= even those who knew him best could
ave no information on that point. In
search OF information the following facts in
regard to his career were cleaned from a
gentleman who has known him for some
years. They met in Wichita, Kansas, in

incidentally gambling to a considerable ex-

IN the San Juan, where he purchased come
teams and engaged in the business Of
1relghtlng. Again becoming dissatisfied he
started with his wife and made a trip to
New Mexico, with a view of bettering his
condition. He located in Santa Fe and
opened a fine saloon and billiard hall, and
did well, but his restless spirit caused him to
sell out, and he returned to Del Norte. From
there he went to Rico, and again engaged in
the saloon business, and when the Durango
excitement broke out in 1880 he went into
that camp and opened a restaurant in the
name of his wife. He soon made friends,
and was elected as a member of the city
council and subsequently as City Marshal,
serving in that capacity for three years and
giving entire satisfaction to the people.
The restaurant business did not prosper,
and the council having cut down the salary
OF the marshal, Foley resigned and went to
Denver. Not finding any field there he
came to Butte, arriving here in April last.
His recommendations were excellent, and
he was at once engaged by Gordon 4 Ham
ilton as doorFeeper, which position he has
filled to their entire satisfaction. Those
who knew him best say that while he was a
man OF physical bravery and great deter
mination, he was not in any sense Of the
word d 'bad man," and that unless un-
der the influence of liquor he was as quiet
and peaceable as any man in the country.
THE WOMAN.

suicide, is a woman of comely appearance,
physique, regular features and has a full
suit of black hair. She is full OF vivacious
temperament and had a host OF aquaint-

rior of Ohio, and was there married to a
Mr.. Blade, by whom she had two children
who are now with her. The eldest is a

years, and the other a bright boy OF IL.
The two children are now at the bedside OF
the wounded woman. In 1880 she came
West and met with and married Flick. She

they then separated, she going to Denver.
and he drifting off to some other point, the
last heard OF him being at Glendale. Mrs.
Flick came to Butte about a year ago and
entered into the business of selling beer in
the variety theaters. She subsequently
brought he1 children here and they have
been attending school. About four months
ago she met Foley and they at once became
intimate, but about a month ago he De-
came angered at her for some reason am

FACTS.
An intimate friend OF Foley's,, who, how,
ever. has only known him since his arrival
in Butte, says that on the night previous
to the shooting, he met Foley in a saloon
about 10 O'Clock, chat he then appeared
nervous and restless; that among the
narties in the room was Mcdonald, the
man whom Foley hit with the revolver at
the Toledo. They looked at each other,
but did not speak. Foley had his boo
blacIed, and while he was thus occupied
the gentleman spoke to him !, about %"d ms n,4
