Witter In The Snow
EUREKA SOUTH 1854
(Graniteville)
By Hollis Bentley
The whole thing culminated at
the Eureka Hotel.:The board building itself seemed to heave and
shift with the weight of moving
men and their anger. The anger
and its promise of violence were
in the air. Anger was a common
thing toeach man---they all felt
it, but instead of uniting them it
divided them man from man,
until each man stood sightless and
without reason, not even prepared
for the fight they were all driving
for..
The Irish clan in Eureka South
was incensed over accusations of
claim jumping laid by an English
partnership. But the original
claims were forgotten as the
neighboring miners and residents

confusion of old buildings where young pines
break through the board walk and modern residents with tended gardens meet the tourist with

Irish feud inthe deepest of winter
months of 1854, Eureka South,
high in the spruce forest and isolated by snow, was threatening
totear itself apart as its residents
converged onthe street and in the
Eureka Hotel---totear itself apart
on behalf of nations left continents behind.
Glory Witter made her way
«patiently through the crowd toward an intersecting street that

carried and part dragged a great
laundry sack through the snow.
She could hear her shoes squish
with each step when the icy water
was forced out by her weight. Her
hands clutching the sack were raw

smelled of sweat and babies and
other people's dirty laundry and
strong soap. But her body was

She paid noattentionto the com~
motion around her and it was con~
fusion that marked her face when
a stray bullet knocked her to the
ground among the booted feet of
the rioting miners. But Glory
Witter rose, her blood staining
the snow as she went on home--now only dragging her sack.
Those shots so startled the
miners, so confused them that
instead of becoming a berserk
mob they were suddenly docile,
suddenly reasonable men again.
Those among them with greatest
conscience came forward and the
argument became a thing of
thoughts expressed by words and
it was settled by native intellieculiar kind of justice of the
early isolated mining camps so
strange interms of formal written
law, yet soright for the time and
the circumstances.
