Butte County Attorney Defends Local Character Amid Crime Talk
Coming from a legal insider, Attorney Matt Canning near retirement challenges the notion that Butte residents are inherently criminal. He cites his records showing 80 percent of offenses in Silver Bow are by transient visitors, while true Butte residents remain law abiding. He notes fair treatment from local press and courthouse reporters as mutually cordial. Flour costs rise in Venezuela but bakery competition lowers bread prices locally.

Illuminated Electricians Ball Dazzles Butte Crowd
The Butte local of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers staged an Illuminated Ball at the Coliseum on South Montana Street. Some 6 000 electric lights created a spectrum show while hundreds of lanterns and bright stars lined the interior. The event wrapped up two days of festivities as operators activated novel electric effects throughout the hall. Outside, string lights glowed along the street for blocks, and interior decor featured Japanese lanterns and incandescent stars. Meanwhile, in El Paso a court martial in the Eighth Ohio Infantry condemned Richard Dixon to one month confinement and two-thirds pay for three months, as Brig. Gen. George Bell Jr. toured the camp amid a protest by 400 members of the regiment.
