Il reported the proposition to Fred

Sunday Was Just Another
Day in EarIy-Day Bannack;
Preachers Had Difficulties

Religious life in the boom days Of
Bannack. cut a very minor swath IN
the gold towns activity, according 70
all accounts. and while few attended
church services and had high STAN
dards of conduct, Sunday. in the
main. was Just another day in the
week, with saloons and dance halls
experiencing little or no lun IN busi-
ness.
writing of her experiences in Ban
mack, the late Martha Edgerton PlaSS-
mann, daughter of Sidney Edgerton,
first territorial governor. said no
church existed In the town when she
went there and that the mines, placer
diggings, dance halls and saloons ran
without intermission, religion being
held subordinate to profit.
THE Indians we're receiving religious
instruction from the Jesuits, who came
to what is now Montana when trap
pers and fur traders constituted It's
white population, and it was long be-
fore the Protestant clergy invaded the
field. AS usual, the first of these to
arrive was a Methodist, who might be
classed among the old-time circuit
riders. He was a good man, and SIN
cere in his belief, but Of scant edu-
cation.
after being in Bannack for while,
he managed to interest a few of its
residents in the desirability Of holding
church services on Sunday. But there
was no church. This Difficulty was
overcome by securing the use OF the
roundhouse on Yankee flats, Tor TINS
purpose. The roundhouse naturally had
no connection with a railroad, nor was
it round. According to my recollection
it was octagonal and was said to have
been built after the model Of a tepee.
It had an attached kitchen or living
room that opened into the main build
ing by a door near the rear.
I'm line with this door was a low
platform not a foot high, on which
were set a couple of rude benches and
further along a table was placed for
a pulpit. The benches were for the
choir. The room itself was Of fair size,
and could have accommodated many
lore persons than ever attended.
Choir of Three Members

and these never held rehearsal, al

no instrument to accompany us-not

given too high, and after prelim-

and we began again.

were afraid to send it by express, the
road agents being then most active
The stage from Virginia was frequent
" held up, and most of the stage
stations between that town and Ban
mack were suspected Of being rendez-
vous of the bandits.
Edgerton expected to leave in the
latter part of December. and a few
days before the date set, Henry Plum
mer went into the express office where
Henry Tilden was employed and asked
him when Edgerton was going, and If
Henry thought he would be willing to
take a small parcel for him plum
mer). This was after young Tilden
had been held up by Plummer, George
Ives and Ned Ray, and since that time
he was in constant terror lest Plum
mer should suspect that he recognized
him on that notable occasion.
His work kept him at night until
a late hour. On leaving the express
office, he would run every step Of the
way to his boarding house, and did SO
until Plummer was executed. He at
once told Edgerton of what Plummer
had said. This together with what
had recently come to light regarding
PlIrnmer's connection with the con-
slant robberies that were taking place,
convinced Edgerton that he was
marked as the next victim.
VigiIantes Consulted EdgertOn
He decided to postpone his going,
not altogether from fear of being
robbed although that might have
served as ample excuse-but on &C
count of what the Vigilantes planned
to do, which he wished to see success
fully carried out His official position
prevented him from joining that or
ganization, yet its Bannack members
never failed to consult him before act
ing. He knew the number Of the Vigi-
lantes was few, while the numerical
strength of the road agents was UNI
known. No one could predict with GER
tainty which force would win in the
struggle Plunmer, be 1t
was at that time still
sheriff of the county.
1t was February before Edgerton
went east, and then the Vigilantes
controlled the situation. The stage was
not running, and the only way to
reach Salt Lake City was by pack
train. For one who liked riding, which
Edgerton did not, it would have been
a pleasant way Of travelling In sum-
mer; but with the thermometer reg
istering 20 or 80 degrees below zero,
it was a dangerous undertaking. One

would not only suffer from the cold,
but run the risk of becoming snow
blind. There were no bridges over the
rivers, their crossing being made on
the ice, which, as one went further
south, was sometimes perilously thin.
A member of the Edgerton party at
such a crossing broke through the ice
in a place where fortunately the river
was shallow On rising to the surface
after his involuntary plunge bath, he
did not indulge in profanity, but sang
with remarkable feeling an appropri-
ate hymn, ION Jordan's stormy banks
u stand" Shall we gather at the
river" or something similar, which
only awakened the wrath Of his COM
panions who had preceded him.
Took Gold With Him
For the purpose Of impressing con-
gressmen with the wealth of this part
of Idaho, Edgerton took with him gold
in various forms. The fronts Of his
overcoat concealed a double row Of
ingots his wife had stitched in them.
His suitcase held gold dust and mug
gets, small and large.
With these was beautiful specimen,
formed by the breaking Of crucible.
It's liquid contents cooling about the
charcoal underneath made a huge
lump of what appeared to be solid
gold, and passed in the east. as the
largest nugget. There were also pieces
of rich gold-bearing quartz that could
be distinguished from pyrites even by
the uninitiated.
The gold they contained made the
suitcase and coat very heavy. Edger-
ton said he never permitted anyone
to carry either of them, for fear their
weight might arouse curiosity regard
ing what they held.
The trip to Salt Lake City accom-
plished, there was remaining the long
day and night stage journey to Ne
braSka City, and the nearest railroad
point.
Upon his arrival at washington,
Judge Edgerton lost no time In enter
ing upon the business which had
brought him there. For a couple Of
months he interviewed congressman,
and did the requisite amount Of wire
pulling to secure the formation Of the
new territory; but when 1t came TO
defining the division line between it
and Idaho, he discovered that he had
a bitter fight to maintain.
Idaho's representative claimed that
the summit Of the main chain Of the
Rockies should mark the eastern limit
Of their domain, which, to those who
look at its map today. would seem 70
furnish a more equitable division than
the present one. But with Lewiston
stin Idafo's capital, those living be-
tween the Rockies and the Bitter Root
mountains would have gained nothing
by such an arrangement. Montana
owes IL to Edgcrton that idaho did
not retain this section, SO rich In
mineral and agricultural resources.
