FOR DISTURBING PEACE
Christ Messner's Wife, Kitty,
Causes His Arrest.
A DOOR, SMASHING EPISODE
Pie Claims He Entered Violently and
Threatened Her With Guu-Crib
x Woman From Butte Falls
Into the Tolls,

On warrant charging him with dis
turbing the peace. sworn to by his
wife, who formerly was Kitty Brack-
en-, Christ Messner was arrested last
evening by officer Mayhem, and sub
sequently was released on $50 cash
bond, put up by his brotherin-law, c.
Il. Johnston. Messner must appear be-
fore Judge Kennedy in the police court
tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock for
trial The peculiar peace disturbance
OF which he stands accused is of the
door-smashing, notwithstanding stripe.
FOR more than week past there has
been trouble in the Messner home, sit
uate 215 Cherry street. 1t will be re-
called that about a week ago Mrs
Messner was arrested for disturbing
the peace, and was released from the
displeasure Of the law on the promise
to live in quiet. Messner subsequently
promised Officer Powers he would stay
away from Mrs. Kitty and thus avoid
any chance of renewed hostil!ties.
But it seems the pledge was not
kept, for two or three times during the
week Mrs. Kitty came to police head
quarters to complain of Christophers
boisterous moods. Likewise, Christie
phor journeyed to the home of Officer
Mayhew and said things about Mrs.
kitty's behavior The prevalent opn-
ion in police circles seems to be that
the husband, this time, has been more
to blame than the wife.
Tuesday evening a neighbor Of the
Messners rushed pell-mell into the po-
lice station and blurted out the news
that there was Chi going on at the
home of Mrs. Kitty and Christ, that
the latter had smashed in the door and,
pulling a gun. threatened to do dire
things, whereat the former had scream
ed, and the whole neighborhood had
been aroused.
Now officer Powers, who at this
time was at the station, had just come
from the Messner domicile, and during
his official visit all things outward had
been serene. Therefore he was wroth
at the news the neghbor brought, and,
mounting his Wheel he rapidly pedaled
to the scene. He found the door
smashed and Mrs. Kitty in a state Of
great agitation. But Christopher had
disappeared.
Yesterday Mrs. Messner swore to a
warrant for her husbands arrest, and
he was taken into custody last night.
He AYERS he is not the man, at all, who
so rudely disturbed his wife's and the
dignity Of the neighborhood's peace.
A young woman giving her name as
Oracle Woods was arrested last night
by Officer Ingalls, on the charge of
larceny from the person Her arrest
was caused by o. Couture, a man who
the police say earns his livelihood by
gaming. Couture accuses the Woods
woman of having robbed him of $40
while the two were together in her
crib on the row. She denied her guilt
and urged the officer to search her
rooms, which he did, without re-
ward. The woman came to Anaconda
from Butte yesterday. She will have
to spend Thanksgiving day in Jail and

REPUBLICAN
UCTORY

The over whelming Republican
majorsty of last Tuesdays election
in nearly all the states that held
state elections, is strong vindica-
ton of the Republican principle
and administration. The people
undoubtly endorse the Presidents
course in the Philippines. 1t was
simply an endorsement of the splen-
ded and wise management of our
country, so that to-day instead of
souphouses, marching army of starv-
ing people; we see we'll dressed, hap
py, contented class, with plenty of
work and good wages, with Ken
lucky still remaining with our party.
1t may be the neucles around which
other southern states may have hope
and fall in line. From the time in
'o6 when J.. w. Bryan bolted the
true principle of democracy and dis
rupted the party on the money ques.-
ton, the party has constantly met
with great defeat, even in the once
democratic strongholds. II 81 they

WHY NOT.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who has
turned dramatic critic, has some
we'll refined ideas on the sentiment
of "coon songs" which are so
rampant en- the stage at present.
She says;
l wonder the better order of
freedmen do not rise in a body
and protest against indecent tone
OF most Of the "coon songs" "
They are devoid of sense of NOR.
ality, and make the colored men
and women seem to be fools, The
airs of the songs are often catchy
and full ofhaunting bits of melody,
even Of harmony, and it is because
of this, no doubt, that they accept
ed and sung by people everywhere
who do not stop to consider the
sentiment.
It's a curious thing that during
the time when the colored man
was in slavery he inspired exquisite
stanza of verse in the brains of our
poets and song makers. "Old
Kentucky Home,'' ''Suwanee Ri
ver," "Massa's in the Cold, Cold
Ground" and many others of the
kind are full of fpathos, refinement
and beauty. Now that the slave
has become a freedman and is Civ
en- opportunity with his follows,
why should he inspire our sopg
writers to only such vulgar end
coarse doggerel as most of the
"coon songs of the time undeni-
ably are?
