I MONTANA SANDERS
He Regales Washington People
With Wild Western Stories
RACKET AT RATTLESNAKE RANCH
Sanders Tells How His Hair Stood on End
and How lIe Saved Himself
by a hot Gun
WASHINGTON April 10 1890 Special
jorrespondenco of THE HERALDJI
chatted last night with Senatorelect Sand
ers about his exciting experiences in the
early days of Montana He was one of the
leaders of the Montana vigilantes who
cleared that state of its road agents and
who hung more than a score of the most
NOTORIOUS BOBBERS AND MURDERERS
that ever plied their trade among the min
ing regions of the far west Colonel Sand
ers is six feet tall His frame is very large
and wiry and it has not an ounce of super
fluous flesh on it His hair is still black
and he is as vigorous today as he was
when he made the speech which hung the
notorious murderer George Ives This
was only a few months after Sanders came
to Montana The whole country was then
practically owned by the road agents The
sheriff belonged to the band of robbers
and the leading officials formed a part of
the gang Attempts had been made before
to try them but the juries had been packed
by these officials and justice had been
mocked Ives had been connected with a
number of other murders when he was
arrested for the killing of a German He
was taken in the act and there was no
doubt of his guilt At the trial Sanders I
was the prosecutor and he made his speech
ngainst Ives standing up in a wagon with a
mob of angry miners surrounding him
Fully five hundred of these miners were
friends of Ives and Senator Sanders says
when he arose to speak ho could hear the
revolvers clicking throughout the crowd
He was wearing a new overcoat and in
one of the outside pockets of this he had a
revolver which he had not used for some
days and he was not sure whether it would
off upon any occasion He decided this by
cocking it in his pocket and shooting a hole
through the coat into the ground When
he went homo to Bannock after the trouble
vas over his wife who had know nothing
jf the danger he was in found this hole
nd asked him what it was
Oh said he thats nothing and he
would not tell until she finally wormed it
ut of him Mrs Sanders knew nothing
sf his association with the vigilantes until
come time after the hanging of Ives
SOW SANDEPS ADDRESSED FIVE HUNDRED
COCKED PISTOLS
In addition to this revolver Senator
Sanders had two Colts pistols in his pock I I
ets and a derringerand he intended to fight
to the death if attacked When he began
his prosecution of Ives he said he did not
appreciate the danger he was in but he saw I
that his only safety was in putting on a
orave front
Had they supposed for an instant that I
S eared them I would have been shot said
be and the first struggle occurred in the
selection of a jury We had twelve men
from Nevada City and twelve other jurors
from Junction and the deputy sheriff who I
belonged to the gang wanted to appoint
twelve more I knew that his twelve if
selected would release Ives andI objected
He thereupon denounced me and drew a
revolver and said he would hold me person
ally I responsible for my objection There
was another cliCK of pistols throughout the
crowd There were more than five hun j
ired men all armed and a fight seemed
imminent I looked the deputy sheriff in j
the eye and told him that if he wanted to
settle thismatter I would give him a chance
after the trial was over that 1 was busy
DOW with this trial but that as soon as it I
was done he should have all the opportuni
ties he wanted Not one man in five in
that crowd knew me and this action helped
my position The crowd saw that 1 was
not afraid and I was then permitted to go
en with my speech The verdict was that
Ives be hung on the spot and it was very
much to the surprise of the road agents
that he was hung After the hanging was
over the excitement was intense My life
was threatened on all sides and I didnt i
know whether I would be shot or not I
had several narrow escapes and that night
one of the band came Into a store in which
I was sitting with tho evident intention of
shooting me He was taken out however
before he did any damage
HIS NARROW ESCAPE SEAR SALT LAKE CITY
At my request Senator Sanders related
another affair in which he was very close i
to death
It was said he when I was going to
Salt Lake city Wo traveled by stage 1
coach in those days and I had ridden all
night and in the morning found myself at
a little hotel near where Corinne is now
on the Central Pacific and about eighty
miles from Salt Lakecity Hero the stage
stopped to feed the horses and I went into
the sar Off of this bar room to one side
was a dining room and on tho other side
there was a room in which a number of J
men were playing poker Tho game did j J
not seem to be a very quiet one and It 1
could Jicar swearinc and quarreling going I I
on The hotel was kept bya German and
the Germans wife gave me my breakfast
After I was through I returned the bar
I room and while standing there the poker
game broke up and ahalfdozen angry men
filed out into the barroom It seemed that
one of the players had grabbed the stakes
and the German hotel keeper was the loser
HewM denouncing this man in no meas

t n tI
+ r
ured terms was cursing him in two lan
guages and was demanding that lie give up ti
the money I stood and watched the alter
cation All at once the man who had taken
the money caught my eye and said
h Aint your name Sandersi1 I
IHIt issaid I
Well he replied with an oath II have
a settlement to make with you and I want
to see you outside You are the man who
helped to hang my friend Slade and I am
going to even up matters with you With
that he drew a pistol and said I want you
to come outside with me
I said I All right and thereupon he
started toward the door leading the way
The German in the meanwhile paid no at
tention to this new phase of the situation
and continued his importunities for the
money I could easily have shot the man
as I went out behind him and I had a num
ber of chances to get the drop on him The
Germans wife however rushed out as
soon as we got past the door and added her
denunciations to those of her husband and
the quarrel became so hot that the man had
no chance to pay any attention to me and
at this moment the stage was ready to
start and the driver saying to me that
there was no use in my risking my life for
such a drunken cut throat as that told me
to jump on the coach I saw that ho was
right and did so and the team galloped
away leaving the gamblers still quarrel
ing
A STORY OF SLADE
Was this man Slade the same man
whom Mark Twain describes in Roughing
It Yes replied Senator Sanders Ibe was
the same man He was an extraordinary
character and I see that it is now stated
that the story of his killing a man at a
ranch on the site of Julesburg is denied
I have no doubt that tho story was true
for it was told to me by Ben Robinson a
noted frontiersman who was present at the
time and who gave it with au accuracy of
description and with such horrible details
as would have made his fortune as a novel
ist had he concocted it out of his own brain
In this case Slade tied his victim to a stake
inthe corral and then amused himself by
shooting at him and seeing how close he
could come to the vital parts without hit
ting him He shot bullets into these parts
of his body without inflicting a mortal
wound and then cut off the mans ears and
put them in his pocket and then killed him
He carried these ears in his pocket for a
month as a trophy of his crime Thishow
ever is but one of his murders and he com
mitted others equally atrocious
SANDERS LIFE SAVED BT A SHOT GUN
Mrs Sanders here referred to the Sena
tors narrow escape at Rattlesnake Ranch
and Colonel Sanders said
That story can hardly be associated
with the vigilantes It did not occur dur
ing any raid upon them but it was the out
growth of a little mining adventure of my
own There were a number of these rob
bers who had announced it their intention
to go out to Rattlesnake Ranch and myself
and some other parties thought they were
looking after some mines of which we sup
posed we had the secret and I decided to
I follow them They were in reality starting
j out on an expedition to rob and murder
I and their destination was different from
i that which they gave out After they had
left the town I took a good horse and
started toward Rattlesnake Ranch It was
some miles away and was a lonely cabin
which was used as a ort of hotel and bar
room Shortly after I left a great storm
came up ana it thundered and blow and I
rained all night When I reached the I
ranch I found several drunken
miners in it I
and these and the bartender made up the
party Everyone slept on the floor in those
days There were no beds and all were
expected to carry their bed clothing with
them In this ranch however there was
a bed tick about six feet square lying on
the floor in front of the open fire It was
probably the only bed tick in Montana
owned by bachelors and upon my getting
ready to turn in the bartender told me that
I I might lie down on it and sleep with him
I took off my coat and vest and bundled
them up into a pillow and lying down with
the bartender beside me was soon asleep
About midnight we heard a terrible rap at
the door and the bartender got up and
picking up a shotgun went to the door and
asked Whos there
Its Jack was the reply and after a 1
time the bartender opened the door and al
lowed the man to come in I found that he
was one of the party who had started out
as I supposed to look after these mines I
Ho had left tho town later than his com
panions had got lost in the storm and in
stead of being with them on their murder
had turned up at Rattlesnake Ranch He
was cold and hungry and wet and his
horse was played out He wanted a drink
something to cat and a fresh horse Tho
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 good swig and then
asked again for something to eat When
he was again told that there was nothing
he took another drink and so kept it up for
I half an hour until the bartender told him
that ho would sep if he could not get some
thing for him He then went out and
brought in a plate of boiledbeef and said
that that was all that he could find Jack
ate at this and took drinks between the
mouthfuls In the meantime wide awake
I had lain on my bed on the floor and
watched him I knew ho belonged to the
other party and I wanted to know where
I they were so I finally said
WITHIN SIX INCHES OF DEATH
I IItJack where is Piummer Plummer
was the head of the party I shall never
forget the mans action as ho heard these
words He evidently supposed thatIknew
about the robbery and he jumped across
the room to where I lay He stood over me
with a cocked revolver and itseemed to
me that the muzzle of the weapon was
within six inches of my head I was just
I six inches nearer death than I had ever
been before I do not know whether my
hair stood up or not but I had tho sensa
tion of feeling each individual hair stand
ing on end and I believe I could havo
counted them He then began to curse
with his drunken finger on the trigger and
told me that he would shoot my brains out
All this happened in a few seconds but it
seemed a lifetime to me It was certainly
not a halfminute from the time I spoke
7 S
fl
before I had jumped up sprang behind the
bar and seized the gun I cocked the gun
laid it across the bar and sighted along the
barrel at the drunken robber Ho saw that
I had the drop on him and with a sort of
drunken bravado he threw the pistol down
on the pine board table nearby and pulling
open an old army overcoat which he wore
bared his breast and said
Shoot if you wish to d n you l I
I told him that I was not anxious to
shoot him but that if there was any shoot S
ing to be dono I wanted to have the first
fire The bartender here went over to him
and tried to patch up a truce between us
It did not take much persuasion with my
shot gun pointing at him and after a short
time he concluded he had been mistaken in
his action and wanted to shake hands with
me I shook hands and then nothing
would do but tnat we must drink together
We did so and both insisted on paying for
the drinks and finally the bartender said
it was his treat and that settled it This
bartender was named Red He belonged
to the band of road agents and ho was
hung by the vigilantes shortly after
A LOOK AT PLUMMER
Plummer was the head of the band He
was a polite sandyhaired slender young
fellow who did not weigh over a hundred
pounds He was one of the best shots of
the mountains and it is said that he could
draw his revolver and shoot five times in
as many seconds and make every shot tell
Hewas a very companionable fellow and I
remember that took a Thanksgiving din
ner with him a short time before he was
hung He was strung up on the same al
lows upon which ho had hung some time
before one of his victims Before we hung
him he asked that he be given a good drop
and I lifted him up by the legs after the
gallows were 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 sometime to die
GENERAL SHERMANb BIRTHDAY TELEGRAM

To this General Sherman replied in one
of the spiciest letters he has ever written
Ho referred to his friendships with his old
soldiers and said that his hair was not
turning to gray as the newspapers had re
ported but that it was of the same beauti
ful brickdust hue that had sparkled under
the rays of the southern sun when Man
derson McCook Squire and he were
soldiers together The letter was about
five hundred words in length and every
sentence of it was filled with meat A
Washington newspaper correspondent was
with Senator Manderson when he received
the letter The Senator showed it to him
and ho at once asked permission to tele
graph it to the press Senator Manderson
replied that he could not give out the letter
without the consent of General Sherman
and advised the correspondent to wire him
He promised to do so and about midnight
01 that day senator Manderson was roused i
from his slumbers by a violent ring at the
door bell He hurredly pulled on his
clothes and went down to see what was the
matter when a telegraph boy handed him
a message which read

now SENATOR SPOONEE MADE A FORTUNE
Senator Spooner is worth to day in the
neighborhood of a quarter of a million dol
lars Eight years ago he was worth
20000 less than nothing He was earning
a salary of 10000 a year as a lawyer for
one of the leading railroad systems of the
northwest but his expenditures were al
ways more than his income He bought
everything he wanted and hunted around
the corners to find things to spend money
on His debts crept up on him before ho
knew it and when he reached the 20000
limit he began to be worried about them
He had started life as a poor boy had re
ceived a good education and had inherited
from his father a wonderful legal mind
Ho hail done much to make others wealthy
before he began to make money for him
self and it was his little head that had
convinced the Omaha railroad system and
it was his brains which aided in carrying it
out and making it a success In doing this
ho was thrown into contact with a Mr
Porter the superintendent of the system
and was made its lawyer at the above
salary One day about eight years are
Spooner was sitting in Porters office talk
ing business when the latter suddenly
saidJohn
John how much do you owe
Lawyer Spooner looked up a little sur
prised and said My debts amount to
about 20000 and I do not know what un
der the heavens I am going to do to pay
themTwenty thousand dollars I said Porter
Why we pay you 200 a week and how is
it that you have got so deeply in debt
I dont know said Spooner I have
never speculated and I cannot think where
in tho mischief the money has gone to It
has just gone
Well Spooner said Porter I am go
ing to give you a chance to start anew and
I will pay your debts and with that he
wrote out a check for 20000 and handed it
to Spooner
The future Senator grasped the check
eagerly and his face lit up Then hiseyes
filled with tears and he broke down crying
His first thought had been the joy at being
relieved from debt and the second had
shown him tho impossibility of his main
taining his selfrespect and taking money
III cannot take this Mr Porter he
blubbered out III am sorry to be in debt
but jeannot sacrifice my manhood by being I
an object of charity to any one and with
1
t
I
u
i r
that still very much affected he handed
back the check
From that time however tho millionaire
railroad superintendent kept his eyes on
Spooner He counseled him as to the
spending of his money and advised him as
to its investment Within a year Spooner
had made enough to relieve him of his in
debtedness and to have a little ahead He
cut down his extravagances and continued
to make money until he got the nucleus of
a fortune He has now learned how to in
vest his money and to save it and though
he is be no means a stingy man he has be
come a good practical business one and the
prospects are that he will dielike the other
moneybags who sit around him with a
good pile outside his coffin Tho turning
point in his life was that interview with
Porter and the railroad superintendent
who had made fortunes out of Spooners
braids had the satisfaction of turning him
into the road of making a fortune for him

THE THREE CLASSES OF COMMUNITY
There are but three classes of men in
every community the retrograde the
stationary and the progressive The
first two have little or no regard for the
newspaper and its influence and read it
simply to see what is going on but who
could fold their arms and see it die with ut
most camplacency leaving the progressive
class the only real sufferers The retro
grade and stationary classes of every
community aro generally the critics of the
newspapers and as Steele says Of all
mortals critic is the silliest for by in
uring him to examine ever thing whether of
consequence or not he never looks on any
thing but with a design of passing sen
tence upon it
