Italian foreman run out of town amid masked assault
Charles Menconi, an Italian foreman for Montana Ore Purchasing, was escorted from Butte by a crowd of about 24 to 30 men who allegedly worked for the firm. He was blindfolded and driven beyond the city, told to move on, then released with $1.50, after which he returned to Meaderville. Deputy sheriff Joseph Lasgard investigated, arresting Alex MacNeill briefly as rumors spread, while Menconi claimed American workers were being replaced by foreigners. His mother fears for his life as the incident stirs tensions.
