POLICE NEWS,
A Foot Race Which Actually Took
q. 7..Fei-f afs - Place. .t .a. .r .a....

There was . fight at Kuhwoith's brewery
night before last between one Sancho,a mi
ner, and another gentleman who was also
devoting himself considerably to the worship
of Baechus. They were both arrested for
disorderly conduct, and their cases investi-
gated in the Police Court yesterday. Sancho
was fined $40 and costs and his friend dis
missed. This day was indeed an agrseably
varied one for the authorities. One of the
alert and active municipal officers of Butte
felt so tired of the dizziness of the day-not
having arrested any one for fully fifteen min
utes-that he strolled up to q Broadway
brewery just in time to see one sinful son of
Adam club another sinful ditto over the
head. The offender recognizing the officers
legs-as he afterwards confessed-took to
flight instantly, ran out of a back door with
the officer at full speed after him, and at
tempted to CLIMB over the back fence. The
top plank broke and back he tunbled, but the
officer was SO full--of laughter, that he did
not grab him as he fell. Away they went,
neck and neck, with the odds freely Of
fered that the rat with the shortest tail would
get in the hole first. As a desperate resolve
the fugitive sinner ruined his digestion for
ever by slipping into a neighboring sleeping
room and crawling under a bedstead which IL
just six inches high by actual mt.
With the aid OF several jack-screws and =
building committee the structure was ele-
vated and the man captured.
Finally, another man who INDUCED IN a
most reprehensible practice, which Is distinct
ly forbidden by the most violated of all the
ordinances, paid twenty-five dollars for his
indiacretion.

REAL ESTATE REVIEW.
Week Ending November II, 1881.

The real estate market has been very &C.

probability that the present activity will con-
tinue through the winter. Two important

At an early hour yesterday morning an un-
won.ed mir OF festivity was noticed IN the unus-
ualiy grave Police Court, and It soon became
evident that something of special significance
was about to take place. Wreaths Of deiicate-
hued flowers and exquisitely scented boquets
might have been cen OH the massive desks
and ratings, and around the sombre walls
which usually echo only to the Departing
cry 81 am guilty"-as some miserable Offend
'er is about to be hurried away to the Hotel
the windows, and the Judge sat behind the
railing clothed in the majesty of the law and
his Sunday suit. As the wedding procession
filed in the front door. the ditsant sound Of
the tom-tom and the low musical gurgle of
the gum-gum seemed a fit accompaniment.
The bride was clad in blue corded satin trows-
ers, the folds of which allowed a peep at the
delicate foot and embroidered stocking which
emerged above a dainty silk sandal. The
groom was most adorned by his manly beau
ty-set off considerably however by a maroon
satin tunic and r%esplendent trousers which
were only surpassed ia splendor by
those of the bride. As they stood-blushing
a deep Observation-Disclosures the august tribunal,
the interpreter having been first duly sworn,
reared his massive proportions between them
and commenced chewing the brides ear in a
mysterious manner. The sole am formula OF
the marriage service was translated into tie
musical tongue Of the Flowery K~ingdom--in
which it sounded like Jun yum, ia da tn ia
ia, Ia da da da, yum yum,-the twain were
pronounced one flesh, and the bride was kiss
ed by The groom-and the officiating magis-
trate. Several times during the ceremony the
bride gave way to the bubbling merrinient
which seemed to fill her soul. She is the her.
oine of the haLchet tt agedy last week, and Is
now the property OF her purchaser by the
laws of the United States as well as those OF

Suicide by Morphine Of Inez May
aal.aru bert on Park Street. ,..q

'# B. t. va - stt Ua E...HFtr 81 .
At five o'clock yesterday afternoon a young
woman in this city died from an overdose of
morphine. Behind this plain statement of
facts turks = romance, woven of mans cruel
ty and woman's shame, in which the despair
Of a heart broke n girl finally drives her to de-
stroy a life which had ceased to be, other than
a continual agony. At a wellknown house
on Park street an inquest was held last night,
and a verdict returned of death from an over
dose of morphine. DR.. I thompson, the Cor
oner, summoned the following jurymen: j.
q. Baker, B.. Mckinley, John O'Meara, Il.
Mclaughlin, j. j. Gable and Walter Eddy.
The language of such a verdict is mysteri-
ously suggestive of many possibilities Of good
or evil, but as regards lnez Maybert, it is
known with reasonable certainty that her
rash act was caused by the seorn of a man
she loved. As she lay yesterday afternoon
10 an almost dyi ng condition she called coll
~tinually on the name of a man about town
who was at one time her friend, but who, it
is said, had maltreated her of late. Word was
sent to him, but he il. said to have answered
with an angry oath. After death an ounce
bottle of morphine, nearly empty, and a note
were found on the body. The note was ad-
dressed to Gussie-a friend with whom Inez
had passed her last night, and was in sub
stance as follows: ,t.
To Gussie--I want you to do as you always
SAID you would bury me all in black. Tell
-. /tha many 1a ,nnu thanh hi,psAlf for
this. If there is any uch thing as haunting
l will haunt him to his death-bed. INEZ.
The facts are that the deceased had been
drinking heavily for 'some days, and attempt
ed to kill herself, with morphine, but vas
prevented by several of her male friends, in
whose cabin she was at the time. The en-
suing night she spent with her friend Gussie,
whose testimony threw much light on the
matter. About nine o'clock yesterday morn
ing Inez arose, and instead Of going to her
v room, as she said she intended doing
sent a Chinanan uptown for laudanum. 1t
is supposed that she took the laudanuln
about eleven O'Clock. About two o'clock her
friend Gussie found her lying on a sofa, in
a helpless condition, and breathing very
heavily. Gussie supposed her drunk,
and did not become alarmed until about three
O'Clock when a physician wa. sent for, but it
was too late. After having called for a man
already alluded to, as long a. she could speak
she became insensible and died about five p

A Sad Case.

Mrs. Mary Burial, living on Twen-
tieth street, complains, and justly too,
of the treatment which her son Dick re-
ceiyes at the hands OF the boys in that
locality. Dick is twenty-four years Of
age, very weak minded and also subject
10 tits when greatly excited, and then
for three or four days afterward is 50
stupid as to be almost helpless. The
boys gre atty annoy him, calling after
him "cIazy Dick, pulling his clothes,
etc, till the poor fellow becomes furious
and will stone his tormentorS or do
slmOst anything that comes in his mind.
Mrs. Burial greatly felrs that in one
Of these passions he may unwittinglY

il the death OF some one. She
charges, too, that this bad treat.
lnent of her son goes on in
the street where she thinks it cannot
help but be seen by the police. On one
occasion, some years ago, he was arrest
ed for trying to defend himself from his
tormentOrs and was struck q heavy
blow across the face with the officers
mace, knocking him down and injuring
him so that ne was carried home bleed
ing and in fit. The boy is harmless and
will disturb no one unless abused. Such
being the ca e, il is certainly fair that the
boy should be let alone; or that those
who persist in their ungentlemanly
treatment should be punished.
