William Fredericks asked me il I
could be employed to guard this
gold from Helena to Fort Benton, to
which place they had concluded to
ship it and then load it on boats for
the states. / agreed to go along. He
told me to consider myself employed
and to keep a lookout for toughs in
the meantime.
Il had known this man, Freder-
icks, before either of US came to Mon
tana. In the winter of 1861 Freder-
icks was prospecting in Colorado In
the Gunnison country and was snow
ed in for the winter. He had to eat
his pack animals to live. / met him
in the spring as he was coming out
near Twin Lakes. He came to my
camp nearly starved to death. I fed
him and his party some good, sub
stantial grub, which they had not
seen for six months. Fredericks
never forgot that square meal, and
the next time I saw him was at Dia-
mond City, where he employed me,
after he had made cleanup from his
rich strike on Montana bar. After
we shook hands he brought out pan
of dust and set it on the table and
told me to help myself to nugget.
l picked out a large one. He said,
tx, there are larger ones there-take
a big piece. Several weighed over
four hundred dollars, but I was too
modest and kept the first one.
well, we started from Helena
to Benton with the dust loaded on
three two-mu1e wagons, the dust in
three safes, and fourteen men armed
and on horseback. Job Travis went
along to bring the horses back. While
in the bank on Bulge street in Hell
ena, getting the money ready, one of
the men interested in the money let
his double-barreled shotgun go off
accidentally and the charge went in
to the ceiling, which raised quite
commotion.
Robber Shows Up
when we left Helena we were
ready for almost any emergency and
camped the first night in Prickly
Pear canyon. While we were in
camp an outsider came to me with a
to steal the dust and
whack it up. He said l could fix the
guns in our party so they could be
stolen, and then no one need be kill
ed on either side. He said when I
was ready l could whistle. Then he
would have his gang take the treas
ure and I would get my whack.

any more plans - I knew the man

we'll, and I told him that if l heard
any whistling I would kill him if /
could. / reported the proposition to
Fredericks and it alarmed the out
fit and the men put on heavy guard
no whistling and no money taken
1.-THE next night we camped at the
Dearborn. Had no trouble till we got
to Bulls Head, q miles this side of
Benton. While riding on a walk my
horse broke his right forward leg
just below the knee, through no ap-
parent cause-no holes, rocks or any
thing else to cause it, and how it was
done none of US could find out. 1t
just snapped off. We shot him right
there and / rode on in the wagon to
Benton.
while we were there we fixed the
safes ready for shipping them down
the river in mackinaw boats, no
steamers being there. We fastened
ten-gallon casks with long ropes to
each safe in case the boats might up
set, when the casks would act as
buoys and the safes could be located

Bloody Cave Gulch Fight
Cave Gulch was famed for it's rich
mines and was famous also in the
SOS as the scene of bloody vendet-
ia. A party of claim jumpers, which
had organized in Idaho and Nevada,
decided to come to Montana and OPP
crate, stealing claims from their
owners and hoping to hold them by
strength of numbers. They chose
Cave Gulch as the place to start OPP
erations because it was inaccessible
and had good gold prospects.
These claim jumpers were SIMS
ter, desperate band of frontier des-
peradoes, as may be judged from
their plan of action. They establish
ed a camp near Cavetown, in the
Kingsbury mountain district, and
boldly served notice on two miners,
who were working on good-looking
bar, to leave their diggings and make
themselves scarce by sunset of the
following day or take the conse-
quences, which, they declared, would
be sudden death.
In alarm, these miners consulted
with their neighbors who were placer
