The sale of tickets remains good and

day, When nearly every one has money.
Among the money in other funds for the
volunteers is $3.50 which the foundry en-
ployes cleared from their picnic on July 4
and which is held for them on their re-
turn. Police Officer Gerald Sullivan. who
was formerly lieutenant of Company NJ,
says the $3.50 sent to the members of that
company by the ladies of the charity ball
association on or about April Il, has
never been received by them. Lieutenant
Arthur O'Leary, 3, N. Kennedy and w.
p. Griffith, a committee of three of the
company, were designated by the ladies'
of Anaconda as the men to whom the
money was to be sent. Colonel T. OLeary
of thisc city disregarded these instructions
when he sent the money to Manila. Col
Onel kessler, in command of the Mon
tana regiment, acted his part faithfully
by turning the money over to the COM
manding officer of Company NJ and there
the money remains. Officer Sullivan says
that advices dated at Zapote, Aug. Z,
state positively that the member of
Company M. have not received the $3.50
sent them by the good ladies of Anaconda
and there We're times on the firing line
when the money could be used to good
advantage to purchase extras for the
men, who We're fatigued. i'll and wounded.
This is the second time this matter has
been aired in Anaconda and from present
indications the men who contributed the
most of the money to the charity ball will
not be slow in. ascertaining the cause
upon the arrival of the mpa in Ana
conda and probably at San Francisco.
