late Marcus DAILY, James a. Murray,
one of Butte's rich bankers. and many
other prominent and wealthy men of
Butte. IL was at this time that the
friendship already existing between Mr..
Mcguire and Mr.. Murray became even
more strongly cemented. The house be

scholar whose scope of reading and
study extended the length and breadth
