UNHAPPY HOME LIFE
A Helena Boy Becomes Disguised and
Leaves His Mother.
HE SAYS SHE'S A DRUNKARD
The Youngster Boards a Train and
Comes to Butte, Where the Of
ficers Take Him in Hand
7 and Send Him Back.
HE SAYS SHE'S A DRUNKARD

Sheriff Reynolds yesterday morning
received the following telegram from
Sheriff Jurgens at Helena:
Take charge of Frank St. Claire,
boy years old. VIII arrive in Butte
from Helena on the $3.50 p. m train.
Return him to conductor on evening
train for Helena, c. o. D., for his
mother"
Deputy Sheriff Walton was detailed
to meet the Great Northern train and
he met the boy as described, in charge
of a brakeman who had learned that
the boy had run away from home and
intended to turn him over to the po-
lice. Mr.. Walton took the boy, long
haired. dirty-faced, but bright-looking
lad to the court house where he was
put through an examination and said
he ran away from home yesterday be-
cause his mother was drunk and crazy
and had beaten him. He had two ugly
cuts on his head which he said his
mother had inflicted His left eye and
his neck were black and blue and also
| caused by his mu,her.
she got drunk and gave me an aw-
| full lckin', " he said.
He also said she often got drunk and
| had been in Jail for il. He spent Thurs
| day night with a Mrs. Jose in Helena
anu yesterday morning some one put
| him on the train and sent MIN 10
| Butte. He said he had an aunt, a
| Mrs. Kennedy, living in Butte and he
| expected to make his home with her.
What does your aunt do in Butte?'
| the boy was asked.
"She is a sporting woman"
| What does your mother do?"
| "She sports"
The boy had an empty cigar box
| under his arm which, he said, was his
| trunk. He objected TO returning to
| Helena and said he would not live with
| his mother again as she was crazy. His
| father is dead. The boy said he was
| dreadful hungry and Sheriff Reynolds
| gave him money and sent a deputy out
| with him to get him a square meal
| He was given in charge of the conduc-
| tor Of the evening train and sent back
| to Helena.
| When the lad was put on the train
| he cried and begged not to be sent
| back to his mother. He said he would
| rather die than go back to her he
| cause she would beat him when she got
| drunk again. His mother never sent
| him to school and he was compelled u
| sell papers on the street. lie said the
| Helena policemen all know him and
| take care Of him when his mother is
| drunk. The boy took a liking to Mr.
Walton and wanted to remain ir
Butte and live with him. The last
thing he said TO Mr.. Walton was tC

San Francisco, Feb. THE steamer
Gaelic from Hong Kong and Yokohama
to-day brought the following advices: OF
the many changes introduced in quick
succession in Corea, the recent adoption
OF the western method of hair dressing
has attracted most attention. The king
recently issued proclamation urging the
sacrifices of the queue and set the cN-
ample by having his own hair cut, the
prince royal following suit. The proCld-
nation created CONSERVATION in both Of
fetal and private circles The minister of
education resigned and retired to his
country seat when his protests at the in
novation were disregarded. Many lesser
government officials also resigned rather
than sacrifice their locks. The proclama-
ton excited alarm among people at large.

itol, constables are posted to await the
coming of country people and 10 compel
them to submit to BARRIERS who are in
wait for their victims. In the rural dis
tricts Coreans have broken out in actual
rebellion at the proclamation.

He expressed the belief that the maya
