WON'T REMAIN IN BUTTE
Galena Street Will Know Them
No More.
MUST SHAKE THE DUST
A CRATER and Her Secretary Driven
Out of the City by the Police and
Judge Sullivan-They We're
Notorious.

Galena and Mercury street, society
has suffered an irreparable loss in the
departure from the city of two prom
nent leaders of that select set The
friends of W. H. Carrot and Miss Nettie
Schoheld, or, as they style themselves,
Mr.. and Mrs. Garrett will be excessive
ly panied to learn that their health
has deteriorated so greatly of late that
they have decided to seek a more
healthful climate. 1t is not settled as
yet, or at least it is not generally
known, just what community they will
favor with their residence, but it is set
tied that they will not remain in Butte.
In reaching this decision Mr. and Mrs.
Garret were assisted by the reasoning
of Police Magistrate Sullivan, who is
manlfesting a commendable interest
just now in the welfare of this particu-
lar class of saciety and in exerting his
influence in this particular direction it
may be assumed that he has the well
fare of the general public at heart as
we'll SO the Carrots are not going of
their own accord entirely and therefore
are entitled to due credit for sacrificing
something of their own interests to the
public good in consenting to be thus in
huenced.
Mr.. and Mrs. Garret are very well
known and exceedingly popular in
Pleasant alleys most exclusive set: in
fact, they are so well known that they
may be said to be notorious. Mr. Gar
ret IS a gentleman of color, of very
pronounced color which is sometimes
described as "blacker than the ace of
Spades and his business in life is
booking. He has been for a long time
head bookkeeper to Miss Schofield, or
MRS. Carrot, white woman. who has
proved that she is one of those who do
not draw the color line. Mr.. Garrett in
his time has done the state some serv-
ice, since, as principal witness in the
Shafer murder trial, he was instrument
tai in convicting Joe Shafer of the muir
der of John Hawkins.
The woman is one of the class known
as grafters and is an expert at the bust
ness. Some time ago she relieved a
sheepherder of $175. A few days later
Carrot blossomed out in some highly
infiammatory togs and this fact led TO
the suspicion that he had shared in the
sheepherder's hard earned wealth.
They We're both arrested, but We're let
down easy and little was heard from
them till two or three days ago when
the woman was again accused of rob-
berry. She and Carrot were arrested
again, but Judge Sullivan was not SO
easy. He imposed a heavy fine on the
woman, which she could not pay. and,
rather than serve it out in Jail, she
promised to leave town if given the op-
portunity. Yesterday Carrot was fined
500 and given the same opportunity,
so'Hthey will go together. And SO it Is
that Pleasant alley is to lose two of it's
most influential members of society.
Judge Sullivan had some other cases
before him yesterday. Peter Smith,
Peter McVickering and one John Doe.
who got drunk and raised cain in the
lower part of town, breaking windows.
tearing down signs, etc, We're required
to pay fine of SIS each. John Ruff was
assessed S. for driving a leaky scav-
enger wagon through the streets. Tom
Smith, John Morrison and Annie Baker
all acknowledged they had imbibed too
freely and We're taxed S. apiece. Edgar
Dayton had his two cases set for trial
next Tuesday.
