walking, yesterday Henry Umhang,

BURKE LOSES A ROLL
He Charges Sadie Maginnis with the
Theft of 1t.
BUT ANOTHER STORY is TOLD
May Templeton Is Up Again for
Robbery-A Busy Day In Judge
Turner's Court-Chief Tebo's
Renewed Crusade.
BUT ANOTHER STORY is TOLD

Sadie Maginns, a well known sport
ing woman, was arrested a ltatle after
3 o'clock yesterday morning on a charge
Of grand larceny. Thomas Burke, a re-
cent arrival from Anaconda, who con-
Quoted a saloon on Main street until 1t
was closed upon attachment week or
two ago, is the complainant in the
case, and he accuses Sadie of having
rolled him for 5000 in money and a 1925
diamond pin AT her resort, which rs
known as the Trirby, in East Galena
street. Miss Maginnis appeared before
Judge Almon yesterday morning and
deposited 81 900 worth of diamonds as
security for her appearance at O'Clock
on Friday afternoon, at which time her
case will come up for hearing.
While Burke claims that he was de-
lFberately robbed by the frail and fes-
tive Sadie, she and several policemen
who claim to be familiar with some of
the facts in the case at least tell an en-
'Birely different story of the alleged rob-
berry. The officers have information that
Burke lain in and around the Trilby
drunk for two weeks or more, and that
he spent all of his money during his de-
bauch. When he recovered from IT, II
is claimed that he asked Sadie to lend
him SIS and that when she refused he
beat her and kicked her 1t is further
stated that he pulled a gun on her
when she refused to lend him money.
and snapped it at her breast twice
without exploding the cartridges, and
that he then hit her on the head with
it. Officers Sinsel and Buckner an
swered her summons for a policeman
after the gun play and took possession
of the revolver. They found that the
hammer had fallen between the cart
ridges, which was the cause of then
failure to explode. The woman would
not swear to a complaint and, as the
officers had not seen the gun used, no
arrest was made On Monday after
noon the defendant in the case sum-
moned officer Gray ito assist her in re-
moving her trunk from her house. She
said that there was a drunken man in
her room who would not allow her to
remove the trunk, but when she return
ed to the room accompanied by the off,
Ger he was gone.
Burke swore out a warrant for the
woman's arrest ON the charge of grand
larceny before Judge Almon on Monday
evening, but she could not be found
until yesterday morning.
