Get About Forty Dollars in Exchange for

August two young men arrived in
Great Falls on the train from the south
and secured room at the Milwaukee
house, registering as Martin Oliver and
VIM, Oliver from Virginia City, New.
They paid for every meal as soon as eaten
and every morning paid for their lodg-
ing. Two days after their arrival they
asked thesnight clerk to cash a check for
$50 in favor of Martin Oliver, drawn on
the Frst National bank of Great Falls
and signed "G. s. Oliver" The clerk de-
cined to cash the check. but accepted it
for collection and the men secured about
dollars worth of drinks on the paper
The same evening they presented a
check for $40, dated Copper Camp,
payable to VIM. Oliver, signed az. S.

The check was cashed, the men spen,
about So for beer and then left. The
next day both checks we're rejected, G

Reporters learned the facts, but as tel

HE WILL BE TRIED,
Tho Case of .. G. Ashby in the Lewis and
Clarke Courts.

Inc Nase Oh - ~. 1sHby III the Lewis anu
Clarke Courts.
Special to The Tribune
HELENA, Aug. 15.-Arguments were
heard by Judge Knowles in the United
States court this morning on the de
murrer to the indictment in the case of
S. G. Ashby. The arguments were
made by Fl. G. Mclntire, who appeared
for the defendant, and John B. Clay
berg, who argued for the state. The
demurrer was to the seven counts in the
indictment, and was to the effect that
the indictment did not state facts suifi-
cient to constitute public offense.
After listening to the arguments pro and
con the judge handed down his decision
without leaving his chair. The first
count was sustained and the other six
ovcrruled. The point raised in count
one was that defendant was accused by
the Indictment of embeZzling a prOmis-
sorry note and that the amount of the
note was not given. The demurrer be-
ing sustained virtually releases Mr. Ash
by from the charge of embezzlement un-
less new indictment is found. The
other six counts accused defendant of
misapplying funds and the demurrer to
them was overruled. The result will be
that on the trial the defendant will only
have to plead to the charges of misap-
plying funds. The next step in the case
will be the pleading Of the defendant to
the remaining six counts of the indict-
ment and the stating of the grounds of
the defense. If when arraigned before
the court the plea of not guilty is made,
the case will be tried according to the
due course of law. The ruling of the
judge on the first count Of the indict
ment allows the state to indict again on
the same grounds, but that is hardly
likely, owing to the sustaining of the
other counts which, if proven are liable
to an imprisonment.

stead of Warrants.
Mathew Dunn yesterday instituted
suit in the district court against the city
of Great Falls, to recover $4,000, with in
terest at 10 per cent per annum from
January 1G, 1894, and costs of suit.
He alleges that in January and Feb
ruary, 1898, the city sold bonds desig-
mated as 'park purchase" bonds aud
received therefor $40 ,l03 Sc; that after
wards plaintiff and ID. d. Lambie sold to
the city, for consideration of $4,000,
the Sun River park; that Lambie has
assigned his interest IN the warrants re-
ceived to plaintiff; that the warrants is
sued we're numbered 2,oSO, 2,9el, 1882
1888 and 29S4; that plaintiff has sold
Nos $3.50, 1881 and 1882; that No 1888
is for 50, 800 and No. 2,9S4 is for $1,000;
that plaintiff presented latter two war
rants to City Treasurer Phelps January
l6. 1894. and Mr.. Phelps endorsed them
mot paid for want of funds; that these
warrants were the first drawn against the
"park purchase" fund and were the first
presented for payment; that later City
Treasurer Elliott deposited 4.2O6 y in
each the First National, Merchants Ma
tional and Security banks, the total in
cluding the park purchase fund; that,
of this total, all in the Security bank
and all except 2l,243 "a in the FIRST Ma
t;onal bank was consumed IN the pay
ment of warrants drawn on other funds,
and the amount in the Merchants Ma
tional bank was rendered unavailable by
the suspension of the latter bank; that
$4,000 bas been paid by the Merchants
National bank, but was applied on war
rant No. $3.50; that warrant on the
"park purchase" fund in favor of r. r
Collins was issued after plaintiffs
warrants were Issued, was numbered
1885, and was presented after plain.
titf's warrants had been presented, and
that the money in the First Nationa
bank was applied in payment of Collins
warrant: that when plaintiff presented
his warrants for payment there was
$4,000 in the Security bank and 81,
243.64 in the First National, available
for the payment of plaintiff S warrants
and that on February 26, 1893, the leg
islature legalized the purchase of the
parks by the city Of Great Falls.
Therefore, plaintiff demands iudg

holds, with interest at 10 per cent pc

REVIEW Of THE CITY FINANCES
Some Figures Which Show just
Where We Are At-NOt a Very
Rosy View.
Tire City Debt Will Soon Be Over
the Statutory Limit Of Three
Per Cent.

In Wednesdays TRIBUNE an analysis
of the new city tax levy was made and
the figures showed that the revenue
which would be produced under that
levy would fall short of meeting the ex-
penses of the city government, estimated
on the basis of what they were during
the last fiscal year, by 81, ,G13.91. Add
ing to this the extraordinary expense in
volved in paying for the paving of street
intersections ON Central avenue,
amounting to 9l2 900, there would be a
deficit of revenue during the next fiscal
year of 3,Gl3. If, however, the esti-
mate of future expenses instead Of being
based on the cost of the last fiscal year,
ending April 30, 1893, should be based
on the last quarter ending July 81, 1893,
as reported by the city clerk, this sum
would be increased 81. .S}}3,17. us the last
quarter shows an increase Of fourth
of tina, sum over the average of the
fiscal year preceding that quarter.
Taking, however, the smaller sum as
being very conservative figure, = G have
S23Gl397 as the amount OF the deficit
which is likely to be caused by lack Of
revenue after the taxes come in. Let us
see how the lst Of January 1896, when
the new levy will become available, will
find the various funds of the city.
The general fund is now oyerdrawn
a26 OPS and By January l. on the basis Of
the crafts on this fund being the same
average amount per tuJnth as during
the last fiscal Year ending April 30, lo95,
it will be oyerdrawD 50,GiO more, making
total oyerdratt when the levy is re-
ceiyed Of 933, ,GGS,
