TinchInskey Says J. 3. CaIIen A.
ienated Wife's Affections.


Dillon.-Somewhat of a sensational
damage suit was filed in the district
court here in which Nick Tinchinskey
of Butte is plaintiff and J. B. Callen,
well-to-do rancher near Wisdom, in
the Big Hole basin, is defendant.
Tinchinskey, in his complaint, states
that on Sept. Is, 1909, Callen induced
Mrs. Tinchinskey to leave her home In
Butte and go with him to his ranch
in the Big Hole basin under promise
of providing her work at good sal
airy; that at the time his wife was
just recovering from an operation and
was nervous and excitable and worry
ing over debts caused from the opera
ton, having pledged her diamonds,
worth $1,000, for money.
Tinchinskey, says he did not again
see his wife until month later, when
he went to see her at a hotel in Butte.
There he found Callen and his wife
occupying the same room. He de-
manded an explanation and was or
dered from the room. He says that
his wife and Callen induced him to
| sign away rights to piano and house
| hold furniture, which. he believes,
were taken to Callen's ranch. Then
turn to the ranch with him by offering
to pay for music lessons, give her
horseback rides and other induce.
ments.
The defendant says he has been in
formed and believes that Callen and
his wife have had improper relations;
that they had put up at hotels as
man and wife, and that this state
of affairs has existed for five months,
all of which were against his consent
and wish and that he has suffered
great distress of body and mind as a
result, damaging him in the sum OF
$4,000. The plaintiff prays for judy
ment against the defendant.
Callen is pronounced to be we'll fixed
financially and man about 60 years
of age. Joseph McCaffery and Joseph
H. Griffin of Butte appear as attor-
neys for the plaintiff.
