He died a few hours after the battle. He was an Irishman: most of the spectators being English, and triumphing in the victory of their countryman, the poor fellow's fate was scarcely noticed. I spoke to him a little while before he died, and found that he came from my own county. His name was Michael Noonan.
She knows that the saloon is her enemy, and she hits it; and Pat Noonan, seeing this rise of women investigating industry, makes common cause with Martin Jaffry and the whole employing class of Whitewater against the nosey interference of women. "And Pat Noonan is depending on you," continued Evans. "He expects you to rise.
Penfield Evans and George Remington, standing in the hall, listened to these words with terror in their hearts. "Get Noonan first," said George. "I'll talk to him." In five seconds Evans had Noonan's residence. Remington listened to Penny's voice. "Gone," he was saying. "Gone where?" And then: "Why, he was at the dinner last -What's Doolittle's number?"
