Satin day morning tlneo Slouv Indians ,
named ringer-Xull , SiUlng-ln-rront and
Pete Matthews , i onflncd in the jail hcie for
hoi so stealing , made an attack on two white
prisoncis Theli wea | > ons weietableknlves ,
u pair of scissors nnd common chairs , with
which tbc jail was supplied. After Inflicting
serious wounds on the whlto prisoners ,
ringer-Xail and Klttinp-ln-rront htinged
themselves in their roll with the bunk straps.
They were assisted by Polo Matthews , who ,
after thej committed the deed , tiled to butt
his brains out against the walls of the jail ,
but was secured by Sheriff Tuttle
and several other persons The
two Indians who hanged themselves
Mabbed themselves all over their bodies before -
fore icsortlng to hanging Talescc ) Snla-
imno , an Italian , who was tonllucd on u
charge of burglaiy , was stabbed In seveial
places , and the couutj phvslclan does not ex
pect him to live until morning. The other
prisoner , L < II Ttuck , waiting the action of
the giand Juty on a ehaigu of tape , was
stabbed and jwundcd over the head w Ith
chairs in the hands of the Indium. He ic-
gained consciousness Into this aftei noon ami
ouli leniembered that the Indians attacked
him with knives , after which he became nn
conscious. The doctoi sajs ho will iccover
with proper care. The Indians tried to statve
themselves to death several months ago.
nnd after remarking that they 'would
not live to be tried for hoi so stealing during
the teim of eouit which commences Mondav ,
the.v had thcii war paint on and no doubt the
assault was premeditated. The piisomis
appeared Jolly nnd contented last evening
when the jailer made his rounds. The.v
vveioullowed too mucli liboity , neither one of
the cells being locked , onlj the outside door
of the c age The.v had ace ess to all the c ells ,
nnd the Indians waited until thev thought the

So tlie night wire away and the mom-
ing of the loth duwned.
Tlie wind had by thin ttino moeleiuted.
but there was a tioinoiidoiH ou runiiing.
One of the s-mull boats wax caught by a
billow and literally .smashed into fiag-
ments , which were carried away on the
nevtvvave. At S o'elouk the men pur-
took of some food with heavy heartsnot
knowing but that it was tlie last meal
they would eat. The foienoon woio
slowly away. Tlio captain and men got
Home eases of bread anil preserved moats
fiom the cabin atid placed them on the
poop , intending to take the boats. Two
cases of bread , a lot of presoived meats ,
but no water , had been placed in the
lifeboat , which the men tried to launch
at 1 o'clock.
At this time a huge wave struck the
Angus-la , which had breiached to and
wa l.v ing in the trough of the sea. The
wave can ied Captain Me\vor. the Hist
male and ono seaman , wlio weto stand
ing aft , overboard. The weather house
over the wheel followed them , and the
mate was seen to clumber upon the loof.
Nothing more was been of gallant Cap
tain Mo.ver or thoseaman.
Onlj two men were left on Iho bail : ,
and they at once leaped into the seaand
weto drawn into the small boat. The
boaUt were neaily full of water , and two
men were constantly kept bailing. The
cabin beiy , wlio was at tltst thiovvn into
the small boat wanted to gain the life
boat , and , jumping into the water ,
struck out for her. Mate Fulthohn and
his men. live in number , in the small
boat , could not tell w bother the lad over
roachetl the1 other boat.
When the last two men to leave the
sinking burl : had gained the small boat
and she was turned heael up to tlio seas
till on board looked toward the b.uk.
They weie just in time lo sec her jib-
boom disappear beneath the vvater. She
had gone dovvn in tlie twinkling of an
e.ve , and tlio men hud left at the \er.v
last possible moment. Not a bignwas
boon of the weather house on which the
( list mate had climbed. Tlie men in the
sniall boat made an etToit lo gain the
side of the lifeboat , with the intention
of lashing the two together , but the high
seas made this impossible.
Night closed in , and the boats drifted
fui thor and further apart. By da.v lighi
nothing was ocn of the lifoboa't , and
the six shivering men in the smaller
eiaft found themselves on a waste of sea
without a sail anjwhero in sight. In
the boat was a bucket containing sen
bise'uit. There wns albo a small quan
tity of ham and a little vvater. This
was dealt out , each man receiving once
per day a half of a boa biscuit , a little
ham and a verj small allowance of
water. Itvvasonl.v enough to stimulate
their hunger. Aiedshiitwas laised
on the mast for a bignal , but day after
day wont by and no sail was seen. A
small bag of petroleum was hung over
the boat's bow to quiet the sea.The
wind did not blow so haul , but the seas
still rolled high < Sometimes they
hoisted u small thiee cornered suil. and
then the men would take turns rowing ,
in the hope of sighting some passing
ssol.
But time went on , andon the morning
of October 22 the provisions were en-
tirolj exhausted.
Tlio last morsel had , been eaten and
the very last diop of water drunk.
The men looked ut o.ich other in de-
pair. They had been hungry before ,
but now hunger and thirst began to be
felt Keenly. What v.ere they to do ?
they asked one another. Then one pio-
po-ed as a last lesoi hat they east lots
to see who should bo killed to soivo lib
food for the others.
IFis comrades gaed at him sternly ,
but their hunger made the proposal

would have seemed. The second mate

of lots or to have aught to do with it.
lie preferied to die rather than live by
eating his fellow men. Besides , lie
argued , there was no Knowing how
near succor might bo and if it
came after one had been bacti-
liced it would scorn nothing short of
minder. His talk had the desired ef
fect , and the men eoncludeel to put olT
the matter until the following day.
Their siillorings gievv intense as night
closed in and still no sign of the looked
for sail. Still the men tool ; their tuin
at the oarb. thenigh their ejes woie
bloodshot and their tongues thick and

s"Wntorl Water ! " was the cry , and
theie wab water all around , but "not a

and the light of a now moi ning daw nod.
Tovvaul noon a sail was been , anil the

hoisted. It was a buik going fiee , but
she Kept on her couiscand the momon-

gave way to despair. Again the btib-
jeet of casting lots came up , but it was
bet aside for jot one moie day.
The 2Uh ciime. Thorp was not so
much sea running and bail was made on
the little eiaft. She had boon leaKing

was seen about four miles away. Only

EARLY DAYS AT VIRGINIA CITY.

lilsh
Helena , Mont. , Coriespondenco New
YorkWoild : 1 have scinched the uich-
ives for traces of the genius of Thomas
Francis Meagher which might thiow
Home light on hiscaieerin Montana and
lift the veil of mjbleiy whieh buiiounds
his death. It is u stt iking lellection
on the emptiness of fame that compara
tively few people know who Thomas
Piancis Meaghor was. and ntill fewer
who know that he was tlie acting gov-
IM nor of tlio teriitory. and that the
patriotic ring of omo of his messages
and state papers called forth the aelini-
latioii of the eastern journals of the day.
Virginia C'ity , the scone of his hist ex
ploits , then tlie capital of the territory ,
swarming with life and activity , is now
a deserted and sle-epy village. A stage
leaves Dillon , a shipping point for cat
tle and wool on the Utah & Noi thorn
railroad every morning atiI0 ( : ! and lolls
into Virginia'Clty at sundown. For the
last eight miles of the journey the road
runs along the left bank of Alder
Gulch. Twenty .vears ago this gulch
which embraces the foot slopes of two
long , icgulur mountain ranges , was
the highest placer mining district in
Montana , and an an army of gold hunt
ers sallied foith evor.v moining and te-
tired at night to squander their "dirt"
at the gaming table or in e-arousing and
revelry. To-daj the gulch is deserted ,
except for the pieseneo of a few nonm-
dic Chinamen , who mabo soon wash
ing gtavel in the dilapidated sluice
| jc\es that still i emain , in the hope of
discovering u btray tin cad or nugget of
gold.
The town lies tip in the hills at the
end of the gulch , and consists of some
toleiably decent frame houses and a
good many tumble-down shacks. In the
early elajsii courthouse of some pio-
tens'ions was built , and that still 10-
mains , the only cnduiing monument in
the town. There is still standing on
ono of the side sti cets leading into the
main thoioughftue u small , one-story
frame structuio , whieh was occupied in
more piosperous dajs as a banking
house. Adjoining this General
Moagher had liisollieo and passed much
of his time while acting governor of tlie
territory. All the okl-tiincrs had de
serted the place. I was unable to dis
co * or any one who could enlighten mo ,
but aseoi tained the names of some of
those who wore intimate with Genoial
Meagher , and returned to Helena. Ileie
I interviewed Maishal W. F. Wheeler ,
the librarian of the Montana , Historical
society , a newspaper veteran whoso
volubio reminiscences' of "Sunset"
Cox's llrst political campaign in Ohio
relieved the monotony of a three dajs'
unavailing search among the news
paper liles in the Historical society
rooms. All the copies of public prints
covering the period of Meaghcr's resi
dence in the teiritory have been do-
stio.ved b.v lire ; and the few facts I have
been able to gather hav e eomobui dened
with prolixity and confusion , through
the meagie und obscure iccollei'tions of
the old-timers.
Kvoiy one familiar with the history
of the lobollion has heard of the famous
lush brigade which Meagher com
manded through the thickest of the bat
tles for the union and in the dtuKest
hours of national peril. When the war
broke out ho was engaged in the prac
tice of law in New York City and hud
an oillce in Ann sti eel. He laid down
his volumes of BlacKstone and opened
the pages of Vauban. Emerging fiom
the quiet atmosphere of his law oillce ,
ho called upon his couiitr.vinen by proc
lamation ami in public speech to rally
to the defoiiho of Iho union , and they
respondeel to the call onthusiasticallv
anil in gratifjing numbeis. Tliiougli
the battles of Fair Oaks , Richmond ,
Manassns , Antic'tam , Fiedoricksburg
and Chancollorsv ille the brigade fought ,
coming from the held of Clmncollors-
ille straggling and wear.v , thoj omnant
of the In ave lighting material that had
Hashed their swoids amd won the praises
of McClellan at Fair Oaks and Rich
mond. Geneial Prim romaiked after
the battle of Fair Oaks that he did not
wonder the brigade fought so well ,
"for , ' said ho , "their clieois areas
good as the bullets of other men. "
Meagher inspired his men with bin ex
hilaration ol spirits and constantly in
fused them with now courage both by
vvoid and deed. Where he ordered
them to chai go ho was the Hist to lead
and last te > letient. His hem ing us a
soldier was the subject of nnivei-nl ad-
miiationand he himself was the idol ot
his mon.
After the war President Johnson , in
iccognition of his sorvie s , tondoied
Meagher the eerotarv-hip of Montana
territory. Ho armed in ViiginiaCity ,
the seat of the government , at the close
of the hummer of lM > ri. Goveinor Kd-
gerson , who was about to leave the tor-
ritor.v for some months , isucd a procla
mation appointing Goneial Meagher
acting governor in his absence. Mea-
gher's ilist otlicial act was to call to
gether the legislatuie for the purpo-o
of voting supplies for the expense of
the gov eminent. His constitutional
right to do this was immediately called
in question b\ the politicians nnd the
pi osi opposed to him. Ho himsedf at
llrst doubted his right to call the legis-
latuio , but , on consideration ho dociilcel
to taKe the stop and defended hit ( ouiso
with his usual ability in his message
and in a speech doli'veiod at u demo
cratic convention shoitly afterwards.
Meaghor , it is known , had some dilli-
cuUy with tlie politicians in the terri
tory. The true inwaidnoss of tliis it is
now impossible to ascertain , but it is
not unlikely it grow out of the sharp
lines that weio diawn between the
not them and bouthcm sjmpathi/eis
and the acerbities whieh were life at
the cloo of the great conflict. Both
sides wished to claim him , but Mea-
ghor's btand was decided and uncom
promising. In answer to the politicians
whoso h.Miipathies woio with the north
and who cavilled bee'aiibo Meaghor ap
pointed southern mon to olllco , ho told
them that the boldior of the south , hav
ing heroically fought for yeais , had
now loweicd his colors and sheathed
his bwoid ; that the spirit in
which ho Miriondered , as well
a * the spirit with whieh lie
fought , entitled him to respect , honor
able coiisideiation , and the fianK confi
dence of Ills late adversaries. The
war over , ho , for one , "would not have
planted thorns in tlio giaves whoio the
olivAhnd taken loot. " And so ho defined -
fined his coin-so , frankly nnd honestly ,
but unflinchingly. For some time before -
fore the accident which resulted in his
death Goneial Meaghor tontoni plated
resigning his position. Tlio salary of
his ollico was too beauty to justify him
in retaining it. Ho hud indeed been
waited upon by u committee of the lead
ers of his own party , tendering him the
nomination of delegate to congress and
ottering to defray all the expenses of
the campaign. The nomination would
have been equivalent to election , for
the ilomocititle paitv was overwhelm
ingly domlnent in the' territory. But
Meaghor declined the ptotToroil honor
in geneious tones , which , however\vere
tinged with melani'holy. sa.vlng that lie
was too poor to enter upon tlie duties of
a delegate to congiess and suppoit an
establishment in kccplnir with the
social position It would necessarily en
tail at the national capital. He in
tended resuming the practice of law as
soon as ho could bo relleveel of his
olllcial duties , and had negotiated for u
partnership with a Mr. Bailoj , one of
the memborsof the Montana bar. It was
at this time. too. that Mrs. Meagher
had arrived at Port Henton on her way
to join her husband , and MeagheV
looked jo.vot'sly forward lo her compan
ionship and society as being additional
incentives to his desire toe-arveouta
fottune for himself in the'variouscuter-
prlses which were opened to him.
In the summer of 1M17 came the news
of a violent Indian outbreak. Murders
had be'on perpetrated on the Yellow
stone and on the load between Helena
and Foil Bunion.and Meagher ut once
issued his pioe'lamation for the organi-
/utioir of a military command and com
missioned the olMccis. He was again
acting govui nor in the absence ( iroun
Clay Smith who had succeeded Gov
ernor Kdgorton. Ho instructed them
tej proceed at once to the scene of ra
pine , with the warning , couched in his
own beautiful imager ; } , that "ever.v
blade of grass that spuing to the suii-
llghl" admonished them that the min
utes suielv shot toned between their
arms and the red cloud of war that was
traveling towards them with the stealth
and artifice of Indian cunning. Them
Meagher him led for Foil Beaten ,
wheio ho wished to superintend the ar
rival of nuns and munitions for the
equipment of the militia , and utter-
wauls rejoined the tioops in Gallntan
valley. He i cached Foil llenton in the
evening of .lul.v 1.1SH7. worn out bv a
long da s ride in tlie saddle under the
rajs of a beating sun. There weto
no accommodation * at the fort ,
und Goneial Meagher was inviteel
by Captain Doran , of the- Missouri river
steamer ( } . A. Thomp-on , which was
moored to the landing , to lake up his
qtiarteis in one of thestaterooms. . The
sun had just gone down when Geneial
Moagher anil the captain took their
chaiis out on the guaids of the boat for
a pleasant chut. Meagher wab much at
tached to Captain Dot an on account of
some little Kindness he had shown the
general's wife on her vvay up the river
from St. Louis. The night was pleas
ant one of those ? t.v picul summer nights
which aie the charm of life in Montana ;
but there was a storm blowing in the
niountuins and the clouds weie fast
gathering. The two men lighted eigais ,
and after some desultory conversation.
General Meagher took up a copy of
Gerald Gritlin "Collegians , ' ' which
Captain Doian had laid down , and be
gun to read. He read apparently with
much interest for half an hour , when ,
laying the book down , he complain d of
being nervous and wearv. This was at
9:30. :
Captain Doran.having persuaded him
to retire to his room , had gone below
only a short time when he heard u
bplash in the vvater and the crvof "man
ovoiboaid.1' Tlie river at that point
was about twelve feet deep , with u cur
rent rushing at the rate of nine miles
an hour. It hud grown by this time to
be dark and cloudy , and no object
could be discerned in the water. The
glints of several lanterns were thiovvn
acioss the moving hticuin and active
olToits weie made to hasten his loscuo ,
but all ellorts pioved nsoloos. Cannon
were fired the next daj and the river
was dragged for miles below the fort ,
but tlio bodj wab never recovered.
There was a hirse e'oil of lope near the
guard rail where Meagher fell over
board. . It is supposed ho left his state
room for some purpose , stumbled over
this coil of rope , caught at and missed
the guard Kill , which was low and in-
becuie , and fell headlong into tlio water
below. There aio sevoial bmall
islands lising fiom the bed of the
river diiectl.v below tins point , and
whether the bodv was ever washed
ashore upon one of tho-e and became
thopie.v of piowling Indians is not
known. The Indians weie active and
hostile in the neighboihood of these little -
tlo islands , and an.v attempt to reach
them would have been fiaught. with
dangei and possibl.v death , so that no
ono could be lound who had the hiudi-
hood to make theshoies of the lower
islands. The gov er nen1 of the tor ritorj ,
upon hearing tlie newsollcied a toward
for the recovorv of the body and ordered
the territorial olliccs and buildings
draped in mourning. Mrs. Meaghor
also olTeied a huge reward for ( ho
body. Resolutions : of respect and con
dolence vveio passed at vaiiotismeetings
and the deepest ev Sciences of general
grief wore announced ftorrr all parts of
the teiritory.
Thus closed the cnieer of u man wheat
at the age of twent.v-thiee , as .Justin
McCarthy toll * us. was the most biil-
liant orator in the .veiling lielund move
ment of ISIS , and who under other con
ditions than those which piovail in a
country downtrodden and besot with ill-
fated liiisfoi tune , might have iiseiito
the highest distinctions of public life' .
Meagher was tw ice man ied. His lit st
wife was the daughter of the governor
of Tasmaniafiom which place she aided
in his escape : She dicer at his father's
home in lieland. Ills second wife was
u Miss Townsend , of the well know <
Long island famll.v , and is still livlnfl

Barlow. lie left u nby \ his first wife ,
whom he ni'ver saw. The child was
bom in Ireland '
utter Meagher's in-rival
in this country. 1 believe this son Id
now in California.
Me'aghor may or may not have touched
the highest point of his giealncss , but
ho was titlll in the prime of manhood , In

u high or del1 , und with the possibilities'
of tlie future before him. lie would1

.lured Phillips' tin peddler CM it was
halted at I' . .1. Bieiwn's house , which
was not two lods fiom the spot whoio
Mr. Bishop cleat ed the fence "without
