Montana Street This article is a month late; since it concerns the 91st.anni versary of the founding of the Pioneer Historical Society of Montana which occurred Feb. 5,- 1956, ' ’ . The Society’s first officers were Wilber F. Sanders, president, and\ Granville Stuart, secretary, both from Virginia City. There, were a number^ of secretaries as time' went on but Sanders, most prom inent figure in Montana of that day, remained as president until 1890'. In that year-part of the rec ords were destroyed by fire and some of the work had to be done all over again. Sanders’ last appearance in public life was as U. S. Senator: He was elected in 1896 when'Wil liam Jennings Bryan ran against William McKinley for President* after making his famous “ Cross of Gold” speech. The big issue was Bryan’s “free silver” at a ratio of 16 to 1 for gold. Needless to say, I voted for Sanders and McKinley. However,, there was a class who called themselves “Silver Repub licans” in the silver producing states. The 1896 election will not be forgotten by anyone who lived at that time as Montana’s was one of the most exciting elections in the history of the state. That was the year when Helena beat Anaconda as the choice for state capitol. The election that year was fay different frqm the one that had made Bannack the capitol of Montana Territory on May 26, 1894. The Territory had been carved principally out of Dakota, and Missoula county was big slice of eastern Idaho Ter ritory. The first election followed Sidney, Edgerton’s successful trip to Washington, D. C., and the first Territorial . election must have been about June, 1864. The Vigilantes were still wag ing war on the Road Agents, and continued to for several years. Joe A. Brown, owner of the ranch above Glen, near where the rail road Y was located, told me there was a nearby relic of a rock chim ney and a, cottonwood tree where two were hanged. He told me this in the 80’s while I was riding through looking for Hopp’s cattle. He told me the, Road Agents’ names bub it is top much to re member for an amateur. A story has just come to mind that was told me. by James M. King about 73 years ago this com ing July or August. I was pump ing the bellows in his blacksmith shop as he welded a pitman rod. He had been on a vacation trip to Wisconsin and at one place they heard him telling of Mon tana. A woman present said her son had gone to Montana and said “Maybe you have met-him.” . She went in another room and got a picture and King- had no trouble- recognizing, him—as one of the Road Agents. But of course he didn’t tell her, “Yes, we hanged Him.” That, man’s real name was Harry- Mills. - His as sumed name—and the one he was known by in Montana—we’ll omit for obvious reasons.' < King seemed to favor Sanders and Biedler more than any of the other men of the day. He told me that Sanders’ life had been ; threatened several times because of his activity with the Vigilantes —in fact, He was one of the or ganizers who had helped elect Jim Williams as captain.
