April &c contains the following account
OF a visit TO that city of jeremiah Hare
of Butte, who lis one of the sureties on
the bond of Mrs. William Lavelle. VINO
is charged with obtaining money under
false Dretenses in this city:
Jerry Hare, a hotelkeeper OF Butte,
Mont, who paid Mrs. William Lavelle's
car fare to Seattle so that she might
sell a ranch and thus get out of trouble
at Anaconda. Mont, told his troubles
to Chief of Police Reed and Captain
Sullivan last night. Hare has not seen
Mrs. Lavelle for two days, which
makes him think she has skipped out.
MIR. Hare is a middle-aged man and
fairly well educated. He says hat he
has a hotel in Butte n hat Mrs.
Lavelle worked for him about two
weeks before he brought her to Seat
tie. According to Hare's story Mrs.
Lavelle came to Butte seeking en-
ployment. She applied to him and he
gave her work in his hotel.
"A short time after this the Ana
conda papers printed a story abou
Mrs. Lavelle having left the city sud-
denly on account of trouble over some
furniture. Mrs. Lavelle denied the
story of having skipped out, but it de-

over the sale of property, alleged to
nave been previously mortgaged. Sne
had been placed under $500 bonds in
Anaconda, but her sureties surrendered
her. Then 1t was that Landlord Hare
and one of his friends listened to Mrs.
.Lavelle's appeal for assistance and put
up $500 bonds. Mrs. Lavelle appeared
very thankful n did her work at the
hotel SO well hat her b~enefactors,
eSnaciallv Mr. Hara fhnurht her m ha
n of the best women he had ever
met.
"One day Mrs. Lavelle, according to
Mr.. Hare, told him that she had a
ranch located about 80 miles out of
Seattle, and that she had an opportun-
ity to sell it. h explained that 1t was
worth at least 81, 500 and tina by selling
ii now she could make enough to settle
all the little bills she owed and Square
up the Anaconda trouble. Mr.. Hare
believed what Mrs. Lavelle sal and
paid her fare to Seattle. They arrived
here Friday and took separate apart
ments at the National hotel. Mrs. La
velle old Mr.. Hare about having en-
gagements to meet the intended pur-
chaser of her ranch Saturday. She
also said something o taking a
trip out to the ranch. but she never
took the trouble, according to the ad-
mission OF Mr.. Hare, to tell him where
this ranch is situated.
when Mr.. Hare discovered hat
Mrs. Lavelle had not occupied her
room at the National hotel Saturday
night he commenced to be suspicious.
Yesterday he went to the court house
n put in the day hunting the records
for IN stray signs of Mrs. Lavelle's
n or any other property that she
owned in King county. The records
did not give Mr.. Hare any relief, so he
went to police headquarters and I'M
bosomed himself.
HE said that he could not but be-
lieve under the circumstances that
Mrs. Lavelle had zone away. He de-
scribed her as bou 40 years old 5 feet |
