Adam Farraday. an old man, one Of
Buttes pioneer citizens. a man who,
with other early settlers, by indomitable
will and courage and hard knocks dem
onstrated Buttes worth as a mineral
zone, was in the police court yesterday
to answer to a charge of disturbance.
The case developed an ugly state of af-
fairs. Last Saturday, Farraday, Liz
zie PritChard, Mrs. Bowen, alias Lucy
VIM, Ed Dougherty, Salvoy and Perry
came together in a fracas. The story,
which is of no value to the public more
than to show to what extent immortality
exists in quarters not set apart for the
lewd class. is as follows. taken from the
testimony:
Farraday had rented four-room
house at No. 112 Dakota alley to Mrs.
Bowen. Some few days ago Farraday
served notice upon Mrs Bowen to
either pay her rent or vaCate. On Sat
urday afternoon the Bowen woman,
Lizzie Pritchard and two men, Salvoy
and Perry. rushed the can" and got
drunk. Farraday occupies a room in
the house. He was not drinking with
the quartette.
The Pritchard woman emerged from
the room in which she and her COM

The latter protested and the woman
flew into a rage and fired the pail at
Adam and Adam laid hands on the
woman and warded off her vicious
blows. Then the man Perry rushed out
rough and-tumbled it into Adam S
room. The latter broke away and
grabbed a pistol that was lying on a
stand and warned Perry to keep away.
Perry took the pistol from Adam and
beat him over the head with it, and
Adams black eyes and lacerated face
bore evidence of the fact. Ed Dough-
erty, who lives with his family near the
place and who has not spoken to Far
raday for two years, owing to some
former disagreement, rushed to the old
mans assistance and put Perry out OF
the room.
The case simmered down to Adam
and the man Perry, the Pritchard WO-

the row. Perry, with the cunning of All
