THE INTRIGUE PUT
MORGAN IN JAIL
A Clever Schema to Defraud the HEM
essy Nero antile Company-He
duplicates Patton.

Frank Morgan, the alleged veteran
of the Colorado regiment, who was ar
rested a few days ago on a charge of
burglary and escaped through the COM
planning witness failure to put in an
appearance at his hearing, is in trouble
once more. He was arrested again
yesterday and is now held under a
charge of obtaining goods under false
pretenses, in connection with which is
alleged to have been a game between
himself and a member of the Montana
volunteers to defraud the Hennessy
Mercantile company. If Morgan tells
the truth, the game was a cleverly con-
cocted one and worked out Well as far
as the Montana soldier was concerned,
though diSastrUusly for him.
Among the large number of the vol
unteers who We're given employment in
the Anaconda mines when the regiment
returned from Manila was one Charles
F. Patton. Morgan went to the Hen
messy store and purchased bill of
goods amounting to $43.T5 and gave
the name of Patton. He signed Pat
tons name in assigning his time at the
Anaconda mine. This was some two or
three weeks ago. couple of days
ago, or such matter, Patton started
to quit work at the mine and asked for
his time. Of course the amount of the
bill Of goods Morgan had purchased
where he was required to draw his
money.
Patton protested and claimed he had
not bought any goods at the store, and
did not have an account there. He had
no difficulty in proving he had not
bought the goods, and Of course col
lected his money. Then he left the
city. Yesterday Detective Murphy
learned Morgan was the man who pur-
chased the goods, and arrested him,
and took him before the clerk who
made the sale. He was at once identi
fed upon which he melted into tears
and made a confession, in which he
said he and Patton, whom he knew in
the Philippines, had put up the job
and that he was to buy the goods and
get them charged to Patton. Then Pat
ton was to deny having given him the
authority and collect his money, and
they would whack up on the purchase.
The officers have some doubts as to
the truth of the story, and likewise
as to whether Morgan was ever a SOL
der or not One part of Morgan's
story lends color of truth, however,
and if it is wholly untrue, stamps him
as a clever rascal He was able to tell
the mine at which Patton worked,
knew the exact number of shifts he
had put in, and just the amount that
was coming to him.

Deputy Sheriff Murphy went to Sars-
fields house to serve the citation ON
him, and he found it in the same state
of wretchedness and filth as Marks.
Sarstield's wife died within Few
months past also. His oldest child is
a girl of 9. She has deserted the house
of her father, and the oldest child the
deputy sheriff found there was a little
one of 6. The youngest was about 2,

Last evening Marks was rounded up
by an officer and brought before the
commissioners. He was questioned as
to his behavior and had the effrontery
to tell the commissioners that he was
doing the best he could for his child
rem. He was in a state of partial in
toXication and the commissioners haul
ed him over the Goals with no gentle
hand. At the end of his examination
he was ordered locked up till his case
could be attended to. and he was
promptly jailed. When he was search

of whiskey was found on his person.

BUTTE NEWS.
NEGLECT Of FAMILIES
Frank Marks and Pat Sarsfeld
Must Explain It.
ARE CITED TO APPEAR
Each of the Families Consists of Five
Motherless Children-One of the
Charges Is Preferred by
Neighbors.

Two citations were issued yesterday
manding Frank Marks and Pat Sars-
field to appear before them and an
swer to the charge of cruelty neglect
ing their families, each of which CON
sists of five motherless children. The
charge against Marks was preferred
by his neghbors and the charge
against Sarsfield by Judge Sullivan.
The cases are both characterized by
aggravated and brutal neglect, accord
ing to the statements of the neighbors,
and Commissioner Clark, in discussing
them, expressed the opinion that the
whipping post should be established in
Montana to deal with such offenders
as Marks and Sarsfield. 49,.
Marks lives in the extreme end "f
the west side near the Orphan Boy
mine, and his house is isolated and at
some distance from those of his neigh
bors. The Oldest of his five children,
four OF whom are girls, is boy II
years of age, and the youngest is
baby Of 16 months. The mother died
four months ago, and Marks is ac-
cused Of contributing to the causes
that produced her death by his bru-
tally. The neighbors say that Marks,
who is a big. able-hodi man, has been
drinking and gambling ever since lis
wife died, and that the children have
been without any care practically.
Deputy Sheriff Murphy went out to he
house to serve the citation yesterday
and he found the children in a wretch
ed condition. They We're dirty and
unkempt, the house was barren of
food and the bed containing the in
FAINT was in a horrible state. Marks
was absent, SO the citation could not
be served then. A man in the neigh
borhood told the deputy sheriff that
Marks came home one night recently
and drove woman who had Volun-
teered to look after the children from
the house. The woman was so fright
ened she ran till she was exhausted
and then fell in faint. and it was
a long time before she could be re-
stored to consciousness.
Sarsfield is accused of neglecting MS
children through drunkenness. lie
lives at 92S jefferson avenue. He was
at work in mine yesterday, SO the
citation could not be served on him,
either, in the daytime. The neighb0rs
say that he drinks up his money in
stead of providing for his children. If
there is any law that will reach them,
men who neglect their children so fla
gravity should be severely punished.
