Tho Reported Deaths of the Mcnamara
Brothers an Error,

ia City, New, now living in Butte, will
be pleased to hear that Tom and Dan
Mcnamara, who were reported to have
met their deaths in Alaska, are still
in the land of the living in all proba-
bility. About two weeks ago an Alas
kan dispatch stated that two men
named Mcnamara had been drowned
in the Yukon on their way into Daw-
son. The relatives and friends of the
Mcnamara boys in this city read the
telegram, and as the boys had left
Butte in October, concluded that it re-
ferred to them. and We're grieved. The
first names of the men drowned were
not given, and as no news of or from
the boys had been received, the mat
ter was left in doubt. however.
In the last two or three days further
news concerning the victims of the
river has been received and the rela-
tives of the boys in the city, of whom
there are a mother, four sisters, a
brother and a brother-in-law, are Of
the opinion they are not the same per-
sons. The brother-in-law, Mr.. Kyne,
bookkeeper at Symons dry goods store
states that the Portland Oregonian
published a dispatch from Forest
Grove, Ore. saying Miss Alice McNa-
mer of that place had received news
confirming the report of the death of
her two brothers by drowning in The
Yukon, and that it is believed by the
relatives of Tom and Dan here that
these men were those referred to in the
first report.

CARLISLE INDIANS.
The Butte Team May Possibly Get Game
with Them,


The project of bringing the Univer-
sity of Chicago football team to Butte
has been abandoned through the re-
fusal of the members of the University
of California to train any longer but
a proposition fully as attractive, at
least as far as Butte is concerned, is
under consideration. CALIFORNIA; cham
pion team has asked the Carlisle In
dams. the Sharkeys of football, who
are always ready to meet the best and
a second game whether they win or
lose, to come West and play a game
in California and the Indians have
signified their willingness to make the
trip.
In case arrangements are perfected
with them by California, Butte should
certainly fall into line and secure a
game. There is at present as strong
a team in Butte as even the famous
and allvictorious eleven Of 1886. True,
at present fractional fights and jeal-
ouses have about evenly divided the
players, but under the stimulus Of the
present opportunity they would easily
forget and forgive and send their united
best against the common enemy. All
that is now needed is financial backing,
which will enable them to send on to
the Indians an assurance that they
will guarantee so much, and thus Sc
cure the much-coveted game.
Time is short and already Salt Lake,
Portland, Seattle and many other foot
ball cities have sent on their bids while
Butte, whose gridiron at one time was
one of the most noted in the West, is
still silent.

WOODWARD STOCK COMPANY.
The Gay Nr Bender" VIII BE Presented
Mt Sutton'S


Commencing tomorrow with Sunday
matinee the Woodward Stock company
at Sutton's new theater will present the
four-act comedy entitled 1.-THE Gay Mr.,
Bender" This play is translated from
well-knoWn translator and adapter.
This play is on the same lines as Will
lam Gillette's successful comedy, "Ali
the Comforts of Home" The trans
lation is precisely from the same source
and lacks none of the ridiculous situa-
ton and laughable scenes. The stock
company has played this comedy with
great success throughout the country
and no pains has been spared to make
the production equal, If not better,
than any effort of the company hereto
fore.
For the first time since the advent
of the company in Butte specialtes will
be introduced. William Riley Hatch,
who has the reputation throughout the
Eastern cities as being one of the finest
baritones, having held the position as
leading baritone in some of the first
opera companies of the United States
and Europe, will introduce a selection
of solos during the action of the play.
c. c. Marquette, who is recognized as
an exceedingly clever negro delineator,
will also introduce some of his coon
specialties. Following is a brief synop-
sis of the comedy:
"A man past the prime of life has
married a young and pretty wife. A
previous marriage has left him with a
young daughter who has fallen in love
with a young man. The husband thinks
that his daughters lover is infatuated

weeks now there has not been case OF
smallpox in the vicinity of Great Falls
and any danger from the disease is at
an end. The only possible chance of

DR. Weitman having come to the city,

NAUGLE RETURNS.
Says Story About Him Was
to Gust Mrs. Marshall.

Newton, Feb. 3.-Lyman Naugle, edi-
tor of the Wellington Voice and a prom
inent Populist, was in the city today
and denied the report that he had dis
appeared as a result of relations between
himself and Mrs Emma S. Marshall,
matron of the Topeka insane asylum.
He brands as an untruth the statement
that the relations between himself and
Mrs. Marshall were not what they
should have been and says that the
publication of the story was the result
of a political plot to Gust Mrs. Marshall
from the asylum. He says she has been
too scathing in her criticisms of the ac-
tons of several of the members of the
insane asylum board and that there
has been anything but harmony be-
tween them and herself for the past
several months.
He admits that Mrs. Marshall and
himself made a trip to the east together,
but says that she was guilty of nothing
more than indiscretion for which he
was to blame. Mr.. Naugle asserts that
he will fight the matter out with the
instigators of the story. He claims that
he went to Denver last Sunday on bust
ness and knew nothing of the story
until today. He is now on his way to
Topeka to straighten out the matter.

DESTRUCTION.


sible to stand within several rods of the
front of the building.
Yet, with such a fire as this, not a
window pane in the front of either of
the buildings adjoining the fire were
broken or cracked. OF the windows in
the rear of the adjoining stores one
pane of glass was broken.
The firemen worked hard for six hours
in clothing first soaked, then frozen
and under every disadvantage and yet,
the fire that was likely to sweep away
half the block, was confined to the
building in which it started. To the
efficiency of the department lies the
credit of saving a greater part of one
of the most valuable and closely built
business block of the city. Chief Will
marth cornmends his men by saying
that every man obeyed orders to the
letter. He himself thought, when he
first saw the fire, that a large portion
of the block was doomed.
