CHIEF HANDS OUT ADVICE
Gives a Little Talk Straight From the
Shoulder to an 4-nnoying
Caller

Chief Reynolds of the police depart
ment got on his dignity yesterday eve
ming and in no unmistakable language
informed Joseph A. Levenson that his
troubles were too numerous to be at
tended by one ordinary chief of such
d department.
"You are a peculiar fellow said the
chief, land l am inclined to take your
talk as all con. Just quit bothering me
until you have a slight excuse, at least,
and then 1 will gladly listen to your
wants" Leverson is h small. nervous
Jew, with Jet black hair and whiskers.
He keeps moving at all times and con-
verses rapidly.
Leverson appeared at Chief Reynolds
office Monday for the first time and said
that he was detective by profession.
The chief didn't doubt his statement, but
as he had no use for another detective
SO long as faithful, Industrious Jerry
Murphy is on hand, the official could not
see where the information, volunteered
by his friend could be of assistance to
him. His ignorance in this line, how
ever, was soon cleared by Leverson maxi
ing bold the assertion that he intended
working for Butte City. After long
pause and several minutes of discom-
lOTt, lOE Tie CIlcl, at least, Tile NlSllOI
said, THAT is. if they care to pay me
enough to warrant my staying in this
country
Chief Reynolds became weary about
this time and told Levenson that Butte
wanted no more detectives so his friend
left.
/ Tuesday Levenson appeared at the po-
lice station and desired to get warrant
for the arrest of some people whose
ma mes he did not care to divulge. He
said that he would make the arrests I'M
aided and that it would not be neces-
sary to send policeman along. When
he was informed that he could not Sc
! cure any such warrant without giving
the names and stating the reasons for
such warrant he became indignant and
az ain departed only to return yester-
day.
When Levenson succeeded in finding
the chief he informed that patient off,
cial that he expected two cars of goods
from the east and as he had lost his
bills of lading' he desired that two po-
Ecemen be placed at the depot on the
arrival of the goods to protect them from
other people who might imagine they
We're theirs.
Again Chief Reynolds did not neces-
sarily doubt his statement, but having
no facts upon which to convince himself
that the man really meant what he said
he told the fellow to ship until he could
get his proper bearings and talk sense.
Later yesterday the chief was reliev-
cd by Levenson appearing at his Office
| door and stating that he guessed he
| would go to work. The city treasurer
office was called on and license secur-
cd for a peddler. Levenson says he will
| run all the merchants in Butte out
of business.

Caused By Small Forgery

and this one fell into his hands, among
the others. What possessed him to take
the rash step of forgery is not known, az
he had been a boy of good habits. He
got hold of a check book at the office,
one that had not yet been used. and
made out another check for $35, this
one bearing the alleged signature of Mr..
Clark and Mr.. Whitmore. This was
presented at Connells store, and cashed.
It is supposed the youth who forged
