Last night's meeting of the Harrison Parent-Teachers' circle probably made a record for organizations of this character in Butte, more than 200 adults attending, in addition to a large number of pupils, who had a special session, separate from the adult audience. In addition to the usual entertainment numbers by the Harrison pupils, a most pleasing feature of the extended program was the music furnished by the East Butte Croatian tamburica orchestra, "Zvonimir," an amateur organization recently formed among the Croatian residents of the Harrison district. The tambur is the native stringed instrument of the Croatian people, resembling both the guitar and the mandolin, having four strings, and ranging in size from a diminutive affair about half the size of the smallest mandolin to a bass, larger than the largest bass viol. The East Butte players rendered more than a dozen numbers, which were enthusiastically applauded by the cosmopolitan audience of parents and friends in attendance. The members of the orchestra are John Babich, leader; Victor Lash, Tony Krizmanich, Matt Bernardich, Frank Urbanach, Tony Jovich, Joe Balich, Paul Sokolich, Joe Mihelich, Nick Popovich, Frank Zuboish. The students' part of the program included a song by the second grade of the Harrison school, led by Doris Corneliuson; a song by the third grade, "Pussy Willow;" recitation, Sunny Nordstrom; song, Ray McManamon and Paul Regan; song, Matilda Weaver, and Jessie McMillan, and a demonstration of "first aid" work by pupils of the school. After the more or less formal portion of the program, there were impromptu addresses by parents, members of the circle and visitors, after which the ladies of the organization served refreshments. The attendance of so many parents at a meeting of a school, which enrolls but 150 pupils, was particularly gratifying to the school authorities. # WESTERN PIONEER IS IN HIS FINAL REST ## Death Comes for William Harkins, Until Recently of Walla Walla, Wash. William Harkness, a pioneer of the west and who in 1865 drove pack horses across the trackless plains and through mountain passes, died here yesterday at the age of 79. He came here a week ago from Walla Walle [sic], Wash., to visit his son, Ray Harkness, a well-known singer. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at the Duggan undertaking establishment. Besides his son Ray, he also leaves two sons, William and Jesse and two daughters, Mary and Margaret. # TAXI AND MOTORCYCLE JUST MISS A TRAGEDY A narrow escape from death was reported last night, following the collision of a taxi, driven by George Glenn, and a sidecar motor cycle driven by a man whose name was not obtainable. A woman holding two babies was in the sidecar of the motor cycle. Glenn, it is understood, was coming up Utah avenue in an effort to get to the B., A. & P. depot, and endeavored to pass a street car bound northward. It was stated he passed the car and was swinging around in front of it, to turn into a position in front of the depot, when the collision with the motor cycle occurred. The occupants were thrown to the ground, but escaped serious injury, it was said. ### MEETS PAINFUL ACCIDENT. Mrs. W. E. Hudson, wife of W. E. Hudson, who conducts a restaurant at 326 South Main street, sustained a painful accident yesterday. While in company with her husband, she was inspecting prospective new quarters and fell over a ladder, breaking her arm at the elbow. Mr. and Mrs. Hudson are well known in Butte.

Courtney, Well Known in Mining City, Passes Away After Illness of Six Weeks. D. C. Courtney, who since 1880, with the exception of five years when he was in business in Portland, Ore., had been a resident of this city, died at an early hour yesterday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. J. McMahon, 216 South Jackson street, after an illness of about six weeks. The funeral will be held Monday morning. Mr. Courtney was 64 years of age and was born in Forestville, Pa. In 1880, following his marriage in Williamstown, Pa., to Miss Eliza Staples, the family moved to Butte, and eventually, with his brother, the late Senator T. F. Courtney, Daniel Courtney entered the grocery business at 308 and 310 North Main street, and the store was known as the "White Front." Later the business was moved to West Park street. About five years ago Mr. Courtney, with his family, moved to Portland. At the beginning of the present year, because of his wife's health, Mr. Courtney returned with his family to Butte. It was only shortly after his recent arrival in Butte that Mr. Courtney's health began to be affected. ### Prominently Known. Mr. Courtney was one of the best-known of the surviving pioneers of Butte and had a large circle of friends here. He was a pleasant companion and possessed of a most genial disposition, while in all ways he was a model citizen. He is survived by many relatives, including his widow, the others being four children, Francis and Leonard Courtney and Mrs. W. J. McMahon and Mrs. R. J. Edwards, all in Butte; a brother, Daniel Courtney, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; two sisters, Mr. John Day of Spokane and Mrs. P. J. Whitty, wife of the police judge, of Butte; four nephews, Tom Courtney and Francis Courtney, of Missoula; six nieces, Mrs. Bernard Noon, Mrs. H. L. Shannon and Miss Retta Courtney of Butte, Mrs. Arthur La Chappelle of Los Angeles and Mrs. Larry Daly and Miss Margaret Courtney of Missoula. Mr. Courtney was a member of the Butte aerie of Eagles. # MANY ATTEND FUNERAL OF LATE THOS. KEALEY ## Prominent Member of A. O. H. Is Laid at Rest With Impressive Ceremonies. The funeral of Thomas Kealey, for years a prominent member of the A. O. H., and a well-known and highly esteemed citizen of Butte, was attended yesterday morning at St. Patrick's church by many sorrowing friends, of whom many were members of the organization in which Mr. Kealey always had taken such an interest. Requiem high mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Collopy, while appropriate music was rendered by the choir. At the grave services were conducted by Rev. Father George Lambertus. The pallbearers were: James Cummins, state president of the A. O. H.; James J. Murphy, county president of the order; John J. Crowley, president of Division No. 1, A. O. H., of Butte, and James Connolly, Martin Joyce and Patrick Goggins. # WELL-KNOWN MINER IS DEAD AT HIS HOME HERE Phillip Lynch, a well-known miner, who had been in the state for 22 years, died yesterday at the age of 42 years. He was born in Ireland, but is survived by many relatives in Butte. Besides his wife and two step-daughters residing in Butte, Mrs. O. C. Bye and Miss Marie Feron, there are two borthers [sic], Michael and Owen Lynch and one sister, Mrs. Rose Mullins, in this city; one sister, Mrs. Patrick Biggins of New York and his parents in Ireland. Arrangements for the funeral has not been completed. # NO. 13 BRINGS JOY TO A BUTTE HOME ## Bakers Dozen of Sturdy Children Now at Residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Harrington. No one can convince J. J. Harrington, 801 West Galena, that 13 is an unlucky number, for yesterday a vigorous 10-pound boy arrived at the Harrington home, making the thirteenth child in the family, all of whom are yet congregated at the family hearth. The youngest may be named "Teddy," as many friends have suggested, but there is opposition to this, as many friends believe the good old name, Harrington, does not signify republicanism, even in a progressive form. The happy father, who is secretary of the Pilot-Butte and Tuolumne mining companies, was at one time elected city clerk of Butte on the democratic ticket and he is more inclined to name the latest arrival "Woodrow." A brother-in-law of Mr. Harrington's, Clerk of the Court J. J. Foley, says that the family has given up the hope of all of the seven boys being presidents and that if his advice is heeded the last born will not be named either Teddy or Woodrow, as there is too much grief in politics. At any rate the Harrington home is gladdened by the arrival of the youngster and the many friends of the family in Butte are extending enthusiastic felicitations. Are you going to build?

Melzner has petitioned in the district court for permission to compromise the case of A. B. Melzner as administer [sic] of the estate of Albert Page against the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway for $2,000. Page was killed by a Milwaukee train on Nov. 15, 1915. Attorney Melzner was appointed administrator and he brought suit for $47,515 as damages. The jury awarded him a verdict of $20,000 but this was deemed excessive by the supreme court, which ordered a new trial. Rather than to have the case tried again, Attorney Melzner agreed to accept $2,000 and he has petitioned the court for permission to do so, stating that this is probably the highest amount which he would be able to recover. # Butte in Brief Mrs. J.

W. Howell in Hurry to Get to Helena Pays $10 Fine for Exceeding Speed Limit. With his attorney, Jack Ward, acting in the role of complaining witness, H. W. Howell, a well-known automobile agent, was fined $10 on a charge of exceeding the speed limit in his gasoline buggy by Justice of the Peace John Doran, acting in the absence of Police Judge Whitty in the municipal court yesterday. Mr. Howell had made arrangements to go to Helena on important business. He therefore had instructed his attorney to enter a plea of guilty for him, and as the arresting officer, who works the late shift, was not in court, Attorney Ward signed the necessary papers as complaining witness. Howell paid the fine. ### Thirty Days. Bertha Bates was yesterday given a sentence of 30 days in jail on conviction on a charge of vagrancy. Justice Doran will preside in police court every morning until Tuesday, owing to the death of D. C. Courtney, a relative of Judge Whitty. # SCARES SALOON PATRONS BY DISPLAY OF WEAPONS Joe Connolly was arrested last night on a technical charge of carrying a weapon, which turned out to be not only one but two, a revolver of small size and pattern and a "billy." He was arrested on a call from the Moonlight saloon on East Broadway, sent into police headquarters, and it was stated there he had been flourishing his "gun" and "bludgeon" and creating sufficient disturbance to spoil business. He fled, but ran into the arms of the officers, who took him to jail. He had left his "billy" behind, but still had his diminutive revolver. He claimed that he didn't intend to be "ganged" by anybody and hence his display of weapons. # IS GOING TO FIGHT AGAINST EXTRADITION Miss Emma Ashton is going to battle against extradition on a charge of theft of a pin, said to contain some more or less valuable jewels, belonging to a woman in Pocatello, from whom she was alleged to have been endeavoring to secure an order for a shirtwaist. Miss Ashton says she sells women's wearing apparel, and, in a hurry to catch a train after fitting a customer, must have swept the pin into her traveling bag. She was arrested by the police here on telegraphic information and denies that she made any attempt to steal the pin. Are you going to build? See last page Monday Miner.

[end of boxed advertisement] # HE CROSSES IN FRONT OF CAR AND IS HURT Frank White, 437 Ohio street, tried to cross in front of a street car on West Park street early last evening, and was injured. He was taken to the hospital in an unconscious condition and at an early hour this morning had not regained consciousness. It was stated his skull was fractured. As far as could be learned by witnesses, including the motorman, S. L. Stanbury, White, who is about 24 years of age, started to run across the street, hesitated and started again, only to be struck by the car, which had just left Main and Park streets at its normal rate of speed, not fast at this point, opposite the store of the Brownfield-Canty company. It was said, by those who claimed to have witnessed the accident, that had he refrained from trying a second time to cross the street, the accident would not have occurred. ### JOHNS RELEASED. Tally Johns, who has been in jail about a week for failure to obey the court's order in paying his wife alimony, was released yesterday by virtue of a stipulation which was filed.
