Butte Patrolman Fatally Shot by Highwayman on Beat
A Butte patrolman, Joseph Freshman, was fatally wounded during a sidewalk holdup near the Steamboat block on South Main. The highwayman, described as a tall stocky man, fired five shots as the officer attempted to challenge him, with the fatal bullet striking the abdomen. Freshman, 58 South Main, died during surgery after lengthy internal injuries. Detective James Byrne later detained suspect Eade Crooke, though innocence is claimed by Crooke’s supporters. The shooting caused a townwide manhunt and numerous arrests as authorities sought to restore order.
