vigilance committee

The city had good government for twenty years after the operations of that Vigilance Committee.

As the judges and police could not control these criminals, nearly two hundred good citizens formed a "vigilance committee."

Not long after, the vigilance committee hanged four men, and roughs and law-breakers left town for the mines.

A vigilance committee, that dernier resort of the order-loving Westerner of that period, was formed.

At last the people organized themselves into a vigilance committee and ran down the thieves.
