BUTTE, May PA day or two ago, Sam
Morgan, who has been arrested times in
Vulnerable. remarked to a policeman that
IL was time he was doing something again
to prevent the officers and police court
from forgetting him. As much as three
or O weeks had elapsed since Morgan
had been arrested. To-day he could
stand the pressure no longer and loading
up with bare knucklc whiskey began to
tread the warpath. The object Of
his onslaught was Frank j. Lackie,
whom he threatened e kill
and utterly wipe out of exist
encc. Lackie demurrcd and caused
Morgan's arrest To prevent him from car
rying out his threats. Morgan was placed
in jail for safe keeping.
The trouble between them had its be-
ginning through iealously. arising from
the fact that Morgan's woman left
him and took up with Lackie. To add
insult To injury, Lackic and the woman
have furnished a house adjoining that oc-
cupicd by Morgan where they now bill
and % the day long. This was more
than Sans warm blood could endure and

Butte, May l2.-J. l.. Strong was tried
this afternoon in Judge Eddy's court as
an absconding debtor. Strong was ar
rested Oh complaint OF NJ. W. Schmitz and
brought back from Helena by Sheriff Sui
Ivan Friday evening. From what
could be learned from the
ant, Strong had made arrangements, or
rather thought he had, to Engage In the
hardware business in this city, and sent
East for a stock of goods, and then en-
ployed Schmitz as salesman. The goods.
however, were not forwarded. because
the house from which they were ordered
insisted upon cash payment, something
Strong was unable to do.
He then countermanded the order and
went To Helena where he bought another
bill and paid for a portion Of the goods
which were forwarded To him here. When
he went To take them from the freight
Office he found they had been
shipped &. o.. ID. Not having the money
to take them out he sent them back to
Helena. going over on the same train,
and endeavored. so he said, To nave the
money advanced refunded. In this he
was unsuccessful and then tried To induce
the house TO AXE the goods back at ~
cent ON the dollar.
In the meantime Schmitz began To
grow suspicious and concluded that
Strong was preparing to eavet the country
owing him salary to the amount OF
S262.J0. Scbmitz then had him arrested
and brought baak from Helena for trial.
Strong claims that he was not preparing
Ia leave, but tried to dispose Of the goods
in order TO get money with which TO pay
Schmitz. Judge Eddy reserved his
decision until 10 o'clock tomorrow MORN

complaint of NJ. Houck, on a charge of
forgery. II is alleged that Baker commit
ted the forgery last fall, while he was one
of the firm of Sawyer. Houck a. Co., COM

some time ago Mr.. Baker became con-
nected with the firm of Sawyer x Houck
by the use of certain influences n by
misreprcscnting his financial resources.
Last fall the firm made an assignment
which. il is claimed, was for the purpose
Of getting Baker out of the firm. This re-
suited in litigation, which is still pending
in the distri, court. The forgery now
charged is alleged to a v taken place
last fall and is said to have been commit
ted by Baker. Ii seems that certain pa
pers were placed i'm the care of Mr..
Houck by one +. j.. Eastman and were de
posted In the firms safe for safe keep
ing. Shortly after the papers were placed
there MIR. Eastman met with an accident
which caused the loss of both of his eyes,
and nearly resulted In his death. IL is
claimed by the complaint that. while MIR.
Eastman was very low and not expected
To live. Mr.. Baker appropriated the papers
Ia the safe and signed them over to him
self. The papers in question represented
2l.OO0 shares of River View mining stock
and when placed i'm the safe were not
signed by any one. Mr.. Baker was re-
leased on $500 bonds.

SOS, 900, the salary ms apparent from the
above bill was slightly disproportionate TO
the services and responsibility of the Of
fee: Their senss OF justice in increasing
500 to 500 will probably compare favora-
bly, with that manifested by Alderman
Shovlin when he voted to increase the
police judges compensation a few days
ago.
Just here, while the subject of salaries
is in hand, will the public please stick q
pin until n few figures are added. The
city clerk and attorney Is paid a stated
salary of $3.50 per annum. His docket
fees for the past year approx
mated $1,000, so per month his compen
sation was in the neighborhood Of s226.
The police Judge for last e a received n
stated salary OF 500. His fees for that time
approach $1,000. so that his compensation
ranges about $50 a month. The total
compensation paid the city treasurer from
May 3, 1889, to May 5, 1880, az appears on
the city clerks books and as published In
the official statement rendered through
the STANDARD of May 8, Is $500, or S15
per month. Now, Dennis made an on
slaught last week upon some of those sal
aries. He wanted them cut down that the
taxpayers burden might be somewhat re-
lieved. Failing in this he takes the oppo-
site lack and concludes that ''the city
might as well go the whole length and do
Justice To the police Judge" While his
iransitory solicitude for the taxpayers
lasted he proposed to knock 300 per an-
mum off the 500 man and in almost the
same breath to add $40 to the 81 600 man.
The first proposition il q measure OF
economy, the second is for no better rea.
son than that .'the city might as well
go the whole length.' "A great

that such assistance implied no obligation

to suit Dennis. He considers the First

they can or cannot obtain. III he
