BY THE EDITOR.
Talkin' about vigilantes, boys, jest
square round, an' I'll tell you how wd
did it on Scott's Bar once."
Wo were cnnipcd up in the Siskiyou
Range a prospecting party grouped
in the various easy attitudes of camp
life ronud a glorious pitch-pine fire that
sent its ruddy gleams deep among tho
.shadows of tho dense fir timber around
and overhead, and thq conversation had
uTntSrpnSDsuiii, vn tlte earry'HyToF
California. As Californians, wo have a
peculiar fondness for this kind of retro
spect. It does us- good to recall tho
flush times with their rich strikes, even
if the golden harvest did slip through
our fingers. We like to tell how tho
boys wing-dammed tho river just
round the bend, you know and took
out a wash-pan level full the first week;
how Sandy Drown sunk at the mouth of
the gulch until the water drove him
out, and an emigrant came along, went
six inches deeper, and struck it rich;
how Ned Jones got "broke" at a monte
bank, got kind of desperate, and picked
up a ropo with a horse at the end of it
how the boys followed him and took
Lhiui over to Kanaka Gulch, where Ned
poor fellow! asked them to send word
to his mother that the "Injuns" had
got him, and died protesting against
tho injustice of circumstantial evidence;
how "Twenty-one .Toe" shot a man
across his table, down at Spanish Plat,
and dealt the game all night with the
corpse lying on a bench in the same
room; how an emigrant, hunting his
horses one morning, found the famous
Gold Hill ledge, nnd sold out for a big
"home stake" within twenty-four hours;
and about Jake Smith who reached
Frisco, on his way! home, and saw a
chance to double his "pilo at a faro
b.ink, but went back to American Pork,
declaring that "luck always was agin
him." These and a thousand kindred
rwonl of pioneer life, seeming now liko
a dream, are told and retold with in
finite relish, carrying us back to scenes
so full of liberty, so strangely pleasant.
The speaker was Tom Gray, ono of
those easy-going fellows on whom bad
luck seems to ltavo a perpetual mort
gage always out at elbows, always
laughing in the faco of misfortune, al
ways hunting up a poker game, forever
getting up "broke." Even Tom's trou
sers seemed so desirous of parting com
pany with their unfortunate owner,
eternally sliding off him, that his w hole
life was an incessant struggle to retain
his scanty wardrobe. We liked, him,
however. Ho was trustworthy, full of
experience, and familiar with the histo
ry of every gulch along the faco of the
Sierra. He could always command an
audience.
"Let mo see," he said, knocking tho
ashes out of his pipe, "we struck Scott's
Bar in '51. Them was the diggtns,
boys; chunks big as flat irons lots oi
'em! Why, I've seen an ounce paid for
a candle to play a little four-handed
- - - -
game by-.-aces worth as high as six
ounces, an' ef a feller" get two Itair beat
it gen'rally cleaned him. "But," Le
resumed, after a thoughtful pause,
probably spent in contemplation of the
good old days when poker stakes were
more plentiful than now, "that ain't
tho story, an' ef you'll listen to me, I'll
tell you how wofixgd a chanjjnce thai
wasn't on the dead, square.
"In '52 there come an emigrant to
the Bar a young lawyer, by the name
o Smith. He Had nung out ins sutn
gle in tho States, but didn't have any
luck, an' come to California to make a
raise, jest like the rest of us. He w as
an innocent sort o' feller, so Sam Pat
terson an' I showed him a place where
the bed-rock pitched, and ho started in
an mil nrst rate, .every ootty iiKeu
Smith; .he was always singin' in his
claim. Ef you met him tw enty times
a day, he always had a pleasant worth
Ho didn't drink nor gamble; he said
there was a little wife au' baby back in
Illinois that needed his money worse
than the gamblers. Smith cabined
with a Frenchman by the name of Doc
tor Baid wo called him 'Frenchy
but he wasn't very thick with him, an'
always carried his sack in the pocket
of his coat to his claim. One day he
forgot it. Frenchy camewalkin' down
to whero he was rockin', an' told him
his coat was up in the cabin, he was
goin.' down the river, and he had better
take caro of it. Smith was scared,
but ho found his back apparently all
ExsTssazasi
right. Every Saturday night he weigh
ed his pile, an' the next time he put it
in tho scales it was short about six
ounces; but he might have made a mis
take in tho figures, an' didn't say much
about it.
"Frcnchy soon went over to Hum
bug, an' loft Smith alone in the cabin.
Along in tho Fall Smith's pilo had
swelled up to about 1,500, an' he fix
ed to leave. Ono night, Sam an' I
Was up to see him, an' didn't he feel
good? no was goin' in a week, an'
-JW-trs-JifHtc- wsgetV-tfrslf rrm-vrtit
his miniu' rig on, tell his poor little
wife ho was broke jest to see if she
would stick to him an' then pour the
whole sackful right into her lap. We
were busy talkin' about the old homes
in the States, an' it might have been
about nine o'clock when we heard a
little rustle, like a mouse might make
up on Smith's bunk, Wo didn't think
anything about it for an hour, an' jest
as we left, Smith reached up for his
coat. It was light as a feather; didn't
have the color in it. Wo begun hunt
in' round, an' found that a piece o'
chinkin' had been loosed during the
day, an' the little rustle wo heard was
made by tho robber's hand. Wo felt
sorry for poor Smith. Ho novcr said
a word but sot down, and swelled up
an' choked till the big tears come, for
tho meetin' with his little wife was a
long ways off now. Next mornin wo
raised the Bar, an' the boys were terri
ble hostile. There wasn't a lick struck
that day. We took a drink all around
then held a meetin', resolved that a
durned mean trick had been dono, an
formed ourselves into a vigilance com
mitteeevery ono of us. Smith said
Frcnchy was tho only man that knew
where he kep' his money; an when lie
told about missin' the six ounces, wo
concluded Prenchy was tho man we
wanted. Cy Herd was made consta
ble, an' sent to Humbug. Ho found
Frenchy jest startin' for Yreka, an' as
he didn't I
ho would go along an' git
a regular
warrant irom tne oiu uuer o tne vijn
lantes. He got tho warrant, an' I al
ways keep it to show. Since they
changed tho county to Siskiyou it
used to bo all Shasta some folks want
to deny that there ever was a commit
tee there."
Drawing out a greasy memorandum
book, Tom produced the document,
bearing tho marks of ago and tho un
mistakable stamp of genuineness, read
ing as follows:

Evidently proud of his distinction as

uniquo document three times twice
on tho back, ouco to give it an air of
legal formality, again to direct Abra

"Now, boys," remarked Tom, as he
folded tho rolic of tho people's court
carefully awayy'that didti'tjmvo many
big words in it, but it mount bus'rreH,
Cy put it into Constablo Thompson's
hands, an' they snatched their man an'
started for the Bar. When thev Kot
there with him, Frenchy was on the
bluff, an' allowed he would make some
body pay for that day's work. Brought
before tho jury twelvo of tho best
men in that camp ho weakened a
little, but sworo ho was innocent, and
called tho Holy Virgin which was
tolerable strong for a Frenchman to
witness that he had not been on tho
Bar for tw o weeks. No one had seen
him on the bar within that time. Cy
Herd found out at Humbug that
Frcnchy was there at sundown the
night of the robbery, and at work soon
after daylight tho next morning. Tho
only evidence was Smith's opinion; ho
stuck to it tliat ef Frenchy didn't
have his money he didnt want a
cent, but that wasnt hardly enough
to hang on. Some of the boys wanted
to hang Frcnchy on general principles
but that wouldnt pan; thero was some
good square men on the jury, and you
bet he got a fair trial.
"Smith told all ho knew. Cy sworo

and wo couldnt find a track anywhere
that fitted his boots. Tho jury went
out under a big oak all alone, talked
it over, and took ono vote; about half
was for Prenchy, tho balanco wantett

They went outtogethcr. Smith tall-
easy and soft to him at first. He t j
him about his wife and little ono til
was waiting for him; how i- was 01
cent ho had in the world; how ho
toiled for it, pinched himself to saj
and ef ho gave it up ho would
and never exposo him. It wl
when, all of a sudden, Smith junijsj
to his feet, drawed Ins sishooter,aa
in a voice so earnest and death lis
that tho prisoner's hpsbp a, vo quftv
and turn white, ho says, ei.cliy,
Know you navo got my money, and et
by tho time tho sun goes over tho hill j
you dont tell mo whero it is, I'll kill
you. Ho had him covered, and I al
ways believed he would havo shot hiuJ
like a snako thero was such a queer,
devilish look about his oyes that itj
made my flosh crawl; but in a few 1
minutes, thero was a loud yell, ami
Cy said tho jury had agreed. So tho
had; they had compromised, andagreed
to givo Frenchy a littlo swing - just
leave his tip-toes on tho ground -tha
another, and if that didntchoko tl
money out of him, ho was tho wroi
man. Then they come in a body,lookn
ing mighty serious, ono of them bring-J
nig a rope, wttn a regular hangman a 1
nooso at tho end of it. Tito foreman
read the verdict Guilty: to bo hanged 1
beforo sundown.
"Poor Frenchy looked at tho ropo,
then at tho jury; every faco was as cold
as a stone. Hegaveawildkind of a wish-j
ful look up tho mountain, but his legs
were hobbled, an' ho weakened riht
thero. 'Men,' ho says, 'don't hang me,
I'll show you tho money.' Sure enough
ho did. Thompson nn' Smith went

ho could, pulled the big sack out of a
crevice, an handed it to tho owner
without a word. Smith, in his joy,
wanted to let Frenchy go.but Thompson
said everything must bo dono regular,
accord! a' to law. Meanwhile, tho jury
got their heads together. Great Mosesl
wasn't old Beek mad. 'Boys,' ho says,
'a man that can fool mo on human na
ture that way, is an awful dangeroua
element. Tho majesty of tho law is
busted wido oien. Frenchy's got to
have a little taste, to show him Ameri
cans wont stand no foolishness.' That
is always tho way," said Tom, quietly;
'do a man a positive injury, then hell
forgit it; but jest imposo on his judg
ment, and he'll never forgive you. Tho
jury was all agreed on that proposition.
They passed a string o' resolutions
everything was dono that way: First,
that Frenchy get twenty-nino lashes on
tho bare back; second, that Smith was
to do the whippin'; thin, that tho pris
oner was to leavo Shasta Plains within
five hours; fourth, that certain money
found on him should go to pay all just
dejnands against him after constable'
