W.. Bryant, the Contractor. Leaves Home and
His Creditors In the Lurch
For several days II has been known that
w. y. Bryant, the well-known contractor,
had left the city and number OF creditors.
His total indebtedness amounts to some
thing over s2,700 and the assets will figure
up but few hundred dollars. Several at
tachment suits have been filed. the largest
by Kirkendall, Larson h Keefe for 5000.
They have found but few effects 3" attach,
but are ahead OF other creditors, IL Is
claimed. IL was not known that Bryanrs
affairs were In a shaky condition, his own
family being as Ignorant 0f his financial
troubles as any one In the city. Last Sun
day night he left home, and as he did not
return his wife became alarmed and began
nm unavaillng search Tor him next morning.
In the afternoon Mrs. Bryant received a
letter from her husband, who was In Butte,
lnclosing the deed 70 their homestead.
From friend OF Mrs Bryant II Is learned
that In this letter her husband bade her an
affectlonate farewell, as he would by the
time the letter reached her be on his way
TO the Pacific coast. from where he expect
ed TO sail tor South America, and II sue,
cessful in rec0uping his fortunes would
send for her. He said he left Helena be-
cause he was unable TO pay his debts, hay
ing squandered the money which rightfully
belonged 10 his creditors. The amount
owed, he said, was $1,000, and IL was use
less for him 10 attempt 10 pay Ii.
Bryant secured several large contracts
from the city government list spring and
summer and, a Is claimed, made money by
them all, though some as, ,ert he lost money
on removing the street car rails on Main
street. which were taken up In order 10
build the sewer, and also In laying the
street car track on Rodney street. But II
is known that he made great deal OF
money In grading contracts, enough 10
have repaid him for any los yes he may
have suffered, and leave a nice balance on
the right side Of the ledger.
What Bryant did with his money is not
known. He was quiet In demeanOr and OF
q sensitive disposition, but genial and
pleasant with all he met. He did not
drink TO excess nor gamble. and was looked
upon As steady and industrious man, at
tending strictly TO his own affairs, and was
supposed 10 be comfortably fixed In this
worlds goods. His home. worth upwards
OF 1000, which Is In his wife's name, has
q mortgage upon II OF $500. This property
can not be touched by his creditors. When
Bryant left home he left but seventy
cents In the house, but as Mrs. Bryants
parents live here she is not In want Bry-
ant had q great many friends. who are con

FLOQUET WINS.



PARIS, Jan. sO.-Floquet In receiving the
bureau Of the extreme left, said he had con-
sidered the advisabillty OF resigning, but
had abandoned the idea, deciding 10 face
the .,trigues and attacks of his opponents,
and would ask the chamber for vots OF
confidence. A bill re establishing the
scrutin d'arrondlssement system In cleo
tions will be announced upon the opening
Of the chamber tomorrow.
In the chamber today Jouvencal inter
pellated the government regarding the
measures II intended 10 take 70 arrest the
progress OF Boulangerism. The govern
ment ought 10 defend itself from the At
tacks OF slanderers. Premier Floquet, before
replying, asked leave 70 introduce bill re-
establishing the scrutin darrondissement
system In elections Deputy ID. Ornano,
Bonapartlst, exclaimed: "The only posi-.
Cazzsux, member OF the right nsked leave
10 speak on the matter OF urgency. The
president decided the house must hear
floquet, and great confusion ensued.
Floquet held the establishment OF the
scrutin d'arrondissement system would In
no way assail universal suffrage. The
government did not think measures ought
10 be taken against the liberty OF the press,
but were bound 10 legisiate against those
seeking 10 oyerturn the republic. The ex-
isting laws dealing with hostile combina-
tions were inadequate. The government
would propose fresh measures for the re.
preston OF attempts against the security OF
the state. Universal suffrage had become
the tool OF all eoris OF commercial combinA-
tions, through syDdicates operating
through paid bands OF agltators. CassAg.

universal suffrage, and said IL was now the
right upon whom fell the duty OF
defending the suffrage against the govern.

the test word. The situation for the minis,
Try could be summed up In the phrase.

debate Montaut presented . motion that
the house, confident In the frmness OF the
government, passes 10 the order OF the day
