10 THE BUTTE INTER MOUNTAIN MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 1911 ## Column 1 # GAELIC LEAGUERS AT MERRY PICNIC ## Football and Other Sports at Reservoir—Priests Join in Amusements. At 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning the members and friends of the Gaelic league left town in tallyhos for the reservoir on their second annual picnic. The day was perfect, the way was made merry with music and singing. Two wagons, decorated by James Hurley and driven by President Murphy and Patrick Scanlan, carried the children. The party arrived at the picnic grounds about noon, and after dinner the sports began. The following young ladies played a game of football: Team No. 1—Katie Holland, Annie Shea, Irene McDonnell, Katie Woods and Julia Sullivan. Team No. 2—Nora Sullivan, Mary Harrington, Julia Harrington, Maggie O'Brien and Helen Nolan. Team No. 2 were the victors. After this the men took the field and a lively game of Gaelic football ensued. Judge Lynch and his team, consisting of John McCarthy, James Murphy, Joe Hartnett, Dennis Dunn, John Crowley, Father Phelan, Father O'Kennedy and Maurice Drohan, played a team with Father Crawley as captain. The players in the latter team were John O'Brien, J. J. O'Meara, Walter Sewell, J. J. Crowley, Dan Leahy, Mike Sullivan, Dennis O'Neill and Father Slattery. Judge Lynch tried hard to win, and would have done so if the others did not make a few points more than he. The next on the sport program was the races. Father O'Kennedy came in first in the priests' race, and Walter Sewell proved himself the liveliest of the fat men. P. J. Sullivan was a close second, but the grass was too slippery for John O'Meara, so he stopped (?) half way on the course. Maggie O'Brien won the young ladies' race and Mike Sullivan the young men's. Mrs. James Cronin came in first in the married ladies' race. Kittie Harrington received a box of candy for reaching the rope first in the girls' race. A baseball glove, offered for the boys, was won by Francis Kelly, and James McCarthy won a baseball by coming in second. After the sports the party divided into groups, some going up to the reservoir and others singing and dancing on the gravel walks. About 7 o'clock they started home, arriving in town at 9. They attracted much attention as they came up Main street, singing "Where the River Shannon Flows" and "My Wild Irish Rose." The members of the picnic committee were: President Murphy, John O'Brien, Patrick Scanland, Michael Sullivan, J. J. Crowley, J. J. McCarthy, Julia Harrington, Katie Holland, Nora Sullivan, Mrs. O Brien, Mrs. Harrington, Mabel Leyden and Mary Burke. Much credit is due to the ladies who prepared the lunch: Mrs. O'Brien, Mrs. Harrington, Julia Harrington and Mary Harrington. Those who furnished music for the singing and dancing and made the ride enjoyable were Mabel Leyden, John Murphy and Mr. Heaney. The invited guests were Rev. Fathers Crawley, O'Kennedy, Slattery, Phelan, Batens and De Siere, J. J. O'Meara, wife and family, Thomas Prendergast, wife and family, James Murphy, wife and family, J. Lee Eshilman, wife and family, Judge Lynch, wife and family, J. J. McCarthy, wife and family, Mrs. W. O'Neill, Mrs. Himes, Mrs. Malia, Miss Hannah Burke, Walter Sewell, Charles H. Gallagher, James Hurley, James Murphy, Dennis Dunn, P. J. Sullivan and John Crawley. # SOME INSURANCE COMPANIES FOUND TO BE VERY HONEST BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 28.—The special committee of the insurance commissioners of the United States made public at Milwaukee, August 23, a report of its investigations. In this report the business methods of a number of industrial, health and accident insurance companies were very strongly criticised by the committee, which at the time made public a list of 14 insurance companies whose methods it had examined. The criticisms did not, however, apply to the Great Eastern Casualty company of New York, which was mentioned in the list of companies examined. The insurance commissioners report on industrial, health and accident settlements at a session in Detroit reported that the Great Eastern Casualty company had none of the tendencies found open to criticism in some of the cases examined, and concluded its report on this company as follows: "Considered as a whole, however, the methods of this company in its adjustments with policy holders are refreshingly honest and the commission therefore cheerfully accords such company the commendations it deserves." The Standard Accident company of Detroit and the Massachusetts company of Boston, are also commended by the cimmission [sic], which announced also that it found nothing worthy of special criticism in the methods of adjustment of claims of the American Assurance company of Philadelphia, the Equitable Accident Insurance company of Boston, or the Federal Casualty company of New York. ### MATTINGLEY'S.

[spans columns 2-3] [illustration: photograph, framed with a flag and laurel border, of a man in a cap seated in a wheeled chair; label in the picture: "GEN. DANIEL E. SICKLES AT ROCHESTER. COPYRIGHT BY AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION"] Greeted with cheers by 8,000 comrade veterans and with hand clasps by as many as he could accommodate, General Daniel Edgar Sickles of New York City, 86-year-old hero of Gettysburg and many other fierce conflicts of the civil war, made his appearance at the G. A. R. encampment, wheeled about in a chair by a devoted attendant. Forty-eight years ago, on July 2, 1863, the second day of the battle of Gettysburg, General Sickles, who commanded the Third army corps under Gen- # ADMIRAL TOGO IS VISITING SEATTLE ## Farewell to United States, Japs Line Streets to Greet Their Hero. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. Seattle, Aug. 28.—Admiral Count Togo arrived here early today from Vancouver, B. C., to pay his farewell visit in the United States before sailing for Japan. He was informally welcomed at the station by committees from the civic organizations, and hurried with his party directly to a hotel to breakfast in private. The only opportunity the public had to see the Japanese naval hero was during his trip to the city hall to call on Mayor Dilling. The admiral's countrymen took advantage of the chance and the streets were lined with Seattle's Japanese residents. Admiral Togo lunched as the guest of the chamber of commerce and tonight will attend a banquet in his honor. Owing to his continued indisposition the scheduled address to his countrymen was abandoned at the admiral's request. He did not wish to overtax his strength. Admiral Togo will sail for Japan tomorrow morning. # WANT KALISPELL COUNTY WARDMEN TO QUIT THE JOB Kalispell, Aug. 28.—Something of a sensation has been created here by the circulation of a petition, backed by a number of the prominent men of the community, requesting the resignations of County Commissioners Joseph A. Edge and R. L. Main, the two senior members of the county board. The paper said: "By overt conduct you have shown yourselves lacking in business ability to manage the affairs of this county," and suggests a prompt tender of their resignations to the disrtict [sic] judge. A comparison of expenses of the board for the past three years is made, declaring the board has spent $109,853 of the county's funds during the months of April, May and June of this year. # [KE]NTUCKY TRAGEDY. [BY] ASSOCIATED PRESS. [L]ondon, Ky., Aug. 28.—Reports have just been received of a tragedy of errors at a country church near Oakley, Ky., eight miles north of here. Worshippers leaving after the service were startled by three shots. It was ascertained that Bert Allen had shot and seriously wounded Miss Cristy Hensley and her escort, William Hurley, believing that he had fired on Miss Mollie Gains, who had previously jilted him and his cousin, Ed Allen, of whom he was jealous. When he discovered his mistake he blew out his own brains. Dr. Dodd, eye and nervous diseases. Examination free.

General Sickles received the congressional medal of honor for most distinguished gallantry in that battle, "both before and after the loss of his leg," as the record reads. Men who served under him there and at Fair Oakes, Malvern Hill, Antietam, Chancellorsville and other engagements where he led his corps have greeted him with affection. The general is only two years younger than General Grant would be if living. # ROBERT M'AULEY GIVEN A DECREE ## Easily Proves Divorce Case. Austrian Will Be Given Chance to Appear. Robert McAuley was given a divorce from Beatrice McAuley in Judge Donlan's court this morning. The grounds were unlawful cohabitation with an Austrian who is mentioned in the complaint as John Doe, because that doesn't happen to be his name. McAuley married the girl July 30, of last year, in Butte. Early this year she took up with another man she liked better and went to live with him on East Broadway. They were known to the neighbors as man and wife. For awhile it looked as if the woman would fight the case, as she engaged Will Barta to defend her and he entered a demurrer to the complaint. This morning, however, the demurrer was withdrawn and W. H. Maloney, attorney for McAuley, had her default entered and testimony was called for. The husband and four other witnesses all testified to the young woman living with the Austrian since early last spring and that they were known to the neighbors as man and wife. "The decree is granted," said Judge Donlan, "And now," to Deputy County Attorney Maloney, "you'd better look after that Austrian." "That will be done tomorrow; Judge Foley will look after his case." # LIQUOR VOTE IN MAINE. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. Portland, Me., Aug. 28.—The voters of Maine, Sept. 1, will cast their votes to determine whether the policy of constitutional prohibition of the liquor traffic, which has prevailed for more than a quarter of a century, shall be retained. Constitutional prohibition in Maine was first adopted in 1884 and statutory prohibition about 39 years earlier. # BLACK HAND MELEE. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. Boston, Aug. 28.—Patrolman J. G. Clarke and A. G. Copper were shot and seriously wounded, and Patrolman B. Dougherty was shot in the hand early in a fight with alleged black hand men in Rochester. The officers were trying to capture the men who were said to have ordered Mrs. Rose De Angelo to place $100 in the railroad yard there. # SHE FIRES A REVOLVER. A drunken man endeavoring to get into the Madame McCarroll store, 113 West Park street, shortly after midnight this morning, was the occasion for Madame McCarroll discharging a revolver to attract attention. Persons who heard the report came on the scene at once and the drunken man was removed. Madame McCarroll and her young daughter were in their apartments in the rear of the store when aroused by the man trying to open the door. ## Column 4 [advertisement spans columns 4-6] # 25=Piano Free Contest=25 Biggest, most liberal and squarest advertisement contest ever attempted by a piano manufacturer.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. Canonsburg, Pa., Aug. 28.—Emblems of mourning fluttered from more than a score of houses in this village today, indicating where the full force of the blow following Saturday night's panic in the Canonsburg opera house had been felt. For the most part they were white ribbons, showing that the majority of the victims of the fire and panic were children. The bodies had been taken from the improvised mortuaries to their homes and preparations were made for the funerals, many of which will be held today. Hearses were called into action and 26 caskets arrived from Pittsburg. It was rumored early in the day that an arrest would be made by Coroner James Heffernan, but the name of the person under suspicion as causing the panic was not made public. Deputy Factory Inspector James R. Patterson today began the investigation ordered by the state department. The coroner's inquest will be held Thursday or Friday next. Persons acquainted with the situation declare it had been known for some time the opera house was unfit for public exhibitions. Mrs. Minnie Lemon of Lawrenceville, Ill., who was visiting in Canonsburg and went with her friends to the moving picture show, is slowly recovering her reason at the Canonsburg hospital, where she was taken after the panic. She was caught in the rush to the stairway, but was uninjured. It is now believed her mind will be fully restored. Of the injured, Mrs. Wilmer Lane, who was taken from the bottom of the pile of dead in the doorway after her children had been killed, will also recover. Canonsburg will be in mourning for days to come. All public and social functions have been abandoned, a number of ## Column 5 dances and church festivals arranged for this week having been postponed. Even the baseball games in the church league have been cancelled for the season. Today many persons are relating their experiences and giving detail of narrow escapes when the maddened crowd dashed for the stairway. One of the most thrilling is told by Nellie Gibbs, 16 years age [sic]. When taken from the pile at the door she was clinging to the lifeless form of her baby sister. At the first alarm the older girl caught the child by the hand. In the rush for the steps the little one stumbled and fell. Nellie stopped to pick her up. The moment's delay was fatal and both were swept to the bottom. Crushed under the heavy mass of humanity, the girl held tightly to her sister, feeling all the while that she was dying, and not knowing how soon her own end would come. She said she prayed all the time and finally lost consciousness. Bradley Williams was caught in the crush and thrown down the steps. He alighted on top of a foreigner, who begged piteously for Williams to release him, Williams was unable to help himself. The foreigner, frantic from fright and pain, and powerless to enforce his demands with his fists, seized Williams' arm with his teeth and tore the flesh badly. Burgess Dunlap said today that some action would be taken at a meeting of the town council to be held next week toward preventing such panics in the future. An ordinance will be enacted regarding fire escapes, passages and entrances to all places where the public gather. After carefully examining the opera house, Deputy Fire Inspector James N. Paterson announced this afternoon that the owner of the building and the manager of the theater had not violated the law in any way. The fire escapes were found in perfect condition and the stairway where the victims met their fate was wide enough for all demands of the law, he said. A countrywide search is being instituted for two Italians who were sitting in the gallery and whose cry of fire is alleged to have caused the disaster. Manager Ferguson has offered a reward of $500 for their apprehension. ### BENEFIT CARD PARTY For Mrs. Hannah Harrington at Carter's hall, South Butte, this (Monday) evening, August 28. ## Column 6 # WEE GIRL LOSES SIGHT OF AN EYE ## Stone Thrown by Boy Hits a Girl—So Lad Faces a Serious Charge. Henry Hayes, the youngest son of Ik[e] Hayes, the colored prize fighter, is facing a very serious charge, according t[o] Deputy County Attorney George Toole, who states that he has evidence to show that young Hayes threw a rock, whic[h] unfortunately struck Esther Reardon in the left eye, destroying her sight. The accident occurred about 8 o'cloc[k] last Wednesday evening, and the littl[e] girl, who is the daughter of Jack Reardon, the well-known local plumber, residing at 213 West Mercury street, has suffered greatly since the accident. Th[e] attending physician stated that the injury is a severe one, and that he doe[s] not think there is a chance for the littl[e] girl to ever recover her sight. At the time she was struck by the roc[k] Esther Reardon was near the St. James' hospital, in company with Edith and Mercedes Breslin, and none of the girls annoyed or teased the negro, whose assault is alleged to have been unprovoked. Last Friday Hayes appeared before Judge Donlan on juvenile day, but the authorities were not familiar with the facts at that time, and his hearing was continued until next Friday. The little Reardon girl did not know who threw the rock which blinded her, but the Breslin girls state positively that Henry Hayes hurled the missile which has done so much damage. ### ACCUSED OF STEALING. E. E. Chamberlain of Clinton, Me., boldly accused Bucklen's Arnica Salve of stealing—the sting from burns or scalds—the pain from sores of all kinds—the distress from boils or piles. "It robs cuts, corns, bruises, sprains and injuries of their terror," he says. "As a healing remedy its equal don't exist." Only 25c at Newbro Drug company.
