Great Falls Tribune: About noon
yesterday as Deputy Sheriff Nichols
OF Fergus county and Frank Clark
were driving toward the city, and
when a short distance west of Box
Elder, they discovered a man lying a
short distance from the road. They
stopped and went to the man, who
appeared to be dead at first sight, but
on closer examination he was found
to be breathing. He was placed in the
wagon and brought to the county jail,
where they arrived about 1 O'Clock.
The unfortunate man was placed on
a cot in the office OF the Jail and DIR.
Sweat was Immediately summoned
who, upon examination, found that
his patients hands, ears and feet
were badly frozen. He was given a
hot bath, hypodermic injections OF
brandy, ETC., which appeared to revive
him to some extent, but about 8
o'clock he breathed his last. DIR.
Sweat worked hard for four hours to
bring him to consciousness, but his
labors proved OF no avail. On exam
lining the pockets to find some clew to
his identity "a copper cent, knife, re-
ceipt for n registered letter from Post
master Gillespie of Sand Coulee, dated
Nov. 23, 1898, to n. Barna Tor a let
ter sent to Emma Barna, Johnstown,
Pa; also "a Sand Coulee Coal company
coupon book, made out to Andrew
Bardner, dated Jan. 2, were found.
The unfortunate man had evidently
been under the influence of liquor, as a
broken bottle was found in his hip
pocket and the odor of whisky was
noticeable. He was evidently a coal
miner and had been working at Sand
Coulee and was going to the Belt coal
mines when he IA overcome with the
cold and laid down where he was
found. A telegram was sent to Sand
Coulee to find out something about
him, but no answer had been received
up to 8 o'clock last night.
The facts in regard to the charge
that the county commissioners lille
gally allowed a bill to Drs. Lindsey
and Monahan are simply these: On
the 18th of December Eugene Hart of
Trout creek, while hauling hay near
Cottonwood, had his outfit upset, and
falling to the ground with great force
had his arm fractured and his shout
der d~islocated. Being without means
he was at once brought to Lewistown
to be cared for at the expense of the
county. When taken to the Day
House Hart was suffering greatly, and
Drs. Lindsey and Monahan were called
in haste to attend him, and immedi-
ately set the homes and performed the
necessary services, o knowing that
Hart was there as a county charge.
As soon as Hart recovered from the
effects OF the narcotic sufficiently he
requested to be taken to the county
hospital, and his request was COM
piled with. The charge made by the
doctors was reasonable and thecoupty
could be held liable for the bill. The
facts in regard to the minutes of the
commissioners not showing that the
warrant was ordered drawn, are simply
that the clerk was absent from the
room at the time they acted upon it,
and when informed of it afterward
failed to get it on the minutes. The
minutes oil the December meetinghave
not yet been approved and cannot be
until the regular March meeting when
any alterations or corrections will be
made before they are approved. None
are SO ignorant as those who are will
fully ignorant. The editor of the
Geyser knew these facts before he
wrote lying charges. 1t is not difficult
to discover his motive. The commits
sioners had rejected his bid for the
county printing at their last meeting
and then again he must get even with
Mr.. Wareham, the Democratic com
missioner, Tor declining to be dictated
to by anyone of the moral charactel
OF this hybrid.
