Young Wife's Pitiable Situa-
ton Here.
IN A HOUSE OF [SHAME
Where She Was Placed BY Her HuS-
band Who is Being Searched
For by the Police.

The outrages of northern Wisconsin
whereby innocent girls We're forced into
brothels, is no worse than a case Ana
conda has at present. Early Saturday
morning a Frenchman came into town
with his bride of a few weeks and forced
her into a crib over in Mainville, where
she is now an outcast through force Of
circumstances The girl is not 10 years
of age, and met and we'd the man who
cast her in her present abode a short
time ago. When they came to Anaconda
it was early in the morning and she was
taken to Mainville, she believing it was a
residence he had rented from a friend.
Since then she has remained there not
knowing where to go. She does not APP
pear to be very bright. The police at once
detected that she was not q member of
the fallen class and began to make in
uuiries, which resulted in her horrible
story Of abuse from her husband to which
she fell an unwilling victim. Her hus-
band, the nan who caused her ruin, is
said to be a degraded fellow, who is now
being hunted by the police and when
caught will be prosecuted to the full eX-
tent of the law.

THE WASHOE

1t is understood that ground for the
new Washoe shelters east of Anaconda

hill where an immense amount of rock
work will have to be done n can be
done during the winter as we'll as any
other time of the year. Who the c%ontrac-
tors are for the excavation is unknown
but it is claimed to be Hartman & Jen-
nlngs, who during the past IS months
have done the greater part of such work
for the Anaconda Copper Mining COM

these contractors no doubt have the con-
tract. MI. DAILY is expected home any day

ed with interest for it is the general i'm
preston that he will begin to make
things move in the construction of the

GET
ACCUSTOMED

New York, Jan. "a dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: Havana has
passed the freest Sunday it has known
for years. The constraint that was upon
the people has been removed. Today was
Under Spanish rule the flag was display
ed on Sundays and on church or national
holidays. Cuban followed the old obser-
vances to the extent of putting out Cuban
flags. The society known as the Centre
Austuriano, which in the days of insur-
rection and war was the center of 10y
atty, put out the Spanish flag. Nobody
made objection and no ill feeling is
shown. This may have been because the
Stars and Stripes We're floating over the
forts and government buildings. The feel
ing of relief among the people was quite
evident
Havana merchants are becoming ac-
customed to the new customs house
methods. One of the largest importing
firms had arranged with the Spanish
officials for a large importation of coffee.
Usually coffee was manifested as corn.
This time it was put down as beans. The
hip was expected to arrive before the
American control was assumed but was
delayed. The c~onsignees fidgeted around
the customs mousse nome LOT SeNSIdi udyS
and finally explained hat the manifest
of the cargo they We're expecting had
been arranged under Spanish procedure
and they wanted an opportunity to enter
it under a true manifest. Another i'm
porter, a wine merchant, was in similar
dilemma and had to clear himself in the
same manner.
Collector Bliss has received many let
ters from importers charging their rivals
with smuggling. These are invariably
answered with the official statement that
a reward of 20 per cent will be paid by the
American government for evidences of
customs frauds and the complaining per-
sons are invited to furiSh the evidence on
which their complaints are based. Gener-
ally they content themselves with saying
that the firm of which they complain has
been in the habit of practicing rauds
but they ave no specific evidence of
wrong doing. Under the present admin
iStration the importers are satisfied that
it will be safer to be honest.
Isolated cases of crime are reported.
They have no political bearing and only
emphasize the fact that in the days of
Spanish authority a large crimina ele-
ment was turned loose in Havana. Chief
private house yesterday and last night
two hold up" rObberies were reported in
front of the house to which he moved.
They We're attributed to manigos. In
spite of this instance, the Tenth infantry
is maintaining a fairly active patrol
pending the police organization.

THE POOR

Anaconda Recorder: The poor of Ana
conda found at least one benefactor on
Christmas day. He did not parade his
charity and he will doubtless roast the
editor for mentioning the incident when
he sees this item. We do not know that
he goes to church regularly-in fact we
have never seen him at prayer meeting or
a revival; but it is evident he has more
Christian charity in his big heart than
many who attend regularly. For Christ
mas Mr.. j.. T.. Carroll of this city distrib-
uted among the poor of this city some
thing more than one thousand pounds of
turkey, purchased from his old Missouri
home; also five thousand pounds of -four.
This was his individual enterprise and
the distribution was made through the
ministers of the gospel representing the
various churches, from whom we lave
learned Of the noble and transformations
charity.
