Bandits Hold Up Stage to Rescue Edmonson Gang at Boulder
Montana history recalls the 1884 Boulder term when masked road agents halted a stage, aimed to free Henry and John Edmonson. Judge Wade, attorneys, and jurors faced gunpoint danger as deputies and sheriffs battled the raiders. The Edmonsons were later sentenced, and Murphy was lynched by a roadside mob near Helena.
