Bella Union, elbowed aside insolently
any inoffensive citizen who might be
in their way and generally conducted
themselves as though they owned the
place. Robberies grew more frequent.
The freighters were held up in broad
daylight; rumors Of returning miners
being relieved Of their dust drifted up
from the lower country; mysterious
disappearances increased in number.
Hardly an attempt was made to con-
ceal the fact that the organized gang
that conducted these operations had its
headquarters at italian Bar. Strange
men rode up in broad daylight, COW
cred with red dust, to confer with
Morton or one Of the other resident
blackguards. Mysteriously every des-
perado in the place began to lay fifty
dollar octagonal slugs on the gaming
tables, product Of some lower coun-
try atrocity.
The camp soon had a concrete Illus
tration Of the opinion the roughs held
Of themselves. It was reported quiet
ly among few Of US that several of
our number had been marked" by the
desperadoes. Two Of these were Joe
Thompson, who had acted as counsel
for the prosecution in the late trial,
and Tom Cleveland, who had presided.
and presided well, over the court.
Thompson kept one Of the stores, while
Cleveland was proprietor Of the butch
er shop. No overt threats were made,
but we understood that somehow these
men were to be put out of the way
OF course they were at once warned.
