Il GALENA STREET CRATER
WHOSE EXPLOIT PROVED
EXPENSIVE.

Lilly Woods, who, like the lilies Of Solo
mon, tolls not, neither does she spin, ex-
cept when she spins some yarn in police
court in explanation of some question:
able exploit, was before Judge Terrell
this mornin charged with running a
house Of prostitution. The charge was
placed against her because it is one that
will not bear disputation with a woman
of Lilies class. Her real offense, how
ever, was robbery. She was arrested on
complaint Of a man who ventured into
her clutches last night and who was
~''touched' for $35. She pleaded guilty.
II have ~inaugurated a plan which I
think will effect a reformation among the
Galena street women who rob men, and
in of this plan I will fine you
800 and COSTS said his honor.
Yesterday Frisco Nell was fined a like
sum. Heretofore the customary fine for
dive robberies has been $25, but the au-
thorlties propose to put the tariff so
high that it will be p~rohibitive.
The Woods woman went to Jail.
john Taylor, who was arrested last
night for the theft of several pairs Of
rubber boots, pleaded not guilty to the
charge of petit larceny, and his case will
be heard later.

An interesting civil suit was tried be-

In 1898 DR.. Leo Hagenberger performed
professional services for Caesar Ruffa
and his wife, and put in a bill for $500,
claiming that he had rendered such SER
vices for three months and had an agree
ment with Mr.. and Mrs. Ruffa on the
amount to be paid, which was $500. In
his complaint he alleged that he had been
paid $175, and his suit was therefore to re-
cover Judgment for the other 1925.
In answer to the complaint the Ruffas
admitted the service of the doctor, but de-
MED that any agreement had been enter
ed into regarding the mount to be paid;
that his services We're valued at only
$97 so and they had paid him 5000. In view
of his they put in a counter claim for
$102. 30. After hearing the testimony the

John Noyes instituted an action in the
district court last evening to stop the
sale of the Cora mine to F. Augustus
Helnze, VIC has the property under lease
and bond. The defendants in the action
are w. H. Young, J. X. Heslet, F. A..

tered into an agreement with Price to pay
him out of the profits Of a lease on or the
sale of the mine. He gave Price a lien
on the property. Before the money be-
came due Price transferred his right to
Noyes. In 1895 Young and other owners
of the mine, it is further alleged, without

the extent of about $500 and did not ac-
count to Noyes for half of the amount, to
which he was entitled under the Price
agreement.

ing the property of the New York Boston
and Montana Mining to the
Montana Boston and Montana Mining
company was filed for record in the office
of the clerk and recorder shortly before
the hour for closing yesterday after

business and settles the controversy be-
tween Forester, O'Connor and Maginnis
one one side and the Boston and Montana

was ordered by the board of directors
right after the supreme court decided that
the Montana corporation could not trans
fer it's property to the New York COM
pany except by the unanimous consent of
the stockholders.

A GANG OF
YOUNG F0RGERS
THREE OF THEM ARE NOW IN THE
HANDS OF THE POLICE.

Three youthful forgers h have been
operating extensively in Butte recently
are in the tolls. Two were arrested in
conda by City Detective Murphy, yester-
day morning. One is H. B. Smith, a
brother of Major W. Smith, and at one
time associated with his brother in the
insurance business, but with whom he
quarreled after misappropriating $500 of
the firms money. The names of the 9TH
ers under arrest are a man named DeLyle
and John Mack, or Dexter. a boy. An
other member of the gang, whose name is
Higgins, has not yet been apprehended.
Saturday evening young Dexter went
into r. C. Slemmons' place of business on
West Park street, and asked Mr.. Slem-
mons TO cash a 1924 check for him.. The
check was drawn on Clark's bank, in
Henry Davis favor, and was signed by
]. K. Heslett, the assistant cashier OF
the bank, endorsed by Henry DAVIS and
Major W. Smith and Brother, and as the
check looked good, Mr.. Slemmons cashed
1t. AS soon as the young man had taken
his departure Slemmons called up Major
Smith, and learned over the telephone,
that the check was not worth the paper
on which it was written and that he had
been victimized to the extent of $24. He
Immediately notified Sergeant McGrath,
and accompanied the officer in the search
for the forger. About 1890 they found
him on the corner of Park and Main
street. He was talking to two men. The
officer arrested Dexter, and at the Jail ne
rave his name as Henry Brown. On his
person was found $55. Learning that the
youth had a room in the Lafayette house
in East Park street, Detective Murphy

checks to which the names Of j. Y. Long,

Inns, j. K. Heslet and Thomas Carter, pre-
! sumably senator Carter, were signed
He also found a bunch of blank checks
from Denver and Sal Lake, from which
it is supposed the gang operated in those
cities also.
A watch was set for the return of the
others to the room. One of the gang evil
IDENTIFY got a tip for he sent a colored boy
to the room for his grip. The colored lac
was given the grip and the officers follow
ed him and at the corner of Mercury an(
Arizona street arrested the forger who
gave the name of Fred Delye. He wor,
a false mustache and a police star ant
had a gun in his possession.
After the latter's arrest young Dexte
confessed n told the officers the thirt
member of the gang Smith, was in n
! conda, where he was found yesterday b.
Detective Murphy. He is supposed to b
the penman of the outfit. His method o
operations was to apply by letter t.
prominent merchants of Butte for worl
and Their copy the signatures received il
reply. An attempt had been made a
various places to dispose of other checks
but they had been refused as the partie
to whom they were rendered were sus
picious that they were not genuine.
Smiths downfall dates from his ac
uuaintance with a woman OF the tow
known as Fanny Smith, with whom h
went to Colorado. Smith confesses tina
