sell. Nathan disposed of the property
to Mrs. Belle B. Rooney, who was to
pay for it in monthly installments, Ma
han to collect the payments and turn
them over to Mr. ORourke. Some
months went by, Mr.. O'Rourke said,
without any payments being turned in,
and a short time ago he spoke to Ma
han about it. Nathan replied that Mrs.
Rooney had not made any payments,
but was good, and he would advise let
ting her take her time.
Mr. O'Rourke thought nothing more
of the matter, he said, until few days
ago he met Mrs. Rooney and took &C.
casion to inquire why she was deln-
quenlt in her payments and when she
would be able to get him some money.
He was astonished to learn she had
made her payments regularly to Ma
han. Before taking any legal steps Mr..
O'Rourke had Mrs. Rooney produce her
receipts, which she did, and he then
took the matter to the county attor-
ney's office. Mr.. O'Rourke stated the
total amount he claimed had been held
out on him to be s61. 40. and a complaint
for grand larceny was granted, which
was filed in Justice Nichols court when
the warrant issued.
Mahan is well known in both Butte
and Anaconda, having been in business

BUTTE News.
IN MRS. WILSON'S FAVOR
The Plaintiff in the Case Let 1t
Go by Default.
THE DEFENSE WAS READY
A Verdict Established the Wife's Claim
That She Is Sole Owner of the Prop
erty and That She Had Been
Cruelty Treated.

The divorce suit of Edward Wilson
against Allie Wilson, which had given
great promise of becoming sensational,
had been set for trial in Judge Lind
says court yesterday, but it ended
without the expectations of a sensa-
tion being realized, for the reason that
the plaintiff allowed the case to go
by default. In his complaint Wilson
charged his wife with undue intimacy
with Jere Clifford in room 3 of the
D'Acheul block in February, 1898. Will
son also sued for a division of their
community property, consisting of a
$500 house and lot in Ogden, $4,000
worth of furniture in the D'Acheul
block and several thousand dollars in
cash, all in the possession of Mrs.
Wilson. The latter filed cross bill
to the complaint, denying the charges
and also denying that her husband
had any interest or right to any part
of. the property. She also charged her
husband with cruelty, alleging that he
had beaten her on several occasions,
had struck her with a gun, and that he
never provided her with the common
necessaries of life. Mrs. Wilson also
charged that the plaintiff had been at
various times criminally intimate with
several unknown women.
When the case was called for trial
yesterday morning neither the plaintiff
nor his attorney were present. Mrs.
Wilson's attorney. however, insisted on
a jury trial on the cross bill, and a
jury. composed of stephen Kahn. Jo-
seph NJ Parland, Tim Murphy, John
J. Harrington, D. w. Tilton Pat
OLeary, William Rodda, j. r. Bor-
deaux, Henry Thomas, Pat O'Farrell,
Dan Courtney and Edward Broughton,
WAS called.
The deposition of Edwin Groshell was
read to the jury. He testified that he
had been a waiter in the Copper block
for three years and that he was &C
quainted with Ed Wilson. In February,
1897, Wilson roomed in the Copper block
and Groshell saw him in a compromis-
ing situation with a. woman named Fay
Templeton. They occupied the same
room and the witness frequently served
them with drinks. He saw them to-
gether at least three nights. Wilson
had roomed with another man, but the
latter left the room because the Temple
ton woman came UP SO often with Will
son.
Mrs. Wilson testified she married the
plaintiff at Salt Lake June l, 1891, and
said he never supported her, but that
she earned her own living by keeping
boarding and lodging houses. She also
told about her husband beating her
with a gun, and said two other women
told her they had lived with Wilson,
after which she refused to have any
thing more to do with him.
Mamie Demars of East Mercury
street testified about her knowledge
Of Wilson's abuse of his wife.
The jury signed a verdict for the de-
PENDANT to the effect that she was the
sole owner of the property involved, that
Wilson had been guilty of criminal in
ina yAynT an hnH fn 1pA tn
port the defendant and had treated her
cruelty.

DROWNED IN THE SURF
Mary Kemper of Butte Had Just
Rescued Her Sister.
SHE FELL BACK AND DIED

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Boston, Mass, July 12.-Mary B. KEN
per, a girl of 16, whose home is in Butte
Mont, was surf bathing at Nantasket
beach yesterday, when her younger sis
tec, whom she had been teaching to SWIM
went out beyond her depth and was seen
to sink. Mary quickly went to the rescue
and with difficulty brought her sister in
close to the shore. Then Mary suddenly
fell PROSTATE in the water and was dead
when assistance arrived. While many be-
lieve she was drowned as result of her
exhaustion in saving her sisters life.
others think she died of heart failure. The
body was recovered. The Kemper fam
lily has been passing the summer at cot
tage at Waveland near Nantasket.
Mary Kemper was the 1S-year-old
daughter of Simeon v. Kemper, one of the
directors of the State Savings bank of
Butte, and president of the Butte Land
& Investment company. About a year
ago Mrs. Kemper went east with her five
children, including Miss Mary, for the
purpose of placing them in a school there,
and they have been in the East ever
since. The eldest of the children is a boy
who has been attending Harvard ana
Miss Mary has been preparing herself for
Harvard annex and was to have entered
there upon the opening of the college this
fall.
Mr.. Kemper left Butte few days ago
for the East for the purpose of spending
a month with his family, but it is not
probable that he reached them before the
terrible accident to his eldest daughter. A
telegram received by business associate
in Butte stated that he left Chicago for
the East last Tuesday and therefore could
not have reached Nantasket before the oc-
currence of the accident No details of the
drowning had been received in Butte yes
terday, but a brief telegram announcing
the sad affair was received from Mrs.
Kemper. Miss Mary was born in Butte.
where she had lived up to the time she
went east, a year ago. She was bright
cir! with a very promising future.

Their Friendship Ceased.

A hearing was had yesterday tefore
Justice Nichols on an affidavit sworn
to by Anton Garbrino in an undertake
ing to have James Cote placed under
bonds to keep the peace. 1t appeared
from the evidence that Grabrno and
Cot are both residents of Basin creek,
an off-shoot of Browns gulch. Gar
brine is a wood chopper and for about
Is years had been using a road which
crossed Cote's property. Recently he
took UP a water right which Cote
wanted and friendship ceased. Cote
retaliated by fastening up gate Gar
brine had to pass through on his wood
road. From long custom he thought
he had a right to travel the rood ard
reopened the gate. Cote, he charged.
threatened him, but the evidence did
not justify granting the petition, and
the case was dismissed.

SIX ACCIDENTS.
Yesterday Was n Busy Day at Murray &
Freund's Hospital.

The surgeons at Murray & Freund's
hospital had an unusually busy day
with casualties yesterday, being called
| upon in no less than six different cases
of accident. None of the injured were
hurt seriously, however, though in one
instance a little girl had frightfully
close call to being run over and killed
on a railroad track.
| The 5-year-old daughter of Matt Fen
| ming, laborer living at No. Lincoln
avenue, Meaderville, wandered away
| from her home and during her stroll
came to the track of the Northern Pa
| cific railroad, where she sat down to
take a rest. A switch engine was at
work short distance away, but the
| child evidently did not know the dan
| ger and did not see the engine when 1t
started toward her. The engine got
| well under way before the engineer saw
the child, and then he was so close
upon her he could not stop in time,
though he tried hard, and was COM
PEELED to witness what he fully eX-
| pected would be the certain death of
the little one. Fortunately. however,
she was struck in such a way as to
throw her clear of the track and her
life was saved, though she was badly
| hurt.
The engine was stopped and the lit
tie girl picked up by the railroad men
and carried to her home, where DIR.
Murray was summoned to attend her.
The childs face was found to be ter
ribly lacerated and the bones of the
face fractured. The child will re-
cover.
DR.. Freund was called to Walkerville
during the day to attend an infant
child of j. L. Cruikshank, who was hurt
in a runaway accident. Mrs. Cruik-
shank and her children were out driv-
ing and the horse becoming frightened,
| ran away, throwing the occupants of
| the carriage out. The boys collar bone
was broken.
Hugh Black, a miner living at $40
East Galena street, was painfully in
! jured in an accident in the Rarus mine.
Black was assisting in unloading some
turn sheets from the cage at the 1000
foot level when the heavy iron plat s,
weighing 300 pounds, fell over on him.
His back was badly bruised and he sus-
tanned a severe scalp wound. He was
taken to Murray & Freunds.
Thomas Mclaughlin, miner en-
ployed at the Nipper, while at work
in the mine yesterday was struck on
the head by a falling rock and sus-
tanned an injury to the scalp which
will incapacitate him for work for some
time.
Leander Kivija, who lives at 1888 East
Broadway alley. fell from a porch,
striking his head on a rock and causing
a bad laceration of the scalp.
Frank A. Thompson was brought in
from Crystal Springs and taken to
Murray & Freunds to have a dislo-
Gated shoulder set, which he got from
fall.

An Extensive Wheel.

Justice Marsland of Walkerville i'm
posed a heavy sentence on a petit lar
ceny thief yesterday. The individual
was 0. Fountain, who was arrested
some days ago by the police for steal
ing a car wheel from the Boston &
Montana company. The wheel was
worth only about 81 or SO, but Fountain
was we'll known to have been engaged
in petty thievery for some time, and
when Deputy Prosecutor Alley made
out a clear case yesterday Judge Mars
land gave the fellow the limit, so days
in jail. When Fountain heard the
sentence a sickly smile overspread his
countenance and he observed laconi-
cally that he had some wheels in his
time, but this was the most expensive
one he ever got

MEXICAN STREET NAMES.
Every Block Has a Different Name-Odd
Sources of Nomenclature.

Every BLOCK Has Different Name-Odd
Sources of Nomenclature.
From Modern Mexico.
The street names of Mexico are
something really appalling to the new
conner Some years ago the streets of
the city were renamed systematically
with numerical avenues running east
and west, and streets north and south,
and although the new names are prom
inently posted on all the corner houses,
they are never used except in official
documents. Everyone uses the old
names. Many of these are place names,
or streets are named for some occur
renee or tradition, or for the character
of the trades that formerly predomi-
mated in them. The number of names
Is indefinitely multiplied because each
block Is regarded as a street and has
a separate name. When the name of a
street continues the same through more
than one block, the various squares are
designated as first, second, third, etc.
Many of the street names seem very
odd to foreigners. Those named for
the deity and religious personages are
numerous. For instance, there is the
Heart of Jesus street and the street of
the Holy Ghost; Ave Maria street and
the avenue of the Love of God. Others
are the street of the Saint of the True
Cross, the Arches of Bethlehem and
the Graves of Saint Sunday street; the
Bridge of Saint Peter and Saint Paul
and the street of the Crosses of Sor-
row. Not only are the names of streets
unusual, but they are often found in
the most homogeneous locations. Fol
instance, IL you walk down Jesus street
and continue in the second block, you
will be startled to find that you are
then on the street of the New Slaughter
House. The Alley of the Egg and Po-
tato street are just as likely to be the
prolongation of the Back of Saint Te-
resa street as any other. The street OF
the Seven Princes may no longer be
inhabited by royalty, but the avenue Of
Illustrious Men was named fol
real persons. The street of the Lost
Child derived its name from a popular
tradition, but the avenue of the Fifth Of
| May was named for a famous battle
| with the French. There are a large
number of the capitals streets named
| for living things. There are the stree
| of the Little Bird, street of the Fish
| Bull street and Goat street and street!
| of the Flies, Rats and Boosters. Their
| there are the streets named for various
| tradesmen, as the streets of the Hat.
| ters, Tobacconists, Coachmen, Milkmen
| etc One short block glories in thu
| name of the street of the False En-.
trance of Saint Andrew. The alley OF
| the Little Candle Shop, the street O.
| Heads, street of Thousand Wonders
| the square of the Thief are other oddi

Quick Work stems a Fire.

The plant of the Big Blackfoot MIL
ing company had an unpleasantly close
call yesterday afternoon to a repeti-
ton Of the fire which destroyed the
works about three years ago. While
little or no damage was done, this was
due wholly to the stroke of good for
tune which willed that the fire should
be discovered before it got start.
as it originated in exactly the same
manner as on the former occasion, by
a spark from the boiler room reaching
the roof of the planning mill, and there
being much infiammable material in
the building, had the discovery been
made but a very few minutes later, the
fire would doubtless have resulted dis
astrously. The employees of he ,.m-
pany acted promptly and had the fire
out by the time the fire department ar
rived.
