The case against Officer John CUTIE,
who was accused by Attorney G. J. Walsh
OF assault with a deadly weapon, will
come up for hearing next Saturday. Mr.,
Cutie denies emphatically ever assaulting
Mr.. Walsh in the manner described in
the complaint. He says he used no more
violence than was necessary in his own
self-defense. Mr.. Walsh, on the other
hand, charges the officer With extreme
cruelty and claims he has an abundance
OF testimony to prove that the officer as
saulted him in the most brutal manner
without the slightest provocation. This
is d case that has attracted a good deal of
attention in Anaconda, and each party, Of
course, claims to be able to prove that he
is in the right Of it.
On the night of the 10Th of March the
citizens Of Anaconda will listen to an ad-
dress by EX- Congressman John +. Fin
nerty Of Chicago. Mr. Finnerty is one Of
the noted orators of the United States.
lie is a magnificent and learned and
eloquent gentleman. His addresses are
always polished and entertaining, His
appearance i'll Anaconda will unuuestion-
ably be before an audience of several
hundred people. The lecture is to be de-
llvered under the auspices of the Irish
National Alliance and will be along the
lines OF the new movement inaugurated
In Chicago last year. When Mr.. Finnerty
was in Anaconda before he was greeted
by magnificent audience, and his lee
ture was voted by those who heard it to
be one Of the ablest and most entertain
ing addresses ever delivered in this city.
lie will be given a royal reception when
he returns here.
On Monday evening last the Wolfe
Tone guards, Company K, N. G. NJ, held
an election i'll the new armory in Lyceum
| hail. There was q good attendance of
both officers and men. First Lieutenant
John Durkin was elected captain to sue
ceed Captain James MeQuade Richard
Burke was elected first lieutenant and
Patrick Larkin was elected second lieu
tenant. The vacancies were caused by
the resignation of Captain McQuade and
the retirement Of j. NJ. Kennedy from the
service. During the time Captain Me-
e1uade was at the head Of the company
by his solderly bearing, his ability as a
commanding officer and his kind and ge-
nlal disposition towards all the men in
his command endeared him to the Wolfe
Tone guards, lie has ably filled the
place which he took upon the resignation

years ago. Captain McQuade is an old
regular army soldier. He is familiar in
every detail with military tactics. He is
a splendid drill lmaster and all the mem
bers OF the company respect him and re-
gret his retirement. His successor, Cap
tain John Durkin, is we'll fitted to take
command of the Wolfe Tone guards. He
is Jealous and enthusiastic soldier. He
is thoroughly versed in military science
and is greatly liked by the members of
the company The Wolfe Tone guards
have fallen into good hands. The new
officers, every one of them, are men fitted
for the positions and without doubt they
will keep the company in its present
standing as one of the best military Or
ganiZations in Montana.
The Georgia University Minstrels ar
rived in Anaconda last Monday and gave
an exhibition in the opera house on Mon
day night. The company contains some
good singers and some of the most ac-
complished sticks in the business. The
audience that attended the performance
was not particularly delighted, although
some of the songs were fairly good. It
is not often that John Mcguire books a
poor show for Anaconda. TIe gets the
best that is going for this town. Many of
the leading companies that come this way
visit Anaconda under protest because of
the Wretched opera house here Mr..
Mcguire has frequently, however, re-
fused to book companies passing through
by this route from the east to the coast or
back again, unless they play in Anaconda
as we'll as in Butte. In this way, in
spite of the miserable accommodations
offered theatrical troupes, some of the
best attractions on the road are forced to
visit Anaconda, for which Anaconda the
atre goers should be grateful.
Buns have come to Anaconda in car
loads during recent weeks. They have
been shipped out just about as fast BY the
ever vigilant police force. On Sunday
