The woman of yesterday, and her
change, is nowhere more clearly shown
than among the daughters of the South;
petted, sheltered darlings, protected by
the chivalrous care of men, who were
always Economically tender and devot
ed to womankind from all that was
hard or likely to offend their delicacy,
they passed from the cradle to the
grave upon velvet, never touching the
common earth or soiling their tiny feet
with the dust Of common ways. Then
came the civil war, and with home and
friends swept away by one tremendous
cataclysm, the lovely clinging creature
was left either to trail helplessly up
on the ground and perish there, or to
develop new fiber, new forms and self
support; and the heroic treatment has
borne it's fruit, the terrible struggle has
given birth to the child of promise. and
both Southern and Northern women
of to-day are able and willing to make
for themselves high places in the world
into which they have been thrown"

EVIDENCE is COMPLETE
Fred DeLyle Held for Passing a
Forged Check.
Mr.. HESLEPS NAME USED
The Case Against Howard McKentv Ia
Dismissed. the State Not Desiring
to Push 1t Against Him
For the Present.

The case of the state against Franz,
Brown, alias Fred DeLyle, and Howard
McKenty, two of the three young for
gers captured by the police a couple of
weeks ago, was given preliminary
hearing before Justice Harrington YES
terday afternoon. The particular case
singled out from among the numerous
forgeries committed by the gang, upon
which to prosecute the defendant was
the one in which the defendant. De
Lyle, passed a forged check on Grant
Bartlett at Bakers restaurant. to
which the signature of ]. K. Heslet was
forged. The case against DeLyle was
conclusively proved and he was bound
over, but the case against young Nc
Kenty was dismissed. as the state did
not care to offer any evidence against
him at this time. Chief Deputy County
Attorney Cornelius Kelly represented
the state and Attorneys Breen and
Mackel appeared for DeLyle, while
Judge w. j. Naughten looked after the
interests of MeKenty.
Grant Bartlett, an employee of Bakers
restaurant, was called as the first wit
ness. He testified that on April 90 De-
Lyle presented a check to him and
asked him to cash it, The check was
for $40. was drawn on Clark's bank. in
favor of D. ]. Ellis, and signed by,J. K,
Heslet. He cashed the check. and when
it was sent to the bank it came hack
unhonored, having been declared for
gerry. The check was identified and Of
fered in evidence.
j. K. Heslet, assistant cashier of w
A. Clark q Bros bank, was called and
shown the check, to which his sigma
ture was attached. He denied having
signed it and disclaimed any knowledge
of the making of the check Cross-ex-
amined, he said the signature resem-
bled his writing.
City Detective Jerry Murphy told of
arresting DeLyle. The younger of the
defendants had informed him where
DeLyle roomed at the Lafayette house.
He went there and found a valise filled
with bogus checks. Presently a colored
man put in an appearance to get the
valise. When questioned, he said a
man had given him a dollar to come
for 1T. The colored man was given the
valise and told to take it to the man.
The witness followed and arrested De-
Lyle in the alley, which is the extern
sion of Galena street east of Arizona
street.
The state rested and Mr.. Kelly stated
he would not Introduce any evidence
against young McKenty at this time,
but would agree to a dismissal as far
as he was concerned. He, however,
would ask that McKenty be held, as
there were other charges of forgery
against him. al
Attorney Mackel moved for dismissal
on the ground that DeLyle had not
been arrested on a warrant and was
not Informed Of the charge against him
as required by law. The motion was
overruled, and as the defense had no
evidence to offer, DeLyle was bound
over for trial in bonds of $4,000. Both
prisoners were remanded to the Gus
tody Of the sheriff. ~

Mr.. ROCHEsTER's CELLAR.
A Vein of Ore Discovered and MIR. Lynch
Jumps the Claim.

Jumps the Claim.
Ras Rochester is having a cellar dug
for residence he proposes to erect
at the corner of Broadway and Ala
bama streets just west of Missoula
gulch. The cellar did not seem to him
quite deep enough, and a few days ago
he ordered it dug FIVE feet deeper
While engaged in deepening the cellar
the Workmen came upon 81 rich vein
of ore. 1t seems that the right for
the mineral in Mr.. Rochesters proper
ty had never been taken up, Rochester
himself only having title to the sur
face. Yesterday morning James III.
Lynch was on his way up town, and
in passing Rochester's new cellar he
noticed the streak of ore. So he stop
ped at the court house on his way to
his office and put in a claim for the
mineral right to Rochester's property.
About 10 minutes afterward Mr.. Roch-
ester himself appeared and tried to put
in a claim for the same mineral rights
and was greatly surprised to find that
he was just too late. When informed
who the man was who had forestall-
ed him, Mr.. Rochester started for the
office of Bachelor & Lynch with blood
oozing out of each eye.
II want to know what right you have
to jump my property" demanded Mr..
Rochester, the moment he got within
hitting distance of Lynch.
"Oh, that's all right" replied Lynch.
1T isn't right in big camp like this
to allow any mineral ground to go I'M
claimed, and as you had neglected your
duty, l considered myself in duty
bound to claim it. It's pretty rich
looking ground, isn't it?"
Rochester wasn't quite sure whether
that was. the proper moment to hit
Lynch or not, but he was inclined to
think that it was. While he was con-
sidering the matter, however, Mr..
Lynch came forward with an offer so
magnanimous that Rochester hasn't
fairly recovered his breath yet
See here, Rochester" said Lynch,
you're good fellow, and l have al
ways wanted to do something for you.
Then, too, don't just like the idea of
taking that land away from you I'll
tell you what I will do--I'll just make
you present of a third interest in that
mining claim of yours. 1t won't cost
you cent sr..
Thanks" gasped Rochester
Don't mention it'' said Lynch. Eyes,
I will take a drink with you, seeing
how it is. though I don't drink with
everybody at this time in the morn
ing"
of the ore and had it assayed. 1t went
500 in gold and 80 ounces in silver.
But Rochester already rues the day
that that ore vein was uncovered, and
he cannot figure out how he is going
to make enough out of the ore to pay
for the joshing of his friends.

WARNING SLAVONiANS.
Susan Kristoin Found Guilty by Jury
of Disturbing the Peace.

Another chapter in the history of the
recent difficulties among the Slavonians
of Butte passed into history yesterday
afternoon, assisted by Justice Bliss and
jury of South Butte. The case tried
was that of the state against Susan
Kristoin, who was charged by Mrs. M.
Kritko with using obscene and vulgar
language and disturbance of the peace
on May 3. Attorney Mike Donlan safe
guarded the defendants interests and
Roy S. Alley represented the state The
trial attracted a great many of the
countrymen of the defendant and the
prosecuting witness and the testimony
introduced was at times of so startling
a nature that it necessitated the tenn
porary withdrawal from the room of
the female witnesses. At the conclusion
of the trial the jury promptly returned
a verdict of guilty, and fixed the pun
ishment at fine of 81 and costs,
amounting in all to $22.
