A NAUGHTY Girl,
Hannah Day Is Rescued From Life of
Shame at White Sulphur Sprincs.

H. nnah Day Is Rescued From n Life OF
Shame at White sulphur Springs.
Saturday Hannah Day. aged Il years
and formerly a resident of Sand Coulee,
was brought to this city by an officer.
who arrested her on warrant sworn out
here charging her with being incorrigi-
BILE. She will have a hearing Monday
before Judge Benton and probably be
sent to the reform school. The girls
story is sad one, but not by any means
new one. She got tired of life in Sand
Coulee, finding it too slow for her in
cllnations, and ran away from home.
This was when she was only Is years of
age. Her people telegraphed in to Great
Falls to intercept her and she was found
by the police of this city and returned
to her home. About three months ago
she ran away again and came to this
city, where she took the train for Helena.
Arriving at the capital she soon drifted
into bad company and entered life of
shame. Learning that her people were
looking for her, she left Helena after
short time and went to Townsend.
From there she went to White Sulphur
Springs. Here she met people who
knew her and told her people where she
was and what kind of life she was
leading. The result was that they swore
out the warrant as related and an officer
went after her. He found her an inmate
Of a bagnio at White Sulphur Springs
and, serving the papers, brought her to
Great Falls Saturday.
Her people say that they can do moth
ing with her and it is probable that she
will be turned over to the care of the
state to see if any reformation can be
effected in her character.

THEY MAY RESIGN
There Is a Strong Impression That
the British Cabinet Has
Decided tu QNit.
IT WILL INJURE IRELAND
Rosebery Dining With the Quern-De.
cisiOn OF the Ministers 10 Be
Announced Monday:

LONDON. June 22-The Westminster
Gazette, liberal, says it is generally re
ported that the cabinet will decide to re
sign. Lord Rosebery dimes with the
queen at Windsor tonight in accordance
with previous invitation. The Gazette
adds that the Irish members are strongly
opposed to dissolution. They declare
IF the government resigns we have been
betrayed. We must have the land bill.
1t would be a bunder and crime to
defraud Us Of it. The government is
receiving many communications from
leading supporters throughout the
country urging them not to sacrifice
legislative work or to resign, owing to a
scratch reverse. The St. James Gazette
says: The fate of the ministry is bound
up with the decision of Campbell Ban
herman and strenuous efforts are being
made to induce him to reconsider his
decision. A very strong whip will be is
sued by the ministerialists Monday and
all Irishnen have been summoned back.
When the cabinet ad Journed for lunch no
decision had been reached regarding its
resignation. The impression prevails
that nothing definite will be known until
Monday, when statement will be made
In the house of commons. Shortly after
General Arnold Morley and Campbell
Bannerman were called on to confer with
Lord Rosebery. This started rumors
that the ministers will finally decide to
resign and cast upon the opposition the
responsibility Of government and make
them select time for the dissolution Of
parliament, Then again it is reported
that the government may determine to
carry on non contentious measures and |
appeal to the country later. Either
course, it is believed, will prevent the
Irish land bill and other important !
measures from passing the final stages
1t is asserted that the Irish members are
largely responsible for the present stu
alton, as their action in compelling the
chancellor of the eXchequer to rescind
the vote for the erection OF statute to
Oliver Cromwell seriously undermined
the government, The cabinet rose at
J:45 p, IA. The decision arrived at is
not known. At the close of the meeting
Lord Rosebery started for Windsor to
inform the queen of the decision of the
Ministers, which will not be announced
until Monday. There is strong im-
that the cabinet has decided to

| SERIOUS CUTTING AFFRAY
Occlrs Sunday Night at a Picnic on
the West Side. Near the New
Brewery.
Webber Is Cut IN Seven
Places by Il Man Named Carries
Wuerl,

Last Sunday night serious cutting
affray occurred on the west side of the
river near the new brewery which is be.
ing built not far from the Sun river
bridge.
1t appears that number of Germans
who have been employed on the con.
struction of the new brewery had sort
OF picnic there Sunday evening and a
good deal of drinking was going on.
| While under the influence OF beer and
liquor quarrel arose over some trivial
matter and hard words soon led to gen.
eral scrimmage. During the melee a
man named Constantine Webber re-
ceived very severe injuries, being slashed
IN no less than seven places by knife or
some other shalp instrument. DIR. Brady
was called and found him suffering from
deep cash on the head which penetrate d
to the bone, a long cash above the right
elbow, another cut in the right wrist,
which came very close to eeveripg the
artery, and four stabs in the right hip.
His boots were full of blood, and he had
evidently lost good deal of the vital
fluid, but he stood like Trojan while
the doctsr dressed his wounds and
sewed him up with numerous stitches
and never tlinched, although he had no
anesthetic to deaden the pain. His
wounds are not in themselves dangerous
but as he was treated not long ago at
the county hospital for erysipelas it is
feared that blood poisoning may set in
with dangerous results.
10 an officer the wounded man said
that Carries Wuerl had done the cutting,
and an officer went over to the West
Side and put him under arrest after first
getting out d warrant from Judge
Hawkins.
The prisoner was seen Monday by a
IRIBrNE reporter and denied that he
had anything 10 do with the cutting. lie
declared that he had no knife with hum
and was able to prove this fact The
cutting, he said, was done by man who |
stopped at his house and whose first
name is Sebastian. He did not know
his other name lie says that after tie
cutting Sebastian skipped out. Wuerl
is stone mason and has been working
on the brewery. lie has a wife and seven |
children on the West Side. a I'd was very
anxious to get out on bail. The court |
fixed the bail at $1,000 and his friends
are now rusting to secure bond. 1t |
appears from his story and that of others
that there were several men concerned |
in the cutting atfray and the police are
