The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-01-07
IT'S 40 COLUMNS LONG
But 90 of the 40 Columns Are the
Markley & Armstrong List.
THAT'S WHAT STRETCHES
Otherwise Silver Bow Countys Delin-
quent Tax Payers Would Be Fewer
This Year Than Usual Some of
the Names on the List.

Silver Bow county's delinquent tax
list was published yesterday and is
probably the longest ever printed. 1t
covers 40 columns of the county's off,
cial newspaper and contains nearly 5000
descriptions Of property. The great
length of the list is due to the notorious
delinquent list made by Markley IL
Armstrong, as that alone fills 26 col
umns. But for that. Silver Bow coun-
tvs delinquents would make a very
small showing. The Marl<ley g. Arm
strong list covers the years from 1859
to 1885, inclusive. and very few mining
companies or individual taxpayers ea-
cape it. In majority Of the cases the
persons listed as delinquent claim 10
have paid and probably have, but have
no means of proving IL and VIII likely
pay again, as the amount involved are
so small that no one can afford 10
make a legal fight on the tax.
