GREAT FALLS PATRIOTISM.

II Was Enthusiastic In Remembering the
Victims Of the Maine.
Great Falls. May 4.-Patriotism In
Great Falls found a vent yesterday
evening in the concert for the benefit OF
the families. the widows N the or
phans caused by the explosion of the
Maine at the hands Of the ~treacherous
Spaniard. The opera house was packed
from gallery to pit. up the aisles and to
the doors. Most of the music was of q
patriotic nature, n this received Wig
orous applause. Not the least occa-
sion for an outbreak of feeling occurred
when the Standard bulletin
ing the capture of a Cuban town was
read by John T. Morrow. Everything
was good, and everything was enthusi-
astically. received by the audience, so
that any attempt to select HI the
audience liked best would be futile.
They cheered the selections, vocal and
instrumental, the t~ableaux, the recita-
tions Of Mrs. Marino. and when the
pictures of Fitzhugh Lee and Commo-
fore Dewey were thrown on the canvas
they went wild. So, too, with the
reading of the bulletin. Anything that
was American was all right. and the
programme was all right from otner
standpoints, too. Professor Marine
has been hard at work for the past
month drilling the band and the Great
Falls Musical club for this special oc-
casion, and the participants did not put
his work to shame. OF course. he has
had the band under his charge for the
past two years, but this was an extraor-
binary occasion, n the members evil
IDENTIFY felt it to be such. They have
been improving ever since Marine took
charge, but tonight they were at the
climax.
An instance of the patriotic sentiment
was shown when after giving the selec-
ton put down for her on the pro-
Nine: Beraud CAV as an en-
core, He Was a Soldier on the Maine.
1t was a long time before the plaudits
of the audience subsidized enough to al
low the entertainment to proceed. Miss
Marine was given a hearty encore, n
gave a recitation on the American eagle.
When Commodore Dewey's face APP
peared on the ~stereopticon sheet the
audience rose as one man, and three
cheers were given for the man who in
the last week has risen to the crest of
popular favor. George Abram Smith
was another of the soloists who was
called back, and the memory of his
magnificent basso voice will remain in
Great Falls for time to come. At the
conclusion of the programme, when the
members of Company A were lined up
on the stage and the admirable tableau
of Cuba had been given. the audience
Joined heartily in singing The Star
Spangled Banner" and went home, glad
of the opportunity to have expressed its
sentiments. and each man glad to md
that there were so many others in the
community who felt just as he did.

4 Switzer filed two suits on account.
$51.57. with interest from Nov. /, 1894,
a claim for goods and merchandise fur
nished. The second is against s. d.
Anderson for s34o.lO. with interest from
Sept. /, 1884,, and is for merchandise
also.
Barbara Coon. as administrator of the
estate Of John. Coon. deceased. institute
ed a suit this afternoon against !. o.
Proctor. asking that he be perpetually
restrained from using the water of GER
tain springs located near Sand Coulee.
The complaint. after reciting the facts
in conjunction with the plaintiffs APP
pointmenta as Administrative states that
John Zoo in 1882 settled upon certain
lands for homestead purposes, and in
the following year took all the waters
from springs tuate on adjacent gov
eminent land not then settled upon and
has since nae the use of the water for
i~rrigating purposes up to the time when
Proctor deprived him and his heirs
thereof. This land Is of a purely agri-
cultural nature n Is nearly valueless
without the water and irrigation.
There were also three suits filed
which were brought On a change of
venue from the district court in Fergus
county. The first is that of John j.
Mcdonnell VS.. T. f. Collins and j. T.
Armington. The original complaint.
which was filed on March IS, 1896. al
leges thai the plaintiff sold to the de-
PENDANTS on Feb. /, 1894, 14,075 pounds
Of beef at a contract price amounting
to $703.75 and delivered the same at
the instance and request of the defend
ants to the Gilt Edge Mining company.
Nc part of this sum has since been
paid. On April 16, 1896. defendants
asked for a change of venue on the
ground that neither n Of them

an order issued on Aug. rs. denied the
application. and the case went to the
supreme court. On April II. of last
year. the ruling of the lower court was
reversed and the case sent back.
The suit of Ernest Kies has followed
about the same trail and Is directed
against the same defendants. The suit
includes two claims, one for himself
for merchandise sold by one G. p. Bur
nett, which latter claim has been as
signed to the p~laintif. Both claims
amount "a 81, 500. 80, but part of this
sum has been paid and the complaint
asks judgment for 1853. 02. with interest.
The third suit is brought by T. r.. Mat
lock against j. T. Arlington alone and
IL for $3.50. 95 worth of board furnished,
90 it alleges. to the employees Of the Gilt
Edge Mining company at the request
OF the defendant.
