When Walter Lowe and Bessie Da-
Wis were married, week ago. IL was
supposed that their most serious
troubles were over and IL was also sup
posed that after having once stood in
THE shadow of the states big stone
building at Deer Lodge, Lowe would i'm
future be more circumspect in his rela-
tions with girls. Developments of yes
terday, however, prove both of these
suggestions to have been far from cor
rect and II loves young wife is in
clined TO be spiteful they may result
in the arrest of her husband for adul-
terry. Readers OF the Standard are ia
miliar with the troubles of Lowe and
the Davis girl up to the time of their
marriage. She spent one night and part
of another in his room last December
and he was arrested for abduction. He
was held Ito the district court, but
when the case came up there he was
dismissed, as the girl positively re-
fused to testify against him. Two days
after loves discharge he married the
girl and in doing so IL is supposed that
he kept a promise which was condition
al on the refusal of the girl to prose-
cute him.
At the time the Maynard Bessie got
into trouble with Lowe she was run
ming with an 1S-year-old girl named
Celia Decker. whose reputation was
such as to insure her admission to the
new Florence Crittenton rescue home
in the event of a desire to reform. The
police regarded her as a species of bird
which Is quite numerous in Butte and
her appearance and actions sustained
this opinion. 1t is this girl that is the
cause of the latest trouble i'm the Lowe
family. After their marriage the Deck
er girl was a frequent visitor at their
room in the Whitmore block. on South
Main street, and Ii is said that she oc-
casionally called on Lowe when his
wife was out. The young wifes sus-
picions were aroused in a very few
days, but IL was not until yesterday
that she secured positive evidence OF
her husbands guilt. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lowe were in their room about noon
yesterday when THE Decker girl
dropped in for a friendly visit. few
minutes afterwards Mrs. Lowe stepped
out, and as though it was her inten-
ton to give her supposed friend and
her husband an opportunity to convict
themselves. she left the door slightly
ajar. This was not noticed, however,
by the occupants of the room and
when Mrs. Lowe returned in about 10
minutes she secured evidence that
would he conclusive in a divorce suit.
In order to secure corroborative testi-
mony Mrs. Lowe called the landlady
who also took look through the crack
in the door. Mrs. Lowe then ran
screaming out of the house and ran
straight to her home near Missoula
gulch. After one glance into loves
room the landlady rang up a messen-
ger boy and summoned a policeman in
hot haste. officer j. j. Anderson an
swered' the call, but Mrs. loves
screams had alarmed the guilty pair
and a moment before the officer arrived
the Decker girl ran out of the house
by the back stairs. She was in such a
hurry TO get away that she left fully
/ half her clothing behind Although
the landlady explained to the officer
that In case Lowe should be arrested
/ for adultery, there would be no tech
/ nicality or doubt of which he could
take advantage. he had no authority
to make any arrests without a warrant
as he had not caught the parties in

however, that Mrs. Lowe swear out a
