Inhuman Conduct of a Woman
Toward Her Sister.
GIRL RESCUED IN TIME
Depraved Far1ot Attempts to Start an
Innocent Oh Id on the Road to
Ruln-Autkorities Take Inn
mediate Action.

A most shocking story of a woman
attempting to start a little sister on
life of shame came to the attention
of the police yesterday, which was only
prevented by the exhibition of SPLEEN
did manhood in quarter where many
might not have expected it.
Wednesday nights train from ST.
Paul brought to the city a young girl.
She alighted from the train expecting
to see sister awaiting her. But there
was no one there to greet her and she
timidly inquired how she was to reach
the Grandon hotel, to which she had
been directed if no one should meet
her
A cabman drove the girl to the
Grandon and on her arrival there she
was shocked to find it was a saloon.
The attention of Charles Murphy, one
Of the proprietors of the place, was
called to the girl weeping in the Of
| flee Of the lodging house above and he
went to her. She told him her name
was Violet Norman, that she was from
| St. Paul, where she had lived with q
| married sister. she had a sister liy-
| ing here, whose name was Kittie Lejoi,
and who had written to her, asking her
to come to Butte, representing that
she had recently lest her husband,
VINO had left her in good circumstances
and that she was running lodging
| house The girl was invited to come
and work for her or she might come
| and five with her and not work.
The girl said one OF her brothers-in-
law had procured a ticket for her, and
she had come on to Butte. Now it SO
happened that Mr.. Murphy knew the
! l. al
| knew her to be one of the worst char
acters of the bad lands district. He
knew her story about having money
was false and that she had sent for the
| girl intending to introduce her to life
| of shame.
The girl is only IA years OH and Mr..
Murphy's manhood asserted itself at
once. He took the girl upstairs in the
| lodging house and paid for her room
for the night. Yesterday morning he
and Alex Mckay, a miner who had
heard the story from Mr.. Murphy and
| become Interested, took the girl to the
outhern hotel and paid for her meals
for the day. Then they reported the
case to the police. Acting Chief Ley
at once tn see the girl, She told them
her story as she had related it to Mr..
| Murphy. They, too, knew the woman
| for she had been many times arrested
and it was only a couple of days ago
that she was fined in police court for
an offense against good morals.
! The officials took the girl to the
county commissioners and laid her case
! before them. The commissioners, after
hearing the story, gave them an order
on the Associated Charities, through
which organization the commissioners
! transact all such business, for trans
portation back to St. Paul, and the
girl was then escorted to the good la
dies Of the Associated Charities, who

| journey and sent her on her way home

the fate her inhuman sister had plan

IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY
A Clinical Preparation That Positively
kills the DandrnH Germ.

A most important discovery has been
made after a years patient laboratory
work aimed in certain direction-it
is Newbro's Herpicide, a preparation
that cures badness, prevents falling
hair and speedily and permanently
eradicatcs dandruff. These evils are
caused by a germ or parasite that bur-
rows into the scalp, throwing up dam
druff, as it seeks to sap the life of the
hair at the root. There's no badness
without falling or thin hair, no thin
hair without dandruff and no dam
druff if the germ is destroyed. New
bros Herpicide is the only preparation
that will do the work. Destroy the
cause. you remove the effect"

FAME AS A FIGHTER,
Young Jerry Mccarthy Has a Good Thing
at Salt Lake.


Young Jerry Mccarthy, whose home
is in Walkeryille, where he has resided
for several years, left yesterday for
Salt Lake. The young man has acquired
considerable fame as fighter. He
has defeated several celebrities among
whom was Leonard. the accredited
Beau Brummel of Eastern pugilism.
Leonard, it will be remembered, mar
ried a girl who at one time illunined
the stage of the old Sutton theater. He
was here last summer and said that he
was going East to clean up all the 1856
pound 6crappers on the Atlantic sea-
board. But he has not done so walt
Some years ago Jerry Mccarthy was
a paper carrier in this city, and he
early evinced desire to enter the
pugilistic theater. He went to Salt
Lake and fought a 25-round draw with
Young Thomas. Later Charley Will
Jams of Michigan defeated Thomas in
eight rounds. Now Mccarthy goes to
Salt Lake to fight Williams for 5000 a
side. He weighs 1877 pounds and Will
Jams 140.

BOYS ARE DISMISSED.
No Evidence Forthcoming Against the
Juvenile Alleged Hoid.Ups.

Frank Gallagher Dan Lewis and
Peter Rivet, the three boys who were
arrested some days ago, charged with
being implicated in the hold-up of Hum
Young, the Chinaman, on the street IN
daytime, escaped punishment when
their case came to a hearing before
Justice Nichols yesterday. It has been
expected BY the county attorney that
a lady who lives near the scene of the
holdup would testify that she saw the
three boys participated in the hold-up
and that the state had strong case
but when put on the stand 1t transpir-
ed that the lady had only been told by

American Legion OF Honor continued to
occupy the attention OF the Circuit Court

compelling the defendant organization to
pay life insurance policy for 5000, grant,
ed to Miss Nellie Potter. deceased. When
the policy was granted Miss Potter named
her sister, Mrs. Mary E. Gelabert as the
beneficiary.
The defence protests the payment of the
policy on the ground that it was secured
through fraud. the deceased having been
impersonated at the physical examination
by some one unknown to the organization.
Several photographs Of the deceased were
introduced as evidence. These, 1t was tes-
titled by the photographer. were taken only
a few days before Miss Potter appeared
for examination before the Legion's ply
sician. These photographs show Miss Pot
ter to be what might be called full-faced,
healthy girl, while the witnesses for the
defence, who claim to have known Miss
Potter, stated that she was in ill-health.
and her form emaciated. Several of them
testified that she did not weigh ninety
pounds, while one estimated her weight at
sixty-five pounds. Some of the witnesses,

CAMERA CLUB LECTURE.
f. Francis jenkins Addresses Anna
teur PhOtO&raphers.


teur Photographers.
A number of amateur photographers
gathered in the rooms Of the Capitol Came
ra Club last night to hear lecture from
E. Francis Jenkins on the triangulation of
expression.
The speaker stated at the outset of his
talk that the subject was an ordinary one.
but he would endeavor to treat it in IN
extraordinary way. Mr.. Jenkins is an ex-
pert photographer and is the inventor Of
several machines for the taking of pictures
Prominent among these is the phantoscope,
which is the first machine invented for
the purpose Of throwing a moving picture
on screen.
The talk last night embraced not only
expression from the point Of view of a
photographer, but it was presented in an
artistic sense and a number of illustra-
tiOns were given. Mr.. Jenkins was assist
ed in his lecture by a young woman who
posed under the lime light for the benefit
Of the audience. At the conclusion of the
lecture a number OF lantern slides was
shown depicting scenes from nature. The
light effect was the Invention of Mr.. Jen-
hns and was created with applause by
the audience
