FAMOUS SUN RIVER LEAW1MGS STAGE STATION

man, they at once identified him
and he realized there was no hope
for him.
This murder occurred in 1882
when Vigilante Days and Ways
belonged to the past, and mobs nc
longr attempted to usurp offices
of Judge, Jury and Sheriff. But
this fragrant crime, the cowboys
felt, did not call for the slow action
of the law. A defenseless woman
"a friend of theirs-had been
brutally killed for her money. Her
murderer had been positively iden-
titled. Why wait longer to avenge
her?
So they thought, and so they
acted. A gallows was improvised
of some sort. Perhaps it was like
the earlier ones--it had no drop,
the condemned man being drawn
up, in which case several men acted
as hangman. Whatever method
was used, it proved to be effective,
and Jack Stuart paid the penalty of
his infamous deed.
(For information regarding the
murder, am indebted to
Col. James Stanford, and Mr.. Spencer
VI. E .P.)
