Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of North West Mountain police who preserved law and order in the Yukon during the gold rush of 98. That was the year that brought 50,000 men swarming in to the Klondike region. And the greed for gold led to frequent violence and bloodshed but despite the odds against them the force maintained a splendid record in maintaining the right. The challenge of the north was answered and justice ruled triumphant. The bank in Doby City was a small-framed building rich in gold from deposits from some of the finest claims in the Yukon. Late afternoon, two men face Bid Miller, Doby’s Banker, guns leveled as the small man faced them defiantly.
