hours, on the old White Sulphur
Springs Rocky Mountain Husbandman,
of which r. N. Sutherlin was the editor
and publisher for more than so years
and which newspaper at n time had
a circulation of 1900, at that time the
largest circulation of any newspaper
in Montana territory.
During part Of the time that he
was in school, and afterwards, Mr..
Cooney was associated with his father
in the cattle business and in placer
mining. He later settled in Wickes,
where he engaged in business on his
own account. WickeS at that time was
a f1ourishing mining camp.
Later MI. Cooney went to Butte
where he became engaged in news
paper work on the old Montana Spec
tator and later as a member OF the
Butte staff Of the Anaconda Standard,
In 1896 he went to Great Falls to man.
age the branch office at that time
maintained there by the Anaconda
Standard, but after three years re-
signed his position to become city editor
of the Great Falls Leader, OF which
he afterwards, became editor and part
owner, in which capacities he contin-
ued for many years.
Postmaster Two Terms
Mr.. Cooney filled the position of
both manager and editor of the paper
until 1907 when he was appointed
postmaster of Great Falls by President
Roosevelt, a position to which he was
reappointed by President Taft, serving
two full terms.
Mr.. Cooney served in the first legis-
lature after Montana was admitted to
statehood, being a representative from
Jefferson county. In 1898 he was first
elected to the house of representatives
from Cascade county.
Candidate For Governor
At the republican state convention
in 1912 he was a candidate for the
nomination for governor and was de-
feated by only a very narrow margin.
He was also a candidate for the same
nomination in the primary election OF
1916 when he was again defeated.
On Nov. II, 1890, Mr.. Cooney was
married to Miss Georgia Day, daughter
of George w. Day, a pioneer lumber
man and miller of Minneapolis, who
established the first flour mill at the
falls of st. Anthony. Mrs. Cooney
died several years ago. To them were
born three children, one OF whom died
In infancy; another of whom, Eugene
b., the first born, met an accidental
death by drowning in the Missouri
river in 1905 when he was IA years
old, and Louise, born at Butte, who
died at Boulder when she was l6 years
old.

fered more sorrows than usually come
to the average man, in the death OF
his children and his wife, but despite
that no one ever heard him lament.
His grief was his own and he never

crosby and good humor, and the bright
and witty sayings which have during
the last two years made his "Splinters'
column in the Leader SO popular re-
flected in a large part his philosophy
of life.
Mr.. Cooney is survived by his mother,
Mrs. Thomas Cooney of Helena; by
five brothers, Thomas, George, Alfred,
Fred, and DR.. A. S. Cooney, all Of Hell

BUTTE
MAY BE SAVED
HALTS CONDEMNATION
PROCEEDINGS
Old Adobe Building. Believed First of
Kind In Montana, 60 Years Ago
Housed Merchandise Establishment

Attempt to secure the razing of
one of the oldest buildings in Butte
as a fire hazard was temporarily
halted when Judge William L. Car
roll took under advisement the suit
of the state of Montana by its fire
marshal, w. G.. Brooks, against Lizzie
Matthews for the condemnation of a
building on West Aluminium street.
Relic of the earliest days of the city
when scarcely a half dozen cabins
nestled in the valley that is now Butte,
the building, constructed of adobe, vas
in its time one of the busiest stores
in the great Montana territory. Built
some time in the early '70's, it is be-
lieved to be the first house in the ter
ritory entirely constructed Of adobe,
following the practice Of the early days
in the southwest.
Sixty years ago the building housed
the general merchandise and grocery
store of w. q. Pfouts, an early day
Butte pioneer. The store served the
handful of miners who lived in Butte
and also scores of placer miners and
ranchers who drove in miles to buy
their supplies.
Now it stands alone and forlorn, its
wooden shutters Tapping dismally in
the wind, the once sturdy door broken
off the heavy hand-Wrought hinges,
the iron hasp and oaken cross bar
which made. it secure, broken and
stolen. The door, fashioned of heWed
logs, is still in good repair although
here and there are rot holes where
the mice, which are now the sole ten
ants of the place, scurry to cover when
an intruder steps to the door.
The building was ordered condemned
some two months ago following an in
spection trip of the state fire marshal
through the city.
Judge Carroll, interested in the struc-
ture as an object of historical value
and n Of the first buildings in Butte,
took the matter of ordering it CON
demned under Amusement pending the
possibilities OF securing its repair and
retention as a historical monument.

Hull was formed at Fort Pierre IN "a

rougher than old Coulson, accorolng
to Mr.. Shannon.
During the two years that they were
at Fort Pierre, every establishment IN
the town was robbed at least once. Inc
two partners had screened of q section

bedroom. If, during the night, anyone

The idea was that If the visitor
started to hold up the place, Shannon
VAS to drop to the floor while Hull
gave the vil-intentioned one the full
benefit of the gun. Fortunately, per-
haps, for the partners, they were never
obliged to resort to the use of the
scheme for showing bandits a rough
time. 1T was a nerve-wracking ordeal
to wait on a customer at night" Mr..
Shannon confessed.
