SOME STORIES OF MILLIONAIRE BBOADwATER.
Col. Broadwater was one Of tho curious
characters Of this region. He died worth sew
eral millions not long ago and he was inter-
ested in nearly everything of note in Montana
for years He was in New York at about the
time of the Barring Brothers failure and he
grew Disguised at tho lack of attention which
he received from the capitalists there. One
day he said: II am going home. Every one
knows here that / am worth over 50 900 900
and I can't for the life of me borrow 1000.
i am going back to Montana, where money
means something. and he went.
Broadwater was bOw-legged and this makes
me think of story | heard yesterday OF tine
feud between Maj. Maginnis and Senator San
ders. Sanders and Maginnis have at different
times in their lives been opposed to each other
and Sanders sometimes makes remarks about
Maginnis which are by no means compliment
tary. Not long ago he was speaking of Ma
ginnis as a politician and he said: Mai. Ma
ginnls Is all things to all men, in order that he
may deceive them. He is a republican TO a re-
publican, o democrat to a democrat. Presby-
terrain toa Presbyterian and. by Jove. he is
even bow-legged to Broadwater.'
BY the way, / understand that Senator San
ders will settle down to his law practice in
Helena. He has big practice and he has made
two or three fortunes at the law. He is not
great accumulation and he spends nearly all he
makes He Is interested in some mines which
NAV turn out well and he owns n fine brick
residence in Helena which overlooks the city.
WHAT TOM CARTER Is DOING.
Mr.. Thomas A. Carter. who was at the
head Of the republican national committee last
year, has left Montana for a trip throughout
Washington state with Congressman John l..
Wilson of Spokane. and the two will probably
investigate some of the new enterprises of
Puget sound and may make some investments
In that region. Carter is we!l-to-dO. He has
fine house in Helena, which he keeps up.
though during the past four years he has spent
the most of hIs time in the east. He is worth
something over a hundred thousand dollars.
and he has father-in-law worth over million.
He is jolly good fellow and does not lie awake
at night thinking about President Harrison
and his unfortunate campaign. | met Mr..
Carter during nv stay in Helena and / asked
him if he ever made any money in mining.
NO, he replied. Il own lots of mining
stock, but | never made anything to speak OF
out of mining. except once, when / cleared
about 81, 800 in few days There was a mine
owned by some parties for whom was the at
torney. They had spent all their money in
putting down the shaft and had struck nothing
At last the chief owner came to me and begged
me to lend him some money on the stock.
