BY reason of the time-honorei
methods Of celebrating holidays before
the 18th amendment had been heard
of, Higganbotham was p!tch-forked
into the honor of driving the stage
which carried the last mail south out
Of Butte, when, in 1881, stage service
was discontinued upon the completion
of the Oregon Short Line to Silver
Bow. The railroad was then known
said, and the last stage trip was made
on Christmas day.
"Tll never forget that Christmas
celebration" he said. That was the
day that Joe Campbell and Bodie Joe
had a shooting scrape in King &
Lowry's saloon on Main street. Joe
Campbell killed Bodie Joe that day.
George Moshier was the agent for
Gilmore 81 Salisbury, who ran the
stage line. and the barn and office
we're at and 7 West Quartz street.
We were moving the stage office to
Silver Bow that day and everybody in
the outfit was celebrating Christmas
at the same time. and they forgot
all about the mail until after the las.
wagon had gone.
He Started Early
II had started my celebration early
and so on Christmas 1 was working
on the grain wagon, hauling grain
from the Deer Lodge valley to Butte.
which was the way they had Of filming
us for discipline. remember George
gave me 10 days on the grain wagon
for starting my celebration before the
right time. pulled into the barn with
the grain wagon Just after the last
stage had pulled out, and there was
the mail lying on the floor, and II
was up TO me, so the last mail out of
Butte was hauled in the grain wagon
to South Butte.
1T reminded me OF what the Bible
says about The last shall be frs.
and the first shall be last I was the
first man to carry the mail into Butte
and the last man to carry it out OF
here"
/ Following the suspension of the
stage service, Higganbotham went into
/ business in Butte, purchasing a livery
stable from Red Clark He operated
the stable, which was located on Yves.
Broadway, for year before the
establishment burned out and he LOST
/ his entire investment.
II have read many times that Fat
Jack put the first hack on the streets
Of Butte, but that is a mistake" he
declared. T. put the first hack on the
streets from my stable on West Broad
way and ran it for two days and then
sold it to Fat jack and Tom Mays
I had a team Of grays on that hack
that I bought after nobody could dc

rowed their outfits to wear into Butte.
The thermometer at the corner of
Granite and Main registered &c de-
grees below zero that day and we put
the busters on over our buffalo coats
and when we pulled around the corner
of Montana and Park we ditched our
caps and put on the straw hats and
came into town on the run.
How They Kept Warm
Brown, the lean Job artist on the
paper, saw us coming up the street
hell bent, with the busters flying and
waving the straw hats. The next day
the paper had a big piece about the
stove the stage drivers and shotgun
messengers carried inside Of them.
Another funny thing happened
when I was driving the stage from
Melrose to Butte. used to have tc
cross a bridge that was down there
where those buildings are on the west
side of town Bill Warfield, the chief
of police, and Pete Hanson, another
driver were on the seat this day and
didn't pay any attention to a sign
that said $50 fine for crossing faster
than a walk When hit the bridge l
just shook them up and let them go.
'Warfield said, Say, can't you see
that sign?' but Pete saved me.
He said: oh, that's all right, Bill.

called the runaway grays.' I sold

Following the fire which destroyed
his livery business, Higganbotham
went to work hauling ore for the
Boston 81 Montana Mining company
in Meaderville, and he was employed
in a similar capacity by the Anaconda
company. The next year was spent
in the Occur dAlenes, where a stake
