Mr.. Platt. in 1863, when a youth of Is,
made pilgrimage westward from his
home In Illinois and stopped. off at
Alder Gulch, then the mining center Of
the northwest. The next summer, with
one partner, he set out on a prospect

Mr.. Platt well remembers meeting
with Captain Higgins, and says that
his store was the only building or hu-
man habitation that could be found on
the present site of the city Of Missoula.
Mr.. Platt tells of the case of seven
road agents who were hung near the
Higgins store just a few days before
the arrival of Platt and his partner,
The road agents had been operating
IN the Alder Gulch district and had
fled with the vigilantes ut their heels.
They were caught in the Hell Gate
canyon and were taken down to the
store and executed. Captain Higgins
had corral built near the store, and
the vigilantes stretched a pole across
the top OF the corral and hung the
road agents from this pole with great
expediency. Mr.. Plat was acquainted
with one of the road agents, a man by
the name of Skinner, who had been
drifting around Alder Gulch mines for
some time.

caused a second warning to the Cuban
people that the United States would
not regard as legal any government

Mr. Lansing pointed out the rcspOn J.,

growth of the revolt as submitted by

/ men. as they were off the only beaten
trail in the country. However, seeing
no chances to make their fortunes in
the Flathead country, they returned to
! Alder Gulch, where gold dust was
plentiful. on the return trip they
stopped off for some time at Deer
Lodge. Mr.. Platt was well acquainted
with Con kohrs, later OF Deer Lodge,
who was then running a butcher shop
in Virginia City. Mr. Piatt also met
Judge Knowles of Missoula tbout this
time.
The next winter Mr. Platt trckkcd
down to Salt Lake with - pack train
over desolatc stretch of country, in
habitatcd by countless buffalo--mil-
lions of thcm it seemed, to the youth
full travellers. Mr.. Platt was in the
Mormon city in the spring of 1866 when
the Civil war ended and when the news
of the end of the internal strife came
he returned to Virginia City.
During Mr.. Platt's stay at Alder
Guich. the operations of the road
iiantcs organized and by their sum-
mary executions of all offenders
practically eliminated the evil In -
few months during the year of 1864
So road agents were hung by the vigil
ante committee in Alder Guiss.
Just few days before the arrival
OF Mr.. Platt in Virginia City, while
the deprcdations of the highwaymen
were at their height, the sheriff Of
Alder Gulch was killed while trying
to arrest some of the road agents. One
of the famous characters of the early
days in Alder Gulch. Bowl-Ax Bead
Icy. was appointed to serve as sher-
iff, and Mr.. Platt says that nc was
recognized as the bravest and most
dangerous man in the state.
Mr.. Platt was an intimate friend OF
Jim kisca ddcn, the Alder Gulch storc-
keeper, who claimed to be the father
of Maud Adams. the famous actress.
He also knew Slade, the ill-reputed
road agent, and was present at his
execution. Mr.. Platt says that when
Sladc was captured he was not tried
on any specific charge for any of the
numerous crimes he committed, but
was hung on general principles by the
yiglla ntes before he had q chance to
slip out of their hands. Slade was a
clever man, very rich. but exceedingly
mean and q degenerate.
firing Of life in the wild and woody
west, Mr.. Platt returned home to
Illinois In 1869. When he travelled to
Washington state a quarter of a CEN
teury later, great change had taken
place, but the one that struck Mr.
Platt most forcibly was that he tray
eled from Illinois to the coast in three
days at that time, while in 1853 it
took hiss party four months to cross
the plains as far west as Alder Gulch
In a wagon train.
