A wCMAN'S STORY.
Escaped from the Insane Asylum
and Trying to Reach
Her Friends.

The ghosts and COLLINS mentioned

haunting the vicinity of the Clipper

very intelligent, though perhaps
slightly demented woman and her
Titles girl, eleven years of age. Sheriff
Irwin found them at the wood raEch
of Mr.. McMul'en, in the canyon east
of the Clipper. mill. The woman
gives her name as Amelia A. Hawk
ms, aud tells a pitiful story of her
wrongs and sufferings in Montana.
she relates that she came to Butte
from Salt Lake a year and a half ago.
She struggled with adversely in this
city Tor some months, trying to earn
a living for herself and little girl by
going out to work, but being unable
to maintain herself, made her way
by SOW stages, sometimes catching
a ride but walking most of the dis
lance to Bozeman. There she sue
ceeded reasonably we'll for q time,
but was arrested on the charge of in
sanity and committed to the asylum
eight months ago. Her little girl
Was taken charge of by strangers in
Bozeman, but last week her constant
pleadings resulted in the child being
permitted to join her at the asylum.
On last Sunday night she escaped,
and with the little girl, spent three
nights in tramping over the hills from
Warm Springs and hiding about the
ravines in the vicinity of the place at
which she was captured. She tells
some adamantine stories about her
arrest, Imprisonment and treatment
at Warm Springs, which would cre-
ate a decided sensation if the suspi-
cion of insanity did not detract from
tue force Of her narrative, and her
story is characterized by such oircum-
s%tantiallty of detail and told with
such an appearance Of straightfor-
wardness that the listener finds it
difficult to resist the impression of
truthfulness.
The unfortunate woman has reia-
tives in Salt Lake, who are under
stood 70 be willing to care for her
and application has been made to
Governor Crosby for permission to
send her and the child to their
friends. In the meantime the ap-
l,arel of both mother and child show
the effect Of their homeless life dur
ing the past few days, and it would
be a charitable act for some of our
benevolent ladies to interest them
selves in the case, at least to the ex-
tent of providing them with a decent
change of clothing. Temporary
quarters have been furnished them
in the corridor at the c. unity Jail.
