Helena police chief Thomas Travis received an ultimatum from conspirators threatening to blow up the city jail if two suspects connected to a Northern Pacific bridge dynamite plot are not released by Monday noon. The letters demand $50,000 from Northern Pacific, with a separate $25,000 ultimatum tied to the jail incident, and white flags on engines were to signal acceptance by October 4.
