Aug. 2 – On this day in Montana
history in 1917 labor organizer Frank Little was found hanging from a trestle
under a bridge in Butte. A 3-7-77 vigilante warning was attached to his body.
Although it remains officially an unsolved murder, thousands of workers turned
out for Little’s funeral and had no doubt that the Anaconda Company was behind
it.
