STONE SET FIRM
BY BISHOP KEANE
CATHOLIC PRELATE AND PRIESTS
AT CEREMONY AT SACRED
HEART CHURCH.
CREDIT DUE TO CALLAHAN
Popular Father Has Succeeded in Rails
ing Funds to Build Church
in Butte, Where II Costs.

AT the laying OF the cornerstone OF the
Sacred Heart church yesterday Bishop
keanc of Cheyenne, Wyo., ofiiciated.
Though the day was exceedingly chilly,
large assembage was present to witness
the impressive ceremonies.
The Ceremony.
Immediately succeeding high mass in the
church Bishop keane, preceded by host
of altar boys and accompanied by Rev.
Father Callahan, Rev. Father Batens, Rev.
Father Giacolone and Rev. Father Van
AIKEN, went IN procession to the place
where the stone awaited the laying in
place.
The litany OF the saints was chanted
during the march and arriving at the cor.
nerstonc the bishop blessed the rock and
mortar, and then placing church docu-
ments and Butte newspapers of the day
into the copper receptacle prepared for
them, took up the trowel and put mortar
on which the rock rests. Into this the cor
nerstone was laid.
The Sacred Heart church, when COM
pleted, will be one Of the handsomest in the
state, and is located in fine parish with
Rev. Father Callahan rs parish priest.
The credit of erecting the church falls
on the shoulders of Father Callahan, who
is popular with all classes and especially
with his own congregation.
Expensive in Butte.
1t requires a large amount Of money to
build a church in Butte, owing to high
prices for materials and work, but it is
stated that sufficient money is now in the
treasury to pay for the completion OF the
church. Furniture and an organ must be
provided for later, but the congregation of
the Sacred Heart do not anticipate any
difficulty in providing these.
By December the church will be ready
for occupancy and special ceremonies will
be observed on the opening day.

|NGRAHAM FELLS
BARRY IN STATION
PRISONER MAKES MAD ATTACK ON
THE POLICE OFFICER WITH
A WICKED KNIFE.
TO SAVE HIS OWN LIFE
Officer Takes Butt End Of His Revolver
and Prisoner Drops on the
Floor Like Log.

For attempting 10 assault an officer with
knife John Barry, who was serving
sentence in the city Jail, is now in cell
in the county Jail and will have to face
charge OF assault in the district court.
That Officer John Ingraham Of the Butte
police force is not dead man or a seri-
ously wounded one is due to his nerve in
resisting the attacks of Barry, who at
tempted to stab him in the city Jail last
night.
Barry was fellcd to the floor by blows
on the head delivered by The nervy officer
and received scalp wounds that had to be
sewed up by the city physician.
1t was first thought that Barry was suf-
fering from temporary fit of insanity
when he attacked the officer. but il dcvcl-
opcd that he was crazed by liquor that had
been surreptitiously passed through the
bars of the Jail to him.
Serving Out a Sentence.
Barry was arrested by the police last
Tuesday evening while creating a disturb
ance in front of the Miners Union hall on
North Main street. He fought all the
way to the city Jail, the aid of several
officers being required to quell him, as he
is a powerful man. He was serving
75-day sentence for this outbreak and
last night he appeared to have secured
several drinks OF liquor, which turned him
into a wild beast
About midnight last night Gustave
Kalka, G. II. Burnell John Henderson and
Mrs. Fisher were taken 10 the city Jail
OH the charge of disorderly conduct. As
the men were taken through the corridor
OF the Jail, Barry who was walking around
it in an excited manner and shouting at
the top of his voice. swinging his arms
and generally acting like madman, struck
at kaka The latter returned the blow
and the two men were separated. laler
Fay and Officer lngraham were taking
Kalka to another part of the jail after the
assault when a prisoner told Policeman
Ingraham that Barry had knife and
threatened to kill some one.
Lunged at Policeman.
The officer sought to disarm Barry, when
the latter drew the weapon. large,
broken-bladed affair, and made a danger-
Gus llngc at the officer. Ingraham att
tempted to scare Barry by pointing his
pistol at him. The thoroughly maddencd
man only became more frantic and sashcd
at the officer with his knife. Rather than
shoot the man, the officer took desperate
chance and, rushing up to him, struck him
over the head with the barrel Of the
weapon.
Barry fell to the floor bleeding and
sensclcss. DR.. Sullivan, the healtl, physi-
clan, was called and with the aid of sew
eral bystanders, who held Barry, succeeded
in taking several stitches in his scalp.
He became subducd later and was re-
moved to the county Jail. The county at
torney will probably file an information
against him, charging assault.

There Is much talk as to the reasons
for the absence of coursng yesterday and
today. That the followers OF the hounds
should have passed up these two great
opportunities in splendid coursing weather
is remarkable to the superficial observers
of the game. Some say that the requisite
number of jacks could not be procured
May be so, The fact that in some sections
of the West rabbit drives are necessary to
get rid of the excess rabbit population
need not be taken into account. Then

! Again, may be so. Still further, there are

as in most other sports.

OF the state. Over in Miles City the ag-

John w Rodgers is sweet on the Ham
burgs. When Mimosa, a daughter of that
successful stallion and Castalia. the dam
of cassett, Shilton and Castalian, won at
Sheepshead Bay last week he was moved
to say this: 1T looks as though Hamburg
were destined to be brilliant success in
the stud worthy successor OF his great
sire. If lnhexible had stood up he would
in all probability have furnished the three
placed horses in the Futurity. | am pretty
sure that lnflcxible would have won. When
! worked him and Leonidas together he
used to give the little colt 10 or IS pounds
and lose him.
Hamburg seems to give his get speed,
class and sweet dispositions. They are
the incest horses to handle a man ever
saw. They are good doers, willing work
ers and easy to manage. When | say will
ing workers l do not mean rough, high
headed horses that want to rush out and
swallow up the bit. They go about their
work in businesslke way.
"They are like Hamburg, in fact. He
was big, gentle old COW OH the track. A
child could guide him all day with one
| finger. Yet when he went out on the race
track to race he knew just what to do,
and did it willingly. He was not a horse
| a jockey had to whip to make do his best.
A trainer could not ask anything better
than to have Hamburg colts and fillics to
handle year in and year out"
