SUPREME GALL.
The Berrys Have the Audac.
ity to Come to Butte.
BUT SOON LEAVE
Because They Are Waited Upon and
Requested to Do SO by Angry
People.

Derry and vile, without living any
place OF residence. appeared upon the reg
lister OF the St. Nicholas yesterday after
loon af}ec the arrival of the train. Soon
after it transpired that the parties were
the eiOPing wife OF the suicide Huyck
and her paramour and that they had been
married the day previous by Rev. Mr..
STANLEY at Anaconda and had left that
city amidst the boots and jeers OF the
throng gathered on the platform at the
depot. Some person more acute thar his
fellow mortals, in g~lancing over the register
recognized who the parties were and the
news OF the arrival spread like wild-fre
through the streets and saloons and soon
reached the depot.
There was but one opinion expressed and
it was that the presence OF the couple here
in their new relation SO soon after the
tragedy they had caused was an exhibition
OF u~nequalled ~effrontery and an insult to
the moral sense of the community to say
nothing of the feelings OF the friends of the
dead husband. There were many impre-
cations hurled at them which though not
loud were deep, and if the sentiment Of
nine tenths OF the people could have been
chrystalized into acts, the guilty pair in
stead Of enjoying the comforts OF a hotel
wouldsoon lave been writhing in a coat Of
tar and feathers.
A
Finslly a party OF men, all sober, but all
seemingly determined, and most of them
evidently friends OF the dead Huyck. met
by accident and after talking the matter
over, suddenly reached the conclusion, that
it would not be right to use any violence in
the case yet there was hardly enough room in
Butte for the twain who had so previously
sinned and had failed to show any signs Of
repentance. Under the circumstances the
best thing that presented itself to their
minds was to wait upon the Berrys at the
hotel, notify them to leave forthwith and if
they refused to AVE cou to more radi-
cal measures. To decide upon it was to
carry the plan into effect, and in a few
moments the lobby OF the hotel was
crowded with the party and a demand
made to see the unwelccme guests.
LEGAL INTERFERENCE.
The clerk in charge was nonplussed n
alarmed. He did not n exactly a
the visit was for, and dreaded a scene in
the house, but in the trying juncture relief
came in the shape of County Constable En-
gel, who had caught onto the scheme, and
| who made up his mind there should be no
trouble if it was possible to avoid it. He
quietly made known his official capacity,
| urged upon the crowd the necessity OF using
due caution, and not committing any
breach OF the. peace and offered if they
would leave the hotel and disperse that he
would wait upon the couple, tell them OF
the demand for their Immediate absence
and convey an answer to the party, This
was accepted and the scene changed from
the lobby to the sidewalk as a place oil gath
ering and to the hotel parlor as a place OF
consultation. The officer met the bride and
groom there and frankly stated the situa-
ton, which they seemed to take in at a
| glance, and they at once agreed that the
best thing they could do would be to
LEAVE Az SOON AS POSSIBLE.
The news was conveyed to the crowd, which
had considerably augmented, yet they did
not seem to be satisfied. They wanted to
be sure the city was rid of the Berrys, and
there were some few mutterings OF worse
treatment. In fact. about that time a
leader was all that was needed to make
serious trouble. Engel again asked the
crowd to disperse, which they did by sep.
arating into small groups and moving to
convenient localities on the opposite side OF
the street and at the corners. In the mean
time the objects of this solicitude were being
made painfully aware OF the TACT tha'
there is
NO REST FOR THE WICKED.
They were frightened and anxious to gel
away and in a short time a carriage was
secured and a safe exit was made by the
pair, who were soon whirling away to SOM
new destination. As all danger was over
the crowd was notified that they had left
but as they were still skeptical they were
dispersed by Chief Meiklejohn and ohce'
Mcdonald and quiet reigned.
In this connection it may be said thai
friends OF Huyck Indignantly deny tn
story hat he had once ran away VIII
the wife OF a friend and a letter has beer
written to his father in Iowa for an au
thoritive denial OF what they claim Is {
malicious libel on the dead. DIR. Stanley
who married the couple, also wishes i
stated that he did not know who the!
were or he would not have performed tn
ceremony.
