Many Teams On Sidewalks

Many Complaints have been made
to City Marshal Skehan regarding
the driving OF teams on the side
walks and Mr.. Skehan stated yester-
day that he would do all in his
power to enforce the ordinances in
that respect. He appreciated the
fact that the road was very bad but
thought that the sidewalk was pretty
poor for the pedestrian without hav-
ing to combat horses and teams. so
that from tbis time onward, side
walk drivers must beware.

Dempsey tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock.
Gibbons completed his training
with Il light workout yesterday aft
ernoon. The big amphitheater. a
half mile westward from town. was
finished and ready to accommodate
the crowd, estimated variously at
from a few thousand to $4,000 or
5000 by the more optimistic. Ticket
offices are ready for the last minute

The chnIlenger's condition, in the
opinion OF experts who have watched
him work the last few days, is better
than 1t has been before any Of his
previous bouts. He is full Of energy
and his judgment of distance in his
recent sparring matches has been al
most unerring. The challenger's
weight has dropped from nearly 1870
pounds to less than IFS pounds since
he began training. He probably will
fight at that weight. Gibbons dis.
plays few evidences of suspense an

in his favor when he enters the rims

arena have been built for them.
Last minute ticket sales were
being made today and the sales force
at fight headquarters was being
kept busy throughout the day. No
statement was forthcoming as to the
amount of cash taken IN during the
past few days. although It was in.

attention to the free and easy
methods that prevailed. This is
the pen picture he left of Helena in
1865:
"This was lively camp. Three
thousand people we're there, street
spaces were blocked with men and
merchandise, OK teams, mule trains
and pack trains surrounded the
camp, waiting for a chance to I'M
load. The saw and hammer were
busy in putting up cabins and store
houses, and in constructing sluice
boxes for the washing out of gold.
Men who had Stunned domestic
duties over the cradle for years
were. rocking cradles filled with
dirty water, watching appearances
of golden sands to open their purse
strings to the realities of their ad-
venture. Auctioneers were crying
their wares, trade was lively, sa-
looms crowded, hurdy-gurdy dance
houses in full blast, wild mustangs,
never before saddled or bridled,
ridden by Mexicans, were bucking
and running in contests held to
amuse their riders and the crowds.
Saturday nights and Sunday
mornings miners would come into
town with their weeks wages, and
drink, gamble and dance till their
was gone, and then go back
to camp after the excitement of the

Military forts and trading posts
were besieged by redskins. Fort
Rice had been surrounded by the
Indians for days when they reach
ed that point.
Finally, they reached Fort Ben
ton and spent some days there be-
fore starting with mule trains and
prairie schooners for Helena, 140
miles distant. On Sunday, July 9,
1865, they pulled into Last Chance
gulch, and on the outskirts of the
camp the party was greeted by the
sight of a man hanging from the
limb of tree. This was the eighth
figure in leather boots that that
tree had borne in SO many months.
Judge Munson called the other
Judges into conference and called

day was over, completely broke. to
renew the folly at another weeks
end. And so indulgence blossomed
into crime, and the hangman's tree
bore the fruit"
The other judges favored leaving
punishment of crimes to the vigil
antes. Judge Munson's court open
ed the first week in August. In
his charge to the grand jury he
said: This court opens today for
the first time for the trial of Grim
inal cases; however satisfactory an
excuse might have been found be-
fore for secret trials and midnight
executions, no such necessity now
exists"
A true bill was found against a
murderer, and he was sentenced to I,
life Imprisonment at the territorial
prison at Virginia City. Acting
Governor Meagher, while under the
influence of an unfortunate habit,
pardoned the man. He returned to |
was taken by the vigilantes
and hanged with his pardon in his
pocket. He was the ninth man
hanged on the tree.
New Era in Law
This trial in the courts for muir
der was the first ever held in the
territory, and it ended in another
lynching. The next morning the
body was placed in rough pine
loaded on dray drawn by
4 mule, and with the sheriff and
leading the way, was taken
10 the cemetery and hurriedly bur
ed.
In August of the following year
another trial for murder was held
before Judge Munson. This man
was arrested by the United States
marshal for murder in the Indian
under the provision of the
federal laws. He was convicted
md sentenced to be hanged. Off
,ers of the law guarded the jail and
he prisoner to prevent him from
oeing lynched. Then President
Johnson committed the sentence to
for life and ordered
lis transfer to Detroit, Michigan,
Prison. On his way there he es-
aped and never was recaptured.
Subsequently four other prison {
rs were lynched on the Hangman's :
rec, and then it was cut down, as
as been related.
Judge Munson relates that he re-
eived about that time letter from
medical school graduate of Yale,
1quiring whether or not Helena
