Page overview

An interior back page (p.8) of The Butte Miner for Wednesday, January 16, 1901, combining local news columns with heavy commercial advertising. The right two-thirds of the page is dominated by a large multi-column linen-sale display ad at the top and a cascade of retail and furniture ads below it. The left third carries the paper's standard local-news columns — 'BUTTE IN BRIEF,' a court column, and a mining note — in dense small type. The editorial tone is routine and local; no major political or national stories appear here. The marriage-license item sits within the local-news column as an unremarkable daily listing among other civic notices.

Juxtapositions

  • The marriage-license listing for Jeremiah D. Murphy and Margaret Murphy sits within the same dense local-news column as a death notice for the infant daughter of E. A. Heanes, creating an unmarked proximity of new union and infant loss.
  • The modest one-paragraph marriage-license item occupies the far-left news column directly beside the sprawling 'ANNUAL LINEN SALE' display ad — domestic life recorded in small type against the commercial spectacle of Irish-woven damasks advertised by the column-foot.

Officer McQueeney testified yesterday in the case against Guy Symonds who was charged with disturbance. The officer said that he had seen Symonds for some time on Galena street and he was inclined to be noisy and the officer advised him to go home and also asked some of Symonds' friends to take him home. He afterwards found him in the New Orleans dance hall, where the officers went after another man, and Symonds made threats of what he would do if he had a revolver. The officers said that the women in the "Castle" were afraid to make a complaint. Officer Gilmore testified that Symonds was with a crowd who were yelling and pushing people off the street. Symonds offered no defense and Judge Sullivan gave him some good advise and then fined him $10 with a warning not to appear in the police court again. Officer Barney Ferns, in testifying against Mike Murphy, charged with being drunk, said that Murphy was fired out of one saloon on Main street and as he came out on the run the officer tried to get him to go home but he wouldn't go and he slapped him a couple of times and let him go. He afterwards heard of him in another saloon and following him there was informed that he had a pocketful of rocks that he had brought down from Dublin Gulch. "I guess the rocks down town were not as good as the Dublin Gulch article," the officer said, "so he loaded himself up in a locality where he was acquainted." The officer said he went throug [sic] Murphy's pockets but found nothing, and expressed the opinion that Murphy was either very busy on his way down town or his pockets were small. Murphy denied everything and during his testimony Officer Ferns stood up and with the permission of the court stated that he could have placed a charge of disturbance against Murphy but let it go at a plain drunk. The court made the fine $10. W. T. Baker will probably remember his first trip to Butte. He got into the city about 4 o'clock Monday morning and came up town. Just ahead of him were two women who had also just arrived and each was carrying a valice. As they neared the corner of Park and Main the man was close behind and one of the girls noticing Offiscer [sic] Barney Ferns standing in the shade of a building went up to him and one of them said that the man had insulted her and her companion by making indecent proposals to them. Baker had pleaded guilty to the charge of insulting women at the morning session of the police court. When he appeared for sentence in the afternoon Judge Sullivan gave him a scoring that he will have occasion to remember for a long time to come. The court said that a man who will insult a woman is a coward and a sneak and a disgrace to manhood. "The court will not tolerate anything of the kind and will do all in its power to drive such people out of the city," his honor said. He then finde [sic] Baker $30. At the mornin [sic] session of police court Jack Heany proved to be the star actor [column continues] ## Column 3 # Courtney's Cash Grocery [advertisement] 57 E. Park St., Butte Phone 185 # Special Today Only Eggs, Idaho ranch .......... 30c Butter, fancy creamery, 5 pound tub ......... $1.40 Lard, pure kettle rendered, 10 pound pail ......... $1.00 Cabbage, California, pound ......... 2 1-2c Rolled Oats, pound ......... 3c on the prisoners' bench. Jack was arrested on Monday morning for breaking a window on East Park street. In the afternoon some friends called and being told that the fine for such an offense would be $10, put in what change they had and made up $9.75, which was accepted and Heaney was released. Evidently he considered that his first arrest had interfered with his spree, and he was no sooner out than he proceeded to finish the job. He was so successful that he was arrested again at 11 o'clock at night charged with disturbance and was fined $10. This fine he is serving out as his friends evidently have not appeared to put up for him again. Three drunks werefined [sic] $5 each. # WILLIAM NEWTON'S CASE ### Attorney Who Was Disbarred Seeks to Be Reinstated. The case of ex-Attorney William Newton, who is seeking to be reinstated as a member of the bar, came up before Judge Clancy yesterday on a hearing of a writ of review directed against ex-Justice of the Peace Tim Herrington. Newton was formerly a member of the bar of this county. In November, 1897, he was arrested on a charge of petty larceny, the alleged offense being the theft of $7 from the desk of the county jailer, the money being the property of a prisoner in the jail. Newton was the attorney for "Veno" Dickinson, a vender of patent medicines who was in jail on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. The attorney asked for permission to consult with his client in the office of the jailer and the request was granted, but while the consultation was in progress Newton, it is charged, took the money from the desk. Before the trial came up Newton is said to have jumped his bonds, and did not return till last spring. Because of this state of affairs Newton was disbarred from practice by the supreme court. He now claims that he was refused a jury trial in Justice Herrington's court and asks that the proceedings against him be set aside. This result is sought in order to pave the way for an appeal to the supreme court for reinstatement as a member of the bar. An amended answer was filed yesterday in the case, and Judge Clancy continued the matter for further hearing till this morning at 10 o'clock. # STATIONERY AND FUEL. Benjamin Harrison, an ancestor of our ex-president, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was fond oft he [sic] good things of this life and a high liver. While a member of the First Congress, which met in Philadelphia, on one occasion he was joined by a friend as he left the Congressional hall.
