Administration This photograph is the original of the gallows on which the notorious outlaw sheriff, Henry Plummer, and his deputies, Ned Ray and Buck Stinson, were hanged by the Vigilantes on Jan- uary 10, 1864. The negative is in the files of the Beaverhead County Museum. Plummer’s grave has never been marked; it had gradually become obliterated by the elements until no one but a few of the oldest townsmen could point to its exact location. The fame of the Vigilantes and Henry Plummer’s Innocents, which had their beginning at Bannack during the early gold rush days, is drawing tourists in ever - increasing numbers. A .little help in directing them to this ghost town when pass- ing through Beaverhead County will cause them to pause longer. 7
