Over a week ago he arrested a countryman, who gave him quite a vussle, but the officer did not think he injured himself. He later felt pains in his right arm, but thought it was rheuma- tism, and treated the arm for such, but the usual remedies afforded very little relief. Last evening Dr. A. B. Shekell, in making an examination, ascertained that one of the bones of the lower foream had been broken in an oblique manner, evidently caused by a sudden twist. An Ex-Police: Sent Down. Timothy Moriarity, an ex-policeman, was arrested, and yesterday in the Police Court he was made to answer to charges of as- sault and of disorderly conduct. He was on a Great Falls electric car last Sunday, and created quite a disturbance, being ejected by the conductor. The insult ran- kted in his breast, and the next day he waited for th’> conductor to get satisfaction. He failed to recognize his man, and waik- ing up to Mr. R. A. Wood he struck him in the face. He went down on the farm for fifteen days for the offense. Real Estate Matters. There were several transfers local Property placed on record yesterday. Saml.

Mclean charged with false pretenses, holding the third, fourth, fifth and sixth counts of the indictment to be fatally defective District Attorney Davis thereupon nolle Prossed the remaining counts, the first any second, and Mr. Mclean, formerly very prominent in local business circles, was discharged from further liavility. Mr. McLean, so the indictment set forth, obtaired from Mrs. John H. Howlett in 1894 several sums of money on alleged fictitiously signed notes of Washington Nailor and others. His attorney, Mr. Thos. C. Taylor, claimed that the last four counts of the indictment failed to allege any of- fense, but expressed himself as being de- sirous of going to trial on the first twc counts. Mr. Taylor, even when Mr. Davis asked leave of the court to nolle pros the remaining counts, Insisted upon a trial be- fore a jury on them, but the court allowed Mr. Davis to nolle them. Mr. Taylor ex- plained that he desired a jury trial, in order to show the entire innocence of Mr. Mc- Lean. Cane Nolte Prossed.
