CHARGED WITH
FORGING CHECKS
S. W. Lanshorne, Chief Clerk State
Board Of Stock Commissioners
Arrested for Forgery

Helena, Dec. 27.-Sam w. Lang
horne, Jr., pleaded guilty in the dis
trict court today to forgery and was
sentenced by Judge j. M. Clements
to one year in the penitentiary.
Helena, Dec. 26.-Acting on a
complaint sworn to by D. w. Ray
mond. secretary of the state board
of livestock commissioners, Sheriff
Higgins This evening arrested Samuel
W. Langhorne, Jr, on the charge OF
forgery. 1t is alleged that Lang
horne, who has been employed as
clerk in the office of Secretary Ray
mond, forged Endorsements to checks
given by the secretary in pay ment for
estray cattle sold on the Chicago
market.
The investigation which started last
week. and is in charge OF State EX-
aminer Kumpe, has revealed so far,
it is said, forgeries that aggregate
$4,000; and it is believed that the
total will reach far greater sum be-
fore the investigation is completed.
Many thousands ofdollars are received
every year by the secretary OF the
livestock board from the sale OF
estrays on the Chicago market. Lang
horne has had charge of this part OF
the business of the office. When a
shipment arrives at Chicago from
Montana the inspectors employed by
the commission make a note OF all
the cattle in the shipment bearing a
brand not owned by the shipper.
These are known as estrays. When
these estrays are sold, the commits
sion man, in many instances, gives
the check for them to the Inspector
and the latter sends to the secretary
in Helena, with the brands on the
estray cattle. The secretary then
gets the names of the owners from
the brands on record in his office and
sends them checks for the animals.
1t is alleged that Langhorne, in
stead of forwarding these checks, re-
tanned them, forged the endorsements
and then had them cashed by local
merchants. The checks went through
the banks all right, and Langhorne
had no difficulty in getting them
cashed. because he was known to be
connected with the office that issued
them.
The announcement came last week
when one of the banks which hac
handled number of the checks, re-
fused to give customer credit fol
one, alleging that the endorsement
on it was very similar to others 1t hae
taken in. This man took the checi
to Secretary Raymond, and the latte'
soon found something was wrong. Ill
