OVER zEALOUS HANGHMGS BY THE SO-GALLED
vlGILAMTES AIT DEER LODGE AND DIM ALDER
GWLCH AS DESCRIBED BY AIN EYEWITNESS

the old VigilanteS were implicated
however, in this miscarriage of JUS
tice, for such it proved to be. A
steer had been stolen from Reese
Henderson and suspicion rested up
on Johnson. He bore none too good
a reputation in the town and was
known as a petty thief. His dis
position to take property which did
not belong to him was the strong
est evidence against him.
He was arrested while, it was said,
in possession of a steer that did not
belong to him. There was no jail
at the time and guards cost $40 a
day. It was too expensive a luxury
to keep Johnson for a long time and
in spite of his protestations he was
put to trial at once.
The case against him, according to
DR.. Hardenbrook's version, was this:
The steer had been stolen; he was
known to be a thief; consequently he
stole it. 1t was conclusive evidence
to the jury and he was promptly
found guilty and swung into etern-
ity from the limb of a convenient tree.
In the spring the missing steer came
back but Johnson was held down by
several feet of earth and sod. 1t
was at least c~onsoling to consider
that johnson would have eventually
met the same fate, if he had been
permitted to continue his vocation.
DR.. Holdenbrook told Of another
hanging which took place in Alder
gulch in August of 1864, which the
man who clicked the BEAM GER
tain1y deserved a milder fate than an
eternity for which he was not pre-
pared, but the stern justice of those
early days knew no moderation.
A man by the name of Brady came
to Alder gulch from Iowa and opened
a saloon. He was a young man, ge-
Dial, open-hearted and generous,
save when under the influence of
his own wares, which unfortunately
at the time the tragedy occurred, was
getting to be most of the time. He
had around the saloon an assistant,
Kelly, who likewise was under the
influence of liquor most of the time.
A miner by the name of Lynch
dropped into the saloon one evening
his way from work. Kelly was on
shift and what occurred in the sal
DON is not known.
DIR. Hardenbrook's office was just
across the street. The doctor saw
Lynch come out and go down the
street. He had progressed but a few
feet when Kelly emerged from the
with a siX-shooter and began
swapping it at Lynch. Fortunately
the gun failed to go off. The doctor

- F the many men who in the
early days were hanged in

NF the many men who in the
early days were hanged in
~ Montana, it can be said of most
Of them that they richly deserved
their fate. But, as is perfectly nat
ural and to be expected, there were
instances where innocent men paid
the penalty of a crime they never
committed
When Montana was young, it was
the strong arm of the Vigilantes
ritory of desperadoes, and few there
were who questioned the justice of
the acts of this law-enforcment body.
In the history of the great frontier
movement which found a wilderness
in it's path and left behind it civiliz-
alton, the movement which redeemed
a continent, there have always been
two classes of people. One is consti-
tued by the immigrant the trail
blazer who has left his native state
for love of adventure and in the hope
of finding wealth and a new home.
The other class comprises those who
are forced by a criminal past to keep
on the fringe of civilization.
These latter were the men who,
floating into Bannack and Virginia
City on the wave of immigration,
gave to those two mining camps as
varied and desperate an assortment
of unchanged rascals as the world
has ever known. When their crimes
became too notorious the former
class arose and organized the Vigil
antes, who quickly cleared the ter
ritory of the deperadoes, and others
who were assuming a self-appointed
management of things according to
their own lawless liking. How thor
oughly they did their work is another
story oft times told.
AS the murderers and bandits
cleared out, the old %organiza-
ton of Vigilantes fell away from it's
high ideal and was worked at times
as an instrument to satisfy personal
spite by INSCRIPTIONS men who at
times gained control, and as a re-
suit there are instances where men
were hanged by miscarriage of JUS
tice.
Doctor Hardenbrook, who in the
late nineties was coroner of Deer
county, who had come to
Montana in 1868, and who had been
eyewitness to the operations of
the original Vigilantes, was an au-
in relation to two instances
where the death penalty was said to
have been unjustly inflicted.
In the winter of 1866 a man by the
name of Johnson vas hanged in Deer
for stealing a steer. None of

Death of Former Senator Cole In
California Marks Close of A Most
Remarkable Career--1O2 Years Old

I his political career and that of his
wife, who shared his early exper-
fences, he was chosen a delegate to
the convention which nominated Ere
mont for president and she was 4
member of the delegation to the con-
vention that nominated Charles E.
E. Hughes for the same office more
than half a century later. During
the Civil war Mr.. Cole occupied a
seat in the house of representatives
and later in the senate where he serv-
ed as chairman of the committee on
appropriations.
He was one of the group of a
dozen men who met in the law office
of Coils P. Huntington and Mark
Hopkins in Sacramento and organic
ed the Central Pacific Railroad com
pany and, as a member of congress,
brought about the enactment of laws
that made the building of the trans
continental railway possible.
Mr.. Cole was born at Lodi, N. Y,
September IT, 1922. He studied law
in the office of William H. Seward,
who later became secretary of state
under Lincoln. In 1849 he went to
Sacramento, CAL, and with three
companions, t'panned" gold with
varying success until in famed Ore
gon gulch, they struck a rich pocket
one days work on which Melted them
$1,849. They o o sold this claim
for $1,000. The locality subsequent
ly became famous under the name of
Sailors Slide or Mamaluke hill, from
which millions of dollars in coarse
gold were taken.
For the next IL years Mr.. Cole
practiced law in San Francisco and in
1853 he married Miss Olive Col
grove. In 1863 he was elected a
representative in congress.
AS a member of the United States
senate he actively opposed a bill
granting Goat Island in San Fran
cisco bay to the Central Pacific Rail
road company as a terminal site and
thereby, he felt, incurred the enmity
of his former friends and associates.
To their opposition and that of the
so-called whiskey ring and national
banking interests, which he had an
tagonized, he attributed his defeat for
rejection. His term in the senate ex-
tended from 1866 to 1873.
Mr.. Cole was on cordial terms with
President Lincoln.

was trying to shoot him. Lynch
turned as Kelly snapped the last
chamber of the gun and, picking up a
rock, ran to the saloon and threw it
through the window at the would-be
murderer. Then he continued I'M
molested down the street.
Later in the evening Lynch re-
turned to the saloon to see Brady and
to explain. Brady saw him coming
and grabbing a rifle, stepped out the
back door as Lynch entered. He was
drunk at the time which probably in
terfered with his craftsmanship. He
slipped to the front door, drew a
bead on his unconscious victim and
fired. Lynch fell to the floor with
only a flesh wound, from which, after
proper care, he soon recovered.
The so-called Vigilantes immed-
lately picked the matter up and Brady
was arrested. There had recently
been a great influx of pilgrims and
it was decided that an example was
necessary. Brady was given the US
ual trial and ample opportunity to
defend himself. The tide of opinion
was turning somewhat in his favor.
when, in reply to a question from the
prosecution, he admitted that when
he fired he intended to kill Lynch.
1t was a fatal admission and vir-
tually placed the moose about his
neck. He was found guilty and or
dered hanged. Preparations we're
Immediately made for the execution,
as there were in those days no de-
lays permitted for new trials, appeals
or executive clemency. An admir-
able spot was chosen for the hang
ing, so arranged that the spectators,
of whom there were thousands. could
view the execution from the sides of
the gulch. A beef reel was used as
the gallows.
When the hour arrived the space
around the gallows was packed with
spectators, many of them fresh from
the east. Immediately surrounding
the condemned man was an armed
guard of 100 men. When the time
came the captain shouted, about
Face" and some wag in the crowd
called out, Don't shoot! Don't
shoot"
That was enough for the tender
feet in the crowd and with cries of
alarm they stampeded down the hill
and of the many who had gathered
only a small number remained to see
Brady take his last jump. An UNI
willing and involuntary spectator,
Kelly, under guard, was forced, as a
warning, to see his employer swing.

Keep Warm to Avoid
Accidents Inn Winter
Driving, Says A. A. A.

keep warm and be safe" says
the touring and transportation
board of the American Automobile
association in a special bulletin is
sued from its headquarters at
Washington recently, as a warn
ing to motorists who plan to use
their cars in cold weather.
The A. A. A. board points out that
carelessness in cold weather driving
is largely a result of being cold,
Keep as warm az possible when
driving in cold weather and it will be
easier to observe the simple rules of
caution" it urges.
According to the A. A. A. a large
percentage of the winter-time acct
dents are preventable, warming de-
vices being the preventative.
''These should include suitable
clothing, particularly warm gloves"
says the bulletin. "Too many driv-
ers are handicapped by numb fling
ers during the periods of cold weather
driving, so that if they are called up
on to shift gears, use the emergency
brake, or dim the headlights, they
are at a loss.
'It is foolhardy to attempt to
make great milage in the late fall or
early spring months, without suffi-
cient stopovers for hot drinks and
food. 1t requires more energy to
fight the elements in winter, and
drivers cannot afford to feel that be-
cause they are stimulated by a snappy
air they can endure more strenuous
driving.
Keeping warn is the first rule of
keeping safe in cold weather. Closed
cars are proving their value in this
connection, but even here the motor
ist must take definite precautions
against %subjecting himself to nne-
cessary exposure, and thus to I'M
necessary hazards"

WILL TRY EXPERIMENT
IN MAKING FARMS PAY

Word has been received from
Malta, Mont, that agricultural ex-
periments to be conducted in Mon
tana for 10 years on several differ
ent farms, to determine the methods
by which farming may be made to
pay owe a series of years if hand
led correctly, will be established on
a big scale beginning next spring.
The money for them, $1,000, 600, has
been donated by a member of the
Rockefeller family and is to be ad-
ministered by the Pathways Farm
corporation.
One of the big phases of the plan
is the effort to stabilize Montana's
agriculture and reduce to a minimum
the hazard on farm loans.

ing conditions, thereby nullifying the wage boost, which is estimated to total more than $4,OOO,000 annually.
 Discussing the Labor Boards award, which was handed down at Chicago, Mr. Richberg intimated that the rail- road workers had good grounds for be- lieving that they have been double crossed" by the board. He said that the changes i'll working. rules will give a permanent gain to the railroads, as working rules, once established, are very difficult to change. On the other hand, the pay increase is only temporary gain for the railroad employees, as it is comparatively easy to secure changes in pay schedules.
 The decision of the Labor Board Is said to be unique in that it was given without the taking of testimony from the railroad workers. The ninety gen. eral chairman representing the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginernen, who were summoned before the board last June, refused to testify.
 The board filed charges against the
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-12-13

Brotherhood officials and in two test cases Judge Wilkerson found them guilty of contempt. One of these cases has been appealed to the United States Supreme Court by MT. Richberg. The other has been appealed to Federal courts in Illinois.
 The wage movement on the Western railroads started early this year. The men met the managers of the railroads ion the Spring but found the negotia tions unsatisfactory, as the managers were not authorized to make any agree ments. Instead,> they tried to whittle down the demands of the workers until finally the conferences broke up.
 The railroads are given until Decem- Der Is to reject or accept the award of the Labor Board and the workers are given until January 1, 1925.
