KANE is TO BE MANAGER.
Popular Butte Short Stop Will Lead
the Team to Victory.

the Team to Victory.
1t was decided by the directors of
the Butte baseball team to try Short
stop Kane for manager of the Buttes
for this season in place of McClos-
key, who wanted to get nearer to the
California ruction. 1t was also de-
cided to make Ward field captain.
This should make a strong combina-
ton. Kane is popular with all the
men on Gle team. While some of
the others have little differences and
spats at times, all seem to like Kane.
Furthermore, the years OF experience
which Ward has had in baseball
should make him an ideal field cap
tain. While a little slow in his own
movements, he knows what should
be done, and all the men have conf
dence in his ability and judgment.
Tickets We're sent to the members
of the Butte team with instructions
to show up at Butte on April l. 1t
is the intention to have the team
start soon thereafter for Salt Lake,
and they will train there for 10 days.
They will open the season in San
Francisco with SIX straight games
with McCloskey's new bunch. They
will then go to Los Angeles, and
afterward visit each of the sound
cities and Spokane, not showing up
in Butte probably until June. 1t is
probable that San Francisco will
open here on Miners union day.
Butte will be sorry to lose Catcher
Zearfoss, who will ioin the San Fran
cisco team. 1t was the understand
ing that each of the Pacific north
west clubs should furnish some of
it's best men for the San Francisco
club, as it would be ridiculous to
add San Francisco to the league and
then put a weak team in there. Butte
contributes Zearfoss, Houtz and Mar
shall to the new team McCloskey
has agreed to get Butte good catch
er in the east in exchange for Zear-
foss.-Standard

ROBBED A SWEDE RAiLROADER
Of Two Watches and 500 Early
Thursday Morning-kjundiy, the
Victim, Is Section Foreman, and
Had Been Taking in the Town
When He Was Taken In.

Ole Kjundly, section foreman at
Marion, was held up and robbed OF
$40 and two watches yesterday morn
ing about 4:30 O'Clock, while on his
way to his room in the Conrad house
Three men were implicated in the
job, two of whom, William Davis and
J. P. McCourt, We're afterward ar
rested.
Kjundly was taking in the sights
OF the city during the night and
spent some time in the Stockholm
concert hall, where he had occasion
to change $40. Davis and McCourt
were there at the same time, and it
is supposed they planned to follow
him to some convenient spot and
frisk him. At about 4:3O Kjundly
started to the conrad house and was
within a short distance of it when he
was seized by a tall man, who
clapped his hands over his mouth
and held him while others went
through his pockets. After securing
his money and watches, they took
to their heels and disappeared in the
darkness. Their victim went to the
hotel and told of his experience and
the police were notified.
Davis had been under suspicion
for some time, and only q short time
ago had been implicated in a row at
the Stockholm, where he drew a
knife on another drunk named Owen
Mann. He was arrested at that time,
but was released on the payment of
a S. fine. Kjundly's description of
the tall man who held him fitted
Davis, and Chief Johnson went to a
shack on Third street west, where
Davis had been stopping, and found
him and McCourt in bed. They were
taken to the city lookup, and soon
afterward Frank Mougin, who rented
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1903-03-27

the shack where they were stopping,
was rounded up on suspicion. All
We're arraigned in the afternoon, and
Davis and McCourt were positively
identified by Kjundly as two of the
men who held him up. 1t is a clear
case against them, as McCourt when
arrested was wearing Kjunlys hat,
which the latter lost in the fight.
The other men implicated succeeded
in getting away, and as yet have not
been located.
