RAILROAD MAN IN TROUBLE
His Wife Charges Him With Threat
ening Her Life With Knife


c. H. Williams was arrested by Com
stable Boyle last evening ON a charge
of threatening to kill his wife, and he
is now in the county jail awaiting a
hearing. The prisoner has been in the
employ of a railroad company and lived
with his wife up until about four months
ago, when a separation occurred. Ac-
cording to the story related by Mrs.
Williams, their marriage took place in
Red Bluff, Cal, six years ago, and they
have been living in Butte about a year.
Williams has worked some since they
came here, but Mrs. Williams says he
has spent on himself the larger part Of
the money earned by him. She says she
left him four months ago. On the 18th
of this month, she says, he forced his
way into her room in the Caplice block
and cut up all of her clothing with
razor. In addition to this, she alleges
he threatened to kill her. and on one
occasion few days ago flourished re-
Volver in her presence and told her he
had decidede to end her life. During the
episode Mrs. Williams and another wo-
man present took the weapon from him.
Mrs. Williams also says that at another
time Williams drew a knife and threat
ened to cut her throat.

Warrants Issued for the Arrest of
Undertaken Richards and Sexton
Willoughby,

Warrants We're sworn out today for
the arrest Of Undertaken Richards and
Sexton Willoughby Of Mount Moriah
cemetery, charging them with having
conducted burials without first having
obtained the necessary permits. DR..
Leggat. the health official, swore to the
complaints.
Or. Leggat states that he has been
watching the matter of burial permits
for some time. and says that more war
rants will be issued unless the law is
complied With in this respect by the
undertakers and sections.
Undertaken Richards says he was al
ways careful about obtaining permits for,
all burials, and that the charges made
againt him are groundless. He had not
been served with the warrant at late
hour.
The complaint in the cases does not
specify any particular burial or time.
but makes a general allegation in the
matter.

INTEREST IN The COUPON CONTEST
MAGNIFICENT THROUGHOUT STATE.

Every day brings fresh evidence that
the Inter Mountain coupon contest is
catching on at a rate that no contest in
the state has ever approached. Interest
has been awakened all over the state,
and there appears to be no section in
which there is lack of ambition to
have candidate in the field. The coun-
try press has taken it up. The boys who
swing pencils on the enterprsing papers
of the state have seen the possibilities for
news in the movement and are standing
in with the Inter Mountain in the effort
to have Montana represented in some
substantial form at the Pan-American
exposition. Here is an interesting frag-
ment from the bright editorial page of
the Virginia City Madisonian. 1t tells
the whole story:

THOUGHT TO BE A MURDERER
Man Supposed to Be Frank Farley
Under Arrest in Marcus,
Washington.

Frank Farley, VINO on the night OF
March rs murdered Frank Green with
chair during an all-round fight in a sa-
loon in the Boulevard addition, is said to
he under arrest in Marcus, Wash, but it
Is probable he will be turned loose be-
fore the local authorities can arrange to
have him returned to Butte for trial.
A telegram announcing the presence Of
man supposed to be Farley in Marcus
was received at police headquarters last
night and Chief Reynolds Immediately
wired the authorities of that town to ar
rest ad hold the fugitive until further
orders.
No reward was ever offered for FAR
ley's apprehension, and Il is feared that
when the Marcus officials learn of this
fact they will not be particular about
holding the man under arrest.

MADE A BIC HIT !.
ATTORNEY j. F. F1RBlS SCORED
IN PENNSYLVANIA CASE.
DECLARES PROCEDURE ODD.
It Was Decided to Hear the Defend
ants Demurrer Before Going Into
the Details Of the Case-Judge Has
Taken the Matter Under Advise
ment-The Arguments.

The hearing on the order to show cause
why the defendant should not be en-
Joined from working certain parts of the
Pennsylvania mine in connection with
the suit of the Montana Ore Pure ha sins
company was commenced in Judge Clan
cey's court this morning. but it did not
go far.
When the matter was called it was de-
cided to hear the defendants demurrer
before going into the details of the case.
The demurrer was heard and the Judge
took it under advisement until June 4.
The Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany was represented by John j. McHat
ton and the defendant by John F. Forbis.
In arguing the demurrer the latter said
the proceeding of the plaintiff was re-
markable and unheard of in legal pro-
ceedings. The plaintiff had come into
court with an action to quiet title to
ground involved in another action now
pending in the courts of Montana, ask
ing the judge to adjudicate a matter that
had been already adjudicated by him in
stead of commencing proceedings for
contempt.
A short time ago the Boston & Mon
tana was restrained from working GER
tain parts of the Pennsylvania pending
the hearing of the order to show cause
why the order should not assume the
shape of an injunction. At that time
several hundred men We're thrown out
Of employment by reason of the order,
and the most of them have been 6gur-
ing on an early settlement of the diff
culties SO they could return to work. but
the far off decision on the demurrer will
keep them out a while longer. After
the decision is rendered the hearing on
the order to show cause will be taken
up again.
Attorney Forbis made great hit today
in the matter Of hearing the demurrer
before the order to show cause. He de-
sired to have the latter hearing take
place first, but the other side objected
and the judge ruled that it could not be
had until the demurrer had beSn pre-
scented. why, your honor said Mr.
Forbis, 1--WE have several demurrers
pending in cases in which you have
granted injunctions 1t is the case in the
Wetstein matter. In that cause YOU
granted the injunction and the demurrer
is still pending"
The "Wetstein case" is the one in
which Adolph Wetstein is suelng the
Boston & Montana company to quiet til
tie to quarter interest in the Com
manche claim, which was closed down
two months ago by order Of the judge
pending a hearing Of the suit.

THEY UPHOLD MATRoN KING
Associated Charities in Future May
Not Handle Children in Grim
inal Cases

AS a result Of the charges made against
Matron King OF the Paul Clark home.
to the Associated Charities, the truth Of
which that body denies, 1t has been prac-
tically decided by the Association that
in future no case will be handled where
in children are in any way connected
with criminal action. The poor farm
will no doubt hereafter have to handle
such cases as the Associated Charities
ladies, state they do not intend to be con-
nected in any way with an affair which
might bring up such row as has been
caused over the johnson children. 1t is
also probable that Mrs. King will resign
as matron Of the home although the as
stay with them.
Mrs. Legs Christie, president OF the AS
ISOLATED Charities says that she has ali
possible confidence in the matron and
she believes the charities association is
fortunate in securing the services Of such
a woman
It is evident from all reports of the
story connected with the trouble over the
Johnson children, that some one was at
fault and is not ready to admit it. On
Monday evening the little Johnson girl
left the Clark home and went to the
house of Miss Larkin. No. 1927 West Mer-
curry street, and she took the child to the
city Jail. Shortly after Mrs. King and
one of the nurses of the Paul Clark home
called at the Jail and asked that the
child be delivered to their care. Both
Mrs. King and the nurse say that Night
Jailer Shea refused to give up the girl
unless he was presented with an order
to that effect from a superior officer.
Mrs. johnson finally consented to give
the little girl over to the association. and
at this time it was claimed Mrs. King
was abusive to the girl and threatened
to spank her.
