RESTORED TO father.
Little Florence Griffiths and Father
Reunited.

After separation of twelve years
pretty little Florence Griffiths, the pro-
tege Of the police and fire departments Of
the city, and her father Thomas Griffiths
were reunited last night. The meeting
between father and daughter was an
affecting one and Mr. Griffiths intends to
make Butte his future home and take
care of his little girl.
Some time ago Florence made her ap-
pearance in the police station and asked
help in finding her father. saying that
she had been living with relatives in this
city who had turned her out of the house
and she was without friends and home.
Twelve years previously her mother had
died and her father had come to Amer
lea in search of his fortune. She and her
sister were placed in an institution Of
learning in Wales and since that time she
had never seen her father.
Florence is q bright winsOme lass of %

mediately enlisted the sympathies of all
the policemen, f1remNn and newspaper
men in her behalf. Chief of Police Lavell
ad Richard Butler were active in behalf
of the girl and saw to 1t Shat she was
well taken care Of and that no harm be-
fell her while the hunt was made for the
father. Every day Florence visited the
police station and the implicit trust she
placed in the blue coated guardians Of
the peace made every one of them her
sworn friends and anyone would have
been more than rash to have offered In
suit to their little ward.
In the course of time the father was To-
Gated in Colorado and when he learned
that his daughter whom he had not seen
for II years was waiting in Butte Tor

was that he had lost his only son in
smelter at Great Falls two years ago
and since that time he had not cared
much how ne lived or what became Of
him. Mr.. Griffiths is fine looking man
and Florence is very proud OF him. To-
day she was introducing him to all Of
her friends.

the legislature should have first passed
