Judge Sullivan Listened to Excuses and
Protestations.
A large congregation greeted Judge
Sullivan of the police court yesterday
morning and variety of excuses and
protestations We're heard. Some of
them were very interesting and some
quite absurd. The greater portion of
the attendance was made up of Sun
day decorators of the moral and civil
law of the community, and in the eff
fort to square themselves with his
honor some of the prisoners even went
so far as to suggest that maybe after
all the officers who arrested them had
erred. In order to get a better view
of the situation the judge set several
of the cases for trial this afternoon.
Miss Nellie Smith, young woman
who has seen better days and who a
few years ago was a leading society
belle in an Eastern village, the daugh-
ter Of a well-to farmer, took on her
periodical garb of blues and filled up
on bad whiskey. Then she went out
into the cool, crisp air of the early
morning yesterday and conducted her
self in a manner unbecoming the lady
she used to be. She talked loudly and
in tones suggestive of over indulgence
and reckless abandon. An officer came
along and towed her into port and dry
locked her She tc'S' the court that
she was sorry and he fined her IS, which
she paid.
The other day Frank Byman and Mrs.

THE PENNANT
Campbell Hunted Bears With
Giant Powder.
STORY TOLD BY FRIENDS
The Black Fellow Liked the Taste of
the Oily Stuff and Took His Last
Mouthful - Hunter Tells
Another Story.

r. M Campbell, the ex-alderman, re-
turned yesterday from the Big Hole
country where he has been hunting for
big game. He was successful in cap
turing couple of bear. and more or
less deer and smaller game. They tell
bear story on Mr.. Campbell which,
If true. entities him to the pennant. 1t
is related that he saw a big black fell
low on Wise river and that he got him.
The bear did not see the hunter until
ne had gotten within few feet of him,
and then instead of running away he
just turned around and looked squarely
in the hunters face. Up went the gun
and aim was taken. There was flash.
loud report and the ammunition was
exhausted. The bear still looked at his
pursuer, who was, to say the least, non
plussed. Taking in the situation at
another glance, it is stated that the
hunter threw his gun at the bear and
ran. But this is contradicted
The big black fellow gave his pursu-
er a look of disdain and lazily moved
off in the direction of camp. Mr.. Camp
bell followed. The bear kept about 100
feet in the lead and after going about
a mile disappeared in an old incline
shaft that ''seven-Up Pete used to
ewn and from which he took out about
a billion dollars worth of mining yarns.
When the hunter noticed the disappear
ance he was stricken with awe, it is
said.
Near at hand was an old cabin, and
in the cabin was a quantity of giant
powder and caps. it is said The story
relates that Mr. Campbell went into the
cabin and returned with handful of
the ammunition and disastrous designs
on the bear. He primed a stick of the
giant with cap and fuse and tossed the
dose down to the bear. whose eyes
could be plainly seen scintillating in the
semi-darkness of the cavern. The bear
smelt the oily dose and picked it up
with his mouth and rolled it around be
tween his teeth. In a minute there was
muffled report and the bears head
was past identification.
The hunter tells about the capture of
his prize in one way and his companions
tell about it in substance as above re-
lated.

"HOTEL. TOPsY TURVY."
1t Will Be Presented at the Grand Next
Wednesday Night.

Wednesday Night.
"Hotel Topsy Turvy," which has
earned a most enviable reputation in
New York and other cities, will be pre-
scented at the Grand next Thursday
night, beginning a three nights en-
gagement with Saturday matinee. The
play is said to abound with the mer-
riest kind of humor, sparkling dialogue
and situations and incidents that keep
the risibles keyed to a high pitch Of
mirth. Much of the story is told IN
song and the music is of the same
bright and catchy atmosphere that per-
meates the performance. The import
ant roles are played by Messrs. Eddie
Foy, who has many friends in Butte,
where he performed many years ago;
Burrell Barbaretto, Phil Fl. Riley, J. C.
NARROW, William f. Carroll, George
Roman, Gus Mortimer and Misses
Josie Dewitt, Octavia Barbe, BERTHE
Fowler, Pauline Duffield, Louise Rose
and Amelia Glover. The company num-
bers more than 40.
Hotel Topsy Turvy" has a story
which is good SO far as it goes, or
rather so far as any particular atten-
ton is likely to be paid to it, as before
the first act is fairly on it gets mixed
up with such a lot of hustling. busting
doings it's comparative absence, even
if not noticed, could not excite much
regret. There are good songs in it, neat
dances, pretty costumes and feminine
beauty to suit. The press notices which
precede it are as rule a combination
of the high-class criticism and praise
calculated to cast forth a most credit
able reflection.

Acker Got Divorce on Statutory
Grounds.
SHE ADMITTED HER GUILT
Her Husband Left Her in Sweden and
She Found Another Nest-Grossiler
Relates How He Was Forced
Into Marriage.
SHE ADMITTED HER GUILT

At yesterday mornings session of
court Judge Lindsay granted two di-
vorces In both of them the testimony
taken in offering proof was of a sensa-
tional nature. The first suit, in which
Neil r. Acker sued for legal separa-
ton from Bengta r. Acker, the COM
plant in which alleged that the cou-
pie were married in Sweden; that The
husband came to America and after his
departure his wife lived in open adul-
terry with one Adam Adamson.
The testimony was to the effect that
the plaintiff lived with the defendant
in Sweden for year and half ana
then emigrated to America. He cores
ponded with the defendant till 1894 and
sent her money but in that year the
correspondence ceased, the wife admit
ting in her last letter that she was liv-
ing with Adamson. This letter trans
lated to English was as follows:
''As my husband. Neil Rasmussen
Acker, departed from me to America
without thinking anything about me.
consequently I have transgressed and
at the same time transgressed the mar
riage contract. So we have on both
sides decided the cheapest decree to be
free from each other and SO as not to
come in any conflict with the.law SO
we have decided 1t SO that eacn one
must be good for himself or herself,
and that we after this are not to have
any dependence on each other. So our
marriage contract seems to us through
this to be united SO that one has no
right to rouse any lowly accusation
against the other or intrude upon the
others territory in any respect.
This is our positive decree that
what the law has prescribed it must
not apply against either of u.s.
1t was stated that the letter was
written by the defendant as a form of
agreement to separate, which she eX-
pected the husband to sign.
A decree was granted and the Gus
tody of the one child, the issue of the
marriage, was awarded to the hus-
band.
The second decree granted was in
the case of Francis x. Grossiler against
Verenika Grossiler. The testimony Of
fered in proof was to the effect that
the plaintiff met the defendant in May,
1892, in a public park in New York
and did not see her again till an hour
before the marriage in November of
the same year. He was then 10 years
of age and she was 80. He was a green
German and had only been in the coun-
try two years. The plaintiff said he
had never promised to marry the wo-
man, but she had heard he had some
money and determined to get some of
it., Two men walked up TO him and ar
rested him, saying that if he didn't
marry the woman he would get into
