WASHINGTON , April 11. ( Sjiecial to Tn
HEK. ] I chatted lust night with Senator-
elect Sanders about his exciting experiences
In tlic early days of Montana. He was ono
of the lenders of the Montana vigilantes who
i3 rlcarvd Uiut state of its road agents anil who
hunp more tbun n score of the most notorious
1V * fubDera and inurJeiyrs that ever plied their
trudti turning the mining regions of the fur
+ went Colonel Sanders is six feet tail. His
frame 1 large and wiry , and it has not an
ounce of sujicrfluous flesh on it. Ills hulr is
still black , and ho in as vigorous today us he
was when ho made the speech which hung
the notorious murderer , George Ivcs. This
was only a few months after Sanders came to
Montana. The whole country was then
pnu tieully owned by the road upents. The
blicriff belonged to the band of robbers and
the leading ofllclals formed a part of the
Kung. Attempts had been made before to
try them , but the Juries had been packed by
these oftiriuls and justice had been mocked.
Iws had been connected with a number of
other murders when he was arrested for the
killing of a German. Ho was
taken in the net and there was no
doubt of his guilt. At the trial Sanders
was the prosecutor and ho made his speech
against Ivcs standing up in a wagon with a
mob of angry miners surrounding him. Fully
live hundred of these miners were friends of
Ivcs , and Senator Sanders says when he arose
to speak he could
i 1ICAUTIIE KUVOLVEIIS CLICKING
through the crowd. He was wearing a new
overcoat and in one of the outside pockets of
this he hud a revolver which ho had not used
for some days and ho was not sure whether it
would 'go oft upon occasion. He decided this
by coplfiug it in his pocket and shooting a
hole through the coat into the ground. When
ho went home to Bannock after the trouble
was over his wife , who had known nothing of
the danger ho was In , found this hole and
usked him what it was.
"Oh , " said he , "that's nothing , " and he
would not toll until she finally wormed It out
of him. Mrs. Sanders knew nothing of his
association with the vigilnto until s > oine
- tune after the hanging of Ivcs.
In addition to this revolver Senator San
ders had two Colt's pistols in his pockets and
a derringer and he intended to light to the
death if ntturkcd. "When he began Ills prose
cution of Ivcs he said ho did not appreciate
the danger lie was in but he saw that his
only safety was in putting on a bravo front.
"Had they supposed for un instant that I
iean-d them I would have been shot , " said
lie"and the first struggle occuired in the sc-
Jei-tion of a Jury. We had twelve men from
Tscvudn City and twelve other Jurors from
Junction and the deputy sheriff who belonged
Ui the gang wanted to appoint twelve luoro.
1 kiu-w that his twelve , it selected , would re-
Ir-.toc Ivcs and I objected. He theivupon de-
i.ouncod me mid divw a pistol and said ho
uoiihl hold me personally responsible for my
I'bjoction. There was another clink of pistols
t uroughout the crowd. There were.'JK ) angry
irifii all tinned and a fight seemed imminent.
1 looked the deputy sheriff in the eye and
told him that if he wanted to settle
this matter I would give him a
chance after the trial was over ,
that I was busy now with this trial , but that
us soon as it was done he should have all the
opportunities lie wanted. Not ono tnun in
ilvo in that crowd knew me and this action
helped my jxisition. The crowd saw that I
was not nfruiii. and I was permitted to * ro on
with my speech. The verdict was that Ivcs
IK- hung on the spot , and it was very much to
the surprise of Die road agents that he was
hung. Alter the hanging was over the cx-
i Moment was intense. My life was threat
ened on all sides and I didn't Icnow whether
I would be shot or not. 1 had several narrow
fscuiics. and that night one of the band came
into a store in which I was sitting , with the
evident intention of shooting me. Ho was
'
taken out , however , before he' did any darn-
u > ro. "
At my request Senator Sanders then re
lated another affair in which he was
VCKY CLOSE TO IIUVTII.
"It was , " said he , "when 1 was going to
Halt Lake City. Wo traveled by stage coach
in thosu days , and 1 had ridden all night and
in the morning found myself at a lit tic hotel
iif-ar where Corinno is now on the Central
Pai-illo and alxmt eighty miles from Salt
Lake City. Hero the stage sU > p ] > e < l to feed
the horses and I went into the bar. Off of
this barroom to ono side was a dining-
room and on the other side there was
a room in which n number of men wen ; play
ing jiokor. The giimo did not seem to be n
very quiet one and I could hear swearing and
quarreling going on. The hotel was kept by
u ( jenimn and the German's wife gave mo my
breakfast. Alter 1 was through 1 returned to
the burruotn and while standing there the
poker game broke up and a half dozen angry
men 11 led out into the barroom. It seems that
ono of the players had grabbed the stakes and
thf German hotelkeeper was the loser. Ho
u us denouncing this man in no unmeasured
terms , was cursing him in two languages , and
was demanding that he give up the money. 1
stood and watched the altercation. All at
uni-e the man who had taken the money
caught my eye and said :
"Ain't your uaino Sanders ! "
"UK" said I.
"Well , " he replied , with nn oath , "I hnvo n
settlement to make with you and I want to
siv you outside. You arc the man who helped
to hang my friend Slade and 1 am going to
von up mutters with you. " With that he
tirow a pistol and said : "I want you to corao
uutsidu with me. "
" 1 said , -All rlglit ! ' and thercui > on started
toward the door lending the way. The Ger
man in the moumvhilo paid no attoiitiun to
this new phase of the situation and continued
his huportunitits ! for the money. 1 could
easily have shot the man as 1 went K'hltid
him mid 1 had a number of CUUIK * to got the
liiip on him. The German's wife , however ,
rusliod out as soon as we got past the door and
luldotl her denunciations to the o of her hus
band and the quarrel l > ccaino so hot that the
man hud no chance to pay any attention tome
mo , ami at tills moment the sUgo was ready
to start and the driver saying to me that thrro
was no use in my risking my life lor such u
drunken rut-thivut as that , told mo to Jump
mi ihoottacli. 1 fcow that ho was right and
< lui so and the team galloped away leaving the
( ramblers still quarreling. "

U"s tt , { ,1 * t ! . y were lix K. .J ; al'T
mines of whli h we uppood we had the
Mxrt't. and I dit-ldeil to follow them. They
were in reality starting out on
AS nxrcittTidx tt KOB AND MrmmK ,
and thrtr destination wn * different from that ,
which they gave out. After they hod left
the town I took a good horse and started
toward RHttlesnakf ranch. It was ! omo
mllM a\vny and wai a lonely cabin which WHS
uvd it * a Mwt of hotel and b-irroom. Shortly
niter I left a great storm eftm ? np and it
thundered and blew and rained all nieht.
When I mached the ranch I f'jom ] several
drunken miners in it mid thesfl aad the bar
tender mode up the pnrtyV EVeryoni' slctt )
on the iloor in thcxe dH.vs. There was no
InVIs and all were expected to carry their
bud-clothing with them. In this ranch , how
ever , there was a l ed tick nbout six ftxt
square laying on the floor in front of the
oj > en fire. It was probably the only IwdUck
In Montana owned by bachelors , and upon my
petting ready 1o turn iu the bartender told me
that 1 might lie down on it and sleep with
him. I took off mv coat and vest and bundled
them up Into n pfllownud lying down with
the bartender beside me was soon fast asleep.
About midnlL'ht we heard a terrible rap at
the door , and the bartender got up and pick-
inc up a shotgun went to the door and asked ,
"Who's then- ! "
"It's Jack , " was the reply , ahd after n time
the bartender opened the door and allowed
the man to como in. I found that he was one
of the party who had started out , as 1 had
supi > osed , to look after these mines. He hod
left the town later than his companions , had
got lost in the storm , and insteul ; of being
\vith them on their murder tour bad turned
up nt Ifcittlesnako ranch. Ho was dold and
hungrr and wet and his horse was played
out. ilo wanted a drink , something to eat
and a fresh horse. The bartender told him
there was nothing to eat in the house , and
there was no horse for him. He gave him a
drink , setting the bottle of whisky down
on the" bar before him. The man took a
swsig find then asked aeain for something to
cat. When hcwnsncrain told that the was
nothing , he took another drink , and so kept
up for half an hour , until the bartender told
him thnt ho would see if he could not get
something for him. Ho 4hen went out and
brought in n plate of Iroilod l > ocf , and said
that was all he could find. "Jack" ate at this
and took drinks between the monthfuls. In
the meantime , wideawake , I had lain on my
floor and watched him. 1 knew he belonged
to the other party and 1 wanted to know
where they were , so I finally said :
" 'Jack , whore Is PJummeri' Plnmmer
was the head of the party. I shall never for-
cet the man's action as he heard these words.
He evidently supjiosed I knew about the rob
bery and he Jumped across the room to where
I lay. He stood over me with a cocked re
volver , and it seemed to mo that the muzzle
of the weapon was within six inches of my
head I was Just
six ixcitns KEAncu DEATH
than I had ever been l > efore. I do not know
whether my hair stood up but I had the sen
sation of feeling each individual hairstanding
on end and I believe I could have counted
them. He then began to curse , with his
drunken finger on the triger , and ho told me
ho would shoot my brains out. All this hap
pened in a few seconds but it seemed a life
time. It was certainly not n half minute
from the timp I spoke before I had Jum ] > ed
up , sprang behind the bar and soired thegun ,
1 cocked the gun laid it across the bar and
sighted alone the barrel at the drunken rob
ber. He saw I had the drop on him and with
a sort of dninkon bravo he threw his pistol
down on the pine board table nearby and pul
ling open an old army overcoat which he
wore , bared his breast and said :
Shoot if you want to , d you. "
' I told him that 1 was not anxious to shnot
him but that if there was any shootinc to be
done I wonted.to have the first firo. The bar
tender here went over Jo him and tried to
patch up a truce Iwtween us. It did not take
much persuasion with my shotgun pointing
at him and after a short time lie concluded he
had boon mistaken in his action and wanted
to shako handi with me. I shook
hands and then nothing would do but that we
must drink tpwther. We did so n'.id both in
sisted in paylnir for the- drinks , and finally the
bartender said it was his treat und that sot-
tied it. The bartender was named 'lied.1 He
lHlontod to the band of road agents and he
was hung by the vigilantes shortly after.
"Plummor was the head of the band. Tie
was a polite , sandy-haired , slender younc fol
low who did not weigh over u hundred pounds.
He wsis ono of the bust shots on the moun
tains and it is said that ho could drew his re
volver aud shoot five times in as many seconds
ends and make every shot tell. He was
A VEKY COMrAMON.UII.U rKLLOW ,
and I rememlwr that I took a Thanksgiving
dinner with him n short time before ho was
hung. He was struntr up on the same Callows
upon which he had buns ; some time Iwfore
one of his victims. Before wo hung him he
asked that he bo eiven a t.'ood drop , and 1
lifted him up by the legs after the roi > e was
put around his neck to oblige him. The men.
however , who had hold of the other end
of the rope pulled too rapidly and it
took him sonic time to die. "
( IKNH1UL SIIEKMAN'S IlIHTIinAV TEI.CGIUM.
On the day that General William T. Sher
man celebrated his seventieth birthday Sena
tor Manderson , General Anson G. McCook
and Senator Squire wired him their congrat
ulations. The telegram read somewhat as
lollows :
"General William T. Sherman. New York
city. N. V. : Three of your old soldier bovs

To this General Sherman replied in one of
the spiciest letters ho has ever written. He
referred to his friendships with his old sol
diers and said that his hair was not turning
to gray as the newspapers had reported but
that it was of the same beautiful brickdust
hue that hail sparkled under the rays of the
southern sun when Manderson , McCook ,
Squire and ho were soldiers together.
The letter was about live hundred
words in Irnpth and every sen
tence of it was filled with meat A Washing
ton newspaper correspondent was with Sena
tor Manderson when ho received the letter.
The senator showed it to him and ho at once
asked permission to telegraph it to the pre s.
Senator Mamlerson replied Unit he could not
dve out the letter without the consent of
General Sherman and advised the correspon
dent to wire him. He promised to do so and
nbout midnight of that day Senator Mander
son was roused from his slumbers by a violent
lent rlnc at the door bell. He hurriedly put
on his clothes and went down to see what was
the matter , when a telegraph boy handed him
n message which read :

Senator Sixxmer is worth today in the
neighborhood of a quarter of n million dollars.
Kight years ape he was worth f-'U.OdO less
thun nothing. Ho was earning a salary of
$10.000 a ycur as lawyer for one of the leading
railroad systems of the northwest , but his ex-
ixraditures were always moro thuu his in
come. He liougbt everything IIP wanted and
hunted around the cornurs to find things to
sntttid money on. His debts crept up on him
before he knew it and when he reached the
& ! 0HH ( > limit he began to be worrie < l about
them. He hud started life us n poor Iwy , had
received n peed education and had inheritud
from his father a wyiidcrful legal miml. Ho
had douemuch to make othei-s wealthy before
he began to make money for himself , and it
was his little head Uiat had convolved thu
Omaha railroad system and it was his brains
which aided in carrying it out and making it
n success. In doing tills he was thrown
into contact with a Mr. Porter , the
sui > eriiitendent of the system , and
was mudo Its lawyer at the above
salary. One day about eight years ugo
SjKwuer wun sitting : in 1'orter's ofllco talking
business when the h ttor suddenly said :
"John , liovv much do yon owe. ' "
Lawyer Sjuxiner looked up a little surprised

A BOOM roil SALT LAKE.
Itealty Advances as a Result of the
Gentile Itulc.
This city 5s enjoying a "real estate
boom , " writes n Salt Lake City correspondent
pendent of the ( N. Y. ) Times. There is
history behind the boom. It is the his
tory of the struggle between the Mor
mon and the Gentile for supremacy ,
culminating in the recent city election ,
in which the hitter won. A Gentile vic
tory has inspired investors _ with confid
ence , nnd n tide of new life and new
money is rolling into the city , which has
already caused real estate value to ad
vance L'OO per cent.
When the Mormon settled the Terri
tory he devoted himself to agriculture.
Heverily * made the soil to blossom like
"
the rose. And yet he remained poor
poor in money. It is said thnt not very
long ngo the 'Mormon pnid his entrance
fee to places of amusement with corn or
other products of the soil. Ho would
have been glad to have things continue
so , for continuance inent the undisputed
practice of his religion , including
nolygamy. But , while he could possess
hinWlf of the agricultural land , ho could
not gain control of the mineral
land. It is presumed thnt ho knew of
the wealth the latter had in keeping
nnd long concealed his knowledge. But
eventually the mineral wealth of Utih :
became revealed , and there followed un
introduction of Gentile blood which
quickly brought nbout a change. One
hundred and twenty millions of gold und
silver have been extracted from the
mountains of the territory by the Gen
tile. It has made busincrs in Suit Lake ,
nnd in this respect the Mormon has
profited by it. But it has also served
to increa-e the Gentile strength , until in
this city it has become sufficient to wrest
the local government from Mormon
hands , probably never to find its way
back there. This means that Gentiles
( everybody but Mormons ) will no longer
lind t'hcm.-elveb discriminated against in
taxation , etc. , while the Mormon will
find hinifelf placed in these rcsjiects on
the same footing with the Gentile. Its
significance , as has been stated , is
already shown by a wonderful advance
iu the value of real estate.
In fact , the spirit of speculation is rife
here. People are flocking here from all
quarters , lured by the "boom , " some to
invest money , others to find employment
or to go into business. The hot-els are
full to overflowing ana the chamber of
commerce is giving serious consideration
to the problem of hotel accommodations
for the multitudes of persons who are
expected to pour in as soon as the spring
fully opons. Perhaps poino may get ,
"stuck , but the indications are that
this city is going to attain a wo'ndcrful
growth' and that the entire territory
will contribute to its prosperity. The
agricultural and mineral it-sources of
Utah are simply inexhaustible , and here
is to bo the seat of a great center of
thrifty population.
The question naturally occurs , "Is po
lygamy a thin of the past ? " The Mor
mon unhesitatingly answers "Yes. ' '
The Gentiles says as emphatically "No. "
Adds the Gentile : "Morruonism is
simply dissembling in this respect. The
Mormon does riot openly practice polyg
amy , but ho secretly practices it , norae-
tim'us keeping his wives in different
towns and sometimes concealing the
presence of unlawful wives under the
garb of house servants. Ho will swear
that he has but one wife when the con
trary is the fact , for ho docs not regard
such swearing perjury when indulged in
before a Gentile judge and jury. "
When told of this statement , the Mor
mon will pronounce it a baVo slander and
challenge the Gentile to adduce the
proof. But from all appearances po
lygamy is a thing of the past. Even if
secretly indulged in , its doom is sealed.
It was the one great mistake in the sys
tem that the "prophet" built up , that ho
engrafted polygamy upon it. Free from
that incubus the system could have gone
on without attracting the attention and
inviting the opposition it has encounter
ed. It was a great blunder on the
prophet's part , and invited the rigid in
quiry into the political working of the
system which now threatens its downfall
unless serious modification of it iu other
roHjH.-cts as well us polygamy takes place.
Today the Time.- , ' correspondent went
over the now building of Zion's cooperative
mercantile institution. It is a won
derful affair. The floor space devoted to
the wholesale rind retail branches. In-
eluding everything to bo oaten , worn , or
used , from n pin to an anvil , from a bis
cuit ton barrel of Hour , from a stocking
to a hat , etc. , is 1-7,200 square feet. In
addition to this there is ( in the same
building ) a shoo and overall factory with
a Iloor space of 41,600 square foot. The
store proper employs 2-jO persons
and the factory ISO. The general
fujwrintondent of this immense affair | s
T. G. Webber , but the man who has
charge as manager of the manufactur
ing , and who is a power everywhere , is
W. 11. Rowe , who enjoyed the privilege
of having been an intimate friend of the
late Brlgham Young. Mr. Rowe is a iv-
mnrknble man , Hu has tilled the build
ing with expensive labor-saving machin
ery , from dynamos and elevator lifts to a
beautiful t'orlis engine.
He is devoted to his employes nnd has
been the moans of their acquiring a herd
of bheep and of organizing for their bene
fit a bank and u mutual aid society. He
Enid today that the store's snlea for the
p < i t six months amounted to $ ° . ,011GUt.- (
44 ; thnt the capital invested was $1,000-
000 , which paid a dividend of 10 per cent ;
that the company had n surplus of
$ .iuO.OUO ; thnt thn company tanned
Its own bo'o leather at the rat"
of 200 hides u week , and
mudo near'y J00,000 pairs of ehofs a yciir
and 500 pairs of overalls nnd shirts a
day. To lind such n concern doing bust *
nes > in n fine building nml handling the
best quality of goods rich onriwls and
valuable watches , for instance was
simply surprising.
Salt Lake City is without street pave
ments , but is preparing to Indulge In
thorn. It certainly needs them badly.
It has. however , n very good system of
electricity and horse street railways.
Surrounded by mountain ? , with its mng-
nificeut lake not far distant , it is n city
to invite residenc.0 und business. In the
fall n territorial election is to be held.
Outside Salt Lake City the Mormon
strength is great. 11 is possible it will
carry the day this time. But the Gen
tiles think thnt by the time another
election comes around they will win in
the entire territory , as they have just
done in this city.

Feminine Councilinon.
A year ago , when the new system of
city government , somewhat resembling
the American one , went into effect in
London , three women. Lady Sandhurst ,
Miss Jane Cobdcn nnd Miss Cons , were
chosen members of the council. The
candidate next on the list to Lady Sand
hurst contested her election , and nil the
courts up to the highest decided that a
woman was ineligible to hold municipal
office , although she had boon endowed
with the right to vote for such offices as
long ngo as 1609. Nobody .contested the
election of the other two women , and
after waiting , under legal advice , for
twelve months for such a contest , they
went to the council chamber a few days
ago , signed the roll , nnd took their
seats. They were pleasantly received ,
and the question of their eligibility was
not raised by the male members of the
body. It is understood however , that
the matter will be taken to the courts by
the minority of the Council.

THE FIGtTItE " 0. "
The fieurc 0 In our dates will make a lonf itay.
No man or woman now living will ever duto a
document without uning the figure 0. It stand !
In the third place In 1830-where It will remain ten
years and then move up io tecoud place In 1900 ,
where it will rest for ono hundred years.
There is another " 9" which has also come to stay.
It Is unlike the figure 9 in our dates In the respect
that it has already moved up to first place , where
It will permanently remain. It I ? called the "No.
B" llljh Asp Wheeler i Wilson Sewing Machine.
The "No..9" was endorsed for first place by tlw
Experts of Kuroi > c at the 1'aris Exposition of 1BS9 ,
where , after a severe contest with the leading ma
chines of the world , it was awarded the only
Grand Prize Eiven to family sewing machines , all
others on exhibit having received lower awards
of gold medals , etc. The French Government
also recognized its superiority by thcdecoratiou of
Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler , I'rciident of the company ,
with the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
Tie "No. 0" Is not an old machine Improved
i xja , but is an entirely new machine , and the
Grand Prize tt Paris was awarded It as the grand
est advance in t-owiijc machine mechanism of the
age. Those who buy It can rest assured , there ,
tore , of having the very latest and best.
