Margaret Burkle, pretty seventeen
year-old chorus girl was arrested 60

in Streeter's office. The next develop
ment was the mysterious suicide of
w. A. Streeter's chief clerk. 1t was
not shown, however. that Jennings
was involved in the Burke case.
Several days ago Charles Muhrke

cousin, and asked that she be paroled
After consulting with Muhrke and his
attorney Judge Carpenter ordered
Miss Burke paroled to Mrs Ophelia
Omigh, perinteadent of the Girls
Industrial Home at Geneva. Instead,
however, the girl was hurried from the
building and from the jurisdiction OF
the court.
The most startling feature of the
revelations is the charge that bribe
Of $4,000 was offered Juvenile court
officers to destroy the files in the
Burke case, which are now on record
with that court. A sweeping investi-
cation of the Juvenile court system IS
as ured as the result.

that this batch of ore will run a
little higher than the former car
load shipped. That gave returns
of s., 800 for the carioad-not such
bad showing. There is still a
great body of this ore showing up
in the mine as development work
progresses.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 14.-The alleged
populations of William P. Farrell, un-
til recently chief deputy for Clerk Of
Court Davies, now exceed $4,000, and
are expected eventually to reach $l2,-
900. ~ - = - =
Mr.. Davies is of the opinion that the
issuance of false warrants for jurors
and witness fees, by which method, it
is alleged, Farrell secured the money
did not originate in his term Of office.
Farrell was deputy in previous terms
and the clerk Of the court thinks the
acts charged to Farrell began before
he took charge of the office =
Farrell is in jail and as yet no charge
,h b s., fled against him, the officials
waiting untilthe checking Of his books
is completed. Dancer, who bought the
alleged counterfeit warrants, is also in
Jail: He denies that he knew the. war
rants sold to him by Farrell were bogus.
What, if any, is the responsibility Of
Dancer under the criminal law, remains
to be seen.
