A holdup was a holdup in the
early days of Nevada, just the same
as in Montana, so when, in 1879,
the late George Sproule, for many
years clerk of the United States
district court for Montana, met a
man on the trail just outside Vir-
ginia City, New, who he thought
held them up. While doing S % he
also told the man that he had no
money on his person and nothing
whatever of value except a pair
Of gold cuff buttons. Encouraged
by the others silence, he lowered
his hands sufficiently to unfasten
the cuff buttons from his shirt
sleeves, and that lone handed them
over. He then proceeded on his way
unmolested, leaving his accOster
standing in the dark.
who lived two miles from the mining
camp, and a returning too the hotel
where he wa living when he met the
mar to whom he gave his cuff buttons.
The buttons were made of SIS gold
pieces, diverse sides of which were
polished and engraved with his initials.
Although Mr.. Sproule priced them
highly he did not hesitate to part with
them under the circumstances.
The next day while eating dinner at
the hotel he was amazed to see his
cuff buttons in the shirt sleeves of the
mar sitting opposite him at the table.
His appetite suddenly left him and he
hurried through the meal, went into
the hotel office and informed the clerk
of the incident of the night before and
told him of the presence of the man
now wearing the cuff buttons. Together
they waited for him.
When the stranger emerged from the
dining room he walked straight to
You are Mr.. Sproule, are you not?"
That is my name, sir"
The fellow then asked Sproule to
step into the barroom as he wished to
speak with him in private. Sproule,
although justifiably suspicious, felt
that he certainly was safe in broad
daylight and among his friends, and
went along.
a fellow whom I asked for a chew of
tobacco. He threw up his hands, said
he had nothing but a pair of gold cuff
buttons, which he hastily took off and
gave to me. He was shaking like a leaf.
I was dying to laugh, but inaSmuch
as he had mistaken me for a holdup
artist. I thought I would let the joke
go through.
Il saw his face as he handed me
his jewelry. After he ran away down
the road I sat down on a rock and
laughed myself sick. But I didn't get
my chew of tobacco. Today I waited
until you came to dinner, then purposely
put on the cuff buttons and sat OPP
posite you where you would be sure to
see them. Here they are" and he
handed them to Sproule.
When Sproule explained to the hotel
clerk, later, he said: by George, I

Use Steam Motors
Ground was broken for the new line
in Aug. %, 1887. On Sept. 81, after a
hard struggle, the street railway COM
motors on the city street for a period
of three months. The company was re-
quired to give bond, however, to pro-
tect those whose horses might become
frightened by the strange device and
run away causing injury.
Heaters were put in the street cars
on Dec. IL. 1887, and the next day the
first car to pass over the streets of
Butte and Meaderville made the trip,
although cars had been in operation
in the city of Butte beginning Oct.
The first cars to operate were horse
drawn, a temporary arrangement, as
shown by Nelson BENEFITS statement,
already quoted, which was made after
his agents had visited cities east and
west to check on the methods of street
transportation. 1t was conceded that
the Walkerville hill was too tough a
climb for a horse and that teams were
not speedy enough for the trip to
Meaderville and Columbia gardens,
hence the steam engines which were
to be used until electricity could be
installed.
The Mantle Line
Notwithstanding BENEFITS plans,
Lee Mantel preceded him in introduce
ing electricity. The Mantle line ran
from Arizona street to the old Braund
House which was located southeast of
the point where the railway tracks
cross East Mercury street; it was a
two-car affair. Bennett took over the
Mantle line, electrified the system n
threw the steam engines aside. One of
them rusted away IN Mercury street
just east of Arizona. 1t was still to be
seen in the late COS.
The cable line to Walkerville was
started in 1889. The Miner OF July 4
of that year says:
The building Of the long promised
cable line to Walkerville was let yes
terday by the Street Railway company
to Vogel and Mcintosh, who will begin
work at once The road bed will be of
the Vogel and Mcintosh system similar
to the one now building in Tacoma by
Nelson Bennett. The road will consist

The first street railway manager was
George Congdon, who afterwards re-

motorman on the Floral park line. His
employment dates from 1893. He had
charge of supplies when the cable road
was electrified.
The fare on the first street cars was
Is cents. On Nov. 4, 1887, a fare of
