Mckay is very proud Of the gift, as we'll
he might be, and says he thinks more OF

if it was from any other source. 1t GER

earned the respect OF the employees by the
faithful performance Of his duties to the

Identified at the Jail by Sergeant Weller.
of Fl. Missoula-He is Taken Back to
the Fort for Court Martial.
About a year ago a soldier who enlisted
under the name of Bremen, deserted from
TT. Missoula, and all trace Of him was lost
until about six months ago. A out that
time a man calling himself Frank Hurst in
formed the Butte police that a man named
Hahbercorn, then in Butte, was a deserter
from TT. Missoula. Habbercorn was ar
rested, and is now serving a term OF two
wears for desertion. When he was brought
back to the Fort, he informed the Officers
there that Hurst, who informed upon him,
was really Bremen, another deserter. The
police here were notified OF the fact, but
the man had disappeared. and could not
be found until December 20, when lie again
turned up on the streets, and was arrested
by Officer Young. He was lodged in Jail to
await identification, and yesterday Ser
seant Geo. Weller arrived from Fort Mis-
soula, and readily recognized the man as
Bremen, the deserter. Sergeant Weller
saws he soldiered with Bremen for a year,
and was therefore well acquainted with
him. He thinks it was a very cOntt mDtible
trick of Bremen to inform on Habbcrcorn,
who was worth Il shipload OF such men as
the informer. Sergeant Weller stayed at

GOULD N SAGE.
Their Crime Against the Kansas Pacific
B~ondholders Not Outlawed.

B~0ndholders Not Outlawed.
New YORK, December 3O.-District At.
torney MARITIME to-day filed the following
memorandum in the matter of the charges
made against Jay Gould and Russell Sage
by the b~ondholders of the Kansas Pacific
Railroad: This is an application to pre-
sent to the grand jury the charge OF Law
renee against Jay Gould and Russell Sage
under section 5 of the Penal Code. In my
opinion the acts with the commission Of
which the defendants stand charged consti-
tute Il crime. A feasible obstacle to the
successful prosecution of the persons CON-
planned OF is the statute OF limitations.
Yet there are strong reasons for believing
that this obstacle is not insurmountable.
The statute under which it is sought to
prosecute may be SO construed as to ena-
bile the people to proceed, notwithstanding
the statute Of limitations, and such con-
would have much support in
reason and common sense. The question
is so close, and the interests involved here,
well of the people as of the defendants,
are SO important, it seems proper to leave
the determination Of this, the question of
to the courts, and in order to effect
this result it should be laid before the
grand jury, and If possible, an Indictment
aud be tried"
