about the third week Of the opening
of Sutton's theater. the stock company
played East Lynne" drama almost
as venerable as Uncle Toms Cabin"
and it was during this third week that
Uncle Dick retrieved his losses of the
two weeks preceding. Every eye moist
ened over the unhappy East Lynne"
represented a dollar in the box Office:
and the tears that fell into the hand
kerehiefs of the audience would irri-
gate garden anywhere outside of
the smoke belt. From that time on,
the little theater has been making money
good acting in good plays at popular
prices. Seekers of amusement left the
Grand and patronized the Family. Then
the managers of the former cOaXed
away some of Uncle Dicks best people.
This aroused the ire of the Old Ken
tuckan. He announced that il they
trenched on his position as a stock
company manager exclusively. he was
justified in cutting into their business
with stars. This he did. with the ulti-
mate result that Sutton is the manager
of the only theaters in Butte.
During the conversation Monday
night, Uncle Dick produced picture of
Mrs. Sutton's home in Msrshalltown.
Iowa. 1t represents 4 fine cottage
| dwelling. Standing near the porch is
an old lady, Mrs. Martha Keller, moth
er of Dick Sutton's wife, now 81 years
of age. Around the old lady in the
picture are two grandchildren and
family of Mrs. Sutton's brother, who
lives in Marshaltown.
This cottage home in Iowa is the
creation Of sentiment. which beats no.
where SO strong as in the breast of a
kentuckian. 1t illustrates what one
might call an eccentric freak of Dick
Sutton's. The money which built this
house for the Iowa grandmother was
paper money, and paper money alone,
received in exchange for admission
tickets at the box office. Some years
ago Dick Sutton unfolded the plan to
his Wife. and both agreed that every
81 and - bill should be kept apart from
/ the rest of the money in the box office
and devoted to :he cottage fund. The
| result is observed in the picture of
| the home in Marshalltown; and al

built the first house in the town. and
was it's first postmaster. In 1861 Mr.
Sutton began his career as a Snowman
travelling with circus troupe and he
mas been a Snowman ever since, in one
way or another catering to the amuse-
ment public in every part of the coun-
try.
When Mr.. Sutton came to Butte. forr
years ago last October, his intention
was to build theater to be called the
columbia. He looked over the site then
occupied as a barn or livery stable on
South Montana street, No. ll9. but tba
location did not fit the Judgment of the
experienced Snowman and theatrical
manager. So he chose the place in the
taplice block now known as Sutton.s
Family theater, and spent upwards of
$4,000 in altering the interior of the
building to meet his views of Il modern

block, according to Mr.. Sutton, backed
by observations of theatrical people who
come this way, is the best equipped pop

will seat more people down stairs than
the Grand opera house on Broadway.
When Manager Sutton opened the
Family theater to the public, the first

something like $50; the second about $50

of alien laborers to take the places OF

pressed and driven from their homes.
alt has used the appointing power
for the purpose of debauching and
silencing its adversaries.
alt has connived at the suppress
sion of the colored vote in certain
states in the hope of gaining support
therein for its unlawful policies.

force the constitutional amendments
in these states.

Jail Break


between and 6 O'Clock, jail break
or delivery WAS effected at the county
jail, in which the notorious burglar
and all round crook, Mike Berry, to-
gether with Edward Monroe and
Charles Ides, made their escape.
While under ordinary ciroumstan-
ces this would not be surprising, con-
sidering the desperate character Of
the men, especially Berly, yet when
we stop to consider the unusual care
and vigilance exercised By Sheriff
Cross ard his deputies to guard
against an escape, it seems hard TO
realize that the notorious trio of bur
glars could get out and away in an
hours time--vanlshing completely.
For tue last three weeks, ever since
the sheriff discovered that Berry was
making files and keys and other tools
out of knife blades, spoons, etc, Mr..
Cross has slept at the Jail himself,
aud each day he has rounded up the
cells, tested the iron bars at the win
doN's and never for moment left the
jail unless a deputy was on hand to
take his place. 1t is only abouo three
weeks unit! court convenes, when the
prisoners would have been tried and
disposed OF, and Sheriff Cross didn't
purpose taking any chances.
On Saturday the deputies wanted a
lay-ofi' and Mr.. Cross, feeling that
they had earned holiday, let them
go taking up the watch himself He
was never out of his office but a few
minutes at time, and not fifty feet
away from the building at any time,
vet almost under his very nose, so 20
speak, Mike Berry worked the scheme
that liberated hims self and compan-
ions, all but Jake Thomas, who re-
fused to 90 He was bound aad
gagged and left lying on the floor.
As soon rs Sheriff Cross discovered
that his prisoners had escaped he
started in pursuit, and together with
dozen men beat up the country
round about Collins all night, besides
wiring everywhere, but to no avail.
Mr.. Cross then issued reward notices,
offering 500 for the capture of the
escaped prisoners, but at this time
nothing has been heard Of them. 1t
is thought that Berry had confeder-
ates on the outside, but whether they
communicated with him prior to his
escape is unknown.
Sheriff Cross is much distressed
over the loss Of his prisoners, feeling
the matter all the more keenly be-
cause never before in his official ca
reer has q prisoner escaped him, and
in this particular case he had gone to
much trouble and some personal ex-
pense to keep his prisoner safe. No
possible blame can attach TO Sheriff
Cross, because his friends know that
more faithful, Conscientious official
never lived, and while we all deplore
the unfortunaae position he is placed
in. yet he has the sympathy of all
people and everyone is satisfied that
if il Is within the realm of human
possibility Mr.. Cross will have his
prisoners or their bodies in court
when the cases are called for trial
Fort Collins Argus.
In spite of the vigilance of Sher'
itf Cross these vile malefactors es-
capped, doubtless by the aid of out
side help We do not see how blame
can attach to the sheriff under the
circumstances

The ,Moccasin in Winter.

The moccasin is the most rational
and comfortable of all footwear. In
moccasins the feet have full play; they
can bend and grasp; there is nothing
to chafe them or impede circulation.
In noccasins one can move like IN
acrobat, crossing slender and slippery
logs, climbing trees, or passing with
ease and security along dizzy trails on
the mountaineide where slip might
mean sure destruction. The feet do
not stick fast in mud. IN the North,
when the mercury is far below zero
and no civilized boot will protect the
feet from freezing, the savage suffers
no inconvenience. His moccasins,
stuffed with dried grass, let the blood
course freely. The perspiration may
freeze on the hay in solid lump OF
ice, but the feet remain warm and dry.
The buckskin moccasin, Indian-tanned
with deers' brains and wood smoke,
always dries soft after. a wetting.-
