the 10Th day of December. 1895. adver-

amounting to the sum of $6I0.9S, said
sale being advertised to take place on
the ED day of January, 1896, and at the

been and at the time of the commence

and would so sell said property unless
restrained from so doing by this
court.
And the court makes the following

it was used for purely public charit-

repaired and the bridges rebuilt, so that
there is no further trouble in that di-
rection. The cold weather assisted very
materially In getting the roads in shape
as some of the low, swampy places
were quickly frozen.
The crossing at Wardner is ques-
tion that must be solved soon. The
closing of the river has shut out the
ferry, yet the ice is not safe for heavy
teams and loads. The crossing is an
important one to the c. p. r., as all of
the travel along the line of construc-
ton must necessarily cross the koote-
mai river at this point. IT Is quite prob
able that a temporary bridge will be
constructed for use this winter
The buildings for construction head
quarters are already under way and as
soon as they are completed headquar
ters will be moved to this point. Being
so centrally located the change will
greatly facilitate business and save
both time and money.

Great Falls, Dec. 25.-J. r. Waite,
sheriff of Fergus county, has made the
following reply TO the charges contain
ed in State Examiner Morony's second
report on Fergus county finances:
Concerning items ], ,, 3, and 8, it
is true that in these cases Sheriff Waite
charged rs cents per day for the board
of each prisoner in his keeping. while
he had previously charged but 60 cents.
Such additional charge was made after
consultation with the commissioners
and upon the authority of Attorney
General Haskell and upon the further
authority of a prominent state official
who was conversant with these matters,
under authority of section 1905 of the
political code and the annotations
thereto, and also with the knowledge
that other sheriffs in the state were
charging rs cents by the same author
ity.
Concerning item Cit is true that
herein Mr.. Waite charged S4S.45 excess
sive, but upon learning of the excess
charged. such amount was, in June, re-
funded to the county.
Concerning items Z, and 9-As before
noted Sheriff Waite, during his first
term in Office, acted under the proyi-
sions of the law of 1889, which was in
force when he was elected, and such
law allowing a sheriff 20 cents per mile
for each prisoner transported to the
penitentiary, insane asylum or reform
school, and Is cents per mile for the
| accompanying officer going and COM
ing, his charge of 20 cents was in ac-
cordance with law and the opinion of
the attorney general now on file in
Clerk Perkins office.
Concerning item 10-In this case Mr..
Morony claims Sheriff Waite had no
authority for taking an extra officer in
transporting John Curtis to the asylum.
John Curtis was violently insane, and
Sheriff Waite took his deputy. w. A.
Waite, with him upon the advice of the
judge of the district court and the
county commissioners. In this connec-
ton it might also be added that in sew
eral instances of transportation of in
sane persons under Sheriff Deaton. two
officers accompanied the patient in each
case.

of n New Electric Light Company.
Great Falls, Dec. 19.-There has been
numerous complaints at Lewiston on
the subject of electric lights, and now
there is an agitation for the formation
of a new company. 1t is charged by the
agitators, and the charge seems to be
admitted by the company, that at the
present time there is not enough power
to run all of the lights which are on the
circuit, but the company has arranged
to remedy that defect and have ma
chinery on the road now. Meetings
have been called for the organization
of the new company, but as yet nothing
has been done, many of the citizens
feeling that a new company would be a
failure. as the old one is too firmly es-
tablished and has too many advantages
to be easily frozen out.
