DISTURBING THE PEACE

A rather remarkable and complicated
lot of troubles We're told to Deputy
County Attorney Alley yesterday by
number of persons whose various tales
of woe were in some manner associated
with each other. First, one Mike Kret-
ko made a complaint against a young
woman named Susan Kristoin for dis
turbing the peace. He said he was
walking down Main street with his wife
when they met Susan. The latter
stopped them and told Kretko that he
was goi blanketed fool for living with
his wife, because she was not what a
wife should be. Susan was plain in her
language and said that she thought
Mrs. Kretko had been guilty in loud
and boisterous language. kretko pulled
his wife away and they walked on
down street, while Susan yelled her
startling accusations after them. A
warrant was issued for Susans arrest,
but before it was served on her she ap-
peared in the county attorneys office
accompanied by Mrs. Adamvitch and
asked for warrant for the arrest of
one &c .;e Powlak for assault and
battery. Mrs. AdamVitch was witness
to the assault, but she also had troubles
of her own. Susan Kristoin told Mr..
Alley that she had been in LaZare-
Vitch's store at 264 East Park street
when Powlak came in and asked her
what in Helena she was doing there.
She did not reply, and he proceeded to
beat the everlasting stutting out of her.
When asked what authority Powlak
had over her, Susan explained that
they had been Giving in the same
house, After Susan had told her story
and it had been corroborated by Mrs.
Adamvitch, the latter herself related a
wOpfu1 a hay ri
and her breast to prove what she said
was true. She said her husband had
beaten and kicked her numerically the
night before, and she wanted a divorce
and wanted it quick. Her arm and
breast were covered with bruises, which
she said her husband had inflicted.
Mrs. Adamvitch was very disappointed
when Mr.. Alley told her he could not
grant her divorce. She then wanted
permission to resume her maiden name,
and as Mr.. Alley said he had no objec-
tons to offer to that, Mrs. Adamvitch
said she would hereafter be known as
Mrs. Jardas, and would get her divorce
to-day.
d Agnes Hood was another with a story
to tell and a complaint to make, and
she got warrant for the arrest of
Edith Aronberg on the charge of petty
larceny. Miss Hood said she had for
merly been a roommate of Miss Aron-
berg, "a lady from the Castle" and
that they mixed up their laundry when
they sent 1t to Chinese wash house.
Unknown to Agnes and without her
consent, Miss Edith get all the laundry
out of the wash house and then
changed her abiding place and kept all
the clothes, including some rallied
pantaloons and various other articles
of apparel belonging to Agnes. During
the recital of her troubles, Miss Agnes
stated that she came to Butte from
Spokane four weeks ago and that she
intended to go back to that town, as
business was not very good here.
The Charlesworth family troubles will
come up in justice court to-day. The
. complaint which G. H. Charlesworth
obtained against his daughter, Edith,
and his second wife for kidnapping a
12-yearold girl, Florence, was not filed
by him, but he is himself in Jail for
having threatened his daughters life,
on which he will have hearing to-day.
Mrs. Charlesworth yesterday secured
from the county commissioners an or
der for the price of a railroad ticket for
the girl to some place back in Canada,
and she will be sent away to-day. The
county attorney has come into possess
sion of information against Charles
worth which shows the fellow I'D in a
