Final Honors Paid to the Late
Patrick A. Largely.
IMMENSE CROWDS ATTEND
All Butte Takes a Mournful Holiday.
Men From Every Walk of Life
Show Their Respect for an Es-
teemed and Worthy Man


funeral more impressive than that yes
terday of the late p. A. Largey and
never was there apparently more
general desire on the part of the peo-
pie of Butte to show respect to the
memory of worthy citizen. 1t was
like holiday, though a most mourn
full one. Nearly all the stores were
closed during the time of the funeral,
some We're closed all day and the courts
too adjourned during the hours fixed
for the funeral
Could the man whose murderous
hand ended the career of Mr.. Largely
have seen the procession which accom-
panied the dead man on his last jour
ney, could he have noted the charac-
ter of the men who turned out to do
fitting honor TO the man they esteemed,
he might have realized his utter mis-
take If he expected that his atrocious
act would meet with the slightest APP
prevail or endorsement at the hands
of the people of Butte, or any class of
them. Mr. Largey was followed to the
grave by people in all walks of life, of
all religions and all classes. There
was scarcely a prominent business man
or a leading citizen of Butte who did
not attend as the final honor to an
honorable man and as rebuke to muir
der. In the crowded church during the
solemn service We're nearly as many
Professionals as Catholics.
Their Last Look.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
sorrowing family tok their last view of
the remains of Mr.. Largey and soon af-
terWard the doors were thrown open
and the people who desired We're per-
mitted a last look at face so familiar
in Buttes streets The face now cold
in death was slightly blackened and
powder marked. showing the terrible
manner in which death came. The
body was in the west parlor, encaSed
in the most magnificent caslSet ever
seen in Butte. 1t is of the style known
as grand chancellor, being of oxydized
silver with gold trimmings. On a sill
Yer plate with gold tips was engraved
the word Papa There was a raised
crucifix at the foot of the casket. The
handles We're of oxydized silver with
q miniature engraved design of the
gates ajar in gold. The exterior of the
casket was heavily draped in black.
while the interior was lined with tufted
satin
Never We're there as many flowers at
a funeral in Butte as those which came
as the tribute of friends to the memory
of Mr.. Largely. and which so filled the
room in which the remains lay that
there was scarcely room for passage
way for those who would view the
body. One of the most beautiful floral
designs ever seen in Butte was the
! bers of the Silver Bow club. A cres-
! cent and star was the beautiful trib-
ute of Mr. and Mrs. w. McC. White.
