The regulators made their first move when the Fort Beaten stage was held ur bv a band of road agvnts, who robbed the mails and passengers. The regulators pursued the band, overtook it, and a running fight between the robbers and the citizens ensued and lasted for a distance of ten miles. Two of the regulars where shot dead during the battle and several of them fatally wounded. The robber gang proved to be Jim Daily's. Three of them were killed, and Daily himself was wounded and captured. An engineer corps that I was with then got into Helena just after the regulators

hod come in with Jim Daily. He was a big, ugly, savage-looking fellow, and deflant even in his bonds. He had many sympathizers in the town, but they* were somewhat cowed by the sudden display of spirit on the part of the citizens and were afraid to make an effort to rescue the big outlaw, even when a delegation of regulators started with him to take him outside of town and lynch him. A good many of his followers trailed along with the party of executioners, though, among them one bronzed, whit©-whiskered mountaineer, who must have been fO fears ol^. And he was as tough as he was old. "The regulators took Daily three miles out of town and ran the wagon he was riding on under an oak tree. I don't remember the man's name, but he was a leading citizen and a Judge, and he placed the noose around Daily's neck himself, throw the rope over a limblind drove the wagon from beneath the doomed man's feet.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY"

E E S E N popularity of lynch //law in the West and

South has induced the writer to recall some of the famous lynching' bees of other days. I have been fated to participate in eight of these affairs and while I do not believe in such a swilt mode of vengeance.

I must say the ones I witnessed and took part in were entirely justified. Here I may say that they were not all in the West and South either. One was in law-abiding Maine. Another was in the empire State of New York. The first execution of the decree of lynch law that I ever witnessed was in 1809 at Helena, Mont. Helena wasn't the great town then that it is now. It was infested by gamblers, rustlers, "bad men," horse-thieves and all sorts of roughs and toughs, and they pretty mnch ran the place. A gang known as the Jim Daily gang, named for its leader, was a particularly offensive and dreaded band of robbers and thugs. The rule of the lawless element had become to decided and damrerous in that the better class of settlers got together and formed the He'ena Regulators, an organization sworn to clear the town of thieves, murderers and gamblers.

ieat West, eilrae with the

§nd of vfitn Daily's wild career. As the rone tightened about Daily's neck and his contorting body whirled around with its twistings, the whitewhiskered old fellow that 1 .spoke of raised his rifle and sent a ball straight between the outlaw's eyes, putting an end instantly to all the misrrv the strangling rope was entailing upon Kim. This action of the old desperado was, of course, a defeating of the ends of justice as it was administered by lynch law, and a dozen rifles were, in a second, at the old man's breast. But none was fired. He sat on his horse eredt and defiant, and his weagQi) covered the head of the rests* totes* would h&Tety&en as dead as the a angling Jim Daily, if one rifle had cracked on the grtaxied friend of the outlaw.

The leader of the relators was not there to die, and at a motion of his hand every rifle but the veteran desperado's was lowered, and the citizens marched back to Helena, leaving the old man with his dead leader.

After we got through with the Northern Pacific Railroad survey I came East, and in the spring of 1872 went to Preaque Isle, Maine, on some business for a lumber company. The first day I was there word canflflfett a store had been robbed at Balr^P!ils,a lumbering village some miles fro® Presque Isle.

Although this was in April the snow was still very deep. Suspicion fell on a an an named James Culfen as the burglar. It was learned that he was working at a lumber camp a doxen miles back in the woods* and the sheriff of the county sent one of his deputies, a man named Haydeti, with an aid* named Hubbard, to arrest Cmlea, The men went to lie camp on £&oe shoes. The nsact heard from them yn« from a boy named Bu

:..

who,

early in the afternoon of the Ua/ after the officer* had started for the camp, came into Ball's Milk nearly 4«a* exhaustion and fright. And w«»i a

uy a man nam boy Burd was

only other person there, except ien- The officers did not make basinets known and aiked ior shefl for the night. They went to bed.

Along toward rniunighttue boy Bu was awakened by a noise, and rtsinL up in his bunk saw Calien by the light ox tne fireplace chopping at Hay den. with an ax. Hubuard had aitc^dy been killed, as the boy could see. Burd shouted to Swanbeck, who was in the nest bunk. Swanbeck jumped up and 'escaped rom the cabin, 'xne ooy followed him. Swanbeck had disappeared in the darkness. Burd ran aimlessly into the wooas, ana soon heard Uulen on his trail, and, glancing back, saw that he had a lantern in one hand and in the other the ax with which he had already murdered the two Deputy sheriffs. It was evident that Cuiien was determined to overtake liurd if he could not put him out of the way. ne could .follow the boy easily, on account of the latter's trail in the snow, and if it had not b*.eu for a creek that lay in his path Uurcl would not have been leifc to tell Uie &iory that lead to the tragic denouement.

The boy jumped in the creeK, wadeci up stream along distance and crawled into a hole he discovered in the bank, lie had been there but a short time when he heard his pursuer coming up aloog the bank, Cuiien having lost the trail at the creek, and at once understood that Burd had taken to the creek. The assassin slopped directly over tue spot where the uoy lay hidden, and burd could lieui lain muttering savagely, lie stood there a minute or more, and then w»,nt on up the creek. Ten minutes he c^uie UaeK again and stopped within livo jei of where Burd was in htding. lie seemed to have an impression tuat the tor was secreted somewhere thereabouts, and stepped upon a lallen tree that lay across the creek at the side of the hdWow place in which Burd was huddled. He stood on the tree, outlined against the sky, for five minutes, listening and mutter-

ing. 'ihen he went back to the bank, and? presently retraced his steps down thef creek, liurd remained in his hiding-? plate half an hour longer and thencame out and made his way through the woods to Balls Mills, reaching there at o'clock in the morning with the terrible news, rourdays afterward Swanbeck was found dead in the woous, three miles from the cabin where the murder was committed, having succumbed to fright and exposure.

The Sheriff of the county at once went with a posse in search of Cull n. They found that he had a cabin at Castle 111 Jl, an isolated settlement, four miles oui Swan beck's camp,and also that he had a wife and two children at the cabin alone, and to his surprise was told by Cullen's wife that her husband was in the cellar sharpening an ax to go out on a chopping job.

The Sheriff went down iu the cellar and arrested Cuiien, who immediately said that he knew what he was arrested for, and doclared that he was not sharpening- his ax to chop logs, but to ci.op the heads off his wife and two children, so that he would have no incumbrance, as he had laid all his Tpians to elope with a girl living in Presquo

I say I am fated to see lynchings,and you may agree with me when I say that after seeing the lynching of Cuiien in Maine I made up my mind that I would stay in New York at least, that I would not turn mv footsteps in the direction of any part of our glorious land where a lynching might be not only possible but probable.

ago I heard that my friend, Al Larwell, who railroaded with me thirty years ago, was dangerously ill in Port JervisTN. Y., and I made a trip to that place on purpose to see him.

When I got to Port ervis I notioed that there was great excitement in the place, and I mingled with a crowd that was tending toward the Center of disturbance. I got into this crowd just in time to be borne along to the spot in front of Prof E. C. Forbe residence, where they were stringing up to a lamp post the negro Lewis, whose alleged assault on a white girl lad aroused the indignation of title town. The five men I saw strung up in Montana were bad enough to remember, but to get in on the ground floor at a lynching here in the East is something that once in a while keeps me awake o* nights, especially the one in Maine, justifiable aft it was.

mDICULOUS/LAWS OF A SS -ENGJIAND STATE.

AXOTHfeR COXMON SCOLD THE MAGISTRATE.

Mrl&J

Punished E in Ye Olden

HEN THE LAW makers of Rhode Island and other States of the East made laws against [common scolds they did not dream how ludicrous the whole proceeding would look to the people of the most glorious epoch of the ninecentury. The old law atill re

mains on the statute books of at least one of the States, as witnesseth a case in Biiode Island.' A woman is on trial eharged with being a public scold and a nuisance, and if convicted she will be bridled up like a horse and driven through the principal streets of the village. Of course she would sooner go to prison for from one to ten years, but her wishes will not be consulted. So if convicted she will be compelled |o take the more severe and humiliating1 form of punishment. It is quite likely, though, that she will not be Convicted. Though guilty as charged, she will probably be discharged, that the people ox the State may be saved from public shame. Such though would not libve been the case in our grandmother's days.

Nowadays, of course, it is not to be supposed that married people quarrel. The refinement of the age is against it, and when a man is scolded by his wife there is naught for him to do but to grin and bear it' But in former days it was not so.

When a woman, one of our grandmothers, perhaps, became so liberal in the use other tongue as to render herself conspicuous in the neighborhood where she lived, all her husband, if she had a husband, or her afflicted neighbors, if she were a widow or spinster, did was to proceed to the nearest Magistrate and make charges agaii^t hjr as a "c^mmpn s$o^l."

A day was appointed forthe trial, evidence was produced, and, if deemed conclusive, the Magistrate directed thai she should be bridled and escorted 'through the town.

The scold's bridle was always kept in the Town Hall or in the church,and as an instrument well adapted to me the spirit of even the most able and successful shrew. It consisted of an iron band passing over the head from ear to ear, from the extremities of which another band from one to two inches wide passed across the faoe between the nose and chin.

In front a plate, projecting inward rom the face band, entered the mouth nd pressed down the tongrue of the

TAMIK9 A SCOLD.

sufferer, thus effectually preventing any outcry. From the extremities of the face band another thin iron semioircle passed around the head at the back, secured on one side by a hing6* on the other by a hasp and staple. The back band was thrown open by means of the hinge, the bridle placed upon the hoad of the shrewish unfortunate the hinged section was then closed and fastened with a padlock, of which the Magistrate bore the key.

The scold was then tied by the wrists to the tail of a cart and escorted through the streets preceded by a crier announcing her name, offense and punishment, and followed by a mob of idlers such as can always be collected to witness a scene of this kind. One does of such medicine, it might he supposed, would overcome the temper of any shrew, but in case it proved inadequate there was another remedy still mors Severe, which was rarely known to fail.

After the scold's bridle had proved its inefficiency to suppress the clamor of the bOOM* and she was brought up again before a magistrate, recourse was had, as a last resort, to the ducking-stool.

The ducking-stool was a large chair without legs, which was fastened to the end of a long pole, balanced at the top of a post close by the waters of a stream or pond. The pole was arranged upon a pi^ot so loosely fastened that it pennitted of a consjdarahle vertical as well as horizontal motion.

The scold was securely strapped in the chair, a half dozen pairs of strong hands, generally those of the witnesses in the case, seized the other end of the pole and revolved the unfortunate scold until she went directly over,the water, when she was soused a sufficient number of times to kiH the ardor and impetuosity of her tongue.

Generally she wa* ducked until she gave promise of permanent reformation, and made oath upon the Bible or psalm-book, brought from the nearest church for that purpose, that she would scold no more. But instances have been known of inveterate shrews refosini? to promise anything of the kind, and in one case in the South of England 10® years ago an unlucky woman was ducked twenty-seven tintw before she was subdued, while a year or two before that another unfortunate was actually drowned, the determination of those iofilcUCf the punishment* "to subdue her being equaled by her resolution not to yield.
