WHOLESALE LUMBER PRINCE GEORGE, BRITISH COLUMBIA ue Pharmacy tonks, saloons and dancehalls, all thoughts of resistance forgotten as, with the sullen roar of an angry sea, the mob bore down upon them with shouts and cries of vengeance. Leaderless, they scattered for their lives. Here, there and everywhere were wild-eyed, running men, pur- sued by armed Vigilantes. Into the mountains, skulking in shadowed spots; beneath the beds of harlots and among the rocks and gulches, they vainly sought refuge from the inexorable wrath of the avengers. Saloons and honkey-tonks were smashed and raided. Armed thugs, con-men, touts and thieves were slugged unmercifully, bound and pushed through the streets till nearly 50 ferrety-eyed men swore and cursed behind locked bars while the mob sought ropes to make short shrift of them in one grand necktie-party. From the direction of Dyea came the sound of marching feet as huge bonfires sent forked tongues of flame leaping skyward and an uncontrolled mob prepared to batter in the jail doors. Only in the nick of time did Captain Yeatman deploy his United States Infantry around the wooden jail to prevent the mass slaughter of “Soapy’s” henchmen.

Caught in the net, the thief who had stolen Stewart’s poke was forced to return it to the delighted Scot,— the cause of all the trouble. All night, while the hunt for his henchmen went on, the body of the deposed King of Vice lay, spurned, where it had fallen. Not until the sun rose in a riot of scarlet above the jagged mountain-tops did a _ lone widow he’d once befriended seek out the body of the man who had helped her and see that it was carried to the morgue. Vigilantes Knew No Mercy Under armed Vigilantes all prison- ers against whom there was no im- mediate evidence for convictions were paraded past jeering crowds and thrown roughly aboard the Tartar. In vain they growled their protests. The Vigilantes knew no mercy. And, as a final precaution, each was warned that his reappearance in Skagway would be the signal for a prompt and well-attended necktie- party. Skagway’s days of misrule were over.
