Mike H~annihan, one of the old settlers
OF this city, died yesterday and was
buried today, the funeral being held from
the Catholic church, conducted by Rev.
Father Hoffman. and attended by a large
~concourse of friends. The deceased had
been In poor health for several months

every one here. He came to Billings
from Minnesota in 1882, with the North
ern Pacific railway, he being a section
foreman on the work of construction of
that road. In 1883 he started a saloon on
the south side and was the owner ever
since up to the time of his death, with
the exception Of two years, when he was

There is talk of organizing a gymna-

both would have a common cause for

He did not think partition would be

Il do not think that the powers will
