She says that before he started he told her he would send for her and the children as soon as he settled down in this coun try. but he has failed to furnish the ne cessary transportation although fre quently requested to do so. She say she is ready and willing to leave Switzerland and take up her home with the plaintiff in Beaverhead county provided the planitiff 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 abouts have been unknown to her; that 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 thè support of herself and their children and she has been compelled to earn her own living. To these allegations she adds that two years ago and prior thereto the plaintiff formed an intention to abandon her and did abandon her without cause. She says she has been informed that her husband has considerable property in Beaverhead county and is amply able to support the children and herself. She therefore asks the court to compel Him to pay her $25 a month permanent ali mony and give her the custody of the children, aged 14. 12 and 11 years re spect iifcjiy. J. B.

"The law Is going to be enforced Ik every part of the state," said Mr. Don«L van, when seen at the Thornton this efternoon. "My visit to Anaconda as. sures its success in that city.

She wore a chip hat with the pin thrust through it, and so tyhe weapon for self-spitting was conveniently at hand. The woman was very ill from liquor drinking, if her semi-comatose semi fainting condition part of the time just after she was brought to the jail was to be taken as evidence of conduct not as yet very far wafted into the past She was escorted into the jail alley by a male friend, said to be a barkeeper at Page's saloon. The jailor took her off the friend's hands there and incarcerat ed her and booked her on a charge St drunk. While the man who was with her remained at the jail she did not show any perturbation of spirit. But as soon as he departed she had an attack of fear and wept. After this she drew the hat pin frorti her hat and undertook to puncture heç self in the region of the breast. The, whalebone in her corsets resisted the attack and she only succeeded in urn ing- out of her hands a very badly bent pin. which needed to go to the black smith, or, wherever the softer sex get such implements repaired, before re suming business as a hat fastener. The jailor discovered her in the act while the jabbing performance was in prog ress, and took possession of the inef fective weapon. After this the young woman proceeded to grow exceedingly sick and to faint. Her condition looked serious, and Jailor Levy tried to call up Dr. Leggat. Not being able to catch the physician he applied restoratives himself, loosenrd the patient's frock, gave her a glass of iced spring water and revived her. At Judge Boyle's morning session her case was presented and she was fined five dollars for being drunk. The fine was paid and she was removed from the jail in a hack. Aggie Sharp and Mrs. Murphy were required to pay five dollars each by Judge Boyle at their hearing this morn ing. Three fighters named Fred Rog ers, Thos. Williams and Sam Johnson were fined five dollars each for their fistic revelry. The Syrian drama presented before Judge Boyle, in which Cheriff, Onq, Peter and Sol Resik had Antoniq',g place before the court as defendant's on a charge of assaulting one Magie Stevens, was concluded last evening after several acts covering several days.

Officer Young, who has the matter in charge, has not been able to unearth Reynolds. A RUNAWAY GIRL IS CAPTURED Angie Cummings, Who Disappeared on Sunday Night, Taken Into Custody at Missoula. Angie Cummings, one of the hand of young girls in their early teens who have taken it into their minds within the past week to abandon home and parents and run away from the city, was discovered at Missoula yesterday and taken into custody today. She will be brought back home tomorrow. Angie disappeared Sunday night, and her whereabouts was a mystery till a telephone message from the Missoula officials was received at the sheriff's this morning. Her mother, who is Mrs! John Cummings, and who resides on the cemetery boulevard, in the southern part of town, was almost distracted by hçr absence, and instigated the officers to search for her. The girl's true name la Arback. she being a child of Mrs. Cuiq, mings by a former husband.

Mr. Donovan is a resident of Great ' Falls, and is justly proud of his home. "Great Falls is the finest home city in : the state," he said. "A larger proportion of the people own their own homes in that place than in any other city of Montana. The city Is not having a boom, but is growing rapidly and stead iiy. "Work on the new court house is be ing carried on as rapidly as possible. There was some little difficulty with the contractor over the quality of material being used, and the work stopped for a time, but is now going on. It will be the finest court house in the state, with out doubt. The new cut-off on the Great Northern, east of Great Falls, will be a good thing for business, making rail road facilities much better than they now are.

The under sheriff answered that she was. and requested the Missoula officer to arrest her. The lauer said he had her located, and later telephoned that she was under arrest. Under Sheriff McGuigan communicated with the girl's mother, and the latter en tered a complaint here charging her with incorrigibility. An officer will take the warrant for her to Missoula tonight and return with her tomorrow. Missoula is 125 miles from Butte, and the girl had no money when she disap peared. In these facts there are grounds upon which to deduce the opinion that she was assisted in fter flight. She was seen with a man at Columbia Gardens Sunday night and it is believed that that person Induced her to run away, and abetted her in the ac-t. The girl Is only 13 years of age, but of large stature. The sheriff of Missoula was Instructed to make a search for the man seen at the Gardens. If he Is captured he will be prosecuted, and on account of the tender age of the girl he will be se verely punished if convicted. The police are still looking for Minnie Fairchild and Mabel McAlvin, who left Butte July 30 with a man who is de scribed as small and light complexions«. The Fairchild girl is 17 and the McAlvin girl 16 years of age. The first named is tall and has light hair and brown eyes SUe was dressed in a light blue "and white dress, with a lace yoke, and wore a sailor hat with a white band. The other girl has brown hair and eyes and rosy cheeks. She wore a blue and wh.*e lawn dress, ruffled thrice at the bottom, and a red paper hat with a black band. The girls are supposed to have gene to Salt Lake. There was no news of them today. A dispatch to the sheriff's office late this afternoon states that Minnie Fair child and Mabel McAlvin whose disap pearance was reported to the county au thorities last evening, have been located at Divide, where they are visiting a friend. They had written their parents but the letter failed to reach its destina tion before the alarm about their disap pearance was given. 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 92 degrees. The maximum heat of the month was 92 degrees, as compared with 90 degrees last year. The minimum was 33, com colder, but again not so cold as last The mean maximum was 82, or 5 degrees higher than last year, while the mean minimum was 49, 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 0.35 of an Inch for the 31 days. Last year it was 0.83 during July. There were 27 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. It is a fair weather record that would stand al most anywhere but in a 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.
