I j M LEAKING UP LARAMIE CITY An Old-Timer'i Story of the Vii lante Days. WEST'S BIGGEST HANGING PARTY Tuiri Sarroanded and Gamblers avad Crooks Killed la Cold Blood. Two of Theai DUd Gaat. HELENA, Mon., Aug- 28. "It ain't like If used to be out west. In th old days wa didn't have them kind of scum to fool with," said the old-time peace officer re nilnlscently as ha tipped his chair back In the police station and Jerked hla head at two strong arm men who were being led back to the cells. "Times has quieted down," he continued. "Now you take Miles. I served there even years during the early '80s when the Texas trail herds was oomln' . through. Thum southern punchers painted the town red after being on the road for months and it kept up pretty lively. There are some other bad places, but the worst town I ever seen was Laramie City, Wyo., as tin y called It then. "It was In the spring of '68 I hit Chey enne with some pretty good letter In my pocket and I caught on with the sheriff there. I'd only been around a few days ' when a prizefighter was killed at Laramie ' and the sheriff sent me up to Investigate. I burled th corpse and Investigated. Then 1 got order to remain. The railroad was building through Laramie and It was the worst hell I ever seen. Criminals cam . there from all ovr th world. Th vigilantes In Montaita drove some bad ones out who flocked to Laramie. All th . gunmen and sure thing gamblers, hoas thieves and such came like buaaards to a water hole In the spring time, "I soon found I couldn't run things alon. They was too many (-r me. When I was havln' a dispute at one end of town they was raisin' hell at the other. "I had a staudin' offer of ITS a month and chuck for an assistant. Finally a feller named Kody Power blew In and aald he'd take It. That' Rody Power was a dandy. At the end of three weeks Rody had planted twenty-one men. klllin' some desperado with every sunset, but his tenty-f!rst man Dearly cost him his Ufa. "Kody bad arrested a hangeron who was try-In' to kill his woman, and Rody nearly boat th life out of htm. The Jail In them day wag a so 'couul affair aud this feller had a gun slipped Into him and said he was goln' to kill Rody. Th man that give the prisoner the gun told Rody. H marches up to the Jail, throws open the door and begins shootl'n. Th man dropped dead with his gun In his hands. "Enemies said we were assassinating people and the vigilantes got after Rody. I heard of it, gave Rody the best horse I had and he hiked. That left m shy. The vigilantes wouldn't help and I bad to re sort to extreme measures. About a month later a committee waits on me and says while they appreciate my work. If I don't leave they'll burn the town down. They calls me a 'destrooctlv element,' who was hurtln' the camp. " "Very well gentlemen,' I says. TH go, but when you call on me I won't return. "I went up the road 'bout eighteen miles and gets a contract preasln' hay. A week later a beggln' letter come for m to come back. At the end of thre weeks I .got two more, which I tore up. A few day later and a feller on hoeaback comes to my cabin with a message from the chief of the vigilantes. " Trlend Bill.' he writes, 'if you want recompense for all your sufferln's com to Laramie tomorrow at o'clock. A train- load of vigilante la comln' to make this a moral town.' "I - went down to aee the doln's. Tm under oath. Bill,' the chief of th vigilantes tells me when I ask him the next day about the plan, 'but there's 800 men comln' on the train.' "He wants to give m a gun, aayln' one's not enough, but I tells him they drove ma out at camp one an' I won't take no part In t-stlvlttes. At I SO o'clock that evenln' while I'm at the derot a trsln comes sllpnin' along with - - -V and lights all out out tioiu luo town a little ways men begin to drop off In twos and threes, all armed. More got off where I am. In about five minutes a chain picket Is thrown around Laramie, and the shootln' begins. "In big bunches the vigilante went from gamblln hell to dance hall, iocal members pints out the bad una. Poker tables are left with dead men holdln' cards and faro dealers H killed with their pockets bulgln' with money which they stuffed In when they heard the racket. Pretty soon the pickets begin firln', drivln' back pore devils who tried to get out of town. "Som of those Vigilantes were as bad as th men they killed. In the dance halls they shot some of th women who were on th stag. Killed 'era out of pure deviltry. Say, did you ever hear of them rabbit drives In Washington; they bd a man drive In Laramie that night. "I was with a gang that went tuto one Joint where they found the leader of the toughs. Warner he was driven out of Helena by the Vigilantes and came to Laramie. He was standln' on a poker table lookln' white and sick when we came In. "He spots me and sings out: 'Save me, Bill save me Bill , and I'll go back to St. Joe and look after my wife and kids.' Just then the guns begin to spit and he keels over with a gurgling sound. " 'Whose Bill r asks the Vigilantes, gettln' ready to shoot. I keeps still. I wouldn't 'a saved Warner no way. Tou see this?" and the old man took off his hat and disclosed a long scar where the hair and part of the scalp had been chis elled away. "He gave me this when I ar rested him one time." The speaker paused for awhile. "Big Steve, we called htm," he resumed in a softer tone, glancing about him. "He was a big hearted fellow. Always smllln' and Jokln' and lendln' his money to poor people. There was a kid, I remember, who was slowly dyin'. He'd watch the trains goln' east every day. Steve was at the station on day when he caught the boy brushln' away hla tears. "That kid was plnln' for home. Steve finds out where his home is, buys him a ticket and gives him fifty dollars. Then he hurries away. "I told him If he didn't break away from the crowd he was tratlln' with the vigilantes would get him some day. He Just laughs. " 'That's all right, Steve.' I says. 'Tou think 'cause you're on th square they won't tech you. They'll hang you, loo. Well, you'll die with your boots on any way,' I concludes. "Bet you I don't die with my boots on,' he replies. "When the slaughter begins that night Steve must have remembered what I tol' him. The gang 'sees htm streakin' Into a shanty. When I got there they was Jus' takln' him out. " "One minute, gentlemen.' he pipes out when he sees me at the door. He squatted on the floor and yanked off bis boots. 'Let us proceed with this little drama now,' he says as chipper as you please. Steve died like a gentleman. "When the affair first began the vigi lante ahot their men first and then hanged them afterward. This boob got tiresome and they let the men lie where they fell. When mornln' came there was hardly a pane of glass left In the town. "Along about 10 o'clock a train came 'n with about 00 tie cutters and graders, who had some old scores to settle. They was put on the picket and the roundup eon tlnutd. An old man whose son had been killed In cold blood two months before by th thugs was elected Judge. A big tripod was erected by the Judge's stand. Then the work was divided regular. One gang of about fifteen was named the es corting party to take those fellows out of town who wer not bad enough to hang. Another was th hangln' outfit whloh would have won the Cakewalk In the French revolution. Gangs of fifty were told off to bring the toughs before tho Judge. He was a stern old fellow, but I don't think he made many mistakes. "Other camps have hanged mor men, but not all at onct and so suddenllke. The news soon circulated and every few min utes that day more men would come rldln' like biases to Laramie. They was fresh to the work and as the fellers that did the work the night before played out the new fellers got busy. j "There wasn't any Jokln' that day; everybody was black and squally and acted strangellke and offish. Sometimes a man was found In the crowd around the tripod who'd better been hid, and he was taken up before the Jedge. "Nearly all were cowards. Some fainted and had to be held while the rope was put around their necks; others begged and prayed fellers that always cussed religion. Beln' only a spectator and takln' no ac tive part In the proceedings I couldn't stand It all day, an' went off to the other part of town. 'Besides Big Steve, there was only one other man who died game Johnson, I believe his name was, a college chap from Washington, P. C, and a superior kind of an Individual. He was blled In poison, and there wasn't nothing he hadn't done. The night the doln's started he was crossln' the street. Somebody Ired at him and he dropped. The vigilantes ran up and was goln' to hang him then, but seeln' other game decided to wait. They took a 11.000 bill from him which he always carried In the llnln' of his coat, and left. "He managed to crawl to his room and stayed there all night. The next mornln' he creeps to a saloon. 'Give me a drink and damn quick,' he says to the barteder, lookln' over his shoulder and through the door at the vlgtlantes, who seen him and is headed his way. The dogs will be soon here to get In at the death.' "After that day Laramie was reformed. The vigilantes killed between forty and sixty men and a couple of women. No body ever found out how many was killed In them two days, for lots was never ac counted for." A t'fcaar to Get K'M. There's one consoling Feature about all this," chuckled the broad-shouldered Inrll virtual hn had Just been turned away Irom the pearly gal. "Mow I'll nave a chance to meet those sons-of-guns who invented cigar bands, barbed-wire fences, and woolen pillow-sham holders," Fuck. WHERE THE TALL HAT REIGNS Kansas Pllcrlni Takes a Peep at Lon doner In Stovepipes and some Clothes. William Allen White of the Emporia (Kan.) Uasette concludes his observations of th British capital with this pen picture of the Londoners and their clothes: To an American, green from the great plains, where there Is no Insignia of rank, the oddest thing about London Is th plug hat. In no other country of Europe, and In no place in th United States Is the high black hat so common. Some way the plug hat, which with us Is the banner of a cheap politician. Is supposed In Eng land to be the sign and index of a gentle man. So all persons who consider them selves gentlemen, wear black tiles. More over, they are like "hot cross buns," In that you "give them to your sons." Little boys from ten or a dozen years old, who go to fashionable schools, wear plug hats and wide-starched collars and long trou sers. But, strange to say, tne rise oi ine man who has the price of a high hat has made the stovepipe so common that the gentleman is no longer distinguished from those whom he is pleased to consider the dust on his feet. And any morning the bus tops are filled with men going to hon est toll, adorned with black chimneys. With ua, It Is bad form to wear a plug hat In the morning, and it Is worse for us to wear It with a sack coal. But hert the plug hat la worn all day, and with any kind of a coat the wearer can afford. And so keen is the desire for social distinc tion that bank messengers, who are com pelled to wear brass buttons and dark blue or dark green or dark wlne-coloied coats, don high black stovepipes and fancy that these hide their liveries. The desire to be considered "somebody" so cially la the master passion of huudreda of thousands of people; and to that pas sion lis possessors sacrifice comfort, good sense and happiness. So on busses and In little compartments on the train, and In the street, it is rare that you find a group I of Englishmen talking If they are strang ers. The lower classes fear to Intrude upon the higher and the higher fear that they will contaminate themselves by speaking to the lower, and as all wia. plug hats and badly fitting clothes, no one knows anyone else's station, and no one seems sure of his own. Therefore they sli in solemn silence, where with us. the law yer from Lenver would be telling the Chi cago broker the "new oie" thai the bait Lake drummer told him last week, while the whole smoker laughed until the Kan sas City commission man asked If they had "heard th on about the Jew who wanted his life Insured." The English miss a lot of fun by stocking for their social rights. And you would think that men who set such store by being social somebodies would wear clothes to fit the part. But the Englishmen are the worm dressed male animals on earth. Far be It from this deponent, who never shrinks at wearing anything Sam Rosenfeld puts on him; for be It from him to 'set himself up as a glass of fashion. And yet he would not wear th clothes these English wear If he lost the advertising of the Star Clothing house In the Gazette for a year. And what's more, Sam Rosenfeld hasn't a suit In his stock as badly "set" as these English clothes. We went out one day to a clothes show the Eton-Harivv.-cricket match. All the swells of England were there and as It was an invitation affair, no on else was there bul lords and earls and dukes and honorable, and the face cards of the deck. And such others! They wore for coats three-button, old-fashioned "cut-aways" that hiked up in the neck, wadded under the arms, wrinkled across the back and bulged out in front like the breast-bone of a chicken. Underneath these coats they wore fancy vesta that created across the front, ana shirts that didn't fit any place. Th un dersigned Is no dude. He gives little' thought to raiment, but he would die of mortification with an English tailor's clothes on, and pull them oft and walk easily and nonchalantly around In his Underwear. Indian' Girl on Cent. A correspondent of the New York Time tells this story of the head of the Indian girl on the cent: "In Philadelphia lived a child, 8 or 8 years of age, by the nam of Sarah Ixmgacrx, whone father was a fine engraver, and held official relations In tne government, una was employed at the mint. A delegation of Indians came from the far northwest to pay a visit to Waxh- ingtnn and call upon the president. Thunc they proceeded to Philadelphia and were invited to the house of Mr. Longacre.
