Calula Brady and his daughter Miss
Lulu Brady who reside on the West side
were arrested yesterday on a charge of
disturbing the peace. The warrant was
sworn out by John Paul, the Turkish
peddler. From the account given the
officers it would appear that it is a
neighborhood quarrel, both parties being
about equally to blame. Judge Race
will endeavor to get at the facts in the
case today at 10 o'clock a. m.
Among those at the police court yes
terday was a gray-headed man who was
arrested for being drunk and asleep on
the sidewalk. He seemed to feel deeply
the disgrace of his position as he took
his seat in the dock and told the judge
that it was the first time he had ever
ceen arrested in his life. A few years
ago he was a prominent business man in
Canada, worth 100000 he told the court.

his wife, who got a divorce from him.

the cause of all his troubles. Judge
Hawkins discharged him.

complete play housed between st. Paul

The county treasurer finished posting
up his tax sales yesterday. He finds
that about $1,000 was realized from
sales to private parties and the county
bid in about $1,000 of taxes. The taxes
collected without resort to sale of the
property amounts to between 90 and "a
per cent. of the whole amount of the
taxes. AS the property sold included
taxes to the amount of nearly $1,000
against the Northern. Pacific railway it
will be seen that the taxpayers of Cas-
cade county have paid up their taxes
pretty we'll.
Under the caption "Newso of the North
west ore of the Minneapolis papers
contains the statement that "the schools
of Great Falls. which had been closed on
account of the prevalence of scarlet
fever. had been reopened." This is Ger
tainly an illustration Of the adage ';go
from home to learn the news" AS a
matter of fact the schools of Great Falls
have never been closed on account of an
epidemic. They have not been closed
for over a year, when they were closed
for two days on account OF a defective
heating apparatus. The Minneapolis
paper was either careless or else the re-
port WAS maliciously false. There has
not been a case of scarlet fever in Great
Falls this winter.
