 The McMillans were unable to offer any money for the blood and the phy- sicians predicted the death of Mrs. McMilan within 24 hours, was then that Dr, J. W. Miller thought of the radio and obtained permission from Station WIFI to broadcast an appeal yesterday.
 In the meantime Walter Speese, marine attached to the department of supplies, who had previously given blood to Mrs. McMillan. heard she needed more and went 10 the hospital to offer himself again.
 When doctors declared his condition was too weak to permit another transfusion, he went to his buddy" Joseph T. Murray. another marine, explained the case, and together they returned 10 the hospital. Murray of 'ered to give his blood.
 A test will be taken and if his blood is of the same class as Mrs. McMillan's they will permit the trans fusion. This, they say, will give Mrs McMillan more than a fighting chance 10 recover.

his death.
BY few men in a profession that is
notably open hearted has Mr.. SUIT
ton been equalled In impulsive gem

but his shrewdness was forgotten
when any report OF need or misfor-
tune came to him. No Snowman OF
high or low degree considered trip
to the Montana cities complete with
out calling on "Uncle Dick, not
necessarily for favor, In most
cases, although there were few OF
them who did not have occasion to
mention past favors when they greet

were occasions for "reminiscences

CURED a far-away look in his eye and
began to chuckle. A reporter was
on the scene and asked, whats the
joke. Uncle Dick?"
II was just thinking of couple
of fellows who Joined our Tom
show once,' replied Uncle Dick.
''They came late In the afternoon,
and / showed them what they we're
to do chasing Eliza across the ice.
None of the Others were there for
rehearsal, and / forgot to tell them
about the hounds. That night the
tent was pretty we'll filled, and the
young fellows blinked as they came
out In front of the footlights. The
audience Uttered, and just then the
dogs howled as they started for the
stage. One of the young fellows
gasped, Gee, we must be rotten
when they set dogs on u.s. and the
two made a dive from the stage, ran
through the aisle and were last seen
disappearing in cornfield across
the road. That's the last heard OF
them"
AS he finished his story with a
chuckle, an usher from the Orpheum
came across the street. Say, Mr.
Sutton" he announced, there's q
couple Of headliners over at the Or
pheum that want to see you."
Send 'em over here, son." he re-
piled.
The two dapper thespians put in
an appearance right away. II guess
you don't know us, Uncle Dick,
said one OF them, but you ought to
remember the time the dogs chased
us into the cornfield. 1t took loi

coast by the people of the stage, from
the foremost stars to the curtain
raisers of vaudeville and burlespue.
In Butte his name was connected
with the old Family theatre. the old
Grand, the Broadway and the EN-

alton, which booked all the stellar
road shows on their transcontinent-

Born In Kentucky.
'Uncle Dick" was 10 years old
and was a native of Lexington, Ky.
He began his career as an entertain

winning prestige as dancer. In
his travels he landed at Ottumwa,
Iowa, where he organized transfer
business and built hotel, also as

house. His next step was the organ
ization Of a road show to play Uncle
Toms Cabin" travelling by special
car, and 1t was with this organiza-
ton that he first came to Butte, Mon
tana, 80 years ago. Realizing the
possibilities at Butte, he decided to
stay, and his troupe went on with
out him. He met success in the min
ing city and in his time he built
four theatres in that city. His first
venture was vaudeville house,
known as the Family theatre. Later,
hesecured the Grand Opera House,
which had been the leading theatre
Of Butte. He directed the building
OF the Broadway theatre there, and
later the Lulu theatre, which was
afterwards named the Empress.
With the growing popularity OF
vaudeville, Mr.. Sutton became inter

circuit and brought the Orpheum
vaudeville to Butte, in association
with this circuit.
He also became owner of the
