WHO IS
THE LIAR?
The Records Make it ADDear
That His Name is ThOs.
f. Brady.
And He WHO RUNS MAY READ.
Facts From the City Records
Bear Out the HERALD in
All Its Statements.

II tnere were words IN any langu.
age to express the unmitigated gall
and invulnerable rind of that so.
called attorney of Great Falls, Thos
e. Brady, who is only very mean
pettifogger and bombastic blower,
we should take delight in printing
them. He replies to the very fair
article in last weeks HERALD in a
manner that shows the utter want OF
manhood he possesses. We stated
that the records bore us out in our
statements. AS to the office the
Brady fellow may hold with the
Neihart water company to day it is
nothing here or there. The fact re-
mains that while the dubious and
shameful transactions to which we
allude were going on, he was presi-
dent, general manager, legal illumln-
ator, and lord high muck-a muck of
the whole institution. We STYLED
him a turbulent fellow and chronic
trouble seeker; His denial doesn't
alter the fact. His third and fourth
charges which appear below we will
answer together. We merely 90 to
the city records, and we ask bull
dosed and mistreated public to COM
pare his statements with the records.
We do not lose temper. But we
never run away from our own state
ments. We do not accuse Mr.. Brady
of lying. But let the public Judge
if he is not as neat a hand at manning
and distorting the truth as ever set
pen to paper. 1t is comical. Here
are his words:
"3d. When he says that | ever ap-
peared before the city council of Nei-
hart to ask any extension of the limit of
our franchise:
4th. When he says that our water
plant was not put in according to our
contract. We have done more than our
contract obligated us to do, in that we
graded many parts of Main street, and
the main pipe has at all times been free
of the frost line
Here are the facts:
Ordinance No. IS, granting fran
chise to the Neihart Water company
was passed in 1892. It contained the
following provisions to which we
must refer:
l. 1t called for the completion of
the water works before Oct. 81,
1892.
2 1t required the mains to lie in
place not nearer than three feet to
the surface on O'Brien creek and not
nearer than four feet to the surface
of the ground elsewhere, which
means of course within the town and
on Main street, until such time as
side pipe lines shall have been laid.
Referring to this first stated provis-
ion, we say that according to the
records the town council were COM
PEELED three consecutive times to
grant the company an extension of
time. The first of these was given
till Jan. /, 1893, by Ordinance No.
70, which was prepared by Thos.
E. Brady and furnished by him to
the town council.
In each of the three instances
where this company implored an ex-
tension of time, Thos. E. Brady
was represented by VIM. Brady,
secretary of the company, who re-
peatedly stated that upon important
matters he must refer to the president
of the company.
Mar. s, 1893, when the final limit
expired the council met and heard a
request from the house of Brady. 1t
was to accept the water works as they
stood, the Bradys themselves allow
ing that the same were not completed
according to franchise. Then was
passed Ordinance No. 81 which con-
tains untruths and is not in conform
ity to the facts in the case, and which
the HERALD says never should have
been passed. 1t was a virtual ac-
ceptance of the works as completed.
The town council was buldozed into
