Sumptuous Banquet Was Given by Henry Pummer, Noted Bandit Chief,
to Montana Governor and Vgiante Chiefs Who Hanged Him a Month Later

with blankets and masks, and rid
ing the fastest horses their stoler
gold dust could buy, they haunted
the lonesome trails in waiting fol
their prey. AS the doomed coach
or wagon drew near, the horsemer
were upon it with pistols drawn
The slightest hesitation of driver
or passenger to obey commands
shouted at them meant sudden
death, so resistance was seldom Of
fered. In many instances these
hunters of human prey became Sc
callous and b1oodthirsty that they
killed for the lust of killings
1t was not until more than one
hundred brutal murders had been
committed by Plummer's men that
any resistance was offered to the
rule of the desperadoes. Then, in
December, 1868, Plummer's right
hand man, George Ives, who was
probably the member of the band
most dreaded by honest citizens,
committed a murder SO brutal and
SO cold-blooded that public indig-
nation was aroused to a pitch that
brought on speedy vengeance and
the downfall of Plummer's reign
of outlawry.
This particular crime of Ives
was the killing of a young Ger
man, Nicholas Tiebalt. The body
of the youth was found in the
bearing about the throat the
marks of a small l@ariat, which had
been used to drag him, still living,
to the place of concealment, where
he was killed by a bullet through
the head. The hands were filled
with fragments of sagebrush, torn
off in agony as he was jerked along
behind Ives horse.

lifeless form there set in a reaction
which gathered force until the
country was purged of crime and
criminals.
Organizing of Vigilantes
The same evening the body was
found rs citizens of Nevada City
signed an obligation of mutual sup
port and protection, armed them
selves and rode forth in search of
Ives. They arrested Ives, took him
to Nevada City, and upon his be-
ing found guilty of murder, he was
Immediately hanged. A hundred
armed miners surrounded the gal
lows and prevented any attempt at
interference upon the part of the
road agents or their friends.
A few nights after the hanging
of Ives five men from Virginia
City and four from Bannack or
ganized the Vigilantes, meeting in
the back of a store. By unanimous
consent Captain James Williams,
one of the bravest men who ever
stood in boots, was chosen chief
of the Vigilance Committee. AL
though he was the directing genius
and master mind in the ensuing
trial of strength with Plummer's
men, his modesty was such that at
his own request his name vas omit

Vigilantes. Nor is it to be found in
N. P. Langford's Vigilante Days

In 1860 the northern Rocky
Mountain section, which within a
wear or two was to witness the dis
covery of several of the richest
placer gold streams on earth, was
a wilderness. In that territory now
comprising Idaho and Montana
there were only two trading points.
These were Fort Benton, at the
head of navigation on the Missouri
river; and Fort Owen, west of the
Rockies, in the Bitter Root valley.
But for mining supplies, the
est trading settlement was Walla
Walla, Washington, a thousand
miles westward.
The discovery of fabulously rich
gold deposits populated that wild
erness as if by magic. Colorado
and California had been prospect
ed and ransacked, and rich as they
were, they failed to satisfy the
greed of countless gold-seekers.
These territories, having passed
through a reign of lawlessness, had
thrown eff the yoke imposed upon
them by organized bands of the
most murderous desperadoes the
west ever knew and banished hum
dreds of the criminals whose COM
rades had been hanged. For such
as these, Montana, the new Edo
RADIO, remote and inaccessible in
the heart of the Rockies, was a
haven of refuge and a virgin field
for further atrocities. The long,
lonesome trails over which gold
dust had to be transported made it
a robbers paradise.
These conditions brought about
in the newly discovered gold fields
of Bannack and Virginia City, in
Montana, a reign of outlawry that
has never been equaled in the his
tory of the nation, with a sudden
and dramatic assertion of law by
the people that forms one of the
most thrilling chapters in the an
nails of the west. The story of the
Montana road agents and their
downfall has been told we'll in that
remarkable historic document, The
Vigilantes of Montana, by Thomas
]. Dimsdale, Montana's only news
paper editor during those stormy
days, who died at Virginia City
shortly after he had completed his
book. There are, however, certain
dramatic events which were not in {
cluded in Dimsdale's story and :
which have not been published in

ings of that period. I

In the absence of his young wife

Wilbur F. Sanders, later to become

the state of Montana.
Weeks before the execution of
Plummer his real character was
known to the men who were to be-

was fully realized, too, that Plum
mer must die. However, if he
sensed his impending fate-and it
is said that he sent his wife east be-
cause he feared for the future-he
gave no sign to indicate that he
was worried.
1t was shortly before Christmas,
1868, that Plummer gave a dinner
at Bannack that has been outdone
in dramatic and tragic interest by
few feasts in history. The guests
included the governor of Montana,
Sidney Edgerton; Wilbur F. San
ders, later to be first United States
senator from Montana and a dozen
other of the most prominent citi-
zens of the territory, most of whom
were within a few short weeks to
become members of the organiza-
ton that hanged their host of that

Plummer had sent to Salt Lake for
turkeys-the first ever eaten in
Montana-for which he paid $40
each in gold. He had also obtain

before had graced the table at any
in the territory. In the
finest of wines toasts were drunk

man at the banquet board knew
that he was doomed to die and that
some of them would be his execu-

The succeeding days were
tormy, but the Vigilantes kept
usy collecting evidence. Plummer,
of their activities, felt that
crisis was near, and at dusk one

crate followers, had their best

;ticed riding past at a gallop, turn
ing suddenly and shooting at the
mark. They became the most ex-
pert of pistol shots, and they used
the same methods on the road.
They passed their intended victim
at top speed, swung their horses
about lightning-quick, covered the
wayfarer with one or two guns, and
if he did not instantly comply with
their demands, he fell dead with a
bullet in his heart.
Plummer's men had their method
of operating thoroughly systema-
tized. By means of messengers,
whose slightest failure to obey or
ders spelled instant death, they
kept up constant communication
between Bannack and Virginia
City, the two most important early
gold camps. Every road and trail
was watched carefully day and
night. Whenever a miner made a
rich strike the news was sped to
headquarters and record made of
it. No quantity of gold dust ever
left either camp in those early days

some mysterious means. Often it
was a peculiar knot in a necktie.
