After serving 10 years in prison
for the murder of Patrick A. Largey,
who, at the time of his death was one
of the most prominent bankers and
mining men in the state, Thomas j.
Riley seeks a pardon, and has ap-
pealed to the Butte ministerial asso-
citation. In his letter to the minis
ters, Riley admits that he did wrong,
tells what led him t commit the
crime and says that during his incar-
ceration he has studied law, mineral
ogy and shorthand, and is of the
opinion that if he should be paroled
or pardoned he would be able to be-
come a useful citizen.
The appeal of Riley. after almost
two decades of silence, recalls one
of the great tragedies of the Butte
mining camp, the greatest catastro'
phe, in fact in the city's history-the
Butte explosion, by which SO people
lost their lives, and over 800 were
injured. One of the injured was Ri
ley. He suffered the loss of a leg
and-this led to the murder of Largey

mining camp of a few thousand peo-

that has since sold for nor than
$4,000, 900, established the State
Savings bank, which became n OF

state, and which after his death came

and which failed when the Heinze

The Butte Explosion.
Among other institutions Largey
controlled the Butte Hardware com
pany. This company handled more
giant powder than any other concern
in Butte. Contrary to the city ordin-
ances it stored it's explosives inside
the city limits. One fateful night its
powder magazine blew up. There
were two explosions. The first one
set fire to the buildings. The entire
fire department was called out, and
hundreds of people were attracted to
the scene of the conflagration. Their
came the second explosion in which
practically every member of the fire
department was killed, as well as 6
large number of spectators.
Largey, as president of the hard
ware company, was held responsible
for the catastrophe. Many law suits
followed. Largey made a number o.
settlements out of court. He paiG

SWAT The GOPHER

1t is estimated that gophers cost
the state of Montana as much as
$4O,000,000 per year on the basis of
1916 wheat production for the state.
The farmers of the state shoul
combine to lower this tax by putting
as many gophers out of business as
possible, and the time to do it is
NOW.
Let the week If April 80 to May
5 be gopher week, and make it a
point to get busy with gopher potion
and get all you IAN. The country
needs the grain and the farmer needs
the money, so why spend a large
share of your profits in supporting
these pests on your farms?

But He is Listed on the Books Of

Here is a story with a moral that

with life, because he is a fugitive
from the United. States in Mexico,
and can only look yearnfully through
the mescal plants across the border
at the land of his reputation.
When the trumpet sounded and
the guardsmen went away to patrol
the Mexican boundary, a young man
named OBrien enlisted in one of the
kal1spell militia companies. With
this company he went to the i~nterna-
tional boundary.
He Invades Mexico.
Border soldering did not appeal to
O'Brien. He had enlisted to fight,

General Gibbon: There il always
danger in going to a Men usually

To many old residents of Montana
1t is astounding how rapidly the In
dian days of the state, the period of
the first settlers and the epoch of
the Sioux and Nez Perez wars are
dropping into the past and forgettul-
ness. Many we're the interesting in
cidents and episodes of those times.
At this day the whole life of the
state has so changed it is difficult to
realize the phases of even that very
past. 1t is only a little time since
1875, the year of the Custer massa-
ere, one of the imperishable TRACE
dies incident to the settlement of
Montana, yet the customs of that day
have become utterly foreign to those
of this generation.
Among the many occurrences con-
nected with the Sioux campaign
which form part of its interesting
history was the council held by Gem
eral Gibbon with the Crow Indians
at the agency on the Saltwater, at
which the army officer sought to OBJ
tain Crow scouts to assist in tracking
the Sioux.
The council was held April 8, a lit
tie more than two months INT a half
before the Inflated battle of the Lit
tie Big Horn. 1t is entertainingly
described in the diary of Lieutenant
James H. Bradley, who reported it
for the army and afterward lad com
mand of the Crow scouts. The diary
says:
The Assembly Room.
Toward 10 O'Clock A. M. the head
men of the Mountain Crows began
to assemble in a room provided by
Mr.. Clapp tthe Indian agent), for the
holding of the council, and at half
past ten the council opened. General
Gibbon and the military officers and
gentlemen of the agency occupied
one end of the room. Lieutenant Bur.
nett and myself, selected to report
the proceedings, sat at a table in
front, with the interpreter, Pierre
Shane, standing near, while the re
mainder of the room was occupied by
the chiefs and head men and the
riff-raff of the whites.
