An Ungrateful Monarchy.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
Americans cannot but feel regret in
learning that some old acquaintance
in the daily bulletins of last year,
Spanish army and navy officers in high
command, are vigorously confined in a
military prison at Madrid. Admiral
Montojo is there. along with Generals
Toral and Jaudenes. The admiral has
had as rough an experience as could
be crowded into a twelvemonth. He
faced Dewey's guns for several hours
proceeding no prudent sailor would
undertake without making his will.
No living admiral has been through
such hail of shell of all sizes as Mon
TOTO. Several hundred of his men were
killed and wounded and his ships were
riddled,. on fire and sinking before he
left them. He did not surrender, which,
in the Spanish code, is a point in his
favor. Yet he is immured in an old
monastery used as a prison. and will be
court martialed. But if the Spanish
greeted as a brave man, who per-
formed his whole duty with the means
at his command.
General Toral played a long and SEN
sational engagement as a surrenderer
He commanded several thousand ex-
hausted and poorly fed men, and there
was a girdle around him that he could
not break. Our own troops had try
ing and unpleasant task in the trenches,
but stubborn resistance or sorties
would have nerved them to complete
1t under any possible conditions But
Toral will probably be punished with
severity, and Jaudenes, who capitulat-
ed at Manila, will have to undergo
some penalty. Cervera also is under
technical arrest. These were the most
valiant of the Spanish leaders in the
war. They lost, and their country.

BOARDMAN REFUSED 1T.
He Didn't Want n Lieutenancy in the
Regular Army.

Great Falls, May 27.-A letter re-
ceived from Clarence I. Boardman.
lieutenant in company A, states that
he has been proffered a leutenancy in
the regular army and has refused it.
1t is stated that Colonel Wallace made
him the offer and gave him 10 minutes
in which to- decide whether he would
cast his lot with the imperialistic
scheme or take his chances of return
ing to civil life and making his way
with the crowd. The colonel advanced
many arguments in favor of the ac-
ceptance of the gold braid and the sure
salary, but Clarence had his mind made
up on such matters, and at the end of
the 10 minutes was as determined not
to accept as he had been at the start.
Boardman is young man who has
been educated in this city and in the
view of his many friends he has good
future.
While the commission in the regular
army would have attracted nine tenths
of the young men of this day, Board
mans friends in this city will feel that
he exercised his good judgment on an
other occasion when he refused the
place The letter does not state to
whom it will now be given.

DISTRICT COURT,
several Suits Filed-Herbert Strain VS..
James A. Mitchell.

Great Falls, May 27.-SeveraI suits
were filed in the district court to-day
and yesterday. and the first was by
Herbert Strain against James A. Mitch
ell. The complaint alleges that the
plaintiff on Dec. 6, 1898, sold to one
John Manwich goods and merchandise
OF the value of $454.52 on representa-
tons made by Manwch that he was
personally solvent and had property
valued at several thousands of dollars
more than the amount of the bill, and
particularly on written guarantee
signed by one Thomas McTague, offer
ing himself as surety for any goods
bought by Manwich to the extent of
$3.50. Manwich said that McTague was
also solvent and had real and personal
property far in excess of the guaran-
tee. The plaintiff alleges that later
he found these representations wholly
false and rescinded the sale and was
preceding to recover his goods when
Mitchell. came into the play by guar
anteeing the whole of the bill in writ
ing. Nothing has since been paid on
the bill, save and excepting the sum
of $52.23; the bill became due on Feb.
20 of this year. and though the plain
tiff has demanded it of defendant, pay
ment has been refused. He asks
judgment in the sum of $3.50, with in
terest at 10 per cent. since the ma
lily VI l1e DlIl. L he second suit Is
like unto it as it hinges on the same
transaction and asks judgment against
McTague on his written guarantee.
The James Cunningham. Son G. Co.,
a corporation organized under the laws
of New York, brings suit against K. B.
Mc1ver individually and as administra-
tor of his deceased brother, Hector
McIver The complaint states that the
plaintiff on Nov 90, 1896, made an
agreement with Hector McIver by
which the latter was to have five car
riages on lease running % months,
the entire rental amounting to some
thing over a thousand dollars, paya-
BILE in monthly installments. At the
close of the lease period McIver had the
privilege of purchasing the carriages
on the payment of the sum of $40, pro-
viding all of the rent had been paid.
The plaintiff recites the facts of the
death of Hector McIver on April Is
and the succession of his brother as
administrator and also owner of the
livery stable business. The complaint
alleges that the rent has not been
paid for several months and that the
lease has expired. 1t estimates the
value of the vehicles at $500 and asks
judgment in this sum, and also for
500 additional as damages for deten-
ton since May %.

4 BELT CREEK BRIDGE
Would Bring More Trade to
Great Falls.
MOVEMENT HAS NEW LIFE
Cascade County Will Be Asked to Bear
the Expense, as 1t viii Derive
Nearly All of the
Benefit.
MOVEMENT HAS NEW LIFE

Great Falls, May 27.-The movement
to bridge Belt creek is being revived
after a silence of five or six years. 1t
was first brought UP by the old cham
Der of commerce of this city, but that
body found the scheme was impract-
cable at that time, and the matter
lapsed for want of attention. The facts
are that quite considera Bile portion
of the trade of the ranchers of the
H1ghWood country belongs to this city
BY the lesser distance, but as a rule
1T all goes to Fort Benton. The ranch
ers would prefer to bring their pro-
duce to this market, which of course
is larger beyond comparison, and to
buy here, where the stores offer an
equally large inducement, but on the
road between their homes and Great
Falls is the Belt creek, which lies like
a formidable giant in the way. At
all times it is difficult of fording, and
at nigh water it is impossible
AT different times the ranchers have
asked the commissioners of Cascade
county to erect bridge across this
stream either at the Peck & Lacey
ranch or at John Eppersons and the
commissioners have carefully consid-
cred the project. However, as the
stream is part of the boundary line
netWeen this and Choteau county the
expense would naturally be divided
between the two, and there the diff
Guilty lies. The Choteau commission
ers believe as the bridge would be
benefit to this county and a distinct
detriment to their own, Cascade should
pay the bill, and doubtless, they are
right That does not remove the diff
Guilty. number of the ranchers are
now grading road to descend to the
level of the creek bed by easy stages,
and they are putting up all of the
labor and expense. This work will al
low them to ford the stream whenever
the stage of the water will permit, but
1t is only a makeshift, and it is prob
able that later they will ask the mer-
chants of Great Falls, to whom the
Improvement would bring many dollars
in the course of the year, to put up
their share of the cost of bridge by
private subscription.

FEELING HOPEFUL.
Work Has Been Begun on the Concen-
traitor at Neihart.

Great Falls, May 27.-Neihart people
are feeling very hopeful to-day. for this
morning work on the concentrator for
the Diamond R. Mining company be-
gan. For many years the good little
camp in the hills has been promised a
concentrator by many persons and
companies, and each new year brought
new hope of the fulfillment of some
one of the promises, and until now each
year has seen the disappointment of
that hope. Everyone admitted that the
working of a concentration meant the
working of three-fourths of the devel-
oped mines and each owner and COM
pany waited for the other to proceed
with the building. Now it is about to
be accomplished. The obstacles in the
way mentioned in this column some
time ago have apparently been re-
moved. This week the ground has
been cross sectioned and this morning
work actually begun.
The concentration building will stand
on lower Main street, about so yards
below the Frisco hotel, and on the same
side of the street. 1t will occupy a
