Causes More Trouble And Several
Arrests Santiago Hero
Discharged.

George Boombach will depart for the
hills of Granite county to-day sadder by
reason of having been separated from
his money and wiser in affairs Of the
heart han he was when he came to town.
And he will also have some good advice
for the hill boys as regards the laws of
Butte relating to the carrying of conceal
ed weapons. Boombach came to town
with his heart on his sleeve, a big six
shooter in his pocket and With money to
burn. The heart and s~.x-shooter got him
into the meshes of the iaw, and he paid
$l0 in police court this morning.
Soon after his arrival he met Grace
Howard, a Casino variety girl, and in
Grace's experienced hands was wax to
be moulded at her will. He bought wine
and other tokens of affection, and in re-
turn Grace promised to so back with
him to Granite county as Mrs, Boombach.
The promise was held good as long as his
money lasted, which was until Saturday
night. Then Grace told him that she
was a married woman, INC Boombach
told a friend that he proposed to kill her
and commit suicide. The friend told
Officer Tom Walsh of the trouble and
the officer arrested Boombach and put
him in Jail.

Mrs. Ann Clarity, over Mrs. Toomey's
~ VIA ICACAN A4IolIS Gil LIE III
Judge Sullivan's court tomorrow after
noon. BY the provisions Of Mrs. Toom-
ey's will, her husband was to receive the
furniture of the lodging house at No. 127
East Park street. A few days ago the
sister-in-law secured a lease on the
lodging house, and Saturday Toomey pro-
ceeded to remove the furniture. At the
instance of the sisters Toomey was ar
rested. When Toomey. was taken away
to jail he left Frank hymon in charge.
Rymon, after a wordy war with the wo-
men locked himself in the office Of the
lodging house. The women proceeded
to lombard the Office with flower pots, one
Of which passed through the glass door
and was stopped by Rylnon's nose. Ry-
mon capitulated. and leaving the women
in possession went to the police head
quarters and caused the arrest Of Miss
Clarity. He accompanied the officer to
the Jail and was himself arrested. The
trio pleaded not guilty and the cases We're
continued until tomorrow afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Estenson pleaded
guilty to creating a disturbance on East
Galcna street and We're fined $40 each. 1T
seems that Mrs. Estensen had small faith
in her husband and did a little detective
work Saturday night. She caught him
coming out of a house of i'll fame. and
was proceeding to mete out punishment
to him in her own way when Officer
Walsh came along and arrested both.
Luke Frances Brennan was arrested
Yesterday on a charge of drunkenness.
Later Jailer Tom Boyle. who can tell a
sailor or a soldier as far as he can see
the white of an eve. learned that the
prisoner had served as assistant engineer
on the battleship Indiana, and had done
his share towards winning the great
naval battle of Santiago bay. Mr.. Boyle
lost NJ time in communicating this in
formation to Chief LaVell, who promptly
ordered B~rennan's release.
