toned and sought to be enforced IN
the name Of the law itself, says the
Kansas City Sar. 1t was the San
Francisco Committee Of Vigilance Of
Isl that gave the name an1 model for
all the illegitimate tribunals that pro-
tected and purified, or terrorized and
abused, as the case may be, almost
every community of consequence IN
the far West. A series Of fires kind
| led by thugs, in order to plunder the
town while it burned, led to the or
eanization Of committee Of 200 cit
liens who calmly took charge Of the
affairs of the city, and what little
opposition there was to them they as
calmly awed into silence.
Gradually the vigilance idea spread
throughout California and committees
originally modelled on the lines of the
San Francisco body, hanged, brand
ed or banished ''bad men, and some
times women.
The Danites.
The committee did not always
hang; they sometimes whipped thiev-
es. and several organization branded
stock robbers with a great "H. IT,
horse thief.
A famous secret organization which
had many crimes charged against its
name was "The Danites," Utah
Mormon band. This grim and deadly
company was supposed to devote It's
energies to the discourageemnt Of un-
desirable immigration into the Nor
mon territory, but it early earned a
reputation for murder and plllage,
practiced upon parties Of pioneer set
tiers and caravans bound for the CAL
ifornia gold fields.
In 1855 conditions in San Francis
co became such that the vigilance
committee again seemed to be de-
manded, and it was reorganlzed, with
VIM. T. Coleman as president. Tins
time there were more than 5000 men,
tbers, with an executive committee OF
40 whose orders were absolute. They
took charge Of the armories, organlz-
ed cavalry and artillery divisions and
even established a marine battery.
By this time the popular tribunal
idea had reached other States and ter
ritories. In Nevada people began TO
find dead men swinging from trees
with a placard bearing the figures
"6O1" pinned ito their clothing. This
was the number Of citizens composing
one of the early vigilance committees,
but the mark was soon adopted as the
sign manual" Of all the lynchlns
organizations of Utah or Nevada.
Northward through Oregon, Wash;
ington and away up into Alaska, the
movement spread. Gold dust thieves,
highwaymen, cattle and horse thieves;
"bad men" and others who earned
the i'll will of the "regulators,' were
its game.
The "XXXn was as famous and
feared in Idaho as the 1901 ''Was IN
Nevada and Utah, though this com
mittee did not begin its work until
two wears after its organization. Ihe
