CANAL,

The Nicaragua canal bill has passed
the United States senate. 1t is a stu
pendous enterprise and we believe that
il should receive the support of the
United States government and We are
glad that it has the sanction of the sen
ate. Before its final passage the bill was
hedged about with two pregnant amend
ments that will tend, if observed, to re-
lieve the enterprise of much odium that
has attached to others that have received
government aid. One was d proviso that
not a dollar of stock shall be issued that
is not represented by Il dollar paid in.
This will prevent watering the stock, not
the canal; the other is that no contracted for
work shall be let to individuals or corpo-
rations representing in whole or in part
stockholders in the company. These
are wise provisions and will tend to give
confidence to proposed investors who
are willing to subscribe to the enter
prise if backed by the moral and fnan-
cial support of the United States gov
eminent.

The Outlook For building Next Spring Is
\ TRIBUNE reporter in conversation
with a well known contractor asked yes
terday what he thought of the outlook
for building next spring and was in
formed that there was q better prospect
ahead of Great Falls in this line than
there had been at any time since he
could remember. He stated that he
knew # seven different owners of Cen
ira avenue real estate who were figuring
or building brick blocks on that street
during the coming spring and summer
He did not care to mention their names,
but several Of them were fully deter.
mined to carry out their plans, while the
others would build, provided they could
get the money at a low enough rate OF
interest. To do this it was necessary to
get the money in the east and they had
not yet fully made their arrangements
There are three brick blocks projected
for Third street south and one for First
avenue north and all of these will prob.
ably go up in the coming season.
Besides these business blocks q large
number of dwelling houses will certainly
be erected during the coming season, az
there is already q great scarcity of houses
of moderate cost to be rented. The sea.
son Of 1895 promises to be q good one fol
contractors and building laborers az vel
a. other people.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
ISIS Emily Bancker Will Appear in
Great Falls This Week.

Miss Emily Bancker Will Appear in
Great Falls This Week.
A notable event of the coming week
will be the production of Mrs. Musgrave's
latest musical comedy success, "Dur
Flats 1t is running to crowded
houses at Strand theatre, London, where
it has a previous record of $50 consecu-
tive nights. The piece had it's first pro-
duction in America at the Lyceum
theatre, New York. where it made a run
of 100 nights. This will be the first APP
p%earance of sour Flats in Great Falls.
Miss Emily Bancker and her superb
company appear on next Saturday even
ing as the opera house.
The story in brief is as follows:
A very successful dramatic author
falls III love with the daughter
of ii rich nan They are married
without the fathers knowledge or con-
sent, and of course are thrown upon
their own esources. They begin life in
a fiat house and furnished on the install
ment plan. All goes happily until the
slender Income is exhausted, then their
troubles begin. The fiat is overrun with
creditors ard the butcher and baker
refuse further supplies, the cook gives
and the dressmaker threatens
At this point the father-in-law
appears at the flat with the intention of
relenting, but unfortunately is mistaken
for a money lender by the young hus-
band, who has never seen him before.
The cast is headed by Emily Bancker,
who was star of "Gloriaua" last year and
one of the most beautiful women on the
stage. Miss Bancker's dresses the com
ing season will foreshadow the very lat
est Partisan novelties in gowns. Her
support is made up Of the leading ex-
ponents Of polished light comedy on the
American stage, among them are P. H.
Geo. w. Parsons, Neil Scully, W.
H. Wallis. J. G. Cheney, Marion Van
Lee Jarvis, Vesta Verno and
others. Some bright and catchy musical
numbers will be introduced. Handsome
scenery. The management desire to an
that sour Flat" will be one of
important theatrical events Of the
season.

GOT WHAT HE WANTED,
MIR. =. j.. O'HOolihan Was Looking For
Trouble and Found 1t,

Mr.. p. j.. O'Hoo!ihan Was Looking For
1rouble and Found 1t.
P. j. O'Hoolihan, as his name indi-
Gates, is descended from a warlike race
and loves a scrap. especially when the
spirit CT his ancestors is warmed in his
veins by liberal potations. Some time
ago he had a fight with Officer Grillen-
berger, and Tony landed him with some
difficulty IN the city bastile. Every time
he gets a proper jag aboard the remem-
brance of the insult he received on that
occasion comes over him and he is seized
with a desire to wipe it out in gore.
Wednesday night was n of these occa-
and he went IN search of Tony, but
did not find him. However, he did en-
counter Sergeant Shea, who advised him
to keep quiet and 60 to bed. MIR. O'Hool-
Than replied to this advice with a blow
from the shoulder, and the next instant
there was a scrap in the Milwaukee
beer hall, where the encounter occurred.
which delighted a portion of the
audience at least. O'Hoolihan is a pow
erful man and it is doubtful how the
matter might have terminated when
big Joe" came to the rescue of his
brother officer, and laid Mr.. O'Hoolihan
out cold with ont blow. At this moment
Thos. McHale interfered and Officer
Martin arrested him also. The two
prisoners were then marched by the
victorious police to the city Jail. They
were each fined SO and costs on a charge
of being drunk and disorderly and COM
mitteed in def ault of the amount.

Pete Lilly, an Employe at the Shelter.
Injured-A Narrow Escape.
Pete Lilly, formerly a foreman in the
concentration building at the B. g. M.
smelter, met with a painful accident and
one that came very near having a worse
termination Wednesday last. He was at
work cleaning one of the vanners, as the
machines at he lower foo rof the concen-
traitor are called, and had a piece of
waste tucked in his o~veralls at the waist.
In leaning over the shaft, in some way
this became wound around the shaft,
which finally caught the o~veralls and
lifted him off his feet as it wound his
clothing up tight. AS he was lifted in
the air he caught the betting which runs
the machine and this threw it off the
pulley wheel and thereby stopped the
motion of the machine saving himself
from worse injuries than he received. AS
it was he received abdominal injuries of
a painful but not serious character and
was taken to Columbus hospital, where
he was made as comfortable as circum-
stances would permit and is reported to
be doing very we'll.

MUST Be REPAIRED BY THE CITY
The Attorney General Makes a De-
'isiOn Which vii, Interest
City Taxpayers.
The West Side Bridge Ii a Part Of
the City Roads and Must Be-
Repaired by The City.

There has been a difference of opinion
between the city and county authorities
which has provoked a good deal of dis
cussion lately as to whose business it is
to keep the West side wagon bridge in
repair. The question has a practical
bearing at this time from the fact that it
will be necessary to replank the bridge
and make other repairs which will cost
about $1,000 in the spring. The city
council toek the ground that as the
bridge WAS purchased by the county it
was their property and therefore was
their duty to make all necessary repairs.
AS a matter of fact up to this time the
county has made such repairs as was
necessary. The county auditor, backed by
an opinion from the county attorney took
IA stand recently against paying out any
more money for this purpose, on the
ground hat being in the city limits the
bridge was a part of the city roads and,
therefore, belonged to the city to keep in
proper repair. The city authorities de-
clined to admit this proposition and the
question was submitted to the attorney
general, Henry j. Haskell, for his opin-
ion. His reply was forwarded to County
Attorney Freeman yesterday and entirely
sustains the county authorities in their
position. He says: "a bridge is a high
way or passage way across a river, creek,
slough or arm of the sea, and whatever
municipal corporation is required to re-
pair the roadbed of the highway or the
approaches to a bridge is required like
wise to repair a bridge which is a part of
such highway and included within the
boundaries of such municipal corpora
tion."
He then goes on to state that if it could
be assumed that the county controlled a
bridge connecting at each end with a
city street the county would be in a
position to close the bridge if it should
so elect and shut off the travel on Ger
tain city streets. This theory would be
likely in some cases to produce a clash
of authority were it tenab!e.
He concludes, "However, the law does
not admit of any such construction, and
whenever by operation of law a public
highway, or a part thereof, which in
cludes within its boundaries a bridge,
passes under the control of a municipal
corporation, such corporation controls
tho bridge therein as it does the road
bed erected upon the highway, ard is
liable for all repairs made on such
bridge"
This decision Of the attorney general
will place On the street fund of the city
additional burden which was not
foreseen or provided for and which it can
i'll afford to stand.

A CRAY
AT Belt shoots at Parties Whom He
Falsely Charges with Stealing.

AT Belt shoots at Parties Whom He
Falsely Charges with Stealing.
The following account of a shooting
scrape at Belt is taken from the Belt
Valley Times:
Deputy Sheriff Mcleod arrested Con-
stable Tom Richardson Tuesday night
for attempting to shoot Mr.. and Mrs
William Lee. who live in the cabin next
to Hames' jewelry store. The facts as
told to a Times reporter by Mr.. Lee are
that Richardson, who had been drinking
considerably, visited the house and
while there they drank Il growler of beer,
for which Mr.. Lee contributed the
money. 1t being near bedtime they
told Richardson he had better go home
as they wished to retire. This he re.
fused to do. but instead accused them of
stealing So from him. They denied the
accusation. whereupon the constable
drew his revolver and threatened to
shoot them if the money was not forth
coming. Mr.. Lee took hold of Richard
son aud put him out and Mrs. Lee closed
and fastened the door, which is fastened
by a piece of rope attached to the handle
and tied to a nail on the door frame.
Mr.. Lee had just stepped back from the
door and Mrs. Lee was tying the rope
when they heard a report and a ball
came whizzing past the lady's hand. Mr..
Lee opened the door, seized Richardson,
who stood outside with a revolver in his
hand, threw him to the ground and dis
armed him.
Richardson then departed and had a
warrant sworn out for the arrest of Mr..
and Mrs. Lee, charging them with steal
ing 81 81. Some time later Deputy |
Sheriff Mcleod visited the house accom-
panied by Richardson, and it being sug-
he search the latter. he did so
and found the purse and missing money
in Richardson's inside vest pocket.
Richardson was thereupon locked up.
He was taken before Judge Coppernell
yesterday morning and bound over to
the district court in the sum of $500.
"Constable Richardson told a repre-
sentative of the Times that he was asked
into the house to take a glass of beer,
which offer he accepted and that is the
last he remembers until he found him
self lying in the road outside the house
and his revolver and money gone"

COAL THIEVES CAUGHT.

Five Parties Caught stealth. Coal from
the Cars in Ons Night.
For { ,ohg timo past the coal dealers
Of this city have been annoyed by coal
thieves Who make d raid on the coal cars
which stand on the track aud carry away
considerable quantities during the night
in sacks. The sum total of these depre-
dations amounts to a considerable pecu-
MARY loss in tne course OF the year. The
thieves ere Usually poor people who live
il snacks near the yards who think it no
great SD to steal from a rich corporation,
aud helping themselves to d sack IT coal
out OF 4 car is lot a very serious breach
OF their code Of morals. One Of the chief
sufferers from his class of thieves has
been tne firm of God il kally. whose
yards are quite handy for the squatters
to reach. The losses they have suffered
have been the more aggravating from
the fact that Mr., Kelly has been
quite generous and has frequently given
coal to poor fanllirs near by when he
was satisfied that they were needy and
honest. He recently complained to the
city marshal Of the repeated depreda
lions on his property and Wednesday
night Sergeant Shea laid in wait to see
If he could catch some Of the thieves. He
concealed himself near some coal cars
and had not long to wait. The first visi
tors were three women, all carrying
sacks. One climbed up on the cars and
threw the coal down while the others
filed the sacks. When the sergeant an.
peared on the scene and arrested them
they were terribly frightened and one Of
the women tainted away. They pleaded
60 hard to be let off that the officer al
lowed them to 60 after learning theil
names. Shortly after this two mer
named Charles Brandt and Charles
Smith were caught by tho Office
