FoR PASSING BOGUS CHECK.
TourIs, Tailor ia the ToiIs-Nictims ia
Many Towns.

There came to town the other day
a man calling himself F. f. Potter.
He delighted in being known as the
hobo tailor" and proceeded to load
the town up with orders for tailor
made suits. He required al as a
deposit of good faith in the customer
who ordered from him and among
other things he made purchases at
Stewart 5 to the amount of els for
which he gave check ON the Com.
mercisl National Bank of Bozeman.
Montana Mr.. Stewart accepted the
check after the man assured him that
IL would be cashed, as he had funds in
the bank. The bank was telegraphed
10 and replied that the check was
worthless and that the man had been
passing such checks all along the line
of the Mortimer Pacific. 4 warrant
was sworn out for Potter's arrest and
he was taken before Justice Brennan
Tuesday an locked up on failure to
give bonds for his appearance Thurs,
day. He claims there is some mis-.
take about the matter, but the bank
backed up It's telegram by a letter
giving more details Of Potter's crook
cd work. Those who paid him money
on a suit of clothes, and we under
stand our friend Moon, who became
| famous through his incubator and
chicken story, is one of them, are now
wondering il the clothing will come.
They are little shaky ON the matter
since Mr. Potter has been arrested
but are not saying much. Potter
had a preliminary hearing before the
Justice Friday and was taken to Rath-

4 PIONEER PASSES AWAY
BORN IN OREGON so YEARS AGO
Gilbert Mclaughlin Lived with the In
dians-wAs an Honest and Plain Cit
izen-Lived I'm KoOleaAI County for
Forty Years.

Wednesday Of Last week at his home
near Port Hill, in the extreme north
ern part OF this county, the death Of
Gilbert Mclaughlin took place. He
was born nearly 80 years ago in Ore
gon, about Astoria, in what was then
the territory Of Oregon. and thus pos
sessed, besides many picturesque at
tainments, the distinction of being
one Of the first, If not the first, man
born of white father along the north
Pacific coast.
He was the son Of Chief Factor
John Mclaughlin Of the Hudson Bay
company, who planted the first grain
along the Columbia, whom Bancroft,
the historian, calls the "Christ Of
Northwest Occupation.
The father brought the Hudson Bay
company from Fort Vancouver to
Astoria prior TO 1924. and Gilbert's
mother was. from historic accounts,
an Indian. Bancroft states that she.
brightly attired. was wont TO ride
her gaily csprisoned steed in excurs-
ZONES with her husband.
Another son. John. jr.. also by the
Indian mother. was assassinated by
one Of his followers at Fort Stikeen
in April. 1912. after drunken
brawl he having inherited evil traits
from his maternal ancestor.
4 Mrs. Harvey. formerly Of Oregon
City. was also an offspring from the
union of Mclaughlin to the daughter
of the forest.
OF Gilbert none but the good In
told. He was in the employ Of the
Hudson's Bay company up to forty
years ago in the place in which he at
last claimed a resting place Port
Hill. ON the kooienai river. near the
Canadian line.
To the Indians and the settlers in
the place be was comI arabic to his
great father. Whose personality was Of
striking grandure Nbei her in the
: American forrest or in the tborOugb-
fares of London. Gilbert followed
the instincts ~ his mother in his
love for the ways Of the forest. which
not even years spent on the boulevsrds
Of Paris. where lac wa taken by the
: father early in life. could eradicate.
When he gave up his post with the
company he s6ttled on clsim like
any other homesteader aud gave him
self over to quit enjoyment of the
woods aud the mountains.
He was satiasfied with mere iiv-
ing, and he married full blood
Kootensi woman who died several
: years ago. leaving several sous and
daughters.
One of the most striking features
: of this picturesque career was his re-
J tention in all his semi nOmadic eNis-
d tence the reflnements of speech and
= manner that helped to make his
y father famous before him. Il WAS
with almost shock that the casual
visitor TO the home would find bensth
the rugged exterior Of this man the
feeling and instincts of the gentle
"A man.
He was followed TO the grave Thrus-
= day by the entire Kootenai tribe and
? practically all of his white neiVhbors.
