OPPOSE PARDON OF
CASCADE KILLER
YOUTH WHO KILLED MINER OF
SAND COULEE ASKING
FOR LIBERTY
Motive for killing was possession of
automobile and money of victim;
Boy attempted to fix crime ON his
father.

County Attorney F.. A. Ewald of
Cascade county has refused to re-
commend a parole for Michael Patti
kovitch of Sand Coulee, now serving
an indeterminate sentence of from 10
to 20 years at Deer Lodge for
the murder of Charles Tishma, a
Sand Coulee miner, who was brutally
killed On July 20, 1918. Ewald's adj
verse recommendation to the state
parole board was emphatic.
In its communication to Mr.. Ewald
the state board sets out that Pattko-
witch was aligible to parole on May
21, 1924, as he had served one-half
of his minimum sentence. Mr.. Ew-
aid wrote the pardon board that the
prisoner should serve at least the
minimum sentence because of the
circumstances surrounding the muir
der.
The Circumstances
A Ford automobile and Tishma's
money was the motive for the muir
der, court records show. They also
reveal how Pattkovitch first tried to
lay the crime at the door of a neigh
Dor boy and later declared his father
to be the guilty one. The elder Patti
kovitch was tried for thhe murder on
the strength of the boys testimony.
A jury acquitted him.
AS adduced by testimony from a
score of witnesses, the story of the
trial which took place in the spring
of 1919 in the district court, showed
that the younger Pattkovitch lured
Tishma from his home in Sand Cou-
lee by telling him that he wanted
him to take his car, a Ford, and aid
the elder Pattkovitch in repairing
some machinery.
Tishma agreed and drove to the
ranch where he was
his body dragged by a wire
attached to one leg and buried in a
manure pile.
Sought Tishma's Pay.
A few days after the murder, Patti
kovitch, not content with having
killed Tishma and obtaining the car,
decided to get the dead mans UNI
collected wages. He went to Great
Falls and instituted attachment pro-
ceedings in justice court. In the
meantime Pattkovitch's downfall

one company. They can be seen
from almost any portion of the
lower lying and beautiful valley
of Flint creek.
Neither beautiful nor picturesque
are these buildings, but they have
been intensely practical, and they
added vastly to the worlds store
of wealth and have brought riches
to many comparatively poor men.
The chief story of the hill clus-
tiers about Granite Mountain mine,
for it is the oldest. 1t had been
discovered in the early seventies

WILD BUFFALO INVADING
OF CENTENNIAL

A herd of seven buffalo were
roaming at large in the upper Cen
tennial valley recently, according
to word from a rancher of that sec
great annOyancenn uuma-. cmfwy-
ton. They have been causing
great annoyance to the ranchers
there as the fences mean nothing
to them, and hay corrals have
been invaded as well as farm yards,
the entire herd feeding at leisure
wherever they may happen t o be.
The herd has been driven into
the mountains several times by
cowboys, but they return and seem
to prefer the Picnic Springs
ranches to all others. As it is dam
gerous for a man ON foot to APP
proach them, the owner finds it
impossible to feed his hens ex-
cept by mounting his horse and
packing the feed across a small
creek, where his chicken coops
are located.
The buffalo belong in Idaho and
are said to be descendants of the
big buffalo bull that killed Dick
Rock several years ago at his game
corral.

nVER in Granite county, IS
~ miles from Anaconda, stands
the famed Granite mountain,
the hill which in the eighties and
nineties made a number of million
aires and which is responsible for
much of the wealth of St. Louis,
where it was chiefly owned.
AT the foot of this hill lies the
town of Phillipsburg, which was a
prosperous camp long before the
wealth of Granite mountain became
known. Fourteen or fifteen feet
above the town, clinging to the
steep, bare hill, are the buildings
that mark the surface af the Gran
tie Mountain and Bi-Matallic
mines, since 1896 consolidated into

auto dealer then learned that Patti
kovitch had the car.
The youthful murderer was picked
up by l.. X. Kommers, then sheriff
of Cascade county, and taken to
the equity jail for investigation. For
several days he stoutIy denied any
connection with Tishma's disappear
ance and at one time he was about to
be released, when circumstances
again tended to point a finger of sus-
picion at him. His first story was
that a neighbor boy had told him of
killing Tishma. This boy was at the
county Jail when young Pattkovitch
told his first story and only the pre-
enc of deputy sheriffs prevented an
encounter between the two.
Implicated father
All through a vigorous examina-
ton conducted that night Pattko-
witch adhered to his story, but when
the questioning vas begun again the
next morning he showed signs of
weakening. Finally he admitted the
falsity of his statement concerning
his friend, fold a number of conflict
ing yarns and eventually broke down
and confessed his own part in the
crime. Later on, he again changed
the story to make his father the
party and the aged man was
tried, with his son as principal wit
ness for the state. Throughout the
fathers trial, officers sat between
father and son and at no time we're
they permitted to be together. The
father was acquitted.
The son then was placed on trial,
found guilty of second degree muir
der and sentenced to serve from ten
to twenty years in the state peniten-
tiary.

and in 1880 had been acquired by
the late Charles d. Mcclure, one
of the officers of the Hope Mining
company, then operating not very
p~rofitably at Phillipsburg. The
wealth of the muontain was not
then fully realized.
After acquiring the property,
Mcclure went to St. Louis, first
granting his brother : in : law,
Charles Clark, at Phillipsburg, the
right to sell all his interest. In
December, 1880, Mr.. Clark, having
satisfied himself of the probable
of the mine, went to St.
Louis for the purpose of interest
ing capital. The disgruntled stock
holders of the Hope refused to sink

any sound. The gag was about eight
feet long and Walsh was confident
of his ability to tie his captor Sc
curely.
'Leave that to me-" Campbell says
Walsh told him when Campbell sug-
gested that perhaps the gag might
not accomplish its purpose.
The knife Walsh had was a table
case knife, which the prisoner had
sharpened to a razor-like sharpness
on a slab of concrete he tore from
the floor. The concrete he wrapped
in a sack making an effective billy.
The knife Walsh told his fellow
prisoner, was obtained by means of
a wire and hook. The condemned
youth filched it from a window sill
four feet distant from the bars of
the cage.
Talked Again
The prisoners glib tongue could
not remain silenced. He told his
plans to Campbell and importuned
his fellow prisoners aid. Campbell
says he told Walsh he didn't want
to have anything to do with it."
1t was on Sunday, June 8th that
Campbell was -incarcerated in the
Boulder jail. On the same day
Walsh told his plans and asked
Campbell for a string.
'If 1 had a string, I could melt
these bars like so much butter" he
is said to have told Campbell, at the
same time pointing significantly at a
bottle which Campbell believed con-
tanned acid.
Campbell armed himself with a
club and each time Undersheriff
Knight entered Walsh's corridor
Campbell stood nearby watching
Walsh.
Time after time Walsh entreated
CampbelTs aid. "He said to me-"
Campbell declared, 'What do you
want to stay here for? They'll rail
road you like they did me. You'll
be here from two to five years."
Would Rob Bank
Walsh, according to Campbell,
drew a map of the route he intended
to take after escaping. He planned
according to Campbell, to rob the
bank at Victor, Idaho.
He told me-" said Campbell, 'fthat
after we got out, assuming that I
was with him, we would steal a
Marmon car in Boulder here. He
said he was going to drive all night
to the Snake river. If the water was
deep enough he planned to bury the
machine in the river. If not he was
going to burn it.
"Then he was going to steal a sad
die horse; if I was with him, two
horses. The robbery of the Victor
bank was to be a daylight affair
and Walsh said it was a pipe

that but for the presence of Camp

his plan. Had Walsh known he was
going to Deer Lodge at the time he
did, MI. Knight believes the prisoner
would have attempted an escape

ever, a syndicate was formed anc
money provided for the working.
For two years the hackers die
nothing but produce money for de-
velopment and receive the jeers Of
the wiseacres of the old Hope com
pany.
In November, 1882, the work
had passed through a chute of 40t
feet of ore averaging so ounces in
silver to the ton, and then through
lis feet of barren ground before
making the strike. Then prosper
.ity began.
During the following year the
bonanza realized the investors
$274,00O. In July, 1886, the pro-
duct of the mine as sold and GER
dited in a bank at St. Louis was
$2,170,O00. From Octoer 8, 1880,
when the first tools were sent into
the mine, to April 8, 1885, the SYN
dictate had paid assessments. In
April, 1885, the mine began to pay
dividends on its capital stock of
$10,OOO,OO0, divided into 100000
shares of par value of SIS each.
By October, 1886, the mine had
paid dividends aggregating ST.
100000, after paying all indebted
ness.
The first dividend declared was
10 cents a share. This amount was
paid for several months, and then
increased to rs cents a share. This
continued for a year or two, and
then then so cents a share was
paid every month for a number of
years. Thus a man holding $4,000
shares-and there were such-re-
ceived $4,000 a month in divi-
dends. Once or twice the dividend
was IS cents a share. This condi-
ton made Monte Cristos of men
who had been comparatively poor.
From 10 cents a share to the out
set the stock was sold as high as
500 per share in the market in
1889.
Granite Mountain silver was the
the foundation of the first real es-
tate boom in St. Louis. With but
one exception the fortunes reaped
from this mine were employed to
foster the interests of that city.

Kainram Grotto Units To Attend Show Wednes-

Extra seats were required to take care of the vast crowd that witnessed the second performance Tuesday night of "The Masque of Pandora" the en- trancing dramatic opera presented at the Masonic field, Seventh avenue and Eighteenth street, under the auspices of Zamora Temple Nobles of the, Mys- Templar Night" with large attend ance of that organiza tion, the public was present in numbers, attracted by and gave it unqualified approval.
 Wednesday night will be ''Kamram Grotto night" and the officers and members of Kamram, with band, patrol, kantors and other uniformed units. will attend in body. Monarch Jasse l.. Hagy requests the members of the Grotto to turn out en masse and to wear the fez.
 Pandora" as staged and presented by the capable cast of Birmingham talent, headed by Ruby Evans Parrett of Chicago, grand opera fame, is a qualification of Longfellow's immortal poem. It has some tense dramatic mo- ments, interludes of delightful music, haunting pictures and hundreds of graceful girls, scenic effects of rare beauty and charm, with many other features that will finger long in the memory of those who witness the per formance.
 If the story of the presentation of Pandora" were to be melted down into one golden sentence-ff all the super. latives so richly deserved, were to be eliminated and just one outstanding bit of description used in its telling that sentence would read "the glory and triumph of youth" for it is this charm that dominates the performance. This tribute to youth does not in the least detract from the splendid work of the older members of the cast. It is theil task to give the performance its trut dramatic and musical value.
 The performance Tuesday night wa. finished in every detail, and the ,shgh delays that occurred at the first stag i ing were all eliminated.
