sumo His Duties When His
Commission Comes.

Mary Ellen Lappan, a girl of the im-
mature age of IA, in a delicate state OF
health, and John Gallagher. Old enough
to be her own father, both in Jail await
ing some dis position by the hand of JUS.
tice, tells the story of an awful crime
and the ruin and disgrace of chilli
whose youthful mind was too weak to
overhalance the influences of evil visited
upon her by a wretch whose punishment
should be a long term behind prison
walls.
The girl is the daughter of highly
respected family at Mill Creek, and CAT
lagi.er at one time worked on ranch
east OF Ana conda, but more recently has.
been employed on ranch about four
miles distant from Butte
The awful truth became known to the
parents of the young girl some little
time ago. and regardless of the en-
treaties made upon her to mend her
ways and become a good girl, she show :,
a disposition of incorrgibility. so it. was
decided to allow the law to play part
in the affair Accordingly warrant va
issued and she was brought to the cty
yesterday afternoon.
In the meantime Deputy Sheriff DAILY
was dispatched to Butte, and proceeded
from there to the place where Gallas CHE,
was living ana placed him under arrest
returning with his prisoner to Anaco ida
this morning.
In d talk mad with the girl yesterday
County Attorney Duffy explained the
fearful consequences if she continued :.
the path she had fallen into and told
her if necessary he would see that the
state would make her conduct herself in
a more becoming manner to which sht
responded:
No you won't. l will do just as
please, and l will see Gallagher if
want to-"
The girl admitted that she had .or
proper relations with the man who now
stands charged with the crime.
Gallagher hired out to man by the
name of Wright, who operates a ranch
at Browns Gulch near Butte. He was
sent into Butte yesterday for a load OF
hay. and as he was returning to the rancl
he was captured by Deputy Sheriff
Daily. who met him on the road.
The father Of the girl employed Gal
lagher to work for him last July anG
