from custody last night by order of
County Attorney Breen the complainant,
Anton Cronik, who is the husband of
the woman. failing to swear to a COM
plant Cronik left town and returned
to his stone quarry yesterday without
preferring the complaint properly. and
there was nothing upon which to try the
defendants. So the county attorney con-
cla'ed to let them go.
Before leaving the city Cronik put the
n.&tter of procuring a divorce for him
il, the hands of Attorney Bert Marsh.
He Claims to have some property in Hell
ena, and he wants to secure that for
himself as we'll as to be separated from
the woman. The latter says that she

not Cronik's wife. There is notice.
able Discrepancy in these statements.
Jessie Woods. a colored woman who
lives in Pleasant Alley, was arrested last
night on a charge of assault in the
third degree, preferred by another col
ored woman named Maggie Mitchell,
who lives next door to her. The COM
plainant alleges that the defendant Wis
tied her last night, and incidentally beat
her up a lot She says that the defen-
dant keeps what is known as a hop
joint" and that the beating was admin
istered on suspicion that the complain
ant had made this fact known to the
police. The compliments theory is that
the defendant wants to sell hops" with
out being advertised, and resented the
publicity that she suspected the COM
planant of giving to her business with
the assault. The defendant pleaded not
guilty at her arraignment in Judge
Boyle's court this morning, and her
trial was set for Friday afternoon. Her
bond was fixed at $50.
James Kelly and George Stanley were
arrested last night on a charge of yag
rancy, and this morning they pleaded
guilty in Judge Boyle's court. The court
gave them till 6 o'clock tonight to de-
part from the city, it being provided
that their failure to leave by then should
be punished with 60 days in jail.

ing house. In Judge Boyle's court this
morning she denied the fighting but adj
mitted the disturbance.
You were just shooting your mouth
OFF," said the judge.
Yes. sab: dats ALL Susie answered,
and the court fined her $40.
Susie was Pearl Smith when in jail
three days ago. and day after tomorrow
she will probably reappear as Angelina

quite as dearly as an actress or an au-
thoreSS.
The case against John O'Meara, charg-
ed with assault and battery, was dis
missed this morning by Judge Boyle, as
the complainant did not appear in court
ITO prosecute the charge.

dence was contradictory and inconclu-
eive and the defendant vas discharged.
THE case of Jerry Murphy, who was
