Thursday for an intercollegiate uto-
pia, where football gate receipts win
be Of minor importance.
stressing the necessity Of removing
the danger Of another drastic loss of
football receipts, which he said
hangs over our head like q sword Of

policy to place the entire Harvard

Is all other university activities, which
are largely supported by endowments.
DR.. Conant pointed out, however,
that this plan would not be complet-
ed for many years. He predicted that
the near future would find Harvard
equipped with fund large enough
to provide income for quarter Of its
athletic budget, which amounts to

erness, as had been their tendencies at
home. The wilderness found its own
way of furnishing the lawless in an
isolated empire; the good citizen car
ried with him the tenets of religion and
memory of the ties of fraternal BROTH
erhood left behind, but in his isolated
condition it was not possible to apply
them in practice.
The discovery of gold drew to favored
gulches many of the wilderness men,
along with the hordes of newcomer to
the West. These newcomers, too, were
of all kinds and classifications; the
only difference was that they now con-
gregated in busting, crowded COM
munities. creating an ideal atmosphere
for the outlaw in the midst of disor-
ganization and lack of constituted au-
thority.
1t was only when the road agents,
following each new mining camp and
growing daily more arrogant, were ov-
erwhelmingly in the ascendency that
the good men of Bannack had begun
seeking a common rallying point for
decent men; that common ground was
hard to find, for all men we're strang-
ers, except to the few of their own
immediate party. Every man doubted
the man he did not know. 1t was not
until the death of Bell and his request

for a Masonic funeral that a bond OF
common interest drew law-abiding men
together in any numbers.
Within a year from that time the
men who had rallied round the Ma
sonic banner were called upon to purge
Montana of lawlesSness. 1t is averred
that, though every Vigilante was not
necessarily a Mason, just about every
Mason was q Vigilante.
Montana Masons today credit N. P.
Langford with being the father of Ma
sonry in Montana. Langford in his
own writings was modest as TO his own
part, but he tells in some detail OF
Bells funeral. The late Rae j. Lemert,
former historian of the Montana Grand
Lodge, repeats Langford's description
of his earliest Masonic activities in the
mountains, and supplements the Bell
funeral episode.
Langfcrd, lately young Master Of Pa
cific lodge No. 10, st. Paul, Mimi, came
tc Montana in 1862 with the wagon
train of Capt. James L. Fisk, as second
in command. Travelling by way of Fort
btlllOll, tllC u ali Moo bOuliQ LII fFdiia
Walla. Langford and others stopped
at Prickly Pear valley, expecting to I've
during the winter by mining. Failing
tc find what they wanted, Langford
and others went on to Deer Lodge and
then to Bannack.
Before a grand lodge meeting in lat
err years, Langford described the first
Masonic lodge held in the territory.
ut was a clear September twilight
v hen we camped OF the western side
of the range of the Rocky mountains,
where they are crossed by the Mullan
road. The labors of the day over, three
of our number, a brother named Charl-
ton, another whose name l have for
gotten, and myself, the only three
Master Masons in the company, i'm
pressed with the grandeur Of the
mountain scenery and the mild beauty
of the evening, assembled the mountain
to its summit, and there, in imitation
of our ancient brethren, opened and
closed an informal lodge of Master Ma
sons. Never was the fraternal
clasp more cordial than when in the
glory of that beautiful autumnal eve
ming we opened and closed the first
lodge ever assembled in Montana. That
fact will render the spot sacred; and
nee known among Masons, it will
never be forgotten, that the first lodge
in the territory vas opened and closed
upon the summit of the Rocky noun

desire to become a Free Mason. So
great we're his persuasive powers, says
Langford, that he succeeded in con-
vincing some members of the order
that in all his past affrays he had been
actuated only by self defense and was
not inherently criminal.
Both Langford and Lemert declare
that SO strong was the roughs' fear of
the Masonic fraternity that they were
restrained from attacking its individual
members. OF the 102 persons murdered
by Plummer's gang not n was known
to be a Mason. Also, declared Lang
ford, of all the band of desperadoes
who expiated lives of crime on the
scaffold, not n had ever crossed the
threshold Of a lodge room. Langford
adds: 1.-THE retribution which finally
overlook them had its origin in prime
iples traceable to that stalwart morality
which is ever the offspring of Masonic
and religious institutions"
Lemert, however, casually alludes to
IN occasion when an early day lodge
discovered its tyler was an outlaw and
impostor and abandoned him to the
tender mercies of the V~igilantes, who
promptly hanged him from a conven-
lent tree"
With but few exceptions, every name
prominent in Vigilante days and in the
following years when Montana strobe
onward toward her destiny was the
name Of a Mason. Many of these men
had held positions of trust and re-
sponsibility In older states; their names
are o emblazoned upon the scrolls of
state and national fame.
Immediately after the death of Bell
applications were made for authority
to- open lodges in Montana; distances
were long and communication slow, and
some of the applications made and
granted were never used, so fast did the
map of Montana change with the find
ing of new gold deposits.
Finally, on Dec. 20, 1864, the Kansas
Grand lodge granted authority for a
lodge, No. 43, at Virginia City. On April
20, 1865, the Colorado Grand Lodge
authorized a second lodge at Virginia
City, and on July 10, 1865, the same
jurisdiction gave Helena a lodge. These
three lodges or Jan. "a, 1866, formed
the Montana Grand Lodge. On Jan.
20 the new grand lodge designated
these lodges, respectively, Virginia City
No. /, Montana No. 2, and Helena No.
3. To these lodges have been added
another lao subordinate lodges and to-
Gay, with the Montana Grand Lodge 10
years old, the Masonic fraternity has a
membership of 10000.
Discussing those parlous days at
Bannack and Virginia City, Historian
Lemert says:
Had it not been that the law-abid-
ing element found a sure nucleus of
fraternity, about which all decent men
might rally royalty, without fear of
t%reacherous betrayal, the reign of crime
in early Montana might have continued
for an indefinite time, until the out
laws had seated themselves so firmly
that the shedding of rivers of innocent
blood would have been necessary before
they could have been driven from their
strongly intrenched positions"

lRY ELNOl


The last request of a dying man,
projected into an atmosphere of mis-
trust, worry and the fear of ruthless
outlawry, called 10 the surface the
keystone of confidence and mutual
trust around which decent men raj
lied TO break the thralldom Of the
road agents in Montana's early min
ing camps. William III. Bell, recently
OF st. Louis, Mo-, and a Free Mason,
was fatally stricken with mountain
fever at Bannack in November, 1862.
As an indicator of the conditions of
the time, Bells death was the first
natural death to occur at Bannack.
Realizing that his end was near, Bell
revealed to N. P. Langford and a few
bership, and asked that he be given a
Masonic funeral.
Doubling that a sufficient number
of Masons could be found to carry out
the ritual, a call was issued for all
Masons to meet at the cabin of c.. j.
Miller, one of the few known Masons
in the camp. To the surprise of all,
the number who responded was esti-
mated at 125.
Far into the night Langford and
others inquired into the qualifications
of all who had answered the call.
Seventy-six of them laid aside their
labors next day to pay tribute at the
grave of a departed brother.
Before that first conclave had dis
persed agreement had been made to
apply for permission to open at Ban
mack a lodge for Free Masonry. Here
was the first gathering in the territory
Of men of known integrity, of proved
qualifications, in whom reliance could
be placed in a fight for law and order
when the actual character of suspected
outlaws could be sufficiently proved to
justify retaliatory action.
Thus it was that fraternal ties, estab-
lished back home" brought together
good men and true in mutual trust
about a central banner of confidence
in a lawless land. Until the death of
their Brother Bell, no individual of
that first gathering had suspected there
were more than a handful of Masons
In their vicinity.
