History repeats itself. and to this

where the little figures were sold for

GHosrY LOVERS ON WATCH
Legend of the City of Mexico That
Makes Peculiar Appeal to Super
stitious Residents.

One of the strange legends of the
City of Mexico has to do with the Gale
de los Parados (Street of the Two
Idlers). According to the story there
was beautiful girl Dona Maria Ysa-
bel de Vallejo Y Vezca, who lived on
the street, and was beloved by two
men. one a young officer and the other
a young merchant After the custom
of the land at that period (about 1850
they indicated their love by standing
one at each corner of the block, until
the dona appeared.
A plague fell upon the city about
this time and the girl died without it
becoming known to her lovers. She
was taken out and buried by night,
also unknown to the suitors. The
next day they stood at their respective
posts waiting in vain. The day after
they stood, and the day after that,
week after week, month after month,
and year after year They at last
died, still on their posts, and their
ghosts are said to still stand at night,
cloaked and CHASTITY, in the darkest
shadows of the streets.

BY RALEIGH WILKINSON.

In all probability the most exciting
day in the history of Helena took
place on June 9Th, 1889, when four
men met death at and near the little
station of Silver, on the Great North
ern railway, and about Is miles north
of the city. The only incident recall
ed that in any way equalled the excit-
ment in 1889 was when Compton
Wilson was hanged in mid-afternoon
in the early seventies for the attempt
ed murder and robbery of a Missouri
river ranchman between Helena and
Winston. On that day the entire pop
ulation of Helena seemed to have
turned out to witness the execution
of the two condemned men. The I'M
occupied lands surrounding the old
hangman's tree was literally black
with people, where the men expiated
their crime on the gallows tree.
Starts Crowd on Hunt.
The first authentic news received
of the tragedy at Silver came in the
early morning and was sent by a sec
ton hand who at one time had been
an operator, but owing to misfortunes
probably brought on by himself, he
was at the time working on the sec
ton. His dispatch was brief, but
when bulletined at the newspaper
offices had the effect of electrifying
the entire community into a state
bordering OF frenzy. The dispatch
stated that the agent at Silver station
and a companion, a telegraph opera
tor, who was visiting him, had both
been shot and killed by robbers and
the place looted of valuab1es.
Instantly there was hurrying to and
fro and consultations as to the best
method of effecting the capture or
death of the perpetrators of the deed.
Charles M. Jeffries was sheriff of
Lewis and Clark county at the time
and George Walker was undersheriff.
The sheriff, who was a very capable
and energetic man, at once instructed
Undersheriff Walker to secure a
posse of citizens and begin the pur-
suit of the robbers and m%urderers
Soon the posse was speeding on its
way to Silver over the Montana
Central railway (now Great North
ern) to Silver station.
By this time crowds surrounded
the bulletin boards awaiting further
from the scene of the tragedy,
but little was forthcoming. 1t was
learned, however, that a party of
ranchmen in the Little Prickly Pear
valley and Silver creek had been hast
iIy gathered, and we'll mounted and

friends of the man doomed to die.
In expectation of a rush, the Vigi-
lantes stood with revolvers cooked,
ready to beat back any attack.
Another Desperate Swings
The prisoner, exhibiting nothing
but stolid unconcern, was placed
standing on a board supported in
such a name that a touch of the
foot was all that was necessary to
convert it into a drop. The executive
officer of the Vigilantes then adj
dressed the crowd, stating that the
suppression of lawlessness and out
rage necessitated the hanging of
criminals like Dolan. He finished
by warning against any attempt to
interfere with justice.
Dolan, calm and apparently upper
turbed, admitted having committed
the crime, saying he was drunk when
he did it. The plank was struck from
beneath him and his body swayed
back and forth in the evening breeze.
A hundred voices ordered the press
ing crowd to fall back, the command
being accompanied by the glancing
barrels of 500 clicking revolvers.
This had its effect on the over
wrought nerves of the thousands of
spectators, who were suddenly seized
with wild panic and fled shrieking in
mad terror. A wagon and team of
mules, standing outside the circle
held by the V~igilantes, was actually
knocked owe by the rush, and W.
the struggling animals on the ground
poured a living torrent of human be-
bereft of reason.
One of the most extraordinary feat
ures of this execution was the action
of the Vigilantes in taking up a sub
scription on behalf of the man whose
money was stolen and returning to
him in this manner the entire amount
of his loss.
