and alleged love feast held in Great
Falls Saturday evening is said to have
been rather a dismal affair, chiefly re-
markable for the conspicuous absence
of many old wheel horses who were
down on the programme for speeches.
The excellent music furnished by the
Great Northern band and the selections
rendered by the male quartet provoked
n wave of enthusiasm for a time, but
the eloquence promised is alleged to
have been of the SKINNED milk variety
that fails of nourishment, even when
administered in the most generous and
extravagant doses.
The really clever work performed by
Chief of Police Guerin of Great Falls
in rounding up and gathering in a
counterfeiter and his working outfit on
Saturday last is further evidence of the
capability of the chief and his force of
police officers The money" manufac-
tured by the counterfeiters was nicely
executed and only lacked whiteness Of
color and the ring of silver to make ii
almost perfect. Chief Guerin has per-
haps the best record of any detective
in Montana and IL he ever leaves the
force a protest will go up from all
classes OF citizens, without regard to
political Affiliations, race, color, past,
present or future conditions of munich
pal affairs. John is a good man in a
good place.

girl, formerly in the employ of the
McVee family. He will fight the charge
on the claim of 1t being a blackmailing
proposition.

something of a sensation has been
created at Belt by the desertion of a
fair bride by her husband of a month
or the case the Times says: George
Waite, a driver in the mines. and who
was married on Feb II to Miss Cory. a
highly estimable young lady of Sand
Coulee, took his departure for other
climes on March IL, leaving his wife
and friends in ignorance as to his in
tentions or destination. The only
cause assigned by his friends is that

young and there have been several
deaths reported during the last two
weeks. A child of Mr. and Mrs Jurg-
