I was speaking (writing)about David Oglethorpe, notorious do-badder in Butte from 1871 to 1927. HE was also the guy who lit the fuses for the dynamite that blew up the union hall, HE was the guy behind the Frank Little incident, HE was guy who caused at least six of the mine "disasters" in Butte. He was Henry Plummer's boss and was called "The Mastermind of the Mines." Although he worked hand-in-glove with Clark, Daly, Heinze, and Standard Oil. He mysteriously vanished in 1927 while standing under an ore chute.
