town. There wasn't anything too
good for s. C. Jackson.
The Seattle paper states hat jack
son. while in Albuquerque. was APP
pointed administrator of property
left to his niece. Vera Jackson. 1t is
believed, however, that this is erron-
I eous. 1t is known that Jackson was

of F. Fl. Twist. deceased. and that
much u~nfavorable criticism vas made
against him at the time nc made an
accounting as administrator, because
Of his alleged extravaganza i'm attend
ing to the affairs incident to the
estate.
Jackson was well known in Albu-
queraue and the complete article
about his alleged troubles in Ger
many. Will probably be Of interest
The story is as follows:
Samuel Caniff Jackson, former
head Of the Pacific Logging and Tim
her company. of this city, for several
years a prominent lumberman, is in
trouble In Bremen, Germany, grow
ing out of a timber land deal reach
ing into the millions. Jackson's mag
nificent home in this city has been
given up; his wife, formerly Miss
Mary l.. Lamb. of Marshall. Mich,
has abandoned her apartment at the
Robinson, and. with Vera Jackson. a
distant relative who he introduced
as his ward, returned to her father,
c.. f.. Lamb. a wealthy and prom
inent Michigan lumberman.
Jackson went abroad as the pro-
moter for a company to exploit vast
timber interests on Vancouver Island.
He was employed by Murray & Co,
who have offices in the Maynard
building, to interest the necessary
capital and float the S5.000,00 de-
velopment concern. He is charged
by the German police with obtaining
thousands OF marks under false pre-
lenses, and a German count with
whom he formed a partnership is
also under arrest.
Murray & Co. state hat they have
had advices that Jackson is in trou-
BILE abroad. They say that they have
reoreanized their company and cast
him out since hearing reports on his
conduct. f. r. Murray said last
night. He's in trouble; we have
nothing to say. He has not robbed
us. but he is no longer connected
with as. His action has hurt our
venture. but 1t win go through in
spite Of that. s. c. Jackson has
nothing to do with us now. although
we sent him abroad. We are await
ing adviees now as to the nature OF
the charges against him"
Murray & Cor. rather, the Muir

posed of s. c. Jackson. president; f
J.. Lane. vice-president; and E. r.
Murray, secTetary-treasurer Since
Jackson's trouble the company. ac-
cording TO Mr.. Murray, has been re-
organized and jackson is out-and
out for good.
Two years ago Jackson ran a swift
business and social current here. He
talked giibly of millions.
In a few months the golden current
has turned and now instead Of being
termed a daring promoter he is &C
cused of wrong-doing.
Jackson has driven a street car and
has handled hundreds Of thousands
of money. No town knew him twice,
In lumber and financial circles Jack
son is as well known in this city as
the Totem pole. He came here about
four years ago from Albuquerque. \
NJ. Jackson wore good clothes and
wore them well. He brought with
him the check book Endorsement Of
his rich fsther-in-law.
J8ckson's first Managerial effort
in this city. promoting the Pacific
Logging and Timber company. was q
failure. but not a failure for Jack
son. HI went from the Pioneer
building. where he had his offices. to
the Hinckley building. There he or
sanized a new company. His COM

of his life which he had printed as
an advertisement in a leading lumber
magazine. In this article he tells Of
