He MUST LEAVE HIS HOME
Punishment of William Butler
for Bad Conduct.
ABUSED HIS DAUGHTER
Court Gives Him the Alternative OF
Leaving the Town or Taking Four
. teen Months in Jail He Ac-
cspts the Former.

In the police court yesterday after
Ter, resident of Carroll, the choice of
going to the county Jail for period of
IA months or of absenting himself from
his home, family and this neighborhood
until such time as he should be in
vited by his family to return and dwell
with them in peace-an invita- ton which
the prisoner at the bar was not to ac-
cept unless he felt himself willing and
determined to refrain from such exhibit
tons of brutalism and lawlessness
Which were responsible for his present
disgrace. Butler amidst copious tears
OF repentance, chose the alternative Of
temporary disappearance, and assured
. the court that when he did return 1t
would be to make amends to his abus-
ed wife and daughter by treating them
as becometh husband and father.
Judge Kennedy thereupon detailed an
OFFICER to accompany Butler to his home
IN Carroll, see that he dalled not, but
packed up his personal belongings and
left Anaconda by n:ghtfan
Butler was before the court on the
charge of assault and battery, The COM
plant being sworn to by his daughter
Mary, bright young woman of 20. He
was charged with having, on last Tues
day, beaten, choked and otherwise
shamefully abused and threatened this
daughter TO this charge Of assault
and battery Butler pleaded not guilty.
1t would not have helped his case had
he pleaded otherwise, for the testimo-
ny of the girl herself, of Mrs. William
Butler and of Neighbors Joseph Farrell
and William Kleinhaunse was proof so
positive of his guilt that there would
have been slight saving of grace in
confession. The defense submitted the
case without testimony, and after de-
livering the most scathing rebuke his
honor ever has pronounced in this court
Judge Kennedy found Butler guilty as
charged, and gave him the choice of
two evils, as already described
The testimony of each and all Of the
several witnesses established the fol-
lowing evidence: Butler has been mar
lied to his present wife about 25 years.
When sober he was an excellent hus-
band and father but when under the
influence of liquor he was a sort of
demi-fiend, and made life almost I'M
bearable for his wife and daughter.
About two months ago Butler disap-
peared, and until last Tuesday his fam
lily and his friends were left in igno-
rance of his whereabouts. On the day
mentioned he reappeared in Carroll,
more .er less drunk, and Immediately
set about his old-time tricks of tor
ment. A portion of his time he spent
az his own home, and a greater portion

The case of the state against Mike
Matley, vagrancy. was tried in the po-
ice court yesterday. The defendant
was found guilty and ordered to leave
the city by shutdown. To see that this

voyed the hapless tprisoner to the east
city limits, where he watched Mikes

Dec. 23-Both Republicans and
Democrats Are to Bid

Between the present and the time
when the political pot will reach PIP
degrees Fahrenheit there stands a gap
of many months.
Nevertheless politicians already are
chopping little kindling :or the fire
under the pot. Part of the cropping
is being done in relation to the coming
plant.
Yesterday j. w. Smurr, who was ap-
pointed trustee in bankruptcy fer the
property not long ago, received noti-
hcatlon that the federal court had fix
ed Dec. % as the date on which the
Recorder and its plant shall be sold
to satisfy the claims Of creditors.
These claims aggregate $4,000.
Politicians of all political complex
ions, even before this announcement
was made, were figuring on securing
licans appear to be particularly anxious
for the paper, but there seems to be
disagreement among them as to what
particular bunch of republicans shall
secure control.
M. j. Fitzpatrick, the able and ag-
gressiVe leader OF many a lost repub-
Iican cause, is enc of the creditors of
sidera Bile interest in the coming sale
of the paper. The report is that he
desires to purchase it for certain re-
publican gentlemen and that he will
make a bid for them at the private
sale. Another report is that he is
empowered to purchase 1t for certain
democratic interests and is acting in
the matter only as business agent.
j. b. Losee. another prominent re-
publican is said to be another probable
bidder 1t is surmised that he desires
to buy in the interest of that section
of the republicans to which he is al

Police Judge J. NJ. Kennedy is an

as a possible bidder. The report is

young capitalist. Mr.. Heinze has had

PECULIAR TIMEPIECES,
One Curious Watch Speaks the Hour Of
the Day.

In one of the town halls in Japan
csc treaty port there is a remarkable
timeplece, says Tit-Bits. 1t is con-
tanned in a handsome frame three feet
wide and five feet long. 1t represents
a MONDAY landscape very cleverly car
ried out. In the foreground plum and
elerry trees appear in bloom, while in
the rear hill is to be seen, from which
flows pretty cascade initiated in crys-
tai. From this cascade flows a tiny
stream, which wends its way between
rocks and islands and finally loses it
self in a stretch of woodland. In a
miniature sky a golden sun turns on
silver wire, striking the hours on sill
Yer gongs as it passes. Each hour is
marked by creeping tortoise A bird
