He Talks Very Chilly About Miss Louise
Mccartney.
The Mccartney Reed scandal has for the
past few days been the chief topic of con-
versation in Deer Lodge, and since the
dailies of the state have given the matter
such publicity we deem it our duty to give
our readers such information a. can be re-
liably gained from interested parties, says
the Silver State. We regret sincerely that
such an affair happened in Deer Lodge.
Louise Mccartney the young woman in the
case came to this place some months, ago,
and has since been employed at the City ho-
tel az cook, and later at the Climax restau-
rant in the same capacity. She is medium
sized woman OF "a years, and above the
average in appearance. Jack Reed. the sec
ond party. is we'll known here as an indus
trious young man, good for any obligation
that he may make, and for some time has
been, and is yet, conducting q frelghting
outfit between this place and Champion.
In order to give something reliable about
the trouble, representative went out to
find Mr.. Reed.
"Well, Reed, I suppose You have been
reading about yourself for several days, in
the dailles," said the reporter.
YES" said Reed, II will be as we'll
known as Wilbur +. Sanders or Tom Power

regard to the matter?' queried the reporter.
well, yes, for the reason that have
been accused of several things that have no
foundation, and the way account for il is
this: Miss Mccartney. whom I met last
June. went over to Helena under q wrong
impression of her condition. OF this am
with disease peculiar to her sex since my
acquaintance with her, and for some time
before, according to her story. About
two months ago she Rrasped the i'm
preston that abe was to become q
mother, and was determined from that
could in any way be prevented. She be-
came SO disseminated that told her abe
had better 20 to Helena and get work and
that | would send her $25 each month
(Which / did, doing even more. having
made two remittances since she left there)
and If she became satisfied OF her condition
and was at any time unable to work, she
should be sent to the Home OF the Good
Shepherds, at Denver, for confinement. I
tried to have her not make any attempt to
| relieve her condition (if any existed) and
remarked to her pleasantly, that II wanted
little freighter," leaving her to infer that
| il child was born to us, that would not
desert her. Now the officials have got her,
and have doubtless frightened her into say
| ing = great many things that she ID not sure
about. and are going to use her to convict
Dr.. kellogg, whom believe to be innocent
| OF the charge against him."
Il see that in the evidence she accuses
You of giving her medicine for her relief,''
said the reporter.

Blackfoot hunting with party Of young
men. and when returned found Miss Nc
