Morning presented a fearsome sight
to The outlaws and their sympathizers;
the tense air of excitement which per-
vaded the entire camp may easily be
imagined. Miners up and down the
gulch, anticipating something equal to
a Roman holiday, came to the city, but
many having good excuses wanted to
leave. President Pfouts appointed A.
B.. Davis, Captain Of the Junction COM
pany, pass MASTER" and that jealous
but careful man issued passes to a con-
siderable number authorizing them to
quit the city. Bill Hunter left without
a pass; when he saw armed men ION
every eminence and vantage point
round the city" he knew it was time
to go, and made his escape by crawling
down a drain ditch, being badly frozen
before he finally got away. He won a
respite only. The other five were soon
captured, and in sight of the hundreds
of armed Vigilantes and thousands of
spectators, were hanged simultaneously
from a beam which ran across the CEN
ter of an unfinished building upon the
northeast corner Of Wallace and Van
Buren, streets. The building still stands,
and to this day the beam is an object of
great interest in the ancient capital.
The moral effect Of this spectacular
blow was tremendous. The power Of
the road agents was broken, but the
power of individual outlaws to work
mischief remained.
The committee determined to capture
next those who had fled from Deer
Lodge to the Bitter Root. Williams told
me Dimsdale had the history of these
expeditions about right" and I shall
follow his narration pretty closely. On
January 18th, Williams with 20 men,
including his trusted lieutenant, K.
Beidler, and q number of those who
with him had suffered the hardships
and disappointments of the Deer Lodge
scout, set forth. Steve Marshland was
captured and executed at Clarke's Big
Hole ranch on January 18th. Bill Bum
ton was found at Deer Lodge, tried and
and convicted. He was told that he
was to be hanged, and if he had any
business to attend to he had better get
some n to do it. Thereupon Bunton
gave his gold watch to his partner,
saying that the rest Of his property
should pay his debts. Only two weeks
before he had acquired his interest in
the saloon which he "a running, by
gambling.
At the place Of execution he was
asked If he had anything to say, to
which he answered that he should like
to have his neck broken.
"Au I want" he said, lis q mountain
three hundred feet high to jump off,"
He said he would give the signal him
self, which he did. lone, two, three, here
goes it," jumping to practically
instantaneous death. K. Beidler was
detailed to remain for the purpose Of
collecting and disposing of Bunton's
property and paying his debts. "Tex,"
found with B%unton, was tried, but as
the evidence against him was not con-
elusive, he was permitted to go: this was

Plummer, murdered peaceful
and law-abiding miners and set
tiers at random, in their greedy
desire to obtain gold dust and
property.
Judge Galloway also told Of the
murder Of d. H. Dillingham;, chief
deputy under Plummer, who was
murdered in cold blood. The story
also told of the brutal murder of
q young man named Tbalt, near
Dempsey's Inn.
Captain Williams was the lead

captured George Ives, the MUIR

execution acted as commander Of

the invariable rule with the Vigilantes.
In this case a great mistake was made,
for Tex was an outlaw, a highwayman.
The posse then made its difficult way
down the river to Hell Gate where it
was known that Carter and others of
the road agents would be found. The
snow was deep and the weather very
cold. In crossing the Deer Lodge river
some of the horses broke through the
ice, and one Of the party nearly lost his
life. On the first day after leaving
Deer Lodge the party made its way
through snow two or three feet deep.
All the way the travelling was difficult
because of the deep now AS indicat-
ing the hazards Of the expedition, it
may be mentioned that in driving the
horses into camp n Of them broke his
leg in a badger hole: another by fall
ing in a hole stripped the skin from his
hind leg. The first animal was shot,
the second left until the expeditions
return. When the party eventually
reached the vicinity Of Hell Gate the
captain sent a party ahead to recon-
hotter. When within a short distance
of Hell Gate, the captain dismounted
his party and awaited the return Of the
scouting party, which returned with in
formation respecting the lay of the
land. When ready, the entire party
rushed into the settlement upon the
dead run, taking the inhabitants by
surprise. Skinner was in his saloon,
and at the command Of the Vigilantes
threw up his hands, and wa bound
with ropes. Carter, who had been run
ming about the town with q pistol in
his hand a short time before, after
shooting Johnny Cooper, was found
lying upon a lounge in a drunken con-
dition. He was bound likewise. Cooper
was found In his house wounded in
three places. He was arrested and put
in charge Of the guard.
The same night eight men were dis

1t had been ascertained that these men
were then in Virginia City. Williams
acted with characteristic energy. Dur
ing the night a Gordon of $50 men was
thrown about the city with orders to
permit any one who chose, to enter, but
to allow no one to leave without written
authority.
The captains of the companies at
Junction, Nevada, Fairweather Gin
which Virginia City vas located, Pine
Grove, Highland, and Summit districts
were directed to be in Virginia City at
ten: O'Clock on the morning of Jan. IA,
with their companies in full force; the
idea was to demonstrate the power Of
the Vigilantes as well as to execute the
six road agents.

HUGH QUINN

Quinn has been put on the spot in a
different tanner. He has been put on
the spot by the Chamber of Commerce
and its subsidiary organization called a
taxpayers association. Two years
ago, when Quinn refused to allow Nc
Mahon and the relief board to put
men on County road work and pay
them in macaroni and beans Quinn
was told that he would not be re-
elected to office. He told them in no
uncertain terms that whether elected
or defeated he proposed to hire his
own men and pay them in cash
for work done on the County Roads.
Again a hue and cry was raised when
Quinn did most of his road work hir-
ing day labor, instead of letting the
work out to contractors. Again it
was the Chamber of Commerce that
tried to get Quinn's political scalp.
Quinn held to his resolution, putting
contractors profits into wage earners'
pockets. When Quinn sought re-
election, two years ago, the daily pa
pers carried story after story about
men loafing in Browns Gulch, trying
to give the impression that Quinn was
giving the men a free picnic instead oil
building roads. The Chamber oil
Commerce and the press did their best
to defeat Quinn. At present Quinn
is facing the same problem. The

the spot during the present strike.
This is not a new experience to Free
bourn as he was in the same position
four years ago and at that time the
corporation defeated him for r%e-elec-
ton. Four years ago, Freebourn re-
fused to sanction the paying of gun
men, acting as deputy sheriffs, with
County Funds. His faithful support
of Labor, despite a sheriff who was
a corporation tool, helped the Ma
chinists, Transfers and Clerks win the
1880 strike. Freebourn has proved to
be as loyal during the present strike.
He and his aids were villified along
with those in the Sheriff's office.

STAND BEHIND FREEBOURN.

JERRY O'CONNELL

There are few people who need be
told that O'Connell has been and still
is on the spot as far as the corpora
tons are concerned. During the last
session Of the Legislature O'Connell
was told that if he continued in the
way in which he was going he was
committing political suicide. They
told him he would never get another
office in the State. O'Connell, de-
spite these threats had a one hundred
per cent Labor Record when the Leg
~islature closed.
When O'Connell made his report on
the CWA investigation in Silver Bow
County he was told that if he left out
reference to the A. c. M. Crowd his
report would be adopted. O'Connell
refused to do this and his report was
rejected. After this report was sent
to Washington, Stivers, Mcmahon and
S%paulding have been removed from
office.
When O'Connell ran for Mayor Of
Butte, the Anaconda Company made
good its boast of keeping O'Connell
out of office. He was defeated. When
he secured an appointment in Helena,
the Corporation did its level best to
have him removed or keep him from
being paid his salary.
O'Connell has stood by Labor and
was one Of three from Silver Bow
County during the last session of the
legislature to remain faithful to his
trust. The Anaconda Company, the
Montana Power and the Railroads dc
not want O'Connell for Railroad Com
missioner. THE ORGANIZED
WORKERS AND FARMERS OF
THIS STATE DO WANT O'CON-
NELL. THESE GROUPS SHOULD
get OUT AND WORK HARD TIC
PUT O'CONNELL OVER.

 Mrs. Erwin's partment was scrawled in pencil on tablet paper to Hugh J. Wade, Deputy Admin istrator of MIRA for Alaska, in whose office she had been em- ployed for several months previous to her demise.
 Was In Dazed Condition
 She had been absent from work for week before the tragedy but had told MT. Wade on Saturday that she would be at work on Mon day. AS she had not appeared MT. Wade telephoned her Monday af- ternoon about o'clock and the note was apparently written fol- lowing the telephone conversation. In it, she declared that when she had talked to him on the phone, she had been dazed and had thought it was still Sunday. She went on to say that she had fully to go to work on Monday, but had taken heavy sleeping po- ton on Saturday night which must have knocked me out for 48 hours The remainder of the note was almost illegib1e but mentioned her extreme unhappiness.
