TWO SIDES TO
FLYNN STORY
p. ]. FLYNN DENIES THAT HE HAS
FAILED TO PROVIDE FOR HIS
WIFE AND CHILDREN,
TO SUPPORTING
HIS GROWN-UP STEP-SON.
Wife Would Not Make the Young Man
! Pay For His Board so Flynn
Left Her.

p. j. Flynn filide an answer today to
the suit brought against him by his wife.
Annie, to compel him to support her and
their four minor children, and in the doc
ument verifies the old saying thai there
are always two sides to a story. In it
he admits their marriage in 1876 and the
existence of four children as the result:
admits that Mrs. Flynn has charge of
them, but denies that he has failed to
provide them and their mother with the
common necessaries of life during the
last year. He says he has contributed
to the best of his ability; that his wife
has Of her own will and accord maintain
ed a boarding and lodging house for
more than a year and has made ample
support for herself and minor children.
He denies that he deserted the plaintiff
without cause. He says the plaintiff has
a son named Anthony Iynott. who is 20
years old and a miner by occupations;
that the son Is by a former husband:
that he is fully capable of supporting
himself and for a year or more has done
So; that Mr.. Lynott has for years lived
with the family of the plaintiff, and al
though earning wages, has failed, refus-
ed and neglected to pay any amount as
board for himself; and That the keeping
and maintaining of Lynott has been a
serious drain upon his (defendants) re-
sources, and became a burden to him;
that on the 18th of March. this defend
ant. says Flynn, notified Lynott OF his
inability to longer support him and or
,dered his mother to collect a sum OF
money sufficient to compensate for his
board and lodging, all Of which she re-
fused 70 do. and added that she woul
live alone rather thar charge Lynott for
his board lodging. Flynn says fur
ther that since that date he has lived
separate and apart from his wife by and
with her will and consent. He denies
that she is in INDECENT circumstances or
without means with which to pay her
lawyer: that he is willing to support the
plaintiff and their minor children SO long
as he has the power to do 50 and is rec
ognized as the head of his family. but he
refuses to support an able-hodied man,
not his child. or to ALLOW the plaintiff to
place the burden of it upon him.
William E. Carroll is the
attorney.

YOUNG BOY STEALS TO BUY CAY
USES FROM INDIANS.
He Intended to Have a Dime Novel
Career-The Day in Police Court.

Charles Telling, precocious youth of
~ summers, was arrested last night at
the request of his father. Hhe boy has
gotten beyond the control of his parents
and may be sent to the reform school.
Last might, in the absence of his father.
he helped himself to $25 from the family
purse and proceeded to equip himself
for an expedition into the woods, con-
corning which he had read much in the
Beadle library publications. He enlist
ed into the scheme an adventurous youth
Of about the same age. The two boys
went to the camp of some indian near
Timbered Butte, and invested $40 Of
their funds in horse flesh. For this
amount they got two dimutive ponies.
and they had just paid Sc for brides Of
a very fancy pattern n had bought
half a box Of sweet crackers, when the
officers who had been put ON their trail
came up to them. The Telling boy was
taken to the city Jail. He took his arrest
very coolly, but kicked on the
dations furnished prisoners at the city
Jail.
E. F. Burnham, the energetic young
man who rings a bel in front Of a Park
street auction house, worked a little too
. hard last night, attracted too much at
! tention, made too much noise, attracted
a large row and was. arrested for dis
turbing the peace. He entered a plea Of
not guilty and his case was continued
until Tuesday.
John Fritz was fined $25 for carrying
concealed weapons. Fritz made a mild
gun play in the klondike saloon last
! night. He claimed that h bartender
! attempted to short change him. In pass
ing sentence Judge Sullivan gave formal
notice that he proposed to make the prac-
tice Of carrying revolvers in Butte an
expensive luxury. He gave FRITZ i well
deserved roast and said that n man
who were brought before him in the fu-
ture charged with this offense would be
severity dealt With.

THEY FOUGHT A DRAW.
Clever Battle Between McCarty and
Oglesby at VAUDEVILLE.

Young Jerry McCarty of Walkerville
fought Kid Oglesby, the Helena cham
pion, 20 rounds to a draw at Walkerville
last night. The result was a surprise. as
Oglesby is supposed to be one of the clev-
crest men of his class in the northwest,
and McCarty is young and almost UNI
tried. In making a stand-off with the
Helena boy McCarty demonstrated that
he has a future.
Until the twelfth u 1t was Ogles-
by's light. After that round mccarthy
was the freshest and did most of the
fighting. and at the end of the contest
honors We're even. The contest was a
very pretty one.

proposition to = young man named Lin

Robert Coombe. an attorney, was the
first witness for the prosecution. He
testified that on February Z, 1899, he pre-
pared the petition in bankruptcy of r.
A. Bartlett, containing schedules of liza
bilities and assets. AS near as the wit
ness could remember he had administered
the oath to Bartlett. The witness was
asked a number of questions by the de-
counsel, but the court would
aot allow him to answer them at this
time. Among other questions asked, was
the following:
Did Mr.. Bartlett state at the time he
filed the petition that he had paid his
wife amy money on account of an in
d~ebtedness he owed herr" The witness
answered: Yes" but an objection was
sustained and the answer was STRICKEN
OJt. Another question was:
Did you, as his attorney, advise him
at that time that 1T was not necessary
that he should include the same in his
petition?"
An objection TO this was sustained.
II. b.. Stephens, deputy clerk of the
United States court, testified to having
filed Bartlett's petition.
Mr.. Rodgers then offered he petition in
evidence, but Mediation offered a lengthy
objection, or rather a series of objections,
which the court overruled.
AT the noon hour the court adjourned
until Monday morning.

had made night of it. with some
friends. He knew that his conduct

his better half, and so, as he assembled
