MICKEY THE GREEK"
That Noted Character Passed Away
This Morning.

mickey the Greek" is dead.
That was the brief announcement of
the passing away of one of the historic
characters of Butte that came over the
telephone this afternoon With the state
anent that his death occurred this morn
Ing at the Sisters hospital from gen.
eral breaking down Of the system.
mickey the Creek" was not a GIecian,
neither was his name Mickey, but years
ago when he arrived in Butte he receiv-
ed the cognomen and it chung to him ever
since His real name was Patrick Nc
Atesney, but few of the thousands who
had a passing acquaintance with the
quaint character knew him by any other
name than mickey the Greek.
He was born in Ireland about As years
ago and came to America when a lad. In
his early life he was midshipman on an
American war ship and at the time of his
arrival in Butte was q splendid specimen
of physical manhood. Dissipation was
the cause of his downfall. He Joined is
sues with callahan the Bum" and the
antics of the two on the streets of the
city were frequently very amusing. Since
Callahans death Mickey has been in
consolable. At odd times he has worked
at his trade-that Of blacksmith's helper.
He was a good natured individual and
was never embroiled in any quarrels.
Just what disposition will be made of
the body is not known, but he will pro.
badly be inferred here.

the defendant company cn June %, 1898.
and the man in charge of the work at
the time ordered THE plaintiff and Others
to cross a scaffolding ON the fourth floor
that had been constructed by Contractor
Whitoside, who was doing the brick
work on the building.
The scaffolding. the plaintiff alleges.
was strlcturally weak and this fact was
known by the person who ordered them
ON it while carrying. a heavy gin pole.
The scaffolding gave way and the plains
tiff, With Others was precipitated dis
tance of about 60 feet into the base
ment of the building. He claimed to
have sustained many injuries, among
them being a crippled leg and an injury
to the left arm, which resulted in tOeal
paralysis. In all he asks for damages
in the sum of $4,000.

BROTHER OF WILLIAM COURT
NEY SUES TELEPHONE co.
FOR $4,000.
THE DECEASED HAD t
BEEN A LINEMAN
Alleged to Have Received a Shock oil
Electricity Last May and Fell
From Company Pole.

John H. Courtney as administrator Of
the estate of William Courtney brought
suit against the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company today to recover
judgment for $4,000 as a recompense for
the death Of the man whose estate he has
in charge. William Courtney was in the
employ Of the defendant company and
while repairing a line at the top of
poe in Broadway on the I'd of last May
he is alleged to have received shock
of electricity which threw him to the
ground ard killed him.
In the comlaint the plaintiff alleges
that it was the duty of the defendant to
so arrange it's wires that they would not
come IN contact with the heavily charg-
ed wires of the street railway company;
that the decedent was a lneman and at
the time of his death was engaged in re-
pairing wires for the defendant COM
pany; that while thus engaged one Of the
wires of the defendant broke or became
| disengaged and fell upon the stay wires
of the street railway company; that the
latter Wire had no shield and the live
wire gave the telephone wire voltage of
about so volts enough to kill a human
! being; that the said William Courtney
received the full current with which the
wire was charged and was SO burned and
shocked that he was rendered senseless
and unable to protect himself; that he
fell from the pole to the sidewalk and
was instantly killed: that the killing of
Courtney was the result of negligence
and carelessness on the part of the de-
PENDANT in not protecting it's wires from
the live wires of the street railway
company.
| Further, the plaintiff alleges that
| Courtney was a young man of good ha-
| bits Industrious and energetic and was
by his labor ana skill able to earn 49, 3
per day: that Courtney left as heirs and
next of kin a father and mother. aged
20 and 66 years respectively and by his

the rate on cigars probably will remain
at $3 per thousand
The understanding thus far reached is
looked upon as likely to be final al
though the conferees themselves saw
that no formal agreement has yet been
arrived OF and it will not be unless the
democratic conferees are called in that
a final step can be taken. Republican
members are continuing their meetings
on the various items still open with the
prospect that complete adjustment is
not far off.
