Accordingly, having ascertained
that six of the band were still re-
naming in Virginia City, the ex-
ecutive committee decided upon eff
fectual means for their immediate
arrest. On the thirteenth day Of
January, three days after Plummer
was executed, an order was quietly
made for the Vigilantes to assemble
at night in sufficient force to SUR
round the city.
Not a man was to be permitted
to leave the city after the line of
guards was established. Bill Hun
ter, one of the six marked for cap
ture, suspecting the plot, escaped
by crawling beyond the pickets in
a drain ditch. The city was encir-
cled, after nightfall, by more than
500 armed men, so quietly that none
