The discovery of a new system of bright nonthermal filaments near the Galactic center is reported. This system is located in the interior of the western lobe of the Galactic center lobes and at the edge of a molecular cloud centered at V(LSR) of roughly -140 km/s in a relatively uncluttered field. The cloud has spectral lines about 50 km/s wide in (C-12)O, (C-13)O, and CS and a mass of order 100,000 solar.
