
of the smallest make using a 22-caliber
cartridge In the second place, Book
haus was scared and whistled at a
| lively rate to keep up his courage. He
had not gone far when he wes fright
ened out of his wits by the startling
yet familiar order: Throw up your
hands Bockhaus was willing but
he had a revolver In his right hand.
He had no intention of shooting at
that instant, but when he felt the
revolver in his hand as he raised his
arm in the air with proper speed. he
two assailants fired at him and ran
AS they missed him, he ran In the
opposite direction He was captured
by policeman, who refused to ac
cept his statement that he had been
held up and insisted that he had been
trying the game himself. However
Bockhaus and his captor met another
policeman who had captured one oi
the men.
While the story was being told by
Bockhaus In front of a private resi-
dence John Arkins, the tenant OF the
house called them and expressed the
opinion that there was a dead mar
on the rear porch of the house. He
had heard a man run around the house
and fall heavily on the porch. A
search brought to light a dead mar
and he was identified as the other as
sailant OF the barber. Despite the
small caliber of the gun used by Book
haus, the bullet had gone through the
mans body, passing between two ribi
and through his heart. His name was
found to be Clifford and he was iden
tilted by any army officer as a de
serter, while that OF the robber in
custody OF the officer proved to be
