The Butte Miner, 1883-06-17, p.4

# The Butte Daily Miner. ## Local News. Several picnic parties are on the tapis. Montana is having more rain this spring than in many previous years. Yesterday was the warmest of the season, but no thermometer was reported. The Salt Lake Tribune credits Montana with 78 visitors to the Territorial musical festival. Peter Walker, who is well known hereabouts, was shot at by two desperados by poison at Kingham, Idaho, some days since. Max Muir has closed out his furniture business on West Park street, and will open a general merchandise store in the new town of Copperopolis. A violent storm prevailed last night between Butte and Glenwood, which prostrated the wires and cut us off from our usual telegraphic news report. James Wilson's building on West Park street has been lowered in the grade and is being converted into store rooms, with glass and show case fronts. A fine hotel and eating house has been provided Pullman & Vallion for accommodation of passengers over the Oregon Short Line, the Utah & Northern railroads. The fair grounds Finance committee will call on the patriotic citizens of Butte next week to receive their contributions to the fund for defraying the expenses of the celebration. The Saddle Rock restaurant is a thing of the past. Peter Knecht made the entire establishment on four figures last night and this morning started for Copperopolis, where he will open a house under the same restaurant under the same name. The Biddeford brick building, which is being worked under a lease by McNulty and others, is proving a first class producer. One hundred and ninety tons of ore averaging over 100 ounces silver to the ton were shipped last week. R. J. Ryan seemed to know more about the pedigree of the witness last Friday than the law allows. The superiority recognized, and Miles French decided that about five people would nullify further names against the use of offensive weapons. The Moulton continues to improve with the warm weather. Ore from the 300 south-west drift in now drawn 40 feet, and the high grade pick ore continues in similar condition. An immense body of high grade was also struck last week in the north-east on a ledge five feet in width being untouched. One of the pleasantest Sunday places in the vicinity of Butte is Bogy's City Park. Messrs. Creek well & Henry are hotel proprietors and bakers, and they make it pleasant for all who come to the resort. The recent rain followed by the warm weather has greatly improved the foliage, making the Park more attractive than ever. Our special dispatch from Haley last evening proved to be the previous telegram, referred to in yesterday's Miner, and represents the only statement that Harknett, Lobb and Warfield were there, and that the telegram stated that their whereabouts was known about and they are expected to be captured on the following. Later advices prove this correct. The bullion shipments through the office of the Pacific Express Company during the past week amounted to $161,000, which embraces, gold bars, $33,000; Lexington, $14,000; Latable, $1,000; silver bars shipped by Colorado, $2,000; Boston and Montana, $3,105; First National Bank, $3,000; Lexington, $14,500; and the Hope Mining company, [illegible], $40,000. The funeral obsequies of Samuel Sherwood, a late member of the Masonic order and the Miners' Union, yesterday, were beautiful and imposing. The finest floral decorations perhaps ever seen in Butte, there being many fine baskets and pots of spraying flowers, festooned. After the solemn rites of the Masonic order had been observed at the temple, the body was conveyed to the cemetery by the Masons and Miners' Union, where they were tenderly laid to rest. James Mackleny, who did some reckless shooting in Ring & Lowry's saloon, was arraigned on criminal counts in the district court yesterday, and fined forty dollars. His particular friends have rallied around him, and the judge admonished as to his bad sobriety and correct habits upon his future conduct, and directed him to pay his fine and costs. He is now a changed man, and recognizing it as a moment of passion, his been corrected and he returns to his occupation with a manful determination to overcome that spirit and restore the character he has lost through his unfortunate mistake. A vigilant raid of draft horses was made from the livery stables of Tarbell last Friday night. The horses were tracked to the road leading toward Elk Park, and two men who had taken them were traced. Officers came upon the horses about three miles beyond the forks; the two thieves were not in sight, and the recovery was complete. During the night the sheriff of this county fell asleep, and in the sight the guard fell asleep, and a third man slipped in and robbed the tills of the jail and made his escape, the jail having been found in the morning long close. Sheriff Davis received a telegram from Dillon offering the holiday was on a hot trail, with every prospect of ultimate capture of the criminals. --- ## CAPTURED CROOKS. ### Six-Shooter Jack 'Dine' in His Boots—Whereabouts of Harness Unknown. *Special Dispatch to the Miner.* HAILEY, I. T., June 15. John T. Lobb, alias "Six-Shooter Jack," recently of Butte, was killed at Grays Creek, sixty miles from Hailey, on the Boise City road, at four o'clock yesterday morning, by a Sheriff's posse from this city, led by deputy sheriff R. C. Cunningham and H. G. Vallion, of Butte. The posse found him Thursday morning and came up with the outlaws that night. They shadowed the gang during the night, and on approaching morning, surprised them while in bed. There were at a man in the outlaw party armed with six revolvers and two rifles. After an eight minutes fight in submission. All of the men submitted to the surrender except Lobb, who when ordered to throw up his hands, fired at his capturers with both hands. Knowing his reputation was as a quick man as quick with his gun, the pose fired a volley at him before he had time to shoot. He was riddled with bullets and died in a few minutes. Henry A. Vallion's team was captured. The other horses that were ridden by Lobb were stolen by four unknown men who were in the party. There being no charges against them, they were permitted to continue on their way. Thus Harknett escaped, and his whereabouts have not been divulged. Charley Warfield was brought to Butte and is now in the Hailey jail. He will be taken to Butte soon to await extradition papers from the Governor of Montana, which has already been forwarded. Lobb was well known here and everybody called him "Dine." He met a fate which seemed to be the inevitable termination of the reckless life he has led. FROTHY. ### SIX-SHOOTER JACK. ### Scarcely Warrants His Reputation as a Desperado. John T. Lobb, who has for several years put borne the above sophistic ated cognomen, is the man who met the death of an outlaw, at the hands of a Sheriff's posse, led by Hank Vallion, at Grays Creek, Idaho, last Friday morning. To those who knew him, the manner of his death is a surprise; in our special dispatch from Hailey we sought to fairly give the character of the man. He gloried in the reputation as a dangerous man, and was accredited with being responsible for the death of two men, of which he habitually wore two of those weapons, and used them when stepped upon his person. He came to Butte about two years ago, and it is said he had killed his man. Perhaps this gave him a name as a desperate man and it was difficult to find the truth of it as to his methods, with the affability of manner that he treated all comers, and a matter of fact there seems to be no particular act in his past life to warrant the reputation he bore, as he was not implicated that we can find in any difficulty except one in 1879, when he killed a man in the alley by the Silver Bow Brewery, under circumstances that was thought to have justified the act. He was, however, convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. He was pardoned out of the penitentiary by Governor Potts after serving [illegible] of his time. At the time he left this city three weeks ago he was charged with the suspicion of carrying concealed weapons. How many thought would result in acquittal, as his reputation as a revolver was writ too openly in his favor for any jury to convict for weapons. --- ## The Pavilion. A fair was witnessed; the two hours' go-as-you-please race on rollers yesterday was fine sport. The contestants were Messrs. Hettinger, Allmor, Turner and Atkinson. Crabbe was the favorite at the start, but Hettinger came from the rear. Hettinger took the lead from the start and was never successfully taken by either of the others. After Allmor turned the track twice, he broke a roller in one of his skates and fell. After repairing and taking the roller and being urged to continue, he again joined in the race. Atkinson won the $5 prize contested between them. The [illegible] was gaining two miles on Hettinger finally turned aside with $5 miles, and a prize of $4. Hettinger who continued till time was called, making himself the winner and earning the race and money. --- ### It is a Murder. It has generally been supposed that Under Sheriff Bodley, who has been ailing very seriously for the past two weeks, had joined Hank Vallion and the sheriff in search of Lobb and Warfield, but it now transpires that it was another Charles Cooke, who killed a man at the Miner hotel about ten days ago as he passed through Butte some three weeks ago. He was trailed up for nearly two thousand miles through different towns, when he captured his man and turned him over to proper authority. During the night the guard fell asleep, and a third man slipped in and robbed the tills of the jail and made his escape, the jail having been found in the morning long close. Sheriff Davis received a telegram from Dillon offering the holiday was on a hot trail, with every prospect of the criminals. --- ## THE PARNELL MEETING. ### A Large and Enthusiastic Gathering of Patriotic Irish Citizens. ### Organization of a Branch of the Irish National League of America. ### Resolutions of Sympathy With Charles Stewart Parnell. The Miner Opera House was well filled last night with an enthusiastic assemblage of patriotic Irish citizens of Butte for the purpose of expressing their sympathy with the efforts now being made for the liberation of the Irish nation from the thralldom of their brothers in the mother country, and for the purpose of banding the Irish National League to co-operate with the great national movement at the convention recently held in Philadelpia. John Maguire was elected Chairman of the meeting, and John H. Curtis was appointed Secretary. Upon taking the chair Mr. Maguire addressed the meeting at some length in the Gaelic Irish tongue. James A. Murray, from the committee appointed to draft resolutions addressed the meeting and read the following: The Committee on Resolutions report as follows: WHEREAS—We, your Committee on Resolutions, respectfully submit the following, and recommend their adoption. Pope Leo XIII, in the Encyclical written by his Holiness to the people in the present crisis, substantially declared his sympathy with those who starve, mourn and exterminate the Irish, and while admonishing the world to yield obedience to his sovereignty, it is accepted to every body of Pope Leo XIII, we emphatically repudiate his claim to exercise jurisdiction in temporal affairs, we while we vindicate the solemn and natural rights of Ireland as a nation and country. Resolved, That we approve of the course pursued by Charles Stewart Parnell and Michael Davitt in their heroic and noble struggle and we offer faith, support and sympathy; now that the question is being agitated in the British House of Parliament and the Irish people. Resolved, That a secretary of the meeting be instructed to furnish the Associated Press a copy of the proceedings and actions of this meeting. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. An organization was then effected to be known as the Butte Branch of the Irish National League, the following permanent officers were elected: James Maguire, President; John Sullivan, Vice President; Jan H. Curtis, Car. Secretary; James H. [illegible], Treasurer; James A. Murray, Treasurer; James A. Murray, Rec. Secretary, and James O. McGuire, trustee. A resolution was adopted fixing the initiation fee at $1 and the monthly dues at 50 cents. Thirty members were enrolled on the night, and $67 was raised for the Parnell testimonial fund. A resolution was passed providing for holding meetings of the Butte branch every Sunday evening at 7:30 p. m. that the subscription list should be kept open after the until June 25th, and tendering a vote of thanks to the Columbian association for free use of Banshee's Opera House for the purpose of the meeting, which adjourned until 7:30 p. m. on Sunday June 24th. --- ## The July Races. ### Some of the Flyers Which Will Compete for the Various Purses. Every indication points to the races of the fourth of July being one of the most successful turf event which has occurred in Butte for years. A large number of flyers have been entered. The nominations for the tracking at the track are the following: E.S. King has two trotters, including Jack King & Lowry and the bay horse. Jack Rowan has a two year old horse in it, and a two year old Turner colt. H. Kirkendalls' well known gray horse is in. N.B. Speader, Charles A. Williams, et aliis have entered several entries. John Doe, the well known proprietor of Deer Lodge, brought up the following nominations. --- ## TERRITORIAL NEWS. *Culled From the Columns of Our Exchanges.* Snow fell to the depth of two inches at Barker last Tuesday. There are now thirteen prisoners in the Helena jail waiting trial. Ten boats have unloaded at Fort Benton since the ice cleared. A stock company has been formed in Helena to build a $10,000 rink. A new encampment of I. O. O. F. has been organized at Missoula Mills. A Sunday school excursion down the Northern Pacific is just now the most popular move in Helena. The summer hotel in the Yellowstone National Park will be ready for visitors about the first of the coming July. The wool clip of Beaverhead county last year was about 600,000 pounds, and this year it is expected to be at least 800,000. The Mountain Crow Indians will soon reside in the Big Horn valley, to which place their agency is to be moved. The Choteau County Commissioners have voted to issue bonds for an extensive site for the building of a $20,000 court house, and to act $1,500. The New York Mining and Scientific Press publishes a map in a recent edition of that periodical devoted to the Montana mining interests. The ten year old daughter of A. J. Spriggle, of Gallatin county, died last week from the effects of poisonous herbs which she had eaten on the previous Friday as greens. Many pay streaks being taken from the site of the Montana National bank in Helena, but the ground under the bank is said to be very rich, and as much as $40 to the wagon load will clean up handsomely. The railroad company is trying to induce the people of Helena to move their new town to Deer Lodge county. The Helena people are likely to encounter the legislature very much in behalf of that issue, since an office has or there has been in Deer Lodge county in Meagher county and is liable to be taken to whatever town suits the railroad. A letter from Cooke City in the southwest end of the Yellowstone are at this time about seventy-five men at work in the Cooke City mines. The buildings will all be occupied by the citizens and the mining men as there are there at for the necessary cannot get up to the quantities there. --- ### Prewitt. D. N. Dellinger returned from California last night, looking hale and hearty. Miss Lizzie Roberts, of this city, is visiting in Salt Lake City, the guest of the Conner family. W. A. Clark arrived in New York from Europe on the 15th inst. He is expected in Butte about the 20th. Dr. Penrose, principal of the Butte public schools, has taken his family to spend the summer in the east near Chicago. Jim Wallace, one of the Continentals oil men, is visiting Salt Lake, and it is reported he will pay double turn on his return trip. D. L. Beck, the enterprising travelling salesman, for E. W. Fox & Co., returned to the city last night after a successful ten days' trip through central and eastern Montana. --- ### Stout Fox. Considerable excitement has been raised in Salt Lake City from recent reports of small pox being prevalent to the public. The most eminent faculty among the physicians yesterday failed to find the characteristic marks of small-pox, Dr. Brigham being treated in an hospital as though he had the disease; also a case of varioloid from which a man died. Fifteen patients are now being treated on the same causes, the Utah Board of Health is now agitated by the discovery of a transient sojourner in the city of Salt Lake as having died of it while being a passenger on the Utah & Northern en route from about the same time. --- ## The Churches.
