Just Returned From Missoula. From Marshal Carney it is learn­ ed that the Williamson girl, in com puny with Bert Montgome y, a grain handler who has been in the city for some time, and Ollie Maurer, the girl who had her father, Ed Maurer, ar­ rested some months ago for assault­ ing his wife, went three weeks ago to Sumpter, Weiser and Missoula. From the latter place a telegram was re­ ceived by the marshal a week ago. stating that the two girls were In Missoula and stranded, and that the Williamson girl admitted having taken $85 from her father tn this city. Carney went to the father, who was willing to send for the girl and offered to telegraph her a ticket, but she refused to return unless a ticket was sent for the Maurer girl as well. Williamson refused to do this, stating that as'the Maurer girl was the cause of her trouble she could leave her behind or stay with her. His daughter then consented to come home, and the ticket was sent. She arrived last night on the Hunt train. The Maurer girl, it ap pears, is still in Missoula. It is stated that the girl left a let­ ter for Bert Montgomery, in which she accused him of wrecking her life and cursed him for his share in her trouble.
