the law caught up with them with- in a year. They were iat-headed enough to get the idea that they could tool detectives and law oi- ficere. but a thirty years' sentence in "dursnce vile" gives ample time to reflect that "crime does' not pay." It the perpetrators had used their planning ability and daring in some legitimate enterprise, they would have been duly honored and respected.

Our friend (Pat) Patterson had spent the previous summer (1905) in the Klondike. He had come out- side in the tall and had the win- ter at home in Missouri or some of the mid-western states. Pat dis- closed to us the information that he was notoriously low in financial funds - in fact that the sum total oi his worldly wealth was three dol- lars - for the ordinary person it would be a. bleak and overpowering outlook, considering the high cost of living and transportation from Skagvway to Dawson. White Pam Railway fare to Whitehorse 320.00: stage iare White Horse-Dawson 3150.00; meals at road houses 31.50. bed 31.00.

It looked as if we were morally obliged to go in "cahoots" with him and carry him along. our sup- ply at ”simoleons" wasn't too boun- teous either - we had to "save" and economize in order to get through. The situation didn't ap- pear to worry Pat. He was smiling and self aseurant. A few hours af- ter we arrived in Skagway, a boat 11-om Frisco arrived with a number of tycoon mine operators irom tlho lower river (Fairbanks) aboard.

I was standing with Pat when Charlie Lamb, one of the former Klondike lucky mining moguls spoke to him and shook hands. Pat whispered in his ear confidentially like that he was ”up against it" Mr. Lamb took out a "roll" and passed a lzwenty dollar bill to him. It was the easiest and quickest "touch" I had ever seen..I remark- ed to Pat about the tree and grace- iul manner in which it was given.

He said "he knows I'll pay him back. It's the unwritten law in here." It was the "code at the Yukon", lmmonballzed by Robert Service a. year or two later in "Songs of a Sourdough". 0

Those miners who struck it rich in the Klondike were of the simp- lest and most sympathetic of not- ure's nobleman. It was against their Christian principles to give the cold shoulder to a friend or ac- quaintance in need. They belonged to the poorer, hard working, but adventurous class of humans. When they struck it rich beyond their most glamorous dreams, it was as- tounding the way they gave money to public institutions and to their friends. They were living examples or the truth that it is "More Bless- ed to give than to receive." In tact many of them went to extremes and some died even in poverty.

We had made the acquaintance of another elongated youth with whom we marched into a saloon and down the long bar - Indian file - I heard the snide remark of a lounger, "Ooh! This must be the ibig i'oLrr"' The "big four" was 9. common expression at the time in reference to some political or lnt:i-national organization.

I was regaled with a vivid des- cription of the imbroglio between the mayor of Skagwaih "SORDY" Smith and the citizens in 1898. which culminated in the death of the famous crook "soapy" and also of Reid, the champion of the cit- izens rights and law and order. No douilxt, most readers are familiar with the tragic saga, but a repet- ition of the salient facts will give llttlc distress --

Smith. (it that was his real name), was a graduate of the "pat- ent medicine" high pressure selling days in the middle western states. The modus operandi was to drive up to a crowded square in.8. coun- try village in a' covered wagon, and open up shop instantly. The vend- ors were generally the fastest and slickest talkers, also the crookedest in the country. They always had some special bait to throw to the unwary in order to catch bigger fish.

A cake of scented seep was the lure that the so called Smith pass- ed out. Imagine the beautiful sen- sation on the olfactory nerves of the majority of those people whose sole lubricating and cleansing agent was a soap made of grease with a modicum of lye or wood ashes. Due to his mesmerizing tall: and genes-

oslty with soap, the sobriquet "soapy" seemed quite apt and ap- plicable.

St. Paul says in one of his epis- tles, "He that contemneth small things shall fall by little and ht- tle." In Soapy's case the advance- ment in crime, and subornation or crime was fast. He was bless and blend in address, affable and ur- bane when the occasion required it. In his heart he was a devil incar- nate, with outer garments of angelic grandeur. His wearing apparel was the acme of sartorial periectlon. He was a patent manipulator also. He had political pull and presligu enough to get himself elected mayor, and some of his henchmen elected aldermen,

He had the police and Judiciary under his thumb too. Robbery and murder were rampant. soapy was getting the major portion of the spoils. Men returning over the onu- coot and White Passes with pokes ed gold dust would be waylaid and murdered on that portion of the trail through the part of Alaska known as the ”panhandle". which extends for nearly 200 miles down the coast and 30 miles inland-over the boundary in Canada the Mount- ed Police had Jurisdiction and liie was safe.

Pseudo trials and investigations would take place in Skagway, and each robbery and murder was "brushed off" on some pretext. Most of this criminality took place before the Skagway citizens be- came aware of the deep dyed D102, but when it became general know-

ledge. they got together quickly, formed a. ”vigilantcs" committee. It was one 0! those tense moments when mass psychology directed that in order to relieve the public mind 01 a state of impending disaster, something drastic must be done quickly. With one accord they con- verged on Boapy's citadel.

Many or them were. armed with riiles, shotguns and revolvers. It was expected there would be a riot and mass murder. The citizens had become desperate and were willing to go .ilu-ouslh to the bitter end. Reid was leader of the vigilantes and was in the i'ore'ront. The con- sensus was to i'beard the lion in his den". soapy was wise enough to see that his number was up. It was the end of the line for him. With the courage born of desperation, he stepped out or his emporium, rifle in hand ahead of his henchmen. When Reid saw soapy raise his rifle, he fired. They both fired at the same instant, and both died al- most immediately.

The narrator didn't tell of any more firing or mob violence. No doubt the tragic death of the two leaders overawed the crowd. The henchmen who could be rounded up were put in prison. The others departed in small boats or over- land trails under cover of darkness to parts unknown. So ended Soopy's brief reign of organized crime. Pal and I viewed the graves of bolt: both Reid and "soapy" in the cem- etery on the hillside above Slrag- WEY - along the course or the
