Northern Pacific officials inspect Butte depot plan
President Mellen and a party of Northern Pacific executives arrived by special train to discuss a possible union depot in Butte. Mellen indicated support for a joint depot if feasible but favored building an independent station if union access would be too costly or impractical. He and the committee examined sites, with ongoing surveys to determine best location and cost considerations.

Runaway Swedish Boys Tracked From Butte Streets to Jails
Ten police officers captured two young boys who wandered from a train onto the streets of Butte. The youngsters, believed to be sons of Swedes named Johan Herbert and Johnnie Andersen, were found behind a woman on a Missoula-bound train and eventually housed in the city jail after therapists and officers failed to get clear answers. They wandered through alleys and streets before being returned to custody, fed, and kept warm at the county jail where no relative claim was made. The notice concludes with an advertisement for Orton Bros piano and organ sales at 719 North Main Street.
