To Use Them.
BUTTE, June 25.-The peculiar power
that a woman wields over the man that
loves her has been the subject Of many
stories i'm prose and song. and will con-
tinue To furnish food for romance as long
as the human race exists. A remarkable
illustration of the potency Of this power
occurred here a few days ago. Some
months q a tall. magnificent looking
woman, giving her name as Pauline
WEIGH, arrived here from the coast. Not
trammeled with an over regard for that
chief beauty i'm woman. modcsty and
virtue, she assumed proprietorship Of the
Clipper Shades, one of the most notorious
concert saloons in the city. As already
stated Pauline Welch is IA splendid speci-
men of physical womanhood. Consider.
ably above medium height. with an al
most faultless form, she is regal in her
carriage. Of a rich olive complexion,
possessing dark, lustrous eyes, full
rounded checks with just enough Of the
faintest tinge of red in them to make her
complexion appea all the richer and in

she il a woman that would he "A notice
able figure in any gathering, no matter
how great. Added In all her personal
charms is a rare knowledge OF how to
dress faultlessly, richly yet not gaudily,
a taste that not all of her kline possess.

Claiming to be of Spanish descent, she

this as il may, there are "np flies on
Pauline, as many of her victims have
learned to know.
Immediately upon her arrival, she saw
that Butte offered an excellent field for a
woman of her capacity. Securing the
saloon she now conducts, she began TO
form such acquaintance as she consid-
cred would he useful thereafter. She was
"A little short of money, but that made no
difference, there were those only too glad
To help her. From one w~ell-known
dealer she secured n supply of liquors.
The bill has not yet been paid. as will he
seen by reference To the docket of Judge
Newkirk's court. From another gentle.
man, not engaged in the mercantile BUSH
ness, she Is alleged to have obtained ia
various ways a sum of money a~ggregating
$3.50. Besides these there were other
claims against her last Saturday evening
amounting To much more. These claims
were held by parties who had pee en-
ployed by her and then discharged with
out the customary formality of settling
accounts. Then, too, there was said Ia be
quite a goodly O of rent due ON the
saloon, but this is not known pos lively.

Pauline no one knows, but IL is claimed
they are many.
Only one of her many creditors APP
peared to be possessed Of sufficient stern
ness TO compel Pauline 10 straighten ac-
counts. He VAS Frank Britton, a ear
penter. He not only performed a large
amount of work for Pauline, but also at
various times advanced her cash until she
was indebted to hun in "a sum consider
ably over $500. Saturday evening he in
stituted attachment proceedings against
the woman in the district court, n
shortly before midnight Deputy SheritTs
Gallagher and Nichols closed up the
place. The furniture was claimed by the
j. Chauvin company, and nothing NJ
manned that could be taken away
Except a large trunk. The woman
made various pretexts to obtain access Ia
the trunk after its seizure. but was pre-
vented from doing SO, the attorney for
Britton having good reasons Ia believe
the trunk contained certificates of lie.
posits much greater in value than the
amount of his clients claim. Subse-
quently the supposition proved to have
been correct. The trunk was removed To
the sheriIf's Office and still remains there.
Not to he outwitted, the woman at once
began la make herself more agreeable
than ever 10 Britton and by Monday had
cajoled him into permitting her Ia take
out two certificates Of deposit which she
said were IN the trunk, she first pleading
her most sacred word that as soon as she
obtained the certificates she would
have them cashed and pay
him in full. Britton foolishly re-
leased h @ certificates, which Pauline now
has. but as yet she has failed Ia make
good her promise. In some way she man

full blast again. The attachment pro-
ceedings still lie, but Britton's prospects
of his claim are very slight. The only
consolation he has is that he j. not tn.
