STORIES OF EARLY
DAYS ARE TOLD
Governor Mcdonnell Tells
Pioneer Experiences to
University Club.

w. j. Mcconnell, one of the rugged
pioneers of Idaho, former governor and
a man who played a prominent part
in the history of the northwest, last
night won for himself the title of
prince of story tellers," after he had
addressed a large meeting of the Uni
versity club, speaking upon the SUBJ
ject, "reminiscences of Idaho" The
word addressed is improperly used, for
what the former governor did was to
tell stories Of pioneer days, stories
which are not given in the books of
history of this country He told OF
the trouble the early settlers had with
bandits and horse thieves and of the
organization of the vigilance commit
tee. The Payette vigilance committee
he said, was the first organized in the
northwest and its organization was
perfected in a block house near Pay
cite, where resolutions and bylaws
were adopted. He stated there were
some rs or 100 men present and among
the number were horse thieves, who
had been active in the very game the
vigilance committee had formed to
check.
The first president was a man named
Dr. Burgess, whom Mr.. Mcconnell de-
clared was bogus dust manufacturer
whom he later investigated and who
left the country before the next meet
ing. At the next meeting, he stated,
three punishments were decided upon
first. horse whipping; second, giving
men "a hours i'll which to leave the
county. and third, hanging. The third
he stated, was never enforced by the
Payette vigilance committee.
