HARD LINES.
Some of the Troubles Of the Suicide,
Josephine ValencOurt.

The woman, Josephine Valencourt, who
committed suicide Sunday and who was
buried Monday, was a cOmely looking
woman and although young had seen con-
siderable trouble. She was born in one of
the Canadian provinces twenty y-eight years
ago and while very young went to San
Francisco, where after a short time she en-
gagged in the variety business, and on ac
count OF her youth and good looks made
decided hit. After working on the stage for
year or so she left for Sacramento where
she entered house OF prostitution. After
remaining there several years she became
tired and headed for Portland. where she
started in business for herself and soon be-
came very popular. Shortly after her ad
vent in Portland she got acquainted with Il
fine looking fascinating barkeeper and
soon after became smitten with him, and
he was consequently installed in the
doubtful position of her lover. So
great was her interest in the man that he
WAS intrusted with the management OF her
business affairs, and as she was making
money at the time this gave him an oppor-
tunity OF playing the rascal. She purchased
house and he had the deed made out
and recorded in his name. She desired
him the money to deposit. He
had two accounts opened, one in
her name and the other in his own. and
after the first day all the deposits wera
credited to him and he made false entries
on her bank book. At another time he
promised to give her set OF diamonds ana
purchased cheap counterfeits, but as she
was suspicious and inquired OF the jeweler
as to their value, he had genuine ones ex
changed. After living with him for several
years they had tho usual quarrel and he
was ordered out Of the house, when much
to her disgust she found that the house be-
longed to him. and her personal effects were
thrown into the street. Satisfied that she
still had her bank account intact the
woman went to the institution to draw it,
only to be informed that there was nothing
to her credit and tha6 she was looked upon
as swind!ar. Broken in heart and purse
she turned her steps towards Butte, and
entered house on Park street, where she
remained for some time, and saved enough
money to return to Canada and visit her
child, who is still alive with her parents.
She soon returned and has lived here since,
but probably on account OF her troubles
she has been very Respondent and took to
dissipation as Il relief. The vial OF NOR
phine finishes the story, save and except
that the grave OF the outcast was decked
by her fallen sisters with plenttude OF
rarest flowers.
