But Red Thunder's check was
worthless and the clothing firm Of
B. Levy & Co. is out about $42.50
and 3 blankets on the transaction.
One June IL an Indian, who said
he was Flathead, appeared at the
Levy store and bought blankets.
He took out check book and calm
ly wrote out $50, which he offered
in payment. 1t was the first time
that an Indian had ever written a
check for him, SO Levy, having
faith in the Indian, or else believ-
ing he did not know enough to
write bogus checks, cashed it.
. A couple of days ago the Mis-
soula bank, ON which the worthless
paper was drawn, notified Levy that
RED Thunder" had no account
there. A warrant was sworn out
this morning. So far as known
Red Thunder is the first Indian
forger on record.

LUNAT|C ON DIZZY PERCH
SHOUTS GOD SAVE KING"
Struggles Desperately to Leap From High Build
Ing to Certain Death In Street
God save the king! God save

God save the king! God save
the king!"
Charles Quinlan,a Canadian Ia
borer, stood upon the roof of the
Tennessee lodging house about 8
O'Clock this morning and shouted
the above at the top of his voice.
He was terribly in earnest about
It, He could be heard for blocks.
Passersby thought he was drunk
and paid no further attention to
him until he announced in the same
stentorian tones that he was going
to leap off the building. He
shouted this several times and
seemed bent on making the leap,
which would mean certain death.
Two men called up the police
station and then dashed into the
lodging house, up to the top floor
and out a window onto the roof,

MANAGER TUCKER
DENIES IT

Manager Tucker, Of the Western
Union, denies that Chief Operator
Mckinney was responsible for the
Great Northern refusing work to
2 striking operators. He investi-
gated the case today and says the
men were simply employed to re-
place 2 regular operators, who re-
turned. Tucker says neither he
nor Mckinney knew that the
strikers were working for the rail-
road.
But the union men want to
know why it was, If the strikers
were not Disseminated against, a
regular man was hired yesterday by
the G. N. after the strikers had
been laid off. They both wanted
lob.

where they grabbed the demented
man, who struggled desperately
and was slowly, surely dragging
himself and the men to the edge
of the roof.
Police went on the run to the
scene and when detective McDer-
mott and Patrolman Shannon
reached the place they were just
in time to prevent Quinlan from
making the leap.
Quinlan fought the officers and
it took the strength of men to
force him back into the lodging
house. He fought all the way over
to the police station, where he was
put into a straightjacket. This af-
ternoon he will be taken to the
county Jail and examined by the
insanity commission. Quinlan Is
about 35 years old and too crazy to
tell where he came from.

men ENOUGH But
LITTLE TO DO

From the scarcity of press dis
patches today the strike situation
is worse or better according ly as
you look at it from the company
or operators standpoint
Both local Offices have men
enough, they say, to handle all the
business, statement that has be-
come very familiar during the.
strike. The Western Union even
admits to having more than enough
men, which means that very little
business, comparatively, is getting
started.

AGED SUFFERS
PROMISED RELIEF

The publicity given the sad
plight of John p. Todd and his
wife, the aged couple who have
been suffering from sickness and
hardship at W16SS Wilson av., has
resulted in steps being taken to af-
ford relief. The Reno Relief corps
has been interested through Mrs.
Kirby, president. The case has
also been reported to the Asso-
ciated Charities, and promises of
attention secured. Another appeal
to the county commissioners to
supply wood attracted no notice
from that body.
Mr.. Todd, although a veteran, is
not member OF local G.. A. r.
post, and for that reason happened
to be overlooked by those organiza-
lions.

GIVEN
PAINTERS UNIONS

Hereafter 1t will be impossible
for the president of the Interna-
tional Typographical union to COM
pei members of the union to accept
a reduction in wages as was done In
the case of the Butte union recent
ly. The newspaper publishers OF
Butte closed down and refused to
open again until the printers ac-
cepted reduction in their wage
scale and made other concessions.
President Lynch, of the internation-
al union, eventually stepped In and
compelled the Butte union to ac-
cept the terms offered by the pub
fishers.
At the last convention of the In
ternatlonal union a law was adopt
ed which gives to the subordinate
unions local autonomy and prevents
repetition of the action taken In
the case OF the Butte union.
