Pioneer Heroes Saved 1000 Women and
Children at 1884 July Fourth Celebration

One thousand people, most of them
women and children, had a narrow es-
cape from death at the Butte Fourth
of July celebration of 1884 when the
roof of the grandstand came crashing
down upon them. The remarkable fea-
ture of the occurrence is that, with the
exception of a little bootblack-Who
risked his life to help a little girl
no one was seriously injured. This
miraculous escape was due in part to
the spirit of the old West as manifested
by the mayor of Butte. William OWsley,
and a number of others, who rushed
under the collapsing roof with bracing
timbers, imperiling their own safety,
like the little bootblack, that others
might not be killed.
Butte didn't have much with which
to celebrate in those days except ora
tory, music, sport and spirit. The big
parade was made up of beer wagons, a
blacksmith'S forge on wheels n a
car of state-apart from a number OF
marching men, firemen, miners and a
couple of bands.
A condensed report of the celebration
as given in a semi-Weekly publication
dated July 9, 1884, reads:
The Fourth of July ceremonies in
Butte were ushered in with a salute OF
38 guns, the hosting of the nations
colors and the playing of the Star
Spangled Banner from the bell tower
OF the schoolhouse. Col. j. G. Thorn
ton was marshal of the day, assisted
by Captain Shepherd, the old Mexican
war veteran. The Alice and Van Or
tons bands furnished the music.
The car of state carried AZ Misses
representing every state and territory
in the Union. Miss Jessie Graham was
the Goddess of Liberty. The Union
Guards, the Leiderkranz society, the
Miners union, the fire companies and
the merchants and the citizens turned
out. Grenier and Co., blacksmiths, had
a wagon with bellows, anvil and forge
and shod a horse all round during the
taking refuge in the hole, was denied

Nobody can tell just how they escaped
from the falling roof. More serious con-
sequences might have followed the
catastrophe were it not for the daring
and foresight of Mayor Owsley and a
few others who, when they saw what
was about to happen, rushed under the
falling sections and braced them with
timbers thus giving those in the back
seats a chance to escape.
In the relay race, between Miss Will
liams and Miss Floyd, another accident
happened. Miss Floyd was thrown and
sustained the loss of n tooth and
the fracture of her jaw at the chin.
The bicycle entries were Will Clark.
c.. H. Richardson, Johnson, Pierce, Da-
wilson and McCune. Clark won, with
Johnson second and Davidson third.
The purse was $500.
A notable fact connected with the
relay race is the time made-not a
single thoroughbred horse in the outfit.
Miss Williams rode 20 miles, changing
horses each mile, in 594 minutes. Miss
Williams horses were provided by Will
liam Warfield and Miss Floyd's by Carr,
RalStOn and others.

CITY PIANIST SCORES BIC
HIT IN NEW YORK RECITAL

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Willard
MacGregor, Indianapolis pianist and
teacher now concertizing here, gave
his second Town Hall recital of the
season this week. A New York
World Telegram critic describes the
concert as fully justified by the
size and response of the audience. 2
For two hours, Mr.. MacGregor
deployed his resources over a wide
program ranging from Mozart to
Ravel, the critic said.
The review follows:
Beginning with a C major sonata
by music's marvellous boy, the plan
list brought to the fore fine sense
OF dynamic balance and generally
clear and ell-modulated tone
Throughout the gurgling flow of
Mozart's irrepresSible tunefulness
Mr.. MacGregor maintained the
right note of spontaneity. Notes
tumbled over one another like peb-
bleS rolling down a hillside.
Pianist at His Best

priateness of style. But he did much

Refuses Dot
Film Colony
Many Movie Stars Prefer to
Hide Lives from PubIic'S
Gaze.
BY PAUL HARRISON

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 6.-The film
colony is full OF refuses. There
has been so much talk about Greta
the Ungregarious and Vanishing
Katie Hepburn and Moody Marlene
that nobody seems to have remarked
the social reticences of some of the
other stars.
Principal difference, of course, be-
tween an eremite like Cantankerous
Kate and a merely quiet person like
the reformed Bing Crosby is that
the merely quiet people do not,
when caught, kick the lenses out of
cameras or hurl autograph albums
into the teeth of collectors. They
surrender with fairly gracious
resignation.
Mr.. Crosby, now, achieves con-
siderable measure of privacy with
OFT so obviously working for it.
Only time he ventures out in pub
lie is when he goes to the races at
Santa Anita to watch his horses
chase all the other horses around
the track.
Crosby Goes to Games
During football season he goes
to some of the games with Dixie
Lee, and without stooges. Attends
few private parties, the smaller,
the better. Divides nearly all his
time between his home in the Sc
cluded Toluca Lake district and his
ranch.
Mae West isn't half as convivial
as you'd guess. Only time she's
seen is at the Friday night prize
fights, and the boxing crowd has
learned to accept her as just one
of the fans. Never goes to parties
or night clubs, or even to dine in
public. And by her order, the set
of "Klondike Lou" has been closed
to visitors.
Charles Ruggles enjoys solitude
SO much that he lives on a ranch in
the San Fernando Valley and keeps
the telephone number a secret from
the studio. When conversation with
Mr.. Ruggles is urgently required,
Lester Elliott, his Man Friday, is
found first. Mr.. Elliott notifies Mr..
Ruggles, and the comedian calls
back.
Nothing They Can Do
All this rigmarole means a good
deal Of wear and tear on the pa
tience of busy executives, but there's
nothing they can do about it.
Except when she travels, Clau-
dette Colbert rarely is seen, and
her recent marriage to the camera
smashing DR.. Joel FRESHMAN may
make her more of recluse than
ever
The shy Miss Hepburn, of course,
tries not to be seen even when she
travels. This exclusiveness admit
tedly is a matter of careful plan
ning-as when, a couple of months
ago, she wagered cool thousand
dollars that she could fly to the
east and back without once being
photographed. She lost that bet,
and paid it. The other party to
the agreement. Hymie Fink, now
has new car.
Within 6. few weeks the movie
customers are to be seeing their
first screen sunset. Heretofore, SUM-
set scenes have been filmed at sun
rise, the early morning air being
clearer and thus more suitable for
black-and-white photography.
