A CAY YOUNG MAN
He Wrongs a Trusting Girl
and Escapes.
IF HE EVER COMES BACK
To Butte It Will Go Hard With Him.
Expense of Keeping Migrants
Is Great.

If Grant S. Jennison will ring up the Of
ficials of Silver Bow county and let them
know his present whereabouts he will
learn something that may not be to his
advantage. Mr.. Jennison is supposed to
be in the vicinity Of DeadWOOd, South
Dakota, but he may be elsewhere.
On the 23rd of June a young woman re-
| siding out of the city called at the Of
flee of the county attorney and accused
%Jennison of being the father of a child
of which she will in a few months become
the mother. She is only nineteen years
old, and in relating her troubles to the Of
ficials said Jenn.son had promised to
marry her, but skipped without fulfilling
his promise. By occupation Jennison is
a printer and painter. Last December, so
the story goes, he stopped in the neigh
| borhood where the young lady lives and
was given some work at painting. Being
, a smooth talker, he soon cultivated her
acquaintance and a few days later induc-
ed her to accompany him to this city. Her
ruin was effected here. About six weeks
| ago she discovered her condition and re-
| quested him to fulfill his promise of mar
riage he had made, but he only laughed.
A few days later he disappeared and his
victim applied to the courts of Deer
Lodge county for redress, but was refus-
| ed a complaint. Then she came to Butte
and was accommodated. The warrant
was placed in the hands of the sheriff
| and an attempt made by him to locate
the rascal, but so far it has proved un-
| successful.
In Judge Lindsay's court today the
suit of Belle NJ. Gilchr.st against Peter
| McDermott was tried. The action involv-
ed title to some ground in the Hope adj
dition. Nc defense was offered and the
jury was instructed to return a verdict
for the plaintiff.
The county commissioners rave receiv-
ed word from the Orphans Home at
Twin Bridges to the effect that Jane,
Roach and Mary Brown, for whom APP
plication to the home was made a few
days ago. would be received as inmates
of the institution. The children are
young.
In the matter of the protest filed by JOS
eph Williams against the withdrawal or
the S. C. F. and G. A. Cobban addition to
the city, Mr.. Williams has Informed the
commissioners that he desires to with
draw his protest for the reason that what
he stated therein was based upo what
he afterwards a~scertained to be a misrep-
resentatlon OF facts.
Sheriff Regain has completed his report
for April, May and June. 1t shows that
during the quarter 324 persons were re-
ceived at the county Jail and BAL dis
charged. Of this number 145 We're
charged with vagrancy. These l45 served
a total of 3,109 days, making a cost OF
81, 554.50 to the taxpayers of Silver Bow
county for their maintenance during the
quarter. At this rate the taxpayers pay
$6.21s per year for the keeping of only
one section of it's poor, the other sections
being the poor farm and county poor,
who draw regular monthly allowances for
their maintenance outside of either the
Jail or poor farm.
F. Augustus HeinZe, his brother Arthur
and the Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany have answered the complaint in the
suit instituted by Miles Finlen against
them to recover possession OF the Minnie
Healey mining claim and $125,00o alleged
damages. The defendants deny that Fin
len owns any of the property or that they
took forcible possession OF 1t, as alleged
by him. They allege. that in November
of last year Finlen transferred the prop
erty to them and agreed to remain in
nominal possession for a certain time
that the operations were directed by the
defendants up TO January, when lney
were given exclusive control by Finlen
Defendants further say they have ex-
pended a large amount of money in de-
%velopnlent work and opened up the prop
erty in such a way as to a It's
value: that Finlen made no objection tt
their rights under the assignment unit
they had paid out a lot of money anC
toy. cod a body of commercial ore
| Nnen the ore was discovered Flnlen
| they allege, undertook to dispute theil
! rights and threatened to take forciblt
possession of the property n to emplo,
a number of men to help him do it. b!
reason of this fact the defendants say
they ha We been put in great fear.
Continuing, the defendants allege tina
the title Finlen had to the property wa:
acquired from Caroline ". Kelly in FRAUD
of their rights. and thus he holds it onl!
in trust for them. They deny that the,
have extracted the ore which Finlen al
leges has damaged him $125, 900.
Henry A. Root has commenced an ac
ton in the district court to determine tn
interest of the heirs in a lot of prop
erty belonging to the Davis estate. H
names Elizabeth B. Bowdoin and all tn
other heirs as defendants. The propert.
consists of several quartz lode mimi,
claims and a batch of real estate. II
his complaint he says he has an inherit
ance interest in the property and woul'
like to offer proof that will enable tn
court to enter a judgment defining tn
rights of and extent of the heirs as indi
viduals in the property.
