n Here is a fairy tale about Butte
which appeared in the New York Sun
last Sunday. No old Butte citizen has

Luke Short, said he invented the poch-

through his necklace when he made the
statement. Noble was the first of the
sack-coat shooters. At different times
he killed three bad men in Butte and
they all had clean drop on him, with
