Mostly they lived in dugouts and soddies. There were few cattle and horses. "A horse thief was worse than a murderer," said Mr, Donohoe. "Finally the rigi lantes put an end to horse stealing. “I remember one fellow they took to a judge, who had been afraid to do anything. He took one look at the vigilantes and asked the thief one question: ‘Did you steal that horse?’ The thief nodded and the judge gave him 20 years right there.” One of the colonists, Owen F. Biglin, became mayor of the town. “There were just a few shacks here for a town when we got here,” Mr. Donohoe said. One of the Pennsylvanians. John ^IcCann, drowned while crossing a swollen stream in a buggy, he recalled. Mrs. Marsh, nee Kate Menish, said she remembers relatives and friends gave them a sendoff at the Scranton railroad station. “It was just like leaving for the unknown,” she said. The dugouts and soddies, she said, were surprisingly snug.
