An ANACONDA ROMANCE.

Athletic Brother the Characters.

A Lovesick Swain, Girl Ditto, and an
Athletic Brother the Characters.
A little more tnan q week ago has
elapsed since Maggie M. daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. Phil McGovern, OF Anaconda,
disappeared. All efforts to find the young
lady proved futile, until her brother Ed,
described as anything but a consumptive
young man, donned the black paint and
started on the war path, first making
"medicine' so that the 'Great Spirit" might
help him and lead him on to the right trail.
w. A. Bowden, employed as q machinist
by the Anaconda company for several
years, was also missing, the date OF his dis
appearance, as near as could be learned,
being even with that which caused gloom
and sorrow to fall upon the house OF
McGovern.
This was q clue, a slight one, it is true,
for the athletic Ed, but it sufficed and the
efficacy Of his medicine" asserted itself, for
the lost Maggie and the missing Bowden
were found by him at Spokane Falls, just
as they were about to board the train Tor
Tacoma. It is said the irate brother, in
language SO plain that it's purport could
not be mistaken, told Bowman that he
and the girl had better join him in little
stroll to justice where an impromptu
wedding would be the next thing in order.
The young couple laughed at him and
told him that such an event had already
transpired, and in proof of their assertion
showed him q marriage certificate, made
up in due form and embellished with
great, big seal. This did not satisfy Ed,
who thought there might be some She
naneegan in the matter, and insisted that
another marriage take place, and that in
couple before Justice, who, as it happened
had really married them and he showed
Ed proof conclusive OF the fact.
Ed was now satisfied and left the couple
to pursue their journey, while he returned
to Anaconda.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bowden will remain at Ia
coma for several weeks and will then return
to Anaconda to receive congratulations o
friends.

A Judge Recommends that Special Ses-
sion of the Legislature be Called.
CHICAGO, June 19.-Judge Prendergast
this NOR ming rendere his decision in the
matter Of an investigation into the affairs
Of the Cook county insane asylum. The
decision is long one, but it's simple idea is
expressed in the Judges reference to the po-
litical influence which has been allowed to
control the asylum.
The institution must be removed from
the influences OF partisanship," says Judge
Prendsrgast, "in order that the sweet
waters OF charity may not be polluted by
politics."
The Judge recommends that the asylum
be removed from it's present site and that
special session OF the state legislature be
called to attend to the matter. He reviews
the evidence at great length, pointing out
the dreadful results arising from the com
binei influences OF politics, overcrowding,
brutality and filth. Pointing out the de-
fects in the political management OF such an
institution, the Judge says:
1.-THE constant care OF q large number OF
the persons appointed is to retain their
places and they cultivate the friendship OF
the powers that be instead OF studying to
increase their efficiency and skill as at
tendants."
1t is because there is no hope OF remedy
in the city or county, the judge says, that
he recommends special session OF the
legislature to pass law putting all sucn
institutions under the control OF the

put on trial for his life this term OF the dis

Judge DeWolfe issued special venire for
"a extra jurors and the entire day was
consumed in the effort OF trying to get
twelve men competent to sit on the case.

formed or expressed opinions, and Others
were opposed to capital punishment. A
jury will probably have been obtained this
morning aud the fight will begin in earnest.
Mcbride & Haldorn appear for the de.

case will last long as all the testimony is
direct and brief An atte mpt will be made
to secure an acquittal on the grounds OF

the bell ran to the hall and an investigation
of the premises was made.
It was found that an iron door leading
from the front OF the jail to space under
the sidewalk above, had been pried open
and three or four prisoners were missing.
The door was secured from the outside by
means of an iron bolt, which had beer
broken by the prisoners who, apparently,
had worked the door back and forth until
the fastening gave way.
The prisoners who escaped were only
petty offenders and if they will only stay
away the city will be the gamer.
