STEALING A GIRL.
Her Parents Accuse Three Parties Of
Abductfng their Daughter.

Sheriff Sullivan left for Beaverhead
county, on Sundays train, to arrest
A:J: Noyes, formerly of Bu@te, on a charge
OF abducting a fourteen-year-old girl, the
daughter OF Nicholas Ayres, a miner, resid-
ing on wyoming street near Copper, in this
city, and employed at Anaconda. The
complaint was filed before Judge Irvine on
sunday morning. Mr.. Ayres also stated in
MS complaint that George Noyes, a black
smith, sand his wife, of Butte, were con-
cerned in the abduction, but up to a late
hour last night neither OF the parties had
been arrested,
MIR. Ayres says that the girl was abducted
early last August, and that since that time
he has not laid eyes on his daughter. His
statement is as follows: ",My daughter
was employed at the Edwards boarding
house, in the upper part of the town, just
east OF Moin street. My wife became i'll and
sent Tor Mary, who. answered the
but returned to the boarding house on the
first opportunity. l went after her myself
on the 10th OF August and was told that
she had left the house and was with Mr.,
Noyes who resided close to the boarding
house. / called on Noyes. He admitted
That the tilrl was there, but said that she
didn't want to go home and that he
wouldn't not let her be taken away agrinst
her will. applied to The authorities, but
could get no relief. The girl was taken
away, and [ did not hear anything of her
until last April. Then a friend of mine, a
miner named NJ. J. Warren. wrote to me
from Salmon river, Idaho, that my daugh-
ter was with a man named AL. Noyes, for
merly OF Butte, within three miles of Wis
dom, Beaverhead county; that Ayres had
stated that he was keeping her for a man
named Prout, said to be a very hard case.
My friend said hat he did not know
whether the girl was kept there against her
will or not, but he urged me to get my poor
Mary out OF the clutches of Ayres
but warned me not to go after her
AS l would likely have
considerable difficulty in getting the girl
away. Shortly afterwards l received sew
eral letters from Mary, saying that she
would be sent home as soon as. the high
had subsidized, so as to allow her 70
cross the river. | am OF the opinion that
the girl wants to come home, but is not al
to do So, and that the statements in
her letters were made under cOmpulsion.
Hence l made the complaint, charging
.yres with the abduction OF my daughter
The sheriff intends to bring the girl back
ot Butte.

Professor Riley says the seventeen-ycar
locusts, whose visit he has predicted, are
harmless to the growing crops, and 10 no
injury except to twigs of the forest and
fruit trees. Wherever young orchards have
been planted on land which has been clear
ed during the last seventeen years, the trees
are liable to suffer somewhat, but it is
probable that Kerosene spray will protect
them. The ordinary locust, which is so
destructive to growing crops, has jaws
which cut, while the seventcen-year specie,
more properly called cicada, has only il
beak, through which he sucks his noUrisll-
ment.

HBull Butter' Must Go.

WASHINGTON, May 20. Commissioner
Coleman, being anxious to obtain all the
facts possible pertaining to the dairy indus
try of the coutry and particularly respect
ing the manufacture of articles designed for
pure butter, butterine, swine, parola and
like compounds, has prepared IL circular to
manufacturers OF dairy products. 1t is his
wish to place before Congress and the c6un-
try /; complete statement OF the factory
produce OF cheese and butter, as well as
their adulterated imitation, and he sug-
gests the propriety OF making monthly rec
ords OF work of.each manufactures in that
returns may be made more readily for such
time as may be deemed best to aggregate
the result. October, he says, being the
month when cheese making declines, it may
be decided to nave all the returns OF butter
and cheese production then, allowing six
months for the dairy season. This would
better determine the comparative produc-
ton of one State with another as in the
summer months the condition OF food will
be more uniform, cows consuming alike
natural grasses.

rendered IL reception this afternoon by the
members OF the Chamber of Commerce,

ISOLATION. In replying to an address Of

both these metals may be coined free; that
they may be deposited in the United States
Treasury in exchange for honey certificates,
and that both shall be SO adjusted that
they may travel all over the world equal
to each other in every land. To accom-
plish this silver must be purchased, coined
and paid out at market rates or received
on deposit at market rates, and paper
money issued for it.. This will give Il BIZ
metallic money, good not only in San
Francisco, but in New York, London and
all other parts OF the world. Sherman
