Warrant Charging Him With
Grand Larceny Issued.
VERDICT FOR $4,000
Returned in the Damage Suit Of Sam.
uel H. Stewart VS.. The Singer
Manufacturing Company.

DIR. George H. Wells and possibly
others would like very much to interview
Frank Boyle, who came from Salt Lake
to Butte a few weeks g and represented
himself as an agent for the Western Loan
and Savings company of that city. For
the purpose of impressing upon Mr.. Boyle
the fact that his presence here is desired
a warrant charging him with obtaining
money under false pretenses was issued
by Justice Nichols at the instigation Of
DR.. Wells and the county attorney sew
eral days ago, but the prospects for It's
immediate service are not very fatter-
ing, as Boyle is not in the city. On the
supposition that he might be in Missoula
DR.. Wells wired the officers there to look
out for him., but no returns have resulted.
When BOYLE struck the city a month
back he was introduced to Fred Kerth as
an agent for the Mr.. Kerth has
an office on East Granite street and is
himself the comDany's Montana repre-
sentative. He was told by the man that
made the Introduction that Boyle intend
ed to solicit business here for the COM
pany. To this Mr.. Kerth replied that as
he was the real representative Boyle
would have to pay him the regular per-
centage for the sales of stock he succeed
ed in making and the transmissions to the
head office would nave to pass through
his hands. Although Boyle did not have
a commission from Kerth. he began to
solicit and in a short time had made sew
erl sales and negotiated some loans that
We're recognized by the head office. FL
naly he sold DR.. Wells 200 shares of the
stock and collected from him $237. OF this
amount he turned $50 over to Mr.. Kerth
with instructions to send it to the head
office. He kept the balance as his COM
mission. DR.. Wells desired TO negotiate
a loan of $14, 800, and the 200 shares he
bought represented 2 10000. His property
was found to be first-class security for
more than the amount. but when the head
office at Salt Lake received the $50 and
request for the $14,500 loan it practically
threw up both hands and yelled police.
Then it sent the $50 back to Mr.. kerth
with the statement that it would not loan
such an amount to one man; that it had
rather have fourteen persons at 81 600
each than one at $14 900. Mr.. Kerth plac-
ed the $50 in the bank and it is still there,
but Boyle and the balance of the S237 are
missing. AS the matter now stands, DR..
Wells IS out $lS7 or the deal and Boyle
has it with several days start.
1t is said that Boyle also sold a woman
on East Park street some stock, took her
promissary note in payment for it and
then negotiated the note without even
making an attempt to have the stock is
sued by the company.
