Gold Creek, Montana Tkhtitobv. Gold
Creek, or American Fork, Is the name of a
tributary of Ilellgaie River, which comes
into that stream from the west side, about
twelve tnilcs below the Little Blackfoot.
The creek carries a few hundred inches of
water, and after falling very rapidly from a
cluster of remarkably broken, bare, granite
l J-l I .1 U - U:U nKniralltf
bottom, of half a mile in width, into tho
main Hellgate River. Gold was discovered
on this creek, on tHe fl its and gravel points,
; in 1861, and has been worked ever since to
b considerable profit. Some pretty rich
gulches wore lound upon tlie tributary
creeks, and some dozens of men are Bt ill at
work iu them. At the mouth of the creek, a
settlement of twenty substantial log-houses
w'as built in 1801-2, and a ortion of the
houses are now occupied, and a part of tbem
were burnt down laBt year. IJaur yetrrs ago
the Blackfoot Indians infested the adjacent
country, and one fortified corral bears marks
of where these predatory savages tried to cut
away the gate frames, to steal a band of
. horses which was enclosed in it at night.
The gate was built with an iron frame, con
cealed between two layers of boards, and
the Indians patiently cut into the wood until
their knives met tlie jron when they de
sisted. This corral witnessed one of those
casos of swift, retributive vengeance which
so frequently overtakes criminals in the
' mountains of Montana. The circumstances
. are these : Two men called at the camp of a
man named Bull, who was camped on' Elk
'. City prairie, in the Nea Perces mines, in the
Fall of 1862, and asked to stay nil night.
Bull kindly entertained tbem, and they, with
' detestable ingratitude, got up in the night
and stole five horses and mules from, him.
Bull, nothing discouraged by the fact that
. be was sick at the time with ague and fever,
started with a friend in pursuit.' Crossing
tlie Bitter Root Mountain, one hundred and
sixty miles to Fort Owen, he followed them
down the Bitter Root River, thirty miles to
'T-T.llrrotn nnrl RAVpnt.v.rtVfl milGit un the Hell
h 1 ---- j - -r
gate River to Gold Creek. Twenty day.) bad
elapsed and the thieves felt safe from pur
pit. When Bull arrived in the camp, be
' called upon a trader, to whom be had letters
explaining hie errand, and from him learned
that the men were at that time in a neigh
boring drinking-house. Hastily loading a
douiile-barreled shotgun, Bull, accompanied
by the friend who had attended bim frqm
Elk City, went over to the drinking-honse
This establishment was a low, hewn-log
cabin, with a thatched roof, and here were
' the long sought viilinns who had set him
a-foot. One of them saw Bull, as he came
up, and immediately jumped upon a horse,
which was hitched to the corral, and fled
The other, whose name was Bill Arnctt, was
dealing a game of monte. As Bull entered
the door, Arnett recognized him. Springing
to his feet, With bis cards in one hand, with
the other hand he reached for his' pistol
But Bull was too quick for him and brougnt
him to the ground dead, with two charges of
buck-shot and slugs. The other man was
pursued about ten miles down the river
caught brought buck, and hung on a gal
lows hastily improvised by two logs laid
over the top of the corral, with a cro-s piece
tied on it. Both were buried In a clump of
bushes near by, which grew around a stag'
.nant water hole, and Arnett was laid in the
grave wi h the monte curds s i ill grasped in
his hand. The verdict of the miners was,
'Served 'em right."
'"Thb Boys." We have daily proofs, that
" the boys'11 are practising their old tricks,
Bogus gold dust operators aro about; forgery
has been committed, and very small petty
larceny is prevalent. It looks as if the boys
will never take warning, and quit their ways
Wasco county has been to (he expense of
sending to the Penitentiary a delegation of
forty-five or fifty rogues, great and Bmall, and
still theycoino" There are now at large
about , fifty rogues of high and low degree,
any one of whom is good for a terra in State's
Drisnn if they return .to this county. If the
' boys will continue, to practice rascality in
this vicinity, they need not complain if tbey
get a position down below. Wasco county
tn stand It as well as tbey can.
Tbibvis About. The Vancouver Rtgitttr
soys that several instances of petty depreda
tions have occurred in that place lately, and
in one case a burglary was attempted. It is
pretty evident that the boys are around nearly
everywhere, and citizens will do well to be
upon their guard at the towns up the Colum
bia and below. The Vigilantes of Montana
are driving on to this side of the mountains
more than our share of the vicious elements
of society.
Bogus Dost. A rnnn'was arrested by Mar
shal Keeler'yesterday morning for exhibiting,
with the apparent intention of increasing the
volume of currency, a purse of brass filings,
tie alleges that be is perfectly innocent, and
in fact the childish attempt to pass such a
miserable ImiUlioti of gold dust as he had in
possession, argues an amount of innocent
simplicicy quite uncouimou in these times. He
was discharged.
A pbominfnt San Francisco paper is ac
cused of keeping a man whose business ap
pears to bo to wait upon newly arrived theatrical-
artists, and inform them that the
journal to which be is attached is tho leading
authority on all questions connected with
the drama. This 'is looked upon as an
" intimation."
