THE INJURED.
Michael O'Neill. John Cole and Henry
Earl, three of the injured who have been
at Murray & Freund's hospital, have SO
far recovered that they were to-day sent
to their homes. O'Neilfs home is in
Minneapolis and he was sent to that city.
The others Mt Murray & Freunds hospital
are improving rapidly with the exception
OF Ion 81. LIAR anu henry llggernan.
The latter is delirious and still in n
critical condition. St. Clair shows very
little, if any Improvement. His mother,
father and two brothers are almost con-
stantly at his bed side.
There is very little change in the condi-
ton of the injured at the Sisters hospital
except that the boy Frasier seems slight
ly better. William Bow, in spite of his
terrible injuries, was no worse tonight,
although the doctors say it is impossible
for him to get we'll.
The Silver Bow band is making ar
rangements to give a concert for the ben
eft of the explosion sufferers. The con-
cert will take place as soon as a date at
the opera house can be secured. As the
Silver Bow is one of the best musical or
carnations in the state, the concert
promises to be one of the best ever given
in Butte, and will doubtless net good
sum for the relief fund.
