Page overview

A broadsheet interior page (p.5) of The Anaconda Standard for Tuesday, 29 April 1890, divided across roughly six columns with a strong mix of local Butte news and commercial advertising. The upper half is dominated by news columns — a mine-death account, a murder trial report, a probate court decision, and a theatre advertisement for Maguire's Opera House — while the lower half and right-hand columns are given over largely to real-estate promotion for the Northern Pacific Addition subdivision, bank and retail advertising, and miscellaneous local briefs. The editorial tone throughout the news columns is matter-of-fact and dense with reported detail; the advertising columns are assertive and boom-era in character, projecting confidence in Butte's rapid commercial growth.

Juxtapositions

  • The account of Patrick Murphy's death — a widower whose ten-year-old son worked alongside him at the Montana Consolidated — runs immediately adjacent to a boosterish Northern Pacific Addition real-estate advertisement proclaiming '170 LOTS SOLD IN 20 DAYS,' a stark contrast between the human cost of the Butte mining boom and its promotional face.
  • The mine-death story in col 1 sits one column away from the Maguire's Opera House advertisement for 'Said Pasha' and 'The Brigands,' placing industrial fatality alongside comic-opera entertainment in the same editorial neighbourhood.

By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 98 [sic].—A fair audience was delighted to-night at the representation tion [sic] of "Said Pasha" by the California Opera company. The opera was presented in a manner far beyond expectations. It is full of pretty, taking airs, the costumes are elegant, the chorus of girls are good looking, the scenery is more complete than is often found on a western stage. The company has the extreme novelty and the decided merit of containing no stars. It is well balanced, no part being imperfect and every part helping materially to sustain the interest of the whole. It was a capital entertainment and the company will be rewarded with a crowded house to-morrow night. ### More of His Watches. Special to the Standard. BUTTE, April 28.—J. M. Donelson left for Spokane this morning, to see about the burglar captured there with some of Donelson's watches in his possession. Sheriff Sullivan left for Helena to obtain requisition papers and met Mr. Donelson at Garrison. They will probably return Thursday or Friday with the prisoner. ## Column 2 # KILLED IN THE SHAFT ## Distressing Accident at the Montana Consolidated. ### While Descending in the Cage Patrick Murphy is Killed and Several Other Workmen Injured. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—One of those peculiarly sad and fatal accidents which are continually occurring in large mining camps, took place this afternoon at the Mountain Consolidated. By this accident Patrick Murphy lost his life, and seven children, the oldest one about 15 years of age, were left orphans, their mother having died about a year ago. When the whistle blew at 1 o'clock notifying the men that the dinner hour was over, those working under ground began to descend. About the last to go down the shaft were Patrick Murphy, William Gray, Peter Leyden, Charlie Colston and John Comba, the latter, station tender. Murphy was employed on the 300-foot level and at about 11 o'clock had gone to the surface to get out some timbers which he intended to put in during the afternoon. In addition to the timbers, he also got out a quantity of lagging poles. According to the rules of the company, Comba, the station tender, tied the poles together and loaded them on to the lower deck of the west cage together with a number of timbers. The five men then got on the upper deck and also took a few pieces of timbers and a bundle of poles with them. They gave the signal to be lowered to the 300-foot and began to descend. When the indicator showed that the cage had reached the 200-foot level the cable began to slack and the engineer stopped the engine and told Pat Sullivan, the brakeman, to notify Superintendent Lacid that the cage had got jammed in the shaft. Mr. Lacid ordered the east cage to be raised and he and Sullivan descended to investigate. When they reached the 200 level they found the cage caught and resting in a confused mass of poles, a few feet below the station. The men were all still on the cage, but it took only a glance to show that some of them were badly injured. Leyden was the first to be taken off and lifted on to the floor of the station. He complained of intense internal pains and about the right arm which he said, he thought was broken. Murphy was then taken off and was found to be alive, but he died within a few moments after being laid on the floor of the station. The other three were also taken off and as soon as possible all were raised to the surface. It was found that Gray had received a severe scalp wound and that Leyden's right arm was broken, as was also his collar bone. Dr. Tremblay was summoned to look after the wounded and discovered that in addition to the injuries already mentioned two of Leyden's ribs had also been broken. The injured men were taken to their homes and cared for. Colston escaped with a badly bruised toe and Comba was almost uninjured, his right arm being slightly bruised and the skin torn. Coroner Beals was notified and held an inquest on Murphy. Joseph Lacid, John Comba, Jacob Oliver, John Range, Patrick Sullivan and W. J. Cole were sworn as witnesses. From their testimony, the cause of the accident was learned to be about as follows: As is customary the poles which were being taken down were tied together with a stout rope which passed around the center of the bundle. The bundle was then placed on end on the cage. In going down, one of the poles is supposed to have worked loose from the bundle and slipped downward allowing one end to catch between the wall plate and the side of the cage, wrenching the rope in two. This loosened the balance of the poles which then fell apart and as they slipped the lower ends were caught similarly to the first one, some of them being forced upwards and against the men above them, while others spread out and stopped the cage. This explanation is the only one that could be given and is undoubtedly correct in view of the location of the injuries that caused Murphy his death, the lower part of his abdomen being crushed to a jelly. Mr. Lacid, Mr. Cole and one or two others who saw the poles tied together and the cage loaded, testified that the same care had been exercised as usual and to all appearances no better loaded or more securely tied bundle of poles had ever been lowered into the mine. Comba has been station-tender for several years and is known as a careful and competent man, who pays strict attention to orders. During the inquest the jurors and coroner questioned the witnesses closely with a view of ascertaining all the facts and laying the blame, if any existed, where it belonged. They found, however, that the accident was wholly unavoidable and returned a verdict in accordance and exonerated the company from all blame. The jurors, were G. M. Lyons, J. D. Thoroughman, H. Roudebush, F. B. Harper, J. H. Blake and J. R. Bordeaux. As already stated, Murphy was a widower with seven children, the eldest of whom, a boy 15 years old is employed as a tool carrier in the same mine in which his father was killed. The deceased was a member of the miner's union, under whose direction the funeral will take place. ### They Left in a Hurry. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—John McCormick and James Jones were arrested late Saturday night for vagracy [sic]. The arrest was made under the state law and both prisoners pleaded guilty in Judge Newkirk's court this morning. His honor gave each one the limit, $100 and 90 days in the county jail. The severity of their sentences struck terror to the hearts of the prisoners and they begged to be given time to leave the country. The request was granted and the fellows began to make tracks for Silver Bow junction. ### Butte Real Estate. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—The following transfers were recorded in the office of the county clerk since our last report: Bob Simington to Alex McDonald for $250, one-third interest in the Sambo claim. Thomas Rogers to Thomas Waters for $60, lot in Burt lode claim. W. A. Edwards to Black Range Mining company for $1, Black Range lode claims Nos. 1, 3, 4 and Protection and Contact claims. Kessler et al to Patrick J. Holland for $210, lot 2 in block east of the Belle of Butte addition. ### Lloyd vs. Sullivan. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—The trial of the case of Lloyd vs. Sullivan on appeal will be heard in supreme court on Friday of this week. The contestants and their lawyers will move to Helena Thursday afternoon. It is thought that the final decision in the matter will be known within a week. ## Column 3 # ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE. ## Judge McHatton Getting the Evidence in the Barrier [sic] Murder Case. Special Correspondence of the Standard. BUTTE, April 28.—The murder trial of Joseph Barriere, charged with killing his wife, was begun in the district court this morning immediately after the decision in the Davis case had been rendered. County Attorney Baldwin was assisted in the prosecution by Attorney Charles O'Donnell, representing Mrs. Victor Hugo, sister of the dead woman. Attorneys Haldorn and Booth appeared for the defendant. A regular army of witnesses was brought into the court room and sworn, there being 13 for the prosecution and 19 for the defendant, besides an interpreter, rendered necessary by the fact that the majority of the witnesses are French. It is evident that the case will occupy the whole of the present week. Attorney O'Donnell made a brief opening statement of the case. Officer Edward James was first put on the stand for the prosecution. He told what he knew of the affair as he had at the inquest and the preliminary hearing. Barriere had given himself up to him and said to him that "the gun had gone off and his wife was shot." The witness went with Barriere to the house in Galena street where his wife was lying, found the woman dead and a bullet wound, he thought, in the right cheek. He saw no powder burns on the cheek. Mrs. Victor Hugo, sister of the dead woman, told of the funeral and said the bullet wound was in the left cheek. She had come from Chicago on hearing of the tragedy and knew nothing of the circumstances of the shooting. Dr. T. C. Cooper testified concerning the autopsy which was held by him. The wound was in the left cheek. There were about two inches of powder burn surrounding the wound. The pistol must have been held not further than two or three feet. The pistol must have been held at an angle of about forty-five degrees pointing upwards to produce the oblique character of the wound. Coroner Beal was put on stand this afternoon and gave an account of the inquest and the post mortem examination. He said that according to the course of the bullet and place where it was found, paralysis must have ensued almost instantaneously. It would have been impossible for the woman to walk or talk and scarcely to move after the wound was received. There was a circle of powder burn about 1½ inches in diameter about the wound, and the barrel must have been held close. Lizzie, the next witness, a colored woman had some evidence which she did not give in the lower court. She was in the water closet back of the house, next to that of the Barrieres, when she heard a shot. She remained 10 minutes there, then went into the house and laid on the lounge. She laid there about a half hour. Then the little child came running to her and told her that her mother was shot. She went to the house and saw the woman on the floor. The witness said that she heard the dying woman say "Oh, Lord! Alice! Alice!" This was new testimony, and was considered pretty doubtful, as Officer James and one or two others were in the room at the same time, heard nothing and had declared the woman stone dead. The witness was sure the shot was in the right cheek. She remembered seeing the powder marks. The woman on cross examination was questioned as to her evidence before Judge Newkirk. She said she was frightened in the preliminary examination, having been threatened with a horsewhipping. She said her testimony given at that time was influenced by fear. She said the night before the shooting she saw a pistol sticking from Barriere's rear pocket sometime after he had been searched by Officer Leland, as related by that officer on preliminary examination. Under Sheriff Shortsleeves told of what he found on arriving at the scene of the shooting, but nothing new was developed by his testimony. He talked of the finding of the pistol outside the door of the house adjoining that of the Barrieres nearly under the stoop. Two more witnesses whose testimony revealed nothing new were examined, after which the court adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. # IT WILL BE A BIG AFFAIR. ## Preparations Being Made for Erecting a Large Foundry in Butte. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—H. F. Brown, who recently came into possession of the Lexington foundry, has found it necessary to increase his plant. The ground upon which the works are located is leased by him, the lease expiring some time in July. As the ground is too small to allow the erection of such works as Mr. Brown has in contemplation, he decided upon a new location and purchased a large tract of ground near the Northern Pacific yards. Some idea of the extent of the new plant can be formed when it is stated that it will cost fully $100,000 and, and [sic] with the necessary yard room, will cover about two acres of ground. The machine shop will be 70x200 feet and a foundry of the same dimensions will also be erected. Both buildings will be equipped with the very latest and best machinery and appliances in use in those particular branches. Besides these two immense buildings, a pattern room and boiler shop of proportionate dimensions will also form a a [sic] part of the plant. Work on the buildings will begin in a short time, as soon as a few preliminaries in connection with the ground are completed. # WHIPPED A BRUTE. ## A Brute Printer Threshed for a Dastardly Crime. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—B. F. Willis, a job printer who has been in this city about six weeks, left in a hurry yesterday evening. Willis is accused of having enticed a little girl about 8 years old into his room and attempted to violate her. The child made its escape and ran screaming home to her father who probably would have killed Willis had not others interfered and induced him to give the brute an hour in which to leave the city. As Willis was packing up to leave, a man named Burke who rooms in the house, where Willis was stopping, made up his mind to give the fellow a little deserved punishment. He invited Willis into his room and as soon as the rascal had crossed the threshold Burke waded into him and gave him a beating he will never forget. Only when Burke was tired out did he allow Willis to escape. ### About Bricklayer's Wages. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—David Black, president of the bricklayer's union, denies the published report that a St. Paul contractor in the city is endeavoring to cut down local wages and that he has arranged to bring out a lot of bricklayers from the East to be paid at the rate of 40 cents an hour for eight hours' work per day. Mr. Black says that Chapman, supposed to be the contractor referred to, and who is to erect the Marchesseau & Valliton building, is employing all union men and paying regular union wages. ## Column 4 # JOHN A. DAVIS GETS IT ## That is the Order of the Court in the Contest of Heirs. ### The Administration of the Estate to be Held Pending Until the Appeal to the Supreme Court is Heard. Special Correspondence of the Standard. BUTTE, April 28.—Every seat in the district court room was occupied at 10 o'clock this morning, and standing room was not abundant. The decision in the applications for letters of administration of the estate of the late Andrew J. Davis was to be given, and the extent of the general interest was shown by the large crowd in attendance. After disposing of one or two matters of minor importance, Judge McHatton said, in regard to the Davis case: "I have looked the matter over, considered it and examined into the law in regard to the reference which the statute makes to the court's right to appoint, after a hearing, an applicant other than the one selected in the order provided by statute; and, in the judgment of the court, no greater latitude is given than in the statute. We are therefore bound by the order in which applicants are named in the statute. By that rule, it appears that John A. Davis, brother of the deceased, is nearest of kin, and therefore the applicant entitled to the appointment unless that applicant is shown to be incompetent. The objection presented must be very convincing to justify a change in the order provided by statute. It is well to keep in mind that the management of the estate will be under special direction of the court and general direction of all parties interested. If anything irregular should arise in the administration of the estate, the letters of administration can be revoked by the court. I fail to find anything in the evidence which would justify me in varying from the order laid down by the court. The offers to prove fraud have resulted in testimony as to occurrences between other parties and not between the applicant and any party. The court can not safely indulge in speculation in such matters and there has been brought to its knowledge no evidence of fraud of such a character as to justify the court in withholding letters. The judge then issued an order appointing John A. Davis as administrator and denying the petitions of all other applicants. The bond of the administrator was fixed at $5,000,000. Warren Toole for Henry A. Root, asked a delay of five days in which to prepare papers for an appeal and this was granted. Attorney Myers said it had been agreed between himself and John W. Forbis that whatever the decision of the judge might be, the appeal would be so speeded as to bring it before the present term of the supreme court. Some objection was made by Judge Kirkpatrick as to the size of the bond fixed by the court, but no reduction was made. It is though [sic] there will be no difficulty in raising the bond. The banks, it is believed, would furnish the bonds on the privilege of having one-half of their bond on deposit. Henry A. Root to-day paid County Treasurer Kessler $175 as the fees of the jurymen and witnesses in the Barriere case two days, the case having been postponed at Mr. Root's request. The eastern party had agreed to pay the expenses of postponing the Barriere trial in order to hurry up the settlement of the Davis matter. # MORE OFFICERS NEEDED. ## Residents of Butte Demand Increased Police Protection. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—Owing to the limited police force of the city, the tramps and vagrants are having a carnival, especially in the residence portions of the city. Daily complaints are being made of ladies being frightened and insulted by these insolent vermin, and no way seems to exist of punishing them. This evening a lady complained of having been insulted by a couple of tramps, who threatened her with all kinds of violence because she refused to give them something to eat. The lady resides in the western part of the city and says the neighborhood in which she lives is kept in a state of constant terror by those nomadic outcasts whose insolence and brutality are constantly increasing. During the day heads of families residing in that part of the city are at their places of business, leaving the women and children wholly unprotected—a fact the tramps are aware of, and hence their boldness, knowing that they run but small risk of being caught and punished. A general demand for an increase of the police is voiced, and if possible, should be complied with. A few more officers are needed to patrol the residence parts of the city during the day as well as at night. ### The Police Court. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—Although it was the accumulation of three days, no court having been held yesterday, Judge Newkirk did not find a very large docket awaiting him this morning. McLennon and one Lynch were caught in the act of fighting Sunday night. To-day both pleaded guilty—$5 and costs each. McLennon paid and Lynch, being hard up, was given an order on Jim Dwyer's boarding house. Hugh Burnett canvassed the subject thoroughly and seeing that the evidence was against him pleaded guilty to having been drunk. In default of $1 and costs he was committed. Sallie Doe disturbed the peace and dignity of Mercury street, Saturday. It cost her $5 and trimmings. Alex Johnson was another unfortunate who loaded up too heavily with poor whisky. Not having the necessary, he was sent up to board out a fine of $1 and costs. ### Arrested for Stealing. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—Officer Donovan arrested one "Red Jim" Dalton to-night on suspicion of having committed a burglary Friday evening. On that night some one entered the Chicago house and stole a valuable overcoat. Saturday a man presented himself at a pawn shop on East Park street and offered to pawn an overcoat for $1. Owing to the very modest sum which the man asked the pawnbroker became suspicious and refused to take the coat. Shortly afterward an officer appeared at the shop and notified the pawnbroker of the theft and left a description of the coat. The pawnbroker then related what had happened and described the man. Dalton fully answered the description and when taken before the pawnbroker to-night was identified as the man who had offered to pawn the coat. The coat is still missing. ### Two New Banks for Butte. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—Two new banks start in Butte on May 1. One will be the Silver Bow National bank, which to-day has been moving into its quarters on West Granite street. The offices have been finely fitted, ond [sic] the bank is all ready to start now but it has been thought better to start the first of the month. The James A. Murray banking house will also be opened May 1 in the fine building erected by Mr. Murray at the northwest corner of Main and Copper streets. ## Column 5 ### MAGUIRE'S OPERA HOUSE BUTTE, MONT.
