Mr. Dowling says that although he

has /been delightful. but when he left

AUSTIN BIDwELL DEAD.
Was Famous for His Share in Bank
of England Forgeries.


Austin Bidwell, one of the men who
became famous through the Bank OF
England forgerics, Is dead at Butte,
Montana. The cause of his death was
given as grip. He was 50 years of age
and a native of Chicago, to which
place his body will be taken for burial.
Austin Bidwell and his brother,
George Bidwell, went to Butte about
two weeks ago. They said they expect
ed to start in business there, having
backing in the east to engage in min
ing. He was taken sick about week
ago.
The story OF the Bdwells is pretty
well known. BY means of forged Sc
curities in 1873 they got S5,000,00O from
the Bank of England after victimizing
other banks in Europe by means of
forged letters of credit. Their idea was
to get $50.00O COO and then compromise
with the bank.
In the big game they failed and fed
| George Bidwell was caught in France
| and Austin Bidwel in Cuba. They
| were tried and given life sentences
with their two Confederates. After
twenty years they were released.
About four years ago Bidwell spent
some time in this city selling the book
concerning the forgeries, which he
wrote after leaving prison.
