Y YITH the members OF my COM
IA mittee returned to our own
wv camp, there to await the ap-
pointed hour of Z. This had
been selected for several reasons-it
was daylight, the roughs would be at
home. and the community, although
afoot, would not yet have gone to
work. While waiting we cooked our
selves some hot coffee and made some
flapjacks. The chill, gray time OF day
had come, the period Of low vitality,
and we shivered with the cold and
with excitement Nobody had much
to say. We waited grimly for the time
to pass.
About o'clock Yank arose, seized
his long rife and departed for the log
cabin that had been designated as the
Jail. His lameness had prevented him
from being appointed on one OF the
arresting committees, but he had no
intention of being left out. A half
hour later we followed him into town.
It was q heavenly fall morning OF
the sort that only mountain California
can produce The camp was begin
ming to awaken to its normal activity.
l remember wondering vaguely how 1t
could be so calm and unconcerned.
NV heart was beating violently, and l
had to clinch my teeth tight to keep
them from chattering. This was not
fear. but q high tension Of excitement.
AS we strolled past the Bella Union
with what appearance Of nOnchalance
we could muster Danny Randall nod
ded at us from the doorway. By this
we knew that Catlin was to be found
at his own place.
Catlin dwelt in detached room back
Of the Empire, together with one OF
the other professional gamblers. We
lounged around the corner Of the EN-
pire building. The door Of the cabin
was shut. Outside we hung back, hes
itating and a little uncertain. None OF
us was by nature or training man
Of violence, and we experienced the
reluctance of men about to plunge into
cold water. Nobody was more than
pardonably afraid, and Of course we
had every intention Of seeing the at
fair through. Then suddenly In the
actual face Of the thing itself my ex-
element drained from me like tide
receding. My nerves steadied, my
trembling stilled. Never had [ felt
more cool in my life. Drawing my
revolver, l pushed open the door and
entered the building.
Catlin was in the act of washing his
face, and him 1 instantly covered with
my weapon. His companion was still
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1916-12-14

Somebody put some more WOOD on
this" he said in his natural voice.
We've got to see each other"
In q moment the flames were leap
ing. / looked about me with consider
able interest to see who Of the camp
had been summoned. l must confess
to few surprises, such as the gam
bier from the Empire, but in general
the gathering consisted of those whom
/ should have characterized as solid cit
izenS-Barnes. the hotel keeper; Him
melwright and men of his stripe. They
were all armed and all very grave and
sober. Danny ran his eye over us one
by one.
Meeting come to order" he COM
manded briskly. "This is a vigilante
meeting. l hope you all realize what
that means. There are just thirty Of
us here, and Morton's gang Is proba-
bly, a hundred strong when it is all to-
gether. We cannot fight them. but we
can give the honest, decent men Of
this camp chance to fight them. l
myself believe the honest men will
back us and am willing to risk it. IT
any Of you who are here now think
differently say So"
He paused, but no one spoke up.
"1f anybody doesn't want to go into
this now is the time to back out. Just
keep your mouths shut; that is ALL
He paused again. but again no one
moved.
"Thats all right" observed Danny,
with satisfaction. He lifted a paper.
Listen to this: we, the undersigned,
agree. as we are decent men, to stand
by each other to the last, to avenge
the death of any one of us and to obey
the orders of our leaders. And if we
fail in this may God deny us mercy
Boys" said Danny Randall earnestly.
''thiS is serious. If we start this now
we've got to see it through. We are
not much on Bible oaths, any one of
us. but we must promise. Frank Mum
roe, step forward
One by one Danny Randall called us
forward and administered his simple
oath. The fire leaped and with it the
mighty shadows. Outside the circle
of light the tall pines and fir trees
watched us like a multitude standing
witness. The mems faces were grave.
There was about the toughest Of them
something noble, reflected from the
earnest spirit Of justice.
Randall had the plans all made, and
he detailed them rapidly. We were to
arrest four men only, and he named
them-Morton, Scarface Charley, who
had recovered; a gambler named Cat
lin and Jules. the proprietor Of the
Empire.
Crawford is back In town." said
some one.
snake it FIVE then" said Danny in
stantly.
Next came up the vital questions OF
ways and means. Many were in favor
Of night surprise and an immediate
hanging before the desperadoes could
be organized for defense Danny had
a hard time showing them good rea-
sons against this course but at last he
succeeded.
'"This must be done deliberately and
publicly" he maintained. "Otherwise
1t fails of It's effect. We've got to show

tireless energy Of the born axmen at
inclosing still more. Their horses had
been turned into blowing, and from
somewhere or other they had procured
a cock and dozen hens.
For a brief period Yank and quito
envied the lot Of these pioneers who
had settled stake in the country.

held the rope, "slack off that rope and
let a man take a parting drink, can't
you?"
Amid a dead silence the rope was
Stacked away. Charley took a long
drink, then hurled the half emptied
flask far out into the crowd.
To a question Crawford shook his
head.
81 hope God Almighty will strike ev-
cry one of you with forked lightning
and that I shall meet you all in the
lowest pit Of hellw he snarled.
Morton kept stubborn and rather
dignifed silence. Catlin alternately
pleaded and wept Jules answered
Danny's question:
"Sure thing! Pull off my boots for
me. I don't want it to get back to
my old mother that I died with my
boots on"
In silence and gravely this ridicu
lous request was complied with. The
crowd, very attentive, heaved and
stirred. The desperadoes, shouldering
their way here and there, were finding
each other out, were gathering in lit
tie groups.
They'll try a rescuev' whispered the
man next to me.
Men," Danny's voice rang out clear
and menacing, "do your dutyv'
At the words across the silence the
click of gunlocks was heard as the
vigilantes leveled their weapons at the
crowd. From my position near the
condemned men / could see the shrift-
ing components Of the mob freeze to
immobility before the menace Of those
barrels. At the same instant the man
who had been appointed executioner
jerked the box from beneath Catlin's
feet.
"There goes one" muttered Charley.
II hope forked lightning will strike
every strangling"- yelled Crawford.
His speech was abruptly cut short as
the box spun from under his feet.
"Kick away, old fellow said Scar
face Charley. "Me next! I'll be with
you in a minute! Every man for his
principles! Hurrah for crime! Let her
ripr' And without waiting for the ex-
ecutioner he himself kicked the sup
port away.
Morton died without a sign. Catlin
at the last suddenly Gained and met
his fate bravely.
Before the lull resulting from the
execution and the threat Of the pre-
