# VERY MUCH ALIVE IS W. E. COMAN *A REPORT FROM SHERIDAN THAT HE IS DEAD IS UNFOUNDED.* ## CASE OF TOO MUCH COMAN Butte linotype operator receives request to arrange for his burial, but he declines and extends the greetings of the season. Sheridan, Wyo., Jan. 8.—W. E. Coman, who died here after being ejected from a passenger train, was given a Masonic burial on instructions from Garfield Masonic lodge, No. 88, Chicago, of which he said he was a member. Today a letter was received from W. E. Coman of Butte, Mont., in which he says he is a member of Garfield Masonic lodge, No. 484, Chicago, but that he is not dead. W. E. Coman, a linotype operator in the Miner composing room, last night talked with Standard, explain­ing: "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." He was notified of his own death in a telegram re­ceived Christmas day. The officials of the Sheridan lodge communicated in Butte and wired: "Your brother, a linotype operator, died here and he was asked to arrange for his own burial, but he declined and wired back: "Very much alive. Merry Christmas." No explanation has been given of the funeral details, but the dead man was buried as the Butte Coman. "It is a case of two many Coman men," he said. He talked with the coman last night. "Really I am not able to give any more details than I have—the other party is dead. The men I know of with the name W. E. Coman," now Arthur E. Coman, a vice president of the General Electric company of Pittsfield, Mass., a few months ago he was general passenger agent of the Santa Fe road there, and there is another W. E. Coman in Chicago. None is my relative." Last summer Mr. Coman took a trip through Yellowstone Park, passed through Cody, Wyo., and there they were acquainted with a prominent man named Coman. He believes that the dead man carried a card with the name W. E. Coman assigned to him as funeral service for his Butte friend. The two men with the same name and initials had been in Butte together. From information gathered this summer, the Butte Coman heard that the dead Coman left Chicago in August. Coman is busy explaining that he is not dead and the lodge officials will collect no money from him, but he is very much alive as anxious to find out exactly who is dead. --- ## CROWING CONTEST TO BE HELD AT POULTRY EXHIBIT A unique feature to the poultry exhibition which opens this morning at the Arcade. A crowing contest will be one of the features which will be held this evening. The cock with the most lusty crow will be awarded a prize. As several hundred birds have already been entered there should be several champion crow fellers present when the contest opens. The show, which is un­der the direction of the Montana Poultry association, will run for three days. This will open up this morning. President W. A. Parish last evening announced that the directors of the city of Minneapolis decided that the sale and poultry on the Sabbath should remain open on the Sabbath, was all the filibuster. About 500 birds, representing nearly every blue-ribbon winner in every place had might, leading geese, ducks and other fowls. --- ## CELEBRATES RECOVERY AND BREAKS LEG AGAIN A few hours after being discharged as a well man, John Michaels, who had been a patient for weeks with a com­plicated fracture of the leg, was asked. Michaels of 318 Washoe street fell at 4 o'clock this morning and was carried back to the emergency hospital. He was celebrating his recovery by a party at his sister's home and made a slip of the pavement on the beat. "That is a good condition," sighed Michaels at the emergency hospital room, "I spend all of these weeks in the hospital trying to cure one leg, and I get a double fracture, and show me an­other thing is that a man in one place by falling four feet." Michaels was about the age of a miner at the Mountain Con. --- ## ENGINEER WITH A JINX IS DANGEROUSLY INJURED John Rouse, a painter engineer on the Northern Pacific railroad, believes he is a victim of a jinx. Last night he became the victim of an unusual accident, when a rock bounded down from an embankment and struck the engineer in the cab. He was examined and was sent to the hospital. Last summer Rouse stood by his engine at the scene of an electrical storm. A thunderstorm, when a bolt of lightning struck him and he was sent to the hospital. --- ## NOT ONE, BUT ALL.

He was discovered by the officer, who knew of his movements since leaving his cabin. He has been brought to Anaconda. He will be brought the aged prisoner in the county jail. Smith was one of the first prospectors in the Divide country. --- # JOINT INSTALLATION HELD BY HIBERNIANS *CENTERVILLE HALL SCENE OF ELABORATE CEREMONIES.* ## FOUR DIVISIONS TAKE PART James J.

Murphy, county president for the district, and Mrs. Margaret Riley, who installed the officers of the auxiliary lodges.

He showed that a development program had been pending on 3 of the 12 claims had been recently struck on other claims which adjoin the Mason Valley mine. The property is located near Yerikgton, Nevada, and organized in September, '07. The company is capitalized at 1,386,-000 shares at $1 per share, face value.

Astoria, Ore., Jan. 8.—Until the gale, which continued to rage all day with­out any apparent signs of cessation, moderates, no attempt will be made to remove from the Columbia river light­ship the Point Adams life-saving crew and two survivors of the tank steamer Rosecrans, which went ashore on Peacock spit yesterday. There was no hope today in the hope that the storm would abate suf­ficiently to take off the seven rain-marooned seamen, the tug Oneonta, which left this afternoon to search for Captain Wickland of the life-saving crew and learned the rescuers had gone to the rescue. The Oneonta was unable to get any information in communication with those on the lightship. She came back. Though the life-saving steamer Bitterness on the lightship, the improvement of all the sur­vivors had not been confirmed. Of the third other, she did not ascertain. **Doughty Life Saver's Duty.** Fred Pierce, one of the quartermas­ters, who was washed ashore in North Cove, said he saved part of his effects before leaving Illinois. He explained that there were eight bodies that have been recovered, which have been identified as belonging to the crew, but was able to recall the name of only one, George Nelson, one of the quartermasters. He said today there were eight men on one of the rafts in a sinking vessel and that they had been attempted to sail one, but it was decided by the life-saving crew that it would prove to be too hazardous to attempt the entrance of the treacherous bar crossing and ruin the man at the wheel, accordingly to a plan, a volunteer with head light for the light of the lightship flashed the signal off Cape Omaha, which was the last resort, steering to right, steered the vessel off her course, the distance gone. **Backbone of the Rosecrans.** The backbone of the Rosecrans was broken, so that the crew could not do but wait, according to the verdict of the life saving efforts were futile. The volunteers who received nearly their lashings before any of the crew was taken from the ship. These men waited bravely for the death which appeared inevitable. Captain Riner stood at his post in the pilot house and waded at seas, and the steamer suffered from the usual fate. He remained faithful with his commanding officer after several waves had swept the ship, carrying him overboard. He was washed back, suffering burned hands and knees, until it was washed over again and never seen. Peter Kroin, the injured life saver, was picked up Friday at the wreck at Fort Canby, and when a tug arrived, he was in the very brink of the wreck, in a state of unconscious. **Worst Ever.** Propping himself on his pillow at the hospital, a survivor of the crew, pulled on car through many a mass of twisted rigging and broken timbers in getting away from the treacherous sea. "Though the Rosecrans struck on Saturday morning at 1 o'clock, Theodore Rohrerger went to the top of the mast, where apparently she had discovered the stranded vessel. "That was her death," he said start­ed in over the bar on the wrong course. "I was about all in when I was pulled into the air-tight compartment to at­tempt to tell—I cannot explain what held him so far from shore. If there had been a larger sea, we had to conceal would have come in far enough to help. I know I was sliding along­side the tug, we'd see the rigging aboard of her and probably save ourselves. "The minute the vessel was reported by a signal station from Peacock Spit Cape Disappointment, on the top of that mountain high, Captain Riner of our life-saving station saw the light and drove for the line of breakers. After they crashed in the trough of the breakers we could distinguish the smashing ahead and could not tell any­thing as we would we could not read off her where we could, in a straight-boat, and I believe we could have gone as back as if we had been of cork. She came apart in the sea; what had assisted Captain Riner reluctantly give my own experience at our station. **You Could Eat.** "It was then about noon. Not a man on the deck. I know the [illegible] of fellows hanging on in the rigging was seen, and they had been back and down the beach waiting for the breakers to clear by. As we stayed longer, we went in a bunch to the [illegible] of the wreck, and tried again. "We pulled from the station and out of the life-saving tackle. When we got out to the combers again they turned on us as they had done before. With our little boat we were tossed up and then slid off a comber alongside the tug. I do not know when I reached out, if Captain Reed was washed aboard us it was just as serious. Captain Riner actually got hold himself, and nearly left the captain Reed with tears in his eyes to clear the line out of the way. We could not rid the ship under the condi­tions of the sea. When we reached the pier fellows I saw they had cut the bow­line, and then we reached the line of surf again. We were thrown into the sea, into the air-tight compartment to at­tempt to save some of the others. I charged the line, but we were beaten back. Then another sea did us what I feared for the life savers and the wreck and the boat open and out I went, my lungs nearly gone. I cannot put any effort out of commission from a jam against the engine house coming back. **Nearly All In.** "My knee was caught in the line and sucked down among the rollers. This was about forty minutes after, and filled with engine gas as I was I was about all in when I was pulled into the air-tight compartment to the Point Adams life-saving station, then we made another attempt to pull him, and the crew being exhausted. But we had reached the three men. I was so nearly done I barely managed to pull the line." --- # LORENZ MISSES PERFECT SCORE BY ONLY ONE POINT Due to lack of practice, the Butte sharpshooters, or, as they are officially known, the Rocky Mountain Rifle team, fell down badly in their shooting practice at their range in the basement of the Butte central bank building, although Lorenz made a score of 59 out of a possible 100. His point tallying well in comparison with the record he made a week ago when they shot against Kalispell. Last night the local eagle eyes shot for practice against another team, and they will shoot against Dickinson. The work of Lorenz last night was unusually satisfactory except that his last shot, which would have made the same score, it would have established a world's record. --- # CASCADES AGAIN IN STORM'S GRIP *(Continued from Page One.)* Oranges advanced 10 cents a box today on the Los Angeles wholesale market, due to injury from last night's freeze. Grape fruit, which also suffered heavily, advanced 25 cents a box, and lemons and early vegetables a box. Temperatures around 30 degrees were expected tonight in some parts of the valleys, but United States weather bureau advised growers that tomorrow morning would mark the close of the cold period in Southern California. According to an official statement by the California Citrus Protective league, which concluded today a careful inspection of all damage to citrus crops, the early estimate of loss have been materially increased. The storm is described as the worst known for two weeks. Later estimates declare that the loss is more than 30 per cent. of the fruit has been ruined, depending on weather conditions. **STILL COLD IN NEW MEXICO.** Albuquerque, N. M., Jan. 8.—A cold wave which set in Sunday still has the middle Rio Grande valley in its grip. Last night was the coldest on record here. Throughout the state great damage to citrus fruits has been done in 30 years. At Las Vegas, 20 below established a new record. When responding to an alarm early this morning, members of the department were frozen severely and taken to hospital. James Bowers, a teamster, and the driver of a fire automobile, were frozen. **GREAT NORTHERN GETTING BY.** Everett, Wash., Jan. 8.—Word was received here today from Superintendent W. F. Vantine that the Cascade mountain division probably would be open for through freight movement after a blockade of five days. Four rotary plows have been working constantly with the slides that blocked the line between Everett and Leavenworth, and the main track could be cleared away. **KANSAS GAS IS GOING.** Independence, Kas., Jan. 8.—With ranging from 8 to 20 degrees below zero, Independence suffered its worst winter day. A shortage of gas was general. Messages were sent to several natural gas companies, asking citizens to cease burning gas for 12 hours. The city experienced the lowest temperature, the service impaired in all directions. --- # ANACONDA DEFEATS RELIANCE AT HOCKEY *TEAM WORK OF THE VISITORS IS TOO MUCH FOR BUTTE.* ## GAME IS EXCEEDINGLY FAST In the best ice contest ever seen in Butte, the underrated Anaconda experts win from Reliance by a score of three to one. There might have been faster, more clever hockey games played this season than the Anaconda-Reliance contest last night, but it was not in this section of the country, and when the whistle sounded for the finish of play, the Anaconda speed boys had annexed another victory to their collection by a score of 3 to 1. Practically neither of both teams started at some time during the exciting battle, and the Anaconda men's victory may be summed up in two words—Team Work. The visiting team started every attack swiftly and used combination work to perfection, while the Butte team played a defensive game. Of the 40 minutes of actual playing time, Anaconda had the rubber 25 minutes and only the sort of work turned in by the Reliance goalkeeper prevented the final score from making the figure look much worse. Lorenz scored for the home team in the first period, although the Anaconda men had the best of the arguments during the first 10 minutes' play. During this period, after a scramble for a few minutes when the visitors started a rush, Lorenz captured the puck with a clean goal. A fast dash by Dixon, captain of the Anaconda squad, at the start of the second gave goal, and while the fast work of both Butler and Bowman scored for a cessation of play. **Several Severe Clashes.** Within a minute after play started in the second session Cloran, Bowman and Bullard lined up in the fast work, and there were several severe slash and play tricks. With his teammates spread out across the ice, Bowman made goal from a hard angle. Within a minute after play resumed Butler and Bowman worked the puck into the cage to give Anaconda a 3 to 1 advantage. Butte put on excess pressure and got the best of the argument after the third, but Butler and Bullick worked it out nicely, and McKee shot the only goal for the Reliance. During the last minutes of play in the second session, Slate and Kelly showed some desperate work. There were several clashes. McKee's goal was the only goal for the Reliance. As the teams are placed for the present season, Butte making a feeble showing, and in the match the work of both Clark and Butler were sent to the bench on fouls. There was a strenuous struggle after the rubber, and the manner in which both teams performed their parts with much speed and ginger is injected into a contest. **The Lineup.** | | | | | | |---|---|---|---|---| | | | | Won. | Lost.| |Anaconda | | | 4 | 0 | |Reliance | | | 1 | 3 | |Creston | | | 0 | 1 | |Butte | | | 0 | 2 | **Beginners' Hockey Game.** As a preliminary to the league hockey game, which was played Saturday and Sunday, two teams will play two 10-minute periods on the indoor ice in Butte. No one will be allowed professional hockey players, and if any one played hockey and neither team in Butte is called the Grizzly Bears, while the district or the opposing teams of seven, will start with a similar team, while the districts of the Terrors are to play against the Grizzlies. I had arranged for a dozen substitutes for the game and the managers do not know nothing of the many tricks of hockey which are played in these days. --- **INDOOR BASEBALL LEAGUE BEING ORGANIZED IN MISSOULA** Special Dispatch to the Standard. Missoula, Jan. 8.—A big meeting of the promoters of the Missoula City Indoor Baseball league was organized at the Commercial club last night, and in the vote of officers were elected to prepare the schedule of play, which will call for each team to play three games each week, the gymnasium at the State University being used. **STATE HOTEL ARRIVALS.** [List of hotel arrivals follows — illegible details] --- # RECALL PETITION IS CONSIDERED A JOKE *NO APPARENT REASON FOR SUCH ACTION IN MISSOULA.* ## MR. RHOADES IS SUSTAINED Mayor's colleagues on commission declare that if he is guilty of ex­travagance, they, too, are in the same boat—Petitions a joke. Special Dispatch to the Standard. Missoula, Jan. 8.—The petitions circulated for the purpose of the recall of Mayor Rhoades of this city have been circulated here since their circulation—since the recall of the petitions from the city. The petitions are considered a joke. Coming at a time when the council has been openly demanding from the mayor and has devised against his plan, a plan to further reduce the city's expenses, the petitions, placed in simultaneously with reports from the Standard that the commissioner of government of the city had been con­ferred with in large meetings, the petitioners have taken up their stand. The petitions seems to the Missoula people to be, in general, of no account. Commissioner Price said. "The petitions asking to recall Rhoades as to the responsibility of the whole commission system adopted so recently would be both [illegible] and economical. Both my department and Mayor Rhoades' department have been economical in spite of a great burden of business. If Mayor Rhoades of the government, that of the city, has been found extravagant, then my expenditures were made by me, as I recall it, and we're all equally responsible." --- # OCEANS ARE OWNED BY A COMBINATION *ALL STEAMSHIP TRADE PARCELED OUT, SAY WITNESSES.* ## NO INDEPENDENTS CAN LIVE Everything is pooled and when an opposition line is started "fighting boats" are put in to crush the opposition—Petitions a joke. Washington, Jan. 8.—Testimony about a "shipping combination that controlled the commerce of the seas with a stronger grasp than any combination which ever has existed in the trade between the states" was presented today to the house merchant marine committee. Shippers told of being at the mercy of freight rings. P. F. Douglass of the New York exporters' association, said British and American lines, the Hamburg South American and British lines existed, combinations in London that meeting simultaneously with reports in the principal trade routes of the world. A. D. Hitch, secretary and treasurer of the Pan-American Union, trading in New York, trading with Brazil declared: "The trust that controls the trade to South America was the Lloyd-Bre­men line." John C. Soager, former representative in Brazil, testified at length along the same lines that the "fighting boats" put in competition with other companies, and Price. Regarding their practices. [illegible] steamship companies answered: "It seems to me that any charge of extravagance against the great Brit­ish is a much to blame on all three of those great steamship lines—nothing of any importance has been made against the whole control of Britain." "Was it a pool?" Mr. Slager replied. "Yes, sir, it might be said." "I can only say that I regard myself as no more to blame than myself and my company, if any of these lines put on in a good record of economy in my line. I worked against a line that gave us an underbid line on economical in general, and the results of which is [illegible] --- ## DESPERATE WHITE SLAVER CAPTURED BY DETECTIVES Seattle, Wash., Jan. 8.—Joseph Miller, 25 years old, an alleged white slaver, was placed under arrest by city detectives and found him hiding in a secret room in the basement of a lodging house. Federal government agents have been seeking Miller for months and held a warrant charging them with being un­willing to take the woman from [illegible] to a state of immoral life. They had been for days, but were unable to find Miller. The detective Mrs. Coula Bacon, manager of the Stewart company following the arrest, and after arresting Mrs. Miller, made a thorough investigation of the entire house. The investigation one of the detectives saw a piece of floor move. Looking again he saw a well-concealed trap-door in the floor, where Miller was hiding. Miller admitted his identity.

Walton, Idaho, Jan. 8.—Testifying today in the suit of the Amalgamated Copper Company against the Ontario company, in which the Amalgamated company was seeking to set aside the grant, Bacon, manager of the Stewart company, came to the stand. During the examination, Bacon testified after that it was the wish of Mr. Heinze and his associates with them in connection with the Anaconda company—something touching on the value of some stock. Stewart's counsel also read in evidence a letter from Mr. [illegible]. "Then if the stock quotations is for the Ontario shares, whom do you or the insider accepts it?" asked Mr. Under­wood.
