CHARGED Win PERJURY.
Phil ~Ssnohsgren, One Time vssged in
lewistown, in Trouble ia Butte.

Early In January Sheriff Shaw received a tel
egram from the sheriff of Silver Bow county
requesting him to intercept a package sent by
express from Butte by one Phil Sanchagren to
Edith Fuller. a dark -colored demi-monde Of
the lower district. Later 5. NJ. Nixon arrived
from Butte and succeeded in having the pack
age sent back TO Butte. The following from
the Anaconda Standard tells the story and its
sequel:
complaint was issued yesterday from the
county attorneys Office against Phil Sancha-
gren, a clerk, formerly in the employ Of S. NJ.
Nixon, charging him with the crime Of per-
jury. The criminal proceeding against Sanch-
agren grows out Of another trouble that has ex-
isted between the two men for some I'M AT
the time Sa%nchagren was in the employ of
Nixon the latter suspected him of having
stolen a lot of articles from the store and he
caused S~auChagTen's room 10 be searched.
when a bunch Of neckties, shoes, an oveTcoat
and other articles were found and claimed by
Nixon as his property. SanchagTen was ar
rested and was given a preliminary trial ON the
charge Of grand larceny. He was successful In
establishing his innocence and the fact that his
arrest, to say the least. was not justified. The

ticles which he was alleged to have stolen had
been sold to him and that he had been charged
with them. The prosecuting witness was con-
tradicted by his own bookkeeper. The result
was that Sanchagren was discharged.
II appeared during this action that Sancha-
gren was indebted to Nixon In the sum Of slO7,
and Nixon began a suit in a justice court. An
attachment was issued and a lady's 300 tur.
quoise ring, which SanchaRren had sent by ex'
press to one Edith Fuller at LeNistown, On the
oath of December. was intercepted and levied
upon. II was sent back to Butte and an actor
against the Northern Pacific Express company
was commenced, in the name Of the Fullel
woman. ~ recover the ring OF its value.
OF course Nixon fought the case, the qucs
ton involved IN the determination Of the sui
being whether the ring was the property o
Fuller or Sanchagrcn. Nixon commended tina
it belonged to Sanchagren and that he haC
made a present Of il TO the woman. Sancha
gTen claimed that he had received by regis
. tered mail 500 from the woman with instruc
p tions Ia buy the ring for her, which he did ant
F.. sent II to her. He testified 10 that at the trial o
4 the case. and the Justice gave the Fuller woman
, Judgment for the ring or the value of il agains
Nixon, who had been substituted as defendan
in the case in the place Of the express com
7 pany.
Nixon now claims to have discovered that NJ
registered letter was ever sent to Sanchsgrer
from Lewistown and received in Butte by him
, and upon that the charge of perjury is based.
Sanchagren was taken up In Lewistown las
4 year and served a short period in jail for va
grancy. His reputation is decidedly bad.
