HE Evidence strong Ayainst Three Mlen
Charged With Cattle stsaiing.
BUTTE, Dec. 16.-Fred and Louis Byers
and Tom Jones are locked up ut tho
county jail on charge Of cattle stealing,
and, judging from tho facts In the case as
they appear now, the charge will very
likely be substantiated. On Wednesday
night last 13 head of cattle wero stolen
from tho ranch Of Spencer johnson In tho
Deer Lodge valley. On account OF the
low price Of silver and other things, Mr..
johnson did not like to let the cattle 20
BY default and he placed the case In the
hands Of ]. w. Collins, sx.stock inspector,
who does little first class detective work
In short order.
Mr.. Collins entertained private opin.
ion of the Byers brothers and Jones,
which caused his suspicious to be directed
toward thcm almost from tho start. and
qu et visit to their ranch about five miles
below Silvor Bow convinced him that he
had struck tho right trail. Warrants
worc then sworn out for the arrest of the
throe mon named, and as they reside in
this county tho papers wero placed In tho
hands Of Sheriff Reynolds.
This afternoon Under Sheriff Young,
Deputy hauswirth and Mr.. Collins on.
gagged couple of wagons and drove down
to Byers' ranch. whore they secured the
three alleged thieves, together with some
very damaging evidence against them.
Five OF the stolen cattle were recovered
and the hides OF the other seven were also
discovered, still bearing Mr.. Johnson's S
brand. Tho cattle had been recently
killed and the beef was found with tho
hides. But little pains had been taken
to conceal tho tell.talo hides, such quick
work on the part of tho
anticipated. Two Of tho prisoners were
brought in one OF tho wagons, while the
other one followed closely behind and
conveyed the hides and beef which were
Reynolds cellar. Tho five cattle which
had not yct been killed were also driven
in and left ut the yards Of the Butte
Butchsring company, whero they will be
held as additional evidence against the
accused. The case against the prisoners
Is a very strong one.

BUTTE, Dec. l6.-David McCurdy Of
Burlington, from whom Eliz, Jane Nc.
Curdy yesterday secured divorce. wants
his friends and the public to know that
he denies every accusation Of cruelty
made against him in his wife's testimony
with tho one exception that he once
threatened TO fill her full of lead. He says
he made that threat upon damaging ad.
mission she made, she attempting to Jus.
tify it by serious reflection upon his
character. Nc urdy denies that he ever
abused or struck her. and says her testi-
mouy was false from beginning TO end.
but he did not oppose her suit for divorce
because he desired that she should secure
1t. He claims that he always supported
not only his wife. but her family also. and
provided her with money up 10 several
weeks ago, and long after she had left
him. He also denies the truth of the testi-
mony of other witnesses.
