Section: War-Time Distrubances in Butte
On the morning of August 2 [1917], Frank H. Little, and I. W. W. organizer, was taken from his hotel room, put in an automobile, conveyed to a railroad trestle outside the city and hanged by six masked men. Although Governor Stewart and other public men received threatening letters, no attempt was made to punish the perpetrators of this crime. Public sentiment probably would have made conviction impossible even if officials had made the arrests. Little had given offense by his reference to soldiers as "Uncle Sam's scabs in uniform" during the speech he made on July 18.
