One Of the McAuiiHe- Madden Combination

During the recent visit of Jack McAulifie
and Billy Madden in Helena. one of the
combination Mr.. Davy, who is rcputed to
be a very fast sprinter, tackled tue tiger in
his lair and was lucky enough to get away
with about 5000. This greatly inflated the
trio of sports, who were already about the
biggest men in the country in their own es-
timation. "Ah, we understand something
about cards, too, don't you know" This

people Of this benighted western country
that they didn't amount TO shucks. After

who was standing by, said that II WIS not
worth mentioning; that there wasn't a
rounder in Town who didn't lose and win
more than that every morning before
breakfast. The sport had nothing more 10
say during his sojourn here about his great
play at faro, but he is doubtless now en-
tightening the people of San Francisco as
TO how he scooped tue bank in Helena.

Copy of the above notice and petition
received by me, this Dist day of October,
A. D., 1890. Francisco CHAVEZ,
Sheriff and Ex.Ofiicio Collector
By GEO. CUYLER PRESTON, his Atty.
Judge Seeds has set Friday next for
consld ration of the matter As will be
noted by reference to the list of the sheriff
and collectors bondsmen published in an
other column, Messrs. Yrisarri and Kirch-
ner are the largest subscribers as sureties
on this bond, and in view Of the present
complications of the sheriff and collec-
tors accounts this attempt to be released
from all responsibility in the premises, Is
significant, to say the least.
In no event can the suretles at present
on the bond be released until new
bond is forthcoming. As to the amount
Of the new bond, the matter rests largely
in the discretion of the court. The law
says that the sheriff's bond shall in no
case be { II less than $4,000, and as col
ector it shall be for double the amount
of taxes to be collected, while it may be
made greater at the option of the judge.
Accordingly the least possible amount
that the new bond can call for Is $780,
95086.
