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.
