CROSSED OVER.
Another Old Resident of Deer Lodge
Called Away.


The silent messenger has again invaded
one of the homes Of Deer Lodge and
summoned to his final rest citizen
whose personality was deeply wrought
upon the community, and whose name
was almost synonymous with that of the
city and county.
Some three weeks ago John O'Neill,
who for a number Of years has been in
infirm health, in consequence of a chronic
stomach trouble, through the advice of
physicians went to the Pacific coast, with
the hope that change Of climate would
alleviate his sufferings and restore his
strength, and it was supposed that he
was at least no worse, Mrs. O'Neill in
tending to join him within a few days to
remain for short time when they were
to return to Montana together.
On Tuesday morning, however, q tele-
gram received here by c. D. Joslyn from
Seaside, Oregon, brought to friends the
intelligence of the unexpected death
OF Mr.. O'Neill at that place, which sad
event occurred during the previous night.
John O'Neill was born in Airdrie,
Scotland, in 1S41, emigrating to the Uni
ted States when but nine years of age,
and making his first home in Mineral
Point, Wisconsin. Learning the trade
of machinist in Chicago, to which place
he removed year or two later, he after
wards attended school a year or SO at
Dearborn, then Joined the movement to
| the new west, going to Salt Lake city
where for some time he was in the service
of the government. He was closely as
sociated with the stirring events in the
west and southwest preceding the war
for some time at Fort Union, New Mex
leo, and Leavenworth In 1864 he en-
| listed in the 10th Kansas cavalry with
which he served to the end of the war
After his discharge he came to Deer
! Lodge and entered into the saWmlll bust
ness, later opening a furniture store, ano
/ finally, in 1877, opening a hardware store
in which business he was still engaged a
the time of his death. He was married
in Leavenworth, Kansas, in 1864 to Mis-
Barbara So]ledor and besides his widow
leaves three children, William, Minnie
(now Mrs. A. X. Bowden) and Edward.

Dusky Joe Wslcott and Dick O,Brien
are TO light In New York, after all. The
advance money to bind the matcn was
received yesterday by "Hotbox'' Hodg-
kins from "1oots' Anderson. and
o'Brien received his S75. Consequently
all IL serene.
Alta meeting OF the interested parties
yesterday, some funny things occurred.
The banks being closed, O'Brien could
not cash his check for s75. Teddy Leon
ara offered to cash il for a commission OF
1910, but Dick Couldn't see IL. Finally.
Walcott, in order TO make sure OF the
match, offered TO stand for that amount.
Those who are aware OF Waicott's penu-
riousness can appreciate the situation.
Leonard made good the face value OF the
check.
Then another funny thing happened.
! he purse offered is s17D0 to winner and
$500 10 loser. The genial Howie suggested
a 800 bet between Wslcott and O'Brien
upon the result, just TO make il interest
ing. That sum IL the losers end. IL
wss hnally figured out that II O'Brien
lost there would be only S225 coming to
MIN, so the bet was made for 200.
Now, II O'Brien lose, he only gets s25
for his licking ana his expenses. 4 his is
somewhat unusual, and Indicates now
much O'Brien thinks OF his chances,
There las got to be a deciiou, even
should the battle run the full distance
