The Wives of
Pine Flat
A New Version of an Old
Roman Legend
By F. A. MITCHELL
o
There were two settlements anions
the Nevada silver mines lu which from
the first was a rivalry. These were the
Quartz Gulch and the Pine Flat kj
ple. Both were n bad lot. The Quarts
Gulehers bad one good man among
them, while the Pine Flatters were all
bad. The good man at Quartz Gulch
wasn't good because he was naturally
inclined that way, but because he own
cd property in tho Gulch that he would
like to make valuable, and ho was pre
vented from doing so by the reputa
tion of the town. No one would Invest
money there, no one would even come
there to Investigate.
Pete Wllklus, this so called good man
of Quartz Gulch, sat down one day for
a job of thinking with a view to find
ing somo way to better the morals of
his fellow citizens, lie considered the
feasibility of shutting off their liquor
supply, or corrallng all the weapons In
the settlement under lock and key, of
liKlucIng an evangelist to come among
thetu and impregnate them with reli
gious principles. It didn't seem to Mr.
Wilkins that any of these plans were
feasible.
At last Wilkins got down to the foun
tain head of all refinement woman. If
he could only get some respectable wo
men In tho camp he believed they
would act as a palliative upon the men
and eventually bring about a butter
state of morals. The first difficulty
was to find the women, tho second to
get them to the Gulch nud the third to
keep them there long enough to pene
trate the outside coating of villainy and
get a hold on the men's better nature.
He didn't uilud the disappointment the
women would experience lu expecting
to secure husbands nud homes, but he
didn't like to be put In for a failure
It occurred to him to Interest the men
In his project. There would be no dif
ficulty in securing their approval of
bringing in tho women. The trouble
would be to Induce them to behave la
such a fashion as to Induce their more
delicate partners to remain. He called
a meeting of the citizens and thus ad
dressed them.
"Pards, I been thlnkln' o' some way
o' clttiu' the better o' them galoots
down on the flat, and I think I've hit
the nail square on the head. I'm goin
to send for n carload o' the best look In'
and most respectable women to be
found In the east to be sent out here to
beautify the town."
There was a yell of approbation, and
the orator continued:
"What we want Is decent homes.
and you can't make a home without u
woman in It. All I'm afeard of is that
If we Induce j;nd women to come In
and start homes for us you feller:' "II
scare 'em away."
fries of "We won't! fry us!"
'Bring 'em on and see!"
A collection v;is taken up, and a :nf
llcienl sum was raised for the purpose.
The scheme was popular both because
of the coming of the fair sex and lop
plus the Inhabitants of Pine Flat. Pete
Wilkins was appointed a committee of
one to carry out the project and nt
once opened up a correspondence with
a society called the Helping Hand In
an eastern city, and arrangements for
a first shipment of young women who
needed homes were made. If those
reported favorably on their reception
and the prospects before them another
shipment was to follow.
The probability Is that all would have
worked well bad It not been that cer
tain citizens of the town were so puffed
np with pride at their prospective out
doing of Pine Flat that they must
needs crow over their rivals before
their chickens were hatched. When It
wns learned by those of the Flat that
tho Gulehers were going to have a
cargo of women scut out from tho east
there was a feeling among the latter
that something must be done. Various
propositions were made to see this In
novation and go their rival one better,
but they were cither Impracticable or
absurd. One stupid churl suggested
that they send for a cargo of monkeys;
another that a number of wax figures
In the show windows of city stores be
bought up and placed In tho windows
of the shnutles. suggesting tho presence
of a housekeeper.
Ono suggestion was received with t
howl of delight. Aaron Skinner, wh
before going to the bad had tnngh.
school, thus spoke to a crowd of his
fellow citizens who wcro Mounting the
question:
"It seems to me." he said, "that by
blabbln' tho Gulehers have given us
an advantage over 'em. What we
want to do Is flrHt to lay our plan and
then shoot any ono of our number w
see heading for the Gulch, so that ho
can't give It away. There was once
a lot of fellers who started a town
they named Rome. Not far off wn.s
another town, the people of which
were called Sablnes. The Romnns
were ns bad off for want of women as
we or the Gulehers. but the Sablnes
bad plenty of 'em. The Romans Invit
ed the Sablnes with their wives and
daughters to a blowout, and nt a sig
nal the Romans picked up the women
and run 'em off. Now, what 1 propose
Is to go out and meet these gals that's
coming to the Gulehers before they
git to the end of the journey aud run
'cm Id here."
Judging from the cries of approba
tion that met this proposal, the school
master 'Sid touched u resionsive chord.
A hundred pistols were flourished to
shoot any mau who gave the scheme
away. The proposer agreed to get
himself posted as to the route, and
the time ot arrival of the women In
the nelghUirhoud. and volunteers were
forthcoming to watch the territory be
tween the Flat and the Gulch to make
sure that the secret was not trans
milted.
Deadhead station so called from the
fact that no man who boarded a train
there would pay his fare wns the
point of junction between Quartz
Gulch and the railroad. The station
was fifteen miles from tho Gulch and
ten miles from the Flat. The school
master rode over and learned from the
telegraph operator the day and hour
the women would arrive. Their train
would reach the station nt 0 o'clock In
the morning.
At 3 o'clock tho same morning a
company marched rrom the i- mt escort
ing several empty wagons to a station
on the railroad six miles farther east
than Deadhead. When the train drew
up nt the platform n committee pur
porting to bo Gulehers went aboard
the train and politely Invited the la
dies to alight, stating that they had
decided to take them off thero In
stead of Deadhead. Tho women iui
mediately gathered their belonglugs
and left the train. Thero were twen
ty of them, and they tilled the wagons
thnt had been brought to carry them
to Pine Flat, whither they were escort
ed by the citizens of thnt place.
When the train arrived nt Deadhead
without Its precious freight aud the
Gulehers learned how they had been
tricked their fury was like that of n
raging prairie fire. They held n con
ference, nt which for half an hour all
talked nt once, thus losing half nn hour
By the time they were ready to listen
to reason it was evident that tin
property would arrive In the enemy's
camp long before the Gulehers could
get there and tho Flatters would have
abundant time to plan a dofouse. Wil
kins. who saw that they had boeu out
witted beyond hope of recovery, coun
seled u return to their Hhaiitles and
sending for another carload of the
snme kind of freight. Ho contrived to
bring enough of the men to his way of
thinking to render It impossible for the
rest to recover the women by force
The disappointed men returned to the
Gulch, some cursing tho mismanage
ment of thoso In chargo of the affair,
some swearing vengeance on the Flat
ters, whllo one crusty old fellow who
had been married, but had gone west
to escape from a termagant wife, said
they didn't know when they were well
ofT.
Wilkins set himself energetically
nlout getting n new shipment, but the
eastern parlies who had made the con
signment would do nothing further till
they .had heard from the women who
hud already been sent. The reports
they mnde were ut first not renssuring
At least the consignors looked upon the
carrying off of tho women by those for
whom they were not Intended ns In
dicative of n very wild social condi
tion and wrote Wilkins that they would
take no further steps as to future con
sigiimcuts.
When this communication wns re
ceived tho men of Quartz Gulch, who
were called together to hear It read, re
solved, every one, to march ngaimt
ih -lr enemies and either get the wom
en or die. Six weeks had elapsed, nnd,
though the distribution of twenty wo
men as partners for more than a hun
dred men came very near breaking up
the settlement. It was finally left to the
former to choose their mates, which
they did. nnd soon the women were
all married. They did not know
till the last wedding had taken place
that they were enptured property. But
this made no difference to them. In
deed they rather admired their hus
bands for their enterprise.
But one day a citizen of tho Flat
came galloping Into town shouting,
"Tho Gulehers are coming!" Every
nblebodled man, somo with rifles, the
rest with revolvers, were marching on
tho town. The Flatters had at first
looked for this Invasion and prepared
themselves for It, but after so long nn
Interval it was unexpected. The long
roll was beaten, or, rather, a big dinner
bell was rung In tho center of tho town,
the signal thnt had been agreed on six
weeks before when tho robbery had
been perpetrated. On tho arrival of the
enemy tho defenders of Pine Flat, or,
rather, of the twenty wives within It.
were drawn up In battle array, and ns
soon as tho former were wltbln shoot
ing distance the fight began.
But a few had fallen, and they only
wounded, when the wives ran out and,
rushing In between the hostile lines,
forced tho contestants to cense firing.
1 hen they told the men who had come
for them that they were married, were
already engaged In beautifying their
homes and that nothing would Induce
them to lenvo their husbands The
Gulehers, they said, might ns well go
bnck home, for even If they conquered
tho women would not go with them
Wllklus said he thought he could draw
off his men If tho women would prom
ise to write such accounts of their sit
uation ns would Induce a new bevy to
come out to Quartz Gulch. This the
Indies ngreed to do, nnd tho enemy
mnrcbed away.
In due time another consignment ar
rived ticketed for the Gulehers, nnd.
fearing another rnld upon their proper
ty, the latter marched under cover of
tho night to a statlou where they were
quite sure they would find their yet
unseen wives. But their enemies scorn
ed to be plgglsh-lndeed, they had no
need to be, for they bad arranged for a
shipment on tbelr own account. The
Gulehers' load arrived safely, and both
Quarts Gulcb and Pine Flat are now
eculnoDljy respectable places.
