Felix France Sues His Employ
ers For $5,500.
AN IMPORTANT POINT
Involved in the Action, As it Relates
to the Character of a Tamp
ing Rod.
Felix Fiance has commenced an action
against Erwin Higgins, P. C. Como and
John Doe to recover judgment for $5,500
damages to compensate him for injuries
alleged to have been sustained by him
while working as a miner for the defend
ants in the Emery mine in Deet'- Lodge
county, and as there is a new point in
volved the outcome of the suit will doubt
less be watched with considerable inter
est. In his complaint he alleges that on
April 22 of this year, while William Strew
and himself were working in the Emery,
tiie defendants negligently, carelessly
I
i
and knowingly furnished them an iron
rod about six feet long with which to
tamp dynamite in holes drilled in rock
to be broken by blasting; that defend
ants knew said rod was an unsafe and
dangerous appliance with which to do the
work; that while Strew was tamping a
hole the dynamite in it exploded and per
manently injured plaintiff,
he states that three splinters of wood ]
were driven into his flesh, one into the j
left ankle, one into his left side near the |
hip and the other into his right arm near
the elbow. In addition to these wounds
he says the Angers of his right hand were
broken, bruised and smashed arid he was
otherwise injured. He demands $5,000
general damages and $500 for loss of time.
The defendants, he further says, were
working the property under lease.
This is the first damage suit based on
the iron rod tamping proposition ever
brought in this section.
Every revolution of the wheel of time
brings forth new revelations and move
ments in the embroglio that has broken
out between the sisters and husband of
the late Kate Toomey over the estate left
by the deceased woman.
First came the petition of Dominick L.
Toomey, the husband, for letters of ad
ministration on tho estate, which is val
ued at about ♦l.OOO; then a protest by
the sisters of Mrs. Toomey against the
appointment of Toomey, which was sup
ported by an allegation that Toomey hail
stolen from a bureau drawer a letter
containing the will left by his wife. Fol
lowing this allegation came Toomey's ap
j pointment as special administrator and
' his arrest on a charge of grand larceny
made by tho sisters, and then the_ arrest
of tho sisters on a charge of malicious
mischief preferred by Toomey.
Briefly told, this was the history of the
case up to 4 o'clock yesterday, but at that
hour another chapter was added by one
of the sisters, Annie Garrity. who peti
tioned the court for the probate of the
will. In conformity with the latter peti
tion Judge Lindsay issued a citation re
quiring Toomey to produce the will of his
wife in court at 2 o'clock Saturday, Nov.
11.
Miss Garrity also asks that the letters
of administration be issued to her.
As stated, Toomey is special adminis
trator of the estate, having been appoint
ed by the court, and in his official capa
city demanded the production of several
j certificates of deposit belonging to the
oistiato. Which he stated in a petition to
the court were j„ the possession of Miss
Garrity and Delia Fitts. In this petition
Toomey says he has good reason to sus
pect and does suspect that Mrs. Pitts has
concealed, embezzled, smuggled, con
veyed and disposed of about $250 belong
ing to tiie estate, and as a result of this
declaration she and Miss Garrity have
been cited to appear in court on Nov. 1
and show cause why they should not lie
compelled to turn the property over to
Toomey as the special administrator.

AT SUTTON'S
A SPLENDID THEATRICAL COMPANY
ENGAGED.
Manager Sutton of Sutton's New theater
has secured for a run of 20 weeks, com
mencing November 19, the Woodward The
ater company of Kansas City, Omaha, St.
Patti and Minneapolis. The company will
alternate between the cities above nam
and Butte. It is the intention of the man
agement to prerent to the citizens of Butte
some of the best plays on the market.
The selection for the opening of the Wood
ward engagement will be the "Ensign,"
followed by the "Three Musketeers,"
"Incog," ''Charity Ball," "The Girl I Left
Behind." "Charlie's Aunt," "Too Much
Johnson," etc. Spei ial scenery will posi
tively be built for each production pre
sented. By this arrangement the patrons
may rest assured that a good, clever play
will be presented, each properly staged,
etc., which we find almost impossible with
traveling combinations. Where \ve find
one callable company we find three inferior
ones to follow, which is detrimental not
only to the public but to the manat -ment
as well. We claim now, without fear of
contradiction, that the New theater is sec
ond to none in the western country in stage
room, seating capacity and equipments, of
which the publie will be convinced of this
statement soon. Our prices will remain the
same as in tlie old house—25c. 35c, and 50c;
lodge seats, 75e; box seats, $1; family alcove
seats, 50c.

MODJESKA TONIGHT.
The historical period during which the
action of Modjeska's new play "Marie
Antoinette," takes place, is from 1777 to
1793, a little more than a hundred years
ago, or long enough to put the terrible
events of those revolutionary days into
oniprehensive perspective. It was wrlt
ten expressly for Modjeska by Mt'- Clinton
Stuart, who, by the employment of a
prologue, is able to contrast Ar toinetteV
joyous, careless life at her famous re
treat of "Little Trianon," with the cruel
and tragic incidents of tit" latter part of
her career. He aimed at writing a purely
historical play, and therefore lias made
liberal use of the most reliable historians
and writers of memoir - , instead of at
tempting anything of an imaginative na
ture. The characters introduced range
from Lafayette on the one hand to Mira
beau. tiie great demagogue, on the other.
From a general standpoint the subject of
"Marie Antoinette" is the downfall of the
French monarc.v. - , "dem fl's'-td stone by
stone." Jn ihe fight of retrospection tin
chief events of the French revolution
crowded upon • ne another with sim'q vapid
ity that it requires no great stretch of the
imagination to bring them till within tiie
focus of dramatic action. Tiie title role
is said to furnish great opportunity for
those mingled intellect ml and sy mpathetic
qualities, in widen Modjeska so sure;la
lively excels. It is officially announced
that during Modjeska's stay the curtain
will be raised at 8 o'cloe sharp.

DARK DUNGEONS.
Northvilie. Kan., correspondence of the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat; Ralph S.
Gehrett, a young Jefferson county sol
dier with Company C. Twentieth Kan
sas, has written an interesting letter
home to a friend, telling of a visit to a
Spanish dungeon. While on duty in Ma
nilt, after active service at the front,
lie took it on himself to make a few ex
plorations, and he visited subterranean
prisons constructed over 400 years ago.
Private Gehrett in his letter, under date
of July 25, says:
"I must tell you something about the
walls that surround and fortify the city.
They were built by Gomez Dasmasinas
in 1590, and are today, although cover.-d
with moss and creeping vines in a good
state of preservation, ;Tn 1, with their
parapets, moats, ponderous gates and
draw-bridges, constitute a most curious
relic of the middle ages. A few days ago
my hunky and I took a notion to go
through the dungeons, secret passages
and rooms with which the old wall Is
honeycombed. We took a couple of lan
terns, bribed tiie guard at the entrance,
and in all visited about 30 rooms. When
we go fairly inside we put out the •
terns for a minute, and the dar'iimss
was horrible. Think of being confined
for life, in the dark, damp, foul-smelling
hole! Tn several rooms we found skulls
and different parts of a human sk deton, j
with slimy lizards and big, gaunt, gray
rats slinking and crouching in the cor
tiers. Oh, what terrible stories those
dark, reeking walls could tell if they
could only speak! What tales of the
horrible silence, of thirst, starvation,
madness and death! As I stood in the
uncertain flicker of the lantern and
watched a lizard as it crawled sluggishly
info the empty eye socket of a grinning
skull, I could not suppn ss a shiver of
fear, and llmnk God that tfm tin«

LAF0NTISE1N
Given the Decision Over Ike
Hayes Last Night.
IT WAS A CLEVER FIGHT
The Men Fought Hard But Were
Fresh at the End of the
10-Round Go.
The 111 »; between Jack Lafomise of Ana
conda and Ike Hayes, the colored pugilist
of Helena, before the Butte Athletic asso
ciation. was the best and cleverest exhibi
tion of tho manly art of self defense that
lias yet been given under tlie auspices of
the association. At the end of the tenth
round Referee Jim Hooper awarded the
tight to Lafontise. The men were fairly
fresh and the crowd was anxious to see
the tight continued, but the pugilists had
signed articles for only a ten-round go,
and refused to continue. Up to this time
Lafontise had had a shade the best of the
fight, but even in the last round the smil
ing black man was game and forced the
fighting. Lafontise was (he freshest of
the two men at the end of the tight. He is
more agile, but his blows, with the single
exception of a left-handed jab, of which
lie makes a specialty, lacked steam. His !
left-handed jab is a straight blow, band i
from Ihe shoulder, and he landed frequent- I
I.v on the negro's smiling face with disas- j
trous effect.
Haves fought for his opponent's wind, |
landing frequently in the neighborhood of
the solar plexus, especially during the first
two or three rounds, when he fought much j
the better of the two. As tiie battle pro-!
eeeded Lafontise paid more attention to j
covering this portion of his anatomy. I
Every one of the ten rounds was a hard- j
fought contest, and during the earlier
rounds Hayes taxed his opponent's endur
ance to tho utmost. About the sixth round
Hayes began to grow tired, while Lafon
tise freshened tip. In tHe tenth, however,
Hayes freshened up and was fighting hard
and furiously when the gong sounded, and ,
while Ihe decision was proper, Hayes was I
good for ten more rounds, and it is ques
tionable whether or not the white man
could have put him ont. . !
The preliminary four-round bout was bo- j
tween Jack Barney, the "Terrible Swede," ]
and Jack Rowlett, and was an entertaining j
exhibition of pugilistic humor.
COMPLAINTS ISSUED. !
As a result of the "«love contest" which
took place between Ike 1 Ta y es, the colored
pugilist of Helena, and Jack Lafontise of
Anaconda, in the rooms of the Hutto Atii-j
lotie association, at 320 North Main street,;
; last night, (bounty Attorney Connolly
j issued a complaint this morning: changing* '
the principals with indulging; in a prize
light, and tiled i» in Justce Nichols* court. :
'Fhe document is quite explicit. It states
that, on the night of October 20, Ike Hayes
and Jack Lafontise did wilfully, unlawfully
and wrongfully engage in and promote as
principals a certain boxing 1 and slugging 1
malch with gloves, which said boxing and
slugging match was not with soft gloves
in any gymnasium for exercise.
During the last, few months several of
these so-called glove exhibitions have been
gi\<n in the rooms of the association, and
prior to each one postal cards have been
sent, to various person^ in the city inviting
their presence. The card sent out for the
Ha ve. -Lafontise bout contained the fol
lowing:
