Some of them were in Virginia City, Montana the winter of 1880-81 as mail carriers at the time the vigilantes were ridding the town of thieves. No one was safe leaving the town because of thieves and murderers along the main road. They saved themselves by abandoning their horses and gear and walking out away from the main road.
