Under Sheriff McGuigan communicated
with the girls mother. and the latter en-

Missoula is 125 miles from Butte. and
the girl had no money when she disap-

upon which to deduce the opinion that
she was assisted in Aer flight. She was

person induced her to run away, and
abetted her in the act. The girl is only

the Gardens. If he Is captured he Will
be prosecuted. and on account of the

Mrs. Roberts is Making q Long Dis

band Who Has APPLIED For a
Divorce-He Says She Re-

Catherine Roberts, whose husband,
John Roberts. of Beaverhead county. is
suing her for divorce, has decided to do
a little battling in her own behalf al
though there is a broad ocean and
mile or two of land between herself and
the plaintiff. She is resident of Can
ton, Switzerland. In his complaint Rob-
erts alleges that the marriage of the de-
fendant and himself took place in Te-
cino, Switzerland in 1885. but he has
been a resident of Montana nine years;
that he left Switzerland twelve years
ago and before starting had an under
standing with his wife to the effect that
as soon as he secured a location in this
country he would send for her and the
children: that a few years ago, after he
had settled in Beaverhead county. he
Sent his wife money for her transporta-
tion and maintenance enroute to Mon
tana but she refused to embark, saying
she did not want to come to this coun-
try to reside; that he has made repeated
efforts to have her come, but she refused
to leave her happy home in the Alps.
To this he adds that two years ago she
deserted him without his consent and
continues to live separate from him. The
complaint is verified on oath before John
G. Willis, notary for Beaverhead
county.
Mrs Roberts has now come forward
with an answer in which she denies the

says that before he started he told her
he would send for her and the children

ready and willing to leave Switzerland
and take up her home with the plaintiff
in Beaverhead county provided the
PLAINTIFF will send her the money to make
the trip. and has always been ready to
join him here, but she has no means with
which to pay the expense of the trip,
nor has she had money enough to do so
at any time since their marriage. She
says that for two years she has heard
nothing of her husband and his where

she wrote him and made diligent efforts
to locate him, but failed; that for many
years the plaintiff has failed and refused
to contribute to the support of herself

these allegations she adds that two

formed an intention to abandon her and
did abandon her without cause. She
says she has been Informed that her

MONTH OF FREAK WEATHER
Heat Two Degrees Higher Than a
Year Ago-Slight Rainfall-Fair
Weather Record.


Manager Wharton's record of the
weather for the past month shows a
, good many eccentricities. The weather
man seems to have been trying his hand
In the way of freak weather.
Compared with last year, the maxi
mum hot day of the month showed 81
degrees.
The maximum heat of the month was
s2 degrees, as compared with 80 degrees
last year. The minimum was 80, COM
colder, but again not so cold as last
The mean maximum was 80, or degrees
higher than last year. while the mean
minimum was 40, or 1 degree colder than
last July. It was hotter and colder at
the same breath. The nights were
colder, but again not so cold as last
year.
The rainfall was very small: so small
as to be hardly worth mentioning, only
OBS of an inch for the 81 days. Last
year it was 0.S3 during July. There were
n clear days, with hardly a cloud, while
last year had four less. In 1900 there
were six partly cloudy days and two
cloudy. while this year comes to the
front with but three partly cloudy and
one altogether cloudy. 1t is a fair
weather record that would stand al
most anywhere but in rainless desert.
It is the testimony Of most of the trav-
elers who have just returned from the
eastern states. where they may have
been visiting for the summer. and got
caught in the extremely hot weather that
has ruled in that part of the country,
that the people Of Montana do not begin
to appreciate the climate they live in.
