WAS A BUTTE BOY
John Cunningham Asphyxiated
in a Chicago Hotel.
BODY HAS BEEN SHIPPED
And Will Arrive in the City Tonight—
The Boy,s Parents Reside
in Centerville
John Cunningham, a Butte boy who
had some local fame as a jockey, and who
is known to horsemen as "Mortimer"
Cunningham, was asphyxiated in a Chi
cago hotel Saturday, a brief mention of
the unfortunate occurrence having been
made in tiie Inter Mountain several days
ago.
The body has been shipped from Chi
cago and is now en route to this city for
interment. It is expected to arrive this
evening. The funeral will take place from
Sherman's undertaking rooms at 2 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon.
The dead boy's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Patrick Cunningham, reside at No. 112
i Mina street, Centerville. John Quinn, a
conductor on the Oregon Short Line rail
road, is a brother-in-law of the deceased.
Before going to Chicago the boy worked
for a time on the Bitter Root stock farm.
Very little is known concerning the cir
cumstances surrounding the death of
Cunningham. The Chicago Inter Ocean
of Sunday contained the following:
"Mortimer Cunningham, a stable hoy,
17 years old, and Sidney Bender, 40 years
old, also employed as a stable hand at
the Harlem race track, were asphyxiated
by gas yesterday morning in a room at
the New Era hotel, No. 12 Clark street.
Both were well known at the local race
tracks, and were employed by Lockhart
& Maley, horse owners, and also did work
for Jim Hand, an owner.
"At 12:30 o'clock Bender, accompanied
by the hoy, appeared at the hotel and ap
plied for a room. Clerk Lauberach says
he noticed they were intoxicated, and as
signed them to a room on the first floor.
He lighted the gas for them, and before
leaving cautioned them to turn it out be
fore retiring. At 10 o'clock a chamber
maid, in passing the room occupied by the
men, noticed a strong odor of escaping
gas. She informed Clerk Lauberach, who
went to the room and found Bender ly
ing on the floor and Mortimer Cunning
ham on the bed. Life, to all appearances,
was extinct in both, and the police were
notified.
"An investigation showed that Cun
ningham was dead, and his body was re
moved to the morgue. Bender still
breathed, and he was hurried to St.
Luke's hospital, where he died five min
utes after his arrival. The only means
of identification were badges of admis
sion to the Harlem race track, attached
to the lapels of their coats. The names
on the cards were "Lockhart" and "Ma
ley." Men employed by the horse own
er's were summoned to Rolston's under
taking rooms and identified both.
"When the room was entered it was
noticed that the gas was turned on full,
and to all appearances the light - had been
blown out. Mortimer Cunningham ap
peared at the local race tracks on dif
ferent occasions. He was well thought of
by his employers, and was promised a
chance to ride more often next season.
His home was in Montana. Bender lived
in San Francisco. An inquest will be held
tomorrow." "

A STRANGE PERVERSION.
Our proudest families trace their an
cestors back to the ancient Hollanders.
Our Knickerbockers are our mental,
moral and physical ornament. Yet,
whenever an American of high or low
birth wants to insult a German he calls
him a Dutchman! "Dutchman" is becom
ing opprobriously epilhetical. Dutch
courage means false or artificial courage.
A Dutch defense is a sham defense. A
Dutch auction is where the auctioneer
starts with a high price and comes down
until he meets with a bidder. A "Dutch
wife" is a rattan framework on which
the head of the house may rest his feet
and legs. "Dutch talent" is used by sail
ors to express contempt for the work
manship of a man who does things by
main strength and is stupid. A Dutch
bargain Is a bargain sealed by the par
ties drinking over it.—New York Press.
POUCE COURT
Pat Duffy, an individual of abnormal
Pugilistic inclinations, was before Judge
Sullivan this morning. About a week
ago Duffy was sentenced to five days in
jail for a combat in which his adversary
got the worst of it. After serving two
days, at the solicitation of friends, who
vouched for his good behavior, he was re
leased. Last night he hammered a man's
face into jelly and was arrested. He
pleaded not guilty to the charge of as
sault and will be tried Tuesday.
W. T. Baker, a paper hanger, who dis
agreed with a patron as to the tint of
some paper he wts engaged in hanging,
and whose disagreement resuUted in a
quarrel, pleaded not guilty to the charge
and will be tried Tuesday. •
A1 Kennedy created a disturbance in
O'Donnell's alley last night, indulging in
improper language, for which he was
fined $10 this morning.
Florence Sullivan and James Lundri
gan were fined $5 each for drunken
ness.
Hamilton Daywalt, a boy, and a youth
named Thomas Dwyer, who were abro-id
after the ringing of the curfew, were dis
missed witli lectures.
THE COURSING STAKES,
The champion stake arranged for next
Sunday at West Side park did not fill,
so it has been decided to make an ordi
nary stake for Sunday at $2.50 each,
open to any number. The draw for this
stake will take place Saturday night at
S o'clock. It seems there are not enough
champions whose owners want to buckle
up against one another. Nine entries
were received, but five of them were from
one kennel, which would not make a
very fair proposition.
For Sunday, the 27th, there will be a
stake for saplings and one for puppies.
Saplings whelped on and after August 1,
and puppies whelped on and after Feb
ruary 1, 1898, will be eligible.
LAST NIGHT'S RUNAWAY.
A team, hitched to a dray, which was
being loaded in front of the Butte hotel,
ran away about 7:30 o'clock last night.
It made a dash straight across the street,
colliding with the front of the Montana
Liquor company's building. An attempt
was made to stop the team, but one of
the horses managed to kick itself free
and dashed down the street, scattering
the crowd in every direction. One man
was run down, but was not hurt.
WANTED—A WORLD LANGUAGE.
In honor of the memory of Gottfried
Wilhelm Leibniz, its founder, the Berlin
Academy of Science held a special sitting
on Thursday, when a lecture was deliv
ered by Professor Diels on the problem
of a world language—a question in which
Leibniz himself was profoundly interest
ed, believing, with the lecturer, that the
lack of such a common medium of com
munication was a hindrance to the culti
vation of the sciences and to the progress
of civilization in general.
Professor Diels is a great friend of the
English language. After a reference to
the prevalence of the Assyrian, Greek
and Latin in ancient times, he pointed
out how in a more recent period Rich
elieu's efforts to make French the uni
versal tongue had come to naught, and
how, with the decline? of that language,
the sphere of influence of English had
gone on extending. Independently of the
immense political influence of North
America and of Great Britain and her
colonies on events in the world—inde
pendently even of the numerical prepon
derance of the English speaking peoples—
that tongue, by its very structure, ap
peared to the learned lecturer predestined
to be the world's language of the future.
It had thrown overboard the superfluous
ballast of declination and conjugation, it
had divested itself of gender, and, by fall
ing back upon roots, had become essen
tially the language of a governing peo
ple. It, moreover, united in itself two
main streams of culture—the Latin and
the German. The young Englishman
while at the breast imbibed at the same
time in his language the civilizing ele
ments of a thousand years, which to ac
quire cost other people money and labor
untold. The loss to mankind due to the
fact that scientific works produced among
minor but gifted peoples remained un
known beyond the narrow limits of a lit
tle spoken language, was incalculable.
Professor Diels had not much to say in
praise of Volapuek. It was, he said, so
poorly conceived that the vowel "ue," for
example, which had a very important
place in it, was unknown in two of the
chief European languages, and, in fact,
most Volapuekists could not pronounce
it. The manner in which it had been
welcomed could indeed only be explained
by the crying need for some such neutral
means of intercourse. The twentieth
century, which was knocking at our doors
would, declared the lecturer, be the cen
tury for international union. The states
were already meeting at The Hague to
agree upon guarantees of international
peace. In the autumn the Berlin Academy
would meet the most famous academies
of other lands at Wiesbaden to found an
interacademical association, and, at the
wish of other German academies, had
sent an Invitation to the venerably Royal
Society of London.—London News.

THE STATE NEWS
A petition is being circulated in Helena
and being quite generally signed by the
business men calling for an early closing
of business houses. If the petition re
ceives enough signatures and becomes
effective, the merchants will close their
places of business at 6 o'clock on all week
days excepting Saturday, when the old
rule of remaining open until 10 will of
course obtain. The merchants signing the
petition or agreement will see to it that
stores are closed all day Sunday.
Stock Inspectors and others connected
with the state board of stock commission
ers have been moved to exceptional ac
tivity recently in compelling the enforce
ment of the law requiring butchers to
make a full record of the mnrks and
brands of cattle slaughtered by them, and
to file the record with the county clerk
each month. The activity is not confined
to any one locality in the state, but is
general, and it is the Intention of those
authorities to see that the law is enforced
in every county.
During the early morning hours of the
13th inst., the residence of C. M. Goodell,
at Philbrook, Fergus county, was broken
into by burglars and robbed of $651 in
cash.. Mr. Goodell has a safe in his house
in which to keep his personal valuables
and government business of the Philbrook
postoffice, which is located at his place.
Some weeks ago Mr. Jellison, a neighbor
ing ranchman, deposited $640 in Mr.
Goodell's safe until lie could spare time
to go to Lewistown and put it in the
bank. The night of the robbery members
of the family were up around the house
until 2 o'clock.
The agricultural wealth of Montana
has been added to materially by the large
acquisition of land that will come from
the Crow Indian reservation by means
of the treaty just concluded with the
Crow Indians by the commissioners dele
gated to treat with them, a brief account
of which appeared in the press dispatches.
The treaty has been effected by O.
G. Hoyt and James H. McNeely, the com
missioners. and Indian Agent Edwards,
after a week's conference with the In
dians. The proceedings dragged along at
first, but after exercising patience with
the nation's wards success crowned the
efforts of the commissioners and the
treaty was a fact. The signatures of a
majority of the male adults on the reser
vation has been secured.
The Indians of the Fort Belknap res
ervation, it is thought, will within a few
years be self-supporting. The govern
ment is now building them an extensive
irrigation system that will bring a large
area under cultivation and provide homes
for all, and its wards are acquiring hab
its of industry by working on the con
struction of the improvements that will
some day be their own. It will take three
years to complete the work, but when it
is done it will be worth it. for then every
family who wants one will have a farm
of 22 acres of arable land with plenty of
water, in addition to the fine ranges of the
reserve, and it is thought that the gov
ernment will be able with safety to with
draw a considerable proportion of the
support it has given in the past. The In
dians will not need issues of rations when
they are able to earn their own way.
By September 1 the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone company expects to have a
line operating from Salt Lake to the
coast, says the Salt Lake Tribune. The
line to Dillon, Mont., will be completed by
that dale, and thus connection will be
made with the line from the coast now
being operated to Dillon. The new line
from Dubois, Idaho, to Ogden is practi
cally completed. Workmen are at pres
ent stringing two additional copper wires
between Ogden and Salt Lake, and as
soon as a gap in Montana is strung with
wire the line from Salt Lake to the coast
will be ready for business. The two addi
tional wires between Ogden and Salt Like
will give the cities four circuits instead
of two, as formerly, and will greatly fa
cilitate business between the two points.

THE MONTANA COPPER MINING COMPANY offers the best investment in
the Northwest today. The directors of the company have authorized the sale of
fifty thousand shares of treasury stock to raise funds with which to assist In the
continuance of the development work, which now shows the lead on the Porto
Rico claim to be fully 190 feet wide, showing a good grade of copper ore from the
slate foot wall to the granite hanging wall, while on the foot-wall side of the vein,
almost three feet of high-grade copper glance, running 40 per cent, copper and $20
in gold, is now being followed.
The shaft on the Le Roi is being sunk on th - vein and shows a large body of
good copper ore.
The ore body in the Copper World shows great improvement with every foot
of depth attained.
Work on the Big Matte and Marlinspike shows equally well. As soon as the
road to the mines can be completed the ore will be gotten out, and as It will pay for
all further development work no more treasury stock will be placed on the market.
The company owns six full quartz lode claims, two mill sites, 160 acres placer
ground, Immense quantities of timber and water power sufficient to run a 5,000
ton plant.
Development work i? now being pushed on all the company's property, and
good high-grade commercial copper ore is being exposed on every claim. Thous
ands of tons of good ore is in plain sight on top of the ground, in the form of
ledge croppings several feet in height and extending the full length of four of the
claims.
The property is situated on the upper waters of the North Fork of the Black
foot river, about 20 miles north of Hclmville, in Deer Lodge county, on the pro
posed line of the Blackfoot & Northernailroad.
THE HEWETT CO., of 47 East Broadway, have been appointed the official
brokers of the company, and under the supervision of their board of directors offer
tho block of fifty thousand shares of treasury stock for sale.
The Hewett Co. beg leave to inform the public that they have made a personal
examination of the company's properties, and after a thorough and exhaustive
investigation recommend tlie purchase of this treasury stock as a safe and con
servative investment. This stock will positively advance to one dollar per share
inside of ninety days.
Tiie report of the mining engineers sent to examine the properties justify the
prediction that eacli of tiie claims will make more than an average mine, and the
consolidated group constitutes a property that will shortly take first rank as one
of the state's producers.
