# UNIQUE CONCERT GIVEN IN BUTTE
## Members of New Croatian Orchestra Among Butte Amateurs Give Pleasing Entertainment.
Last night's meeting of the Harrison Parent-Teachers' circle probably made more new friends for the Croatian character in Butte, more than 100 adults attending, in addition to a large number of people, who had a special seat in boxes separate from the audience. In addition to the usual entertainment numbers, Mrs. Harrison [illegible] an excel-lent extended program was the music furnished by the new Butte Croatian tamburica orchestra, "Zuminka" an amateur organization recently formed among the Croatian residents of the Harrison district.
The tamburica, the national stringed instrument of the Croatian people, resembling both the guitar and the mandolin, having four strings, and varying in size from a diminutive affair resembling the mandolin or the mandolin to a bass larger than the largest guitar. The members of the orchestra rendered more than a dozen numbers, which was enthusiastically applauded by the cosmopolitan audience of more than 100 adults in attendance. The members of the orchestra are John Babich, leader; Victor Lasak, Tony Krivanec, Matt Bertakich, Frank Urbanach, Tony Jovich, Joe Babich, Paul Babich, Joe Mitchelich, Nick Popovich, Frank Zuboich.
The students' part of the program was carried out ably by the children of the Harrison school, led by Doris Cornelishen; a song by the fifth grade, "Pussy Willow" recitation, Manny Cornelishen; song, Nellie McMenamin; Paul Rogan, song, Martha Weaver, song; the work reflecting credit on the character of the musical instruction of the school.
After the more or less formal program, there were impromptu addresses by parents, members of the orchestra and others, in which the ladies of the organization were refreshingly frank. Reference of so many parents at a meeting of this kind gave evidence of a spirit that was particularly gratifying to the meeting as a whole.

## TAXI AND MOTORCYCLE JUST MISS A TRAGEDY
A narrow escape from death was reported last evening, when a child escaped serious injury following a collision, and a motor cycle driven by Ray Glenn, and a taxicab came within haultable. A woman holding two babies was in the sidecar of the motor cycle. Glenn, it is understood, was coming up Main street in a motorcycle direction when the taxi-cab driver endeavored to pass a street car found undesired. It was started up beside the car and was swinging around in front of it, in an effort to reach the curb ahead, when the collision with the motor cycle occurred. The woman holding the two babies fell but escaped serious injury, it was said.
### MEETS PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Mrs. Nicholas Sadore, wife of Chris Sadore, who conducts a restaurant at 8 South Main street, while bringing articles from the store to her apartment in company with her husband, she was reporting upon from the street and fell over a ladder, breaking her arm in a painful fall.

## NO. 13 BRINGS JOY
### Bakers Dozen of Sturdy Children Now at Residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Harrington.
No one can convince J. J. Harrington of West Galena, that 13 is so unlucky a number, because the 13th child in his family arrived at the Harrington home making a perfect bakers' dozen of the youngsters. The youngest may be named Thomas, on election suggestion. There is opposition to this, as many wish his name should be along the democratic ticket and he is more inclined to be of a more independent spirit. A brother-in-law of Mr. Harrington's, Clerk of the Court J. A. Sullivan, remarks that several of the Harrington family have been living presidents and that if the fortunes of the 13th born child should be named either Teddy or Woodrow, as occasion would have it. Every one who knew the Harrington home is gladdened by the story of his 13 children, and many friends of the family in Butte are exited.

# WANTED $47,515 BUT $2,000
## Attorney Asks Leave to Compromise for Much Less Than the Verdict.
Attorney A. B. Molner has petitioned in the district court for permission to compromise the case of A. B. Molner as guardian of his minor in the action against the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway for $2,000. Page was killed by a Milwaukee train on Nov. 18, 1913. Attorney Molner was retained as administrator and he brought suit for $47,515 as damages. The jury awarded him a verdict of $28,000 but this was deemed worthy of reduction. Attorney Molner thinks it is better to compromise than to have the case tried again. Attorney Molner has petitioned the court for permission to do so, stating that this is probably the highest amount which he might be able to recover.

### H. 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.

He was arrested on a car from the Moon-light saloon on East Broadway, amid at the local billiard parlors. When arrested he had in possession a "billy" revolver and "bludgeon" and created some excitement about the billiard business. He fled, but ran into the arms of the officer who was waiting to jail. He had left his "billy" behind but still had his discussions as to filing with the officer how he started to be ganged by anybody and to pay up the bills.
