a pickle.
1t seems that the story, as stories

Il then exclaimed, Henry Plummer.'
We then compared notes"
Can the reader not picture this scene?
The two men behind locked doors, al
most afraid to confide in one another.
1t gives one an accurate idea of the
situation as nothing else could. The
doors were locked, but it vas the part
of wisdom to scan every corner of the
ROOM. before acknowledging any doubt
Of efficient sheriff.
Admitted to Councils
From the day of this mutual inter
change of opinions concerning the rob-
berries, Judge Thompson was admitted
to the confidence of the Bannack ele-
ment opposed to Plummer. He heard of
the plan to arrest the oad agents, and
was almost tempted TO warn Plummer.
Nothing shows more conclusively the
personal magnetism of the head of the
road agents. than his ability to win the
affection, If not the esteem of honorable
men.
The Thompson "reminiscences state
that the night Plummer was hanged a
choir meeting was to be held at the
house of Colonel Sanders, between which
building, and the Vail house where
Plummer boarded, stood hat of Mr..
zoller. My cousin, Miss Lucia Darling,
and myself constituted half, and some
times two-thirds of the choir. AS we
were about to leave for the meeting my
mother remarked: Girls, you will not
go tonight" and explained why 1T would
be inadvisable for us to do SO. / have
no recollection of this; what followed
on that eventful night, erased 1t from
my memory.
Judge Thompson mentions the occa-
sion when Plummer and another man
were about to. attack one another in his
store, and three or four young girls
myself among the number-were pres
ent. Weapons were drawn, and would
have been effectively used, had not
Judge Thompson INTERVIEWED and per-
suaded, or forced both of the men to
leave the store. but no before Plummer
made a lunge with a knife at Thomp-
sons face. l did not see this, being in
full flight at the time. Later, Plummer
a~pologized to Thompson for the occur
renee. I was standing near the two men
at the beginning of the quarrel. Its end
saw me a long distance from the store.
This affair happened on Jan. /, 1868, but
a short time before Plummer was hanged.
In Territorial Council
Judge Thompson was q member Of the
first territorial council, n as a mem
Der Of that body. aided In enacting some
far-reaching laws Of incalculable benefit
