on their duties, amid greater embarrass-

they commenced, whether they were
numerically equal to the task. The
sources of official power had been mon
opolized by the very class which preyed
upon society. The greatest william of
them all-with hands reeking with the
blood of numerous victims-was the
principal ministerial officer of the ter

wretches who had become hardened in
the bloody trade, years before they
came here to practice it. In this on

of two courses to pursue-to hang the
offenders or submit to their authority,

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
er Of the first Vigilantes which
captured George Ives, the muir
derer, and during his trial and
execution acted as commander of
the guards, which prevented fur
ther bloodshed.
The story continued with the
organization of the Vigilantes in
to q strong and well-governed
organization and their drive
against the road agents; the cap
ture of Yager and Brown, their
trial and execution and of Sheriff
Plummer's capture and execution.
The main drive against the
"Roughs" was made on the
morning Of Jan. IA, 1864, during
which time many outlaws were
captured and hanged. After this
episode the Vigilantes were not
very active, until they were
compelled to execute Slade, for
his disregard Of the miners law
and his habit Of going on pro-
tracted sprees and causing much
unnecessary trouble In the set

PART FIVE
The posse started on, reaching Port
neuf at II in the morning, learning
during the breakfast hour that a party
of California prospectors had caught
Kelly in a hay stack some distance
from Portneuf station. On their way to
join the Californians, Williams, who
was riding ahead, saw the dead body of
a man floating in the creek. It was
found that the man had been shot in
the back Of the head, his body wrapped
in a gray blanket, and then thrown in
to the stream. Two nearby camp fires
seemed to be 10 or is days old. Dur
ing the recovery and burial of the body,
Williams said:
"Boys, I have a feeling that I will be
present at the execution of the murderer
of this man within q year"
Kelly was found in the custody Of
the C~alifornians. A trial was called
Immediately, and upon the evidence
adduced Kelly was condemned to death.
He said he thought it was pretty rough
to hang him after he had submitted to
the whipping in Alder Gulch, but called
for a smoke, which he enjoyed. In his
presence the hangman's knot was tied

preparations for the execution were
amusing incident of the trip-it was
more amusing to the Vigilantes, per-
haps, because it somewhat relieved the
tension necessarily attendant upon the
infliction of the terrible penalty.
At the very spot Of execution there
was an Indian camp and the warriors
were lying about well-nigh surfeited
after a hot dog (not hotdog) dinner.
Some seem to think the Indians stom-
ach is not affected by the condition of
his nerves, but, as this happening tends
to show, that idea is erroneous. The
Indian has a horror of death by hang
ing; the warriors viewed the gruesome,
business-like preparations with amaze
ment, then CONSERVATION, and when
the body of the condemned man was
launched into the air the warriors lost
their dinners. The Californians arriv-
ed about this time and assisted the Wig
ilantes in burying the outlaw in a will
low coffin which they constructed.
The Vigilantes then returned home.
Shortly thereafter they found that a
man named John Dolan had robbed
one Brady, a resident of Nevada of $500
in gold, and had fled the country. The
identity of the robber was not known
for sometime, but when it was ascer-
tanned that Dolan was the man the
executive committee dispatched a Wig
ilante-probably Thomas Baume-to
Salt Lake City with directions to arrest
him and bring him to Alder Gulch-
the arm of the V~igilantes was long.
In the meantime 1t was disccv-
cred that Dolan was IN associate of
Kelly, but recently hanged at Snake
river. When the Vigilante got back to
Alder Gulch with his captive. Dolan
was placed on trial. Stolen nuggets
worth $500 were in his possession when
he was arrested. After q lengthy trial
Dolan was found guilty, and sentenced
to death by unanimous vote. He then
broke down, confessed the crime, and

Christian Growth. Luke 2:42-52 (;
II Peter 1873, for Sunday, Nov. A /:
What are the essentials of Chris
tian growth?
How does one increase in favor
with God?
Why are men so often one-sided
and stunted in character?
What are the perils of stoppage
in spiritual growth?
What are the signs of Christian
growth?
How can we become happier and
more useful Christians?
Glorious says: Life with Christ
was not idleness. or wealth, or
pleasure, but service in his Fathers
world. Here is law of Christian
growth; to find our place and mis-
sion in the world and to fulfill it.
Everyone should discover as early
as possible their mission IN life as
some form of the Fathers busi-
ness"
Lesson prayer: Eve are thankful
for capacities of growth and de-
velopment, physical and mental and
spiritual. Help us to watch and
pray that nothing shall interfere
which will produce a stunted life."

Christian Growth, Luke 2:42-52;
IL Peter 1873, for Sunday. Nov. 4:
After four lessons in Christian
principles-FeIlowship with Christ,
Prayer and Bible Study and Chris
tian Standards. we come to a les
son on progress in all these mat
ters.
v. AZ. "And when he was twelve
years old, they went up after the
custom Of the feast" The faithful
attended the annual Feast of Pass
over at Jerusalem; Jesus, the lad
of twelve had arrived at legal age
when some individual responsible
ties were to be assumed Here is a
lesson in church going. If parents
want church-going children they
must go themselves.
VS.. 43. A, As. "And when they
had fulfilled the days, as they were
returning, the boy Jesus tarried be-
hind at Jerusalem; and his parents
knew it not; but supposing him to
be in the company, they went a
days journey; and they sought for
him among their kinsfolk and ac-
quaintance and when they found
him not they returned to Jerusalem,
seeking for him. Jesus as boy
earnestly sought the highest knowl-
edge, being SO interested as to for
get his surroundings. Joseph and
Mary had confidence in their boy
and gave him the freedom to learn
and worship. 1t is natural for par

is a philosophy of life that satisfies
V. so. "And they understood not
the saying which he spake unto
them" Fortunately for Jesus, he
had parents who, while not under
standing him, were yet tender and
patient with him.
V. 81. "And he went down with
them and came to Nazareth; and he
was subject to them; but his moth
er kept all these sayings in hel
heart" Obedience was the dispo.
sition and joy of Jesus. Obedience
is the foundation stone on which
all life is built and it is laid in the
home by obeying parents; it is the
fundamental law of growth.
v. So. "And Jesus advanced in
wisdom and stature, and in favor
with God and man." The favor OF
God assures the favor of good men
Power with God guarantees power
with men. Far more than we think
spiritual power is the chief dynamic
in the world.

ents to be anxious for their chill
dren.
V. 46. "And it came to pass, af-
ter three days they found him in the
temple, sitting in the midst of the
teachers, both hearing and asking
questions" Joseph and Mary spent
one day in retracing their steps and
one day in looking many places in
Jerusalem, finally going to the tenn
pie. Children are safe when they
are found tarrying in Gods house.
There is something wrong when
there is an increasing demand for
shorter services in the house of
God.
v. At. ''And all that heard him
were amazed at his understanding
and his answers" While Jesus was
mainly a listener and learner, his
intelligence and answers amazed
the temple teachers, as we'll as his
questions The soul that contacts
with others who have the knowl-
edge of God is certain to grow
spiritually. This is one way in which
the soul is enriched in services Of
public worship.
v. 48. "And when they saw him,
they were astonished, and his moth
er said unto him, Son, why hast
thou dealt thus with us? Behold thy
father and I have sought thee sor-
rowing" Here is parental chastise
ment not well founded because of
lack of understanding. 1t is a good
rule for parents to be slow to chas-
tise, being first sure of grounds for
criticism. 1t is Mary who speaks,
as it is she who has the great
mother-love that will suffer every
thing for her child.
v. 40. "And he said unto them,
How is it that We sought me? Know
ye not that / must be in my faith
er's house?" Here are two great
teachings pertinent to young man
hood and womanhood. They are an
swers to two questions: First, Who
am I second, What am I here for?
The answer to the first question is,
I am Son of God. The answer to
the second is, / am here to help for

FRED McTNTURF'S STAND ON
SCHOOL ISSUE

The Republican and Democratic
Platforms on the school subject are
Numerically opposed to each other.
The Republican Platform pledges
the party to the principle that the
financing of the public school sys-
tenn is an obligation of state gov
ernment. 1t further pledges if
elected to power, that it will pro-
vide a financial program which will
support and maintain an adequate
minimum standard of education
throughout the state. with public
safeguards guaranteeing local con-
troll 1t further pledges it's support
for the PUBLIC school system.
On the other hand, the Demo-
cratic Platform provides that the
local school district must vote eX-
ira levies and exhaust every re-
source to cover it's own school sys-
tenn. 1t then says in substance
that after the local district has
taxed itself to the utmost limit, if
that limit will not pay for min
imum standard of education, it will
be system of state aid supplying
the difference required in money.
The Democratic Platform further
is so written as to provide help for
other than the public schools.
