st. Paul Importers of Cigars.

Messrs. Kennedy 81 Chittenden, doing
business at the corner Of Fifth and Waba-
shaw streets, on yesterday received four
cases Of cigars direct from Havana, Cuba,
the import duties alone amounting to $500.
1t may be said in this competition, fact not
generally understood, that this firm are the
only direct importers of cigars in st. Paul and
in this respect they occupy the field alone.
This of itself is an immense advantage,
and while the benefit to consumers is great
it reflects great credit both on the firm and
the citizens Of st. Paul, who should feel hon
ored in having so enterprising firm in their
midst. The importation alluded to comprises
20, 000 cigars Of the very choicest brands, and
all lovers of the narcotic weed are recon-
mended to trial of the fragrant Havanas,
which in this instance have something to
commend them besides the mere name.
ClAmong the fayorite brands of cigars in
this importation may be named the Henry
Clay, La Venus, La Santa, Isabella, Flora
De Thomas and Africana, all of which are
famous for their purity of material, fine
favor and delicate brand. Messrs Kennedy
d Chittenden are in direct correspondence
with eight factories III Cuba, and the brands
named are made from the purest leaf
grown.
It may be said in conclusion, that all credit
is due the. firm above named, for their enter
prise in catering to the best patronage in ST.
Paul, and their efforts should receive the lib
I eral recognition they so justly merit.

TauLOr's Statement.

After L. f. or "Steve'' Taylor was re-
manded to the custody of Sheriff Connolly
yesterday afternoon, in conversation with
a GLOBE reporter, without the reach of the
ears of the officer or his companions, he said:
That he left Miles City, where he was never
placed under arrest, and after remaining
here short time, and being in poor health
concluded to go south and spend most of the
winter in chihuahua, New Mexico, where his
wife joined him. Here they were
joined by County Commissioner Russell
Briggs of Miles City and his wife, the former
being implicated in the Custer county
order and bond transactions. They all
boarded at the same hotel when Briggs be-
coming impecunious kept drawing on him,
Taylor, for his board and other expenses.
Upon his rerraining to be thus OWNED
Briggs wife commenced to inform on him,
when Briggs suddenly left the country in
disgust and was last heard Of at the Sand
wich Islands, and the latter's wife returned
to st. Paul where she now resides.
About ten days ago he, Taylor, was sur
prised to be visited by Sheriff James Conn
oily accompanied by Texas, COW boy on his
New Mexico ranch, some ninety miles from
Ell Paso, Texas. They found him in the
field sowing cabbage seed The sheriff stated
that he wanted him to 60 back to Montana to
be present at the opening of the court on
April II, that he had no papers for his arrest
in New Mexico, but that he had eXtradition
papers for his arrest at FL Paso. He
had long talk with the sheriff and having
become thoroughly Disguised with the life he
was leading, and being very poor in health
and purse he concluded then and there he
would 90 back to Miles City and stand trial,
and that, though he was implicated in the
Custer county transactions, that he could
clear himself. Consequently he came with
out any compulsion but with his own free
will and accord, to Ell Paso, and allowed the
extradition papers to be served upon him leav
his wife there 'e,lis was, he said in con-
clusion, the first time in his life that he ever
was under the ban Of the law, and that he
had chad enough of lodging its demands in
his"
The reporter asked what would be the pur-
port of his testimony in the court, but he was
silent on the subject, though Sheriff Connolly
afterwards said that only by his testimony
could the number and amount Of the forged
Custer county orders and bonds be ascer-
tanned.
