BIG SANDY LANES LIFE

Great Falls, Nov 29.-Major andcMrs.
Martin Maginnis came in from Helena
yesterday and are the guests OF Mr..
and Mrs. l. G. Phelps. The major has
ever been an earnest friend Of Great
Falls.
Rabbi Nathan Michnick, Of Temple
Emanuel of Helena, said to be an elo-
quent pulpit orator. viii occupy the
pulpit of Rev. ]. d. Reid of the First
Liberal church in this city Sunday
Dec. 10, and on the same date MT.
Reid will officiate for DIR. Croker of the
Unitarian church at Helena. 1t Is a
strange combination, but the interested
parties are three good men.
On Monday county taxes will become
delinquent and as a result the treas
urers office is daily thronged with anx-
ious taxpayers, a feature that does not
worry the poor man. The Great Nor
thern has paid in county taxes 81, 1884,
81, and the TOWNSHIP company will
increase this fully$60.O00. The defin-
quients this year will be few and Coun-
ty Treasurer Dickerman is really roll
ing in wealth.
1t is reported that the Ammon-Ste-
vers mines at Gilt Edge have closed
down again and that work will not be
resumed until spring. These mines are
believed to be good properties but
shortage of funds prevents further
development at present. In the mean
time Ammon is back in New York tell
ing his friends of the marvellous ex-
periences he had in the rough mining
regions of Montana"
The people of Great Falls are pa
tiently waiting for that promised
change of time in the passenger train
service East and West. Amy change
would be beneficial for the reason that
'ha "a N a ina
schedule now in use.
The Havre Herald says that big
Sandy" Lane is in that city from an
eastern trip, stopping over to visit
friends. Sandy came to Montana in
1866 when boy and has resided in the
territory and state ever since. this be-
ing his first visit to his old home for
2S years. For years Sandy Lane was
Colonel Broadwater's right hand man,
making trips over Northern Montana
when war parties of Indians covered
the plains and valleys. The Cypress
massacre and other exciting incidents
OF border life were events in which he
figured with renown to himself as an
Indian fighter second to none.
Detective Germ last night arrested
Walter Methaney of this city at the
request of City Marshal Mccain of
Helena. who arrived this morning and
interviewed Methaney regarding the
WhcAC0OOoto VI SCIpdln BOOQS SlOleH
some weeks ago from the New York
Dry Goods house of Helena. 1t will
be remembered that the store was
robbed by a man named Drusdone,
who is now serving a term in the peni-.
Tertiary for the crime. At the time of
the arrest of Drusdone only a portion
Of the stolen goods were recovered.
Methaney is a warm friend of Drus-
done and because of this fact suspic-
ion was directed towards him. Officers
are reticent as to the result of to-day's
interview but the Standard reporter
learned enough to say that some of the
missing goods have been located at
certain fence" and there is strong
probability that at least two Helena
men are indirectly connected with the
robbery.
Sheriff Dwyer last night entertained
a party Of friends with a modest ban
uuet in the sheriff's Office at the court
house. The spread was all that could
be desired and was washed down by
lemonade. seltzer and the like. Among
those present were Attorney Leslie.
Nick O'Bren. City Detective Germ,
Sheriff Dwyer. Deputy Sheriff Proctor.
Under Sheriff Moran, Judge Tallant,
Auditor Beachly. County Attorney
Freeman and others. The sheriff is a
great. big-hearted official and he also
took occasion yesterday to furnish the
unfortunate guests of the county fail
with a grand Thanksgiving dinner.
