IS ACCUSED OF HAVING

A complaint charging DR.. Carl Schultz
with the crime of forgery was issued
from the county attorneys office last
night and filed in Justice Harrington's
court. A warrant for the arrest of
Schultz followed and was placed in the
hands of an officer for service, but up to
a ate hou today the alleged offender
had not been arrested. After the COM
plant was issued Schultz received a
tip on the proposed move against him
and it is thought he concluded to get
out Of the way.
The charge against him is practically
an old one. In 1894 John Mcdonald, a
young man who performed splendid work
as a soldier in the Philippine islands,
thought he was sick and consulted
Schultz, who was then practicing as a
specialist in Butte. With an eye to busi-
ness Schultz confirmed his suspicious
and said he would effect a cure for $50.
Mcdonald did not have the money, but
gave the specialist a promissory note to
secure the amount. A few weeks later
the note was presented to Mcdonald for
redemption, but instead of $50 it had
grown to $500. Schultz was suspected of
having raised it. and a warrant for his
arrest was issued by Wines & Booth, who
We're then in charge of the county at
torney's office. The case hung fire about
two years and was then dismissed by
the court Oh the representation of the
prosecution thai the complaining wit
ness had disappeared. Mcdonald was
then in Anaconda, and says he did not
know the matter was to be called up.
Since then he has made several efforts
to have the case ~re-opened. but it was
not until last night that his efforts
proved successful.
About three years ago Schultz left
Butte and took up his residence in Grip
pie Creek, Colo, but returned to Butte
last Sunday in order to appear as a wit
ness in a civil suit in which John
O'Roulke is one of the parties. McDon-
aid heard of his presence here and lost
no time in taking steps to secure his re-
arrest on the old charge.
The forgery, or raising, was a bungling
piece of work. To the $50" in the COR
nel' or the note n cipher had been
added, but where the amount was spelled
out the ~ had been erased with a
knife n the word "hundred'' set oppo-
site.
