Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1901-02-16

What one cannot find in Butte, cannot
be found in the wide world, from par
ticular brand of wine to knOtty point
in mining litigation If you do not see
what you want ask for it, and it will be
forthcoming. If you look upon Butte as
a town of practical, sober common sense,
with no thrilling traditions. no weird
tales to hand down to posterity, you
have only to question some of the old in
habitants and they will unfold tales
which will play more pranks will, your

Come to look at them in the beautiful
Butte sunshine and become curious as
to their authenticity. and there is
vagueness about them which has tend

even the scoffers cease their diatribes

not alone because of it's being a genuine

A SAD AFFAIR AT HAWLEYVILLE
NAUGATUCK BOY WHO STARTS OUT ON LARK, FALLS UNDER CAR WHEELS AND DEATH FOLLOWS.

Howard Champion, 15-year-old boy,
 whose home was in Naugatuck, died in the Danbury hospital last week Thursday evening, from injuries re- ceived by falling beneath a freight train at Hawleyville early in the after noon of that day. The accident ter minated a days outing on which young Champion and his chum, Mi chael Sullivan, started Thursday morn ing. The boys left their homes in Naugatuck to go to Waterbury and in the latter place they climbed aboard a freight train on the Highland division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, intending, it is supposed, to go to Danbury. At ? o'clock Thursday afternoon the boys were seen about the station at Hawley- vile and few minutes afterwards brakeman on an east-bound train saw them attempt to jump aboard a car near the center of the train. One boy,
 Sullivan, succeeded in swinging him. self aboard the car, but his companion slipped and fell beneath the cars. The train was moving slowly and was stop ped quickly but not before the wheels had gone oyer one of the boys legs, mangling it fearfully. The injured boy was carried to the Hawleyville station. Although frightfully injured, he remained conscious and told his name and age. The railway men say that his grit was remarkable. Agent
 James sent at once to Newtown for Dr Schuyler but the latter was unable to get there, so the boy was sent on the 2.57 train to Danbury and taken to the hospital. The leg was so badly crushed that the only hope of saving the boys life was in immediate amputatiOn. The operation was performed, but the shock from the injury had been Sc great that the little patient did not rally after the operation and remained unconscious until death came. The Sullivan boy went back to Naugatuck
 Thursday evening from Hawleyville and took the news Of the accident tC

ALL READY FOR CHILDREN'S DAY.

THE ONLY QUESTION IS, SHALL WE BE
 ABLE ON THAT SUNDAY TO SAY,
 "wHAT IS so RARE AS A DAY IN
 JUNE!'
 Next Sunday morning, June 9, the interior of the Congregational church will be bright with flowers and the happy faces of the children. You could not get along without the flow CTS, and you could not get along with out the happy faces. The children will tell how the lilies grow. They will show what a good preacher Jack is when once he gets into his high backed pulpit. They will tell the se- cret there was between the boy, the bird and the cherry tree; and every- body likes to hear secrets. Besides the regular church offering an offering will be taken at this service to go to the work of the Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society, which gathers the children and older ones in religiously destitute districts into Sunday schools, and then often these Sunday schools grow into good Con- gregational churches.

Kingman, Arizona, Feb. 10.-Last
summer the discovery was made that in
dications Of oil were present along the
Colorado river, beginning at point a
short distance below the crossing Of the
Santa Fe railroad aud extending down
the river nearly to Yuma. At many
points, back from the river about four
miles, the cement formation was stained
with oil blossom Attention was at first
attracted by what appeared to be moist
earth along the banks Of the washes.
Samples of this earth, when analysed,
proved to he petroleum with a parahne
base. Some excitement was created at
that time and large tracts located, but
nothing was done to develop the find un-
I'll now. A lease was drawn last week
whereby a California oil man secures for
twenty years 1000 acres, covering the
place of first discovery, provided he sinks
well within ak months aud systematic
ally develops the oil field. The benefit
to this county, IL producing wells are
found, Is incalcuable. Not only will
cheap fuel be provided, but the oil will
find an outside market by being Heated
down the river to the gulf aud thence to
many points by sea. A half dozen
companies have been formed and il Is
Thought that at least three experimental
wells viii be pa. down this year.
