CITY HEALTH COMMISSIONER
SUES MANDEL BROTHERS
DIR. George B. Young, city health
commissioner, has filed suit against
Mandel Bros department store,
charging the store with iniuring the
health of employees by making them
work in the sub-basemeht.
Mandel Bros. have been selling
goods in the endorsement for some
time. Young says that the artificial
light and bad air down there cannot
but be injurious to the health of the
saleswomen forced to work there.
Chief Mcdonnell, of the fire pre-
vent1on bureau, also has entered OBJ
Ject1ons against the stores use of the
sub-basement for selling goods.
Mcdonnell says that if Mandel
Bros store caught fire, any person
working in the sub-basement would
be caught like a rat in a trap, with
all escape shut off.
Inere is a rumOr than Mandel
Bros. have been using the sub-base-
ment to. establish a claim to a station
should a subway be constructed.
Mandel Bros. have refused all de-
mands of city officers that they stop
using the sub-basement as a selling
place. Their answer to all was the
same.
We used the sub-basement under
an old ordinance which gave us per-
mission to do so. We have gone on
using it ever since. Therefore we
have the right to continue to use it."
DR.. Young intends to have this
strange argument tested in the mu-
nicipal court.

round dozen off the Billings man,
the Middies made a record of ten hits.
SINNERS had bit the better control,

Lewistown scored one in the first,
when McQuaid sent the ball over the
right field fence for two bags. Giffin

with nice hit to left, good for one
bag, but which the speedy fielder ex-
tended for two. This scored McQuaid,

passed ball, but died there when Kelly
went out, SINNERS to first.
The third inning proved disastrous
one for the visitors. Giffin opened the
proceedings with a safe bunt along
the third base line. G. Eastman was
safe on tumble by Hodgins, advanc-
ing Giffin to second, and SINNERS
balk was good for another sack. Con-
ley rolled one down to first and was
out, but scored Giffin, Eastman taking
third. Kelly drew a pass and made a
rush for second at an opportune mo-

ball was too high and Eastman prompt

In the matter of the estate of Patrick

slain last month by Lowrie s. Nc
Loughlin following an assault by the
deceased on Mclaughlin, the will has
been admitted to probate. Judge
Ayers has appointed Samuel Phillips
executor and C. ]. Marshall has been
engaged by the heirs as attorney. The
exact value of the estate is not known,
but it is estimated at from $4,000 to
100000, consisting largely of land and
livestock. The will was executed on
October 4, 1911. A sister, Catherine
Duffy, of Toronto, Canada, is be-
queathed $1,000. Another sister, Mary
Duffy, of Acton West, OlNario, Canada,
is left $4,000. A nephew, Joseph Pad

termine the exact value of the estate.
Mr.. Mclaughlin has decided to make
no further move in the matter of be-
Ing admitted to bail. When this mat

F. II. PIERCE, WHO OPERATED
HERE, ARRESTED AT
WALlA WALlA,
TULLOCK GOES AFTER HIM
Man May Be Charged With Forgery
Cleaned Up About $1,250 by His
Work in Lewistown Fraudulent
Certificates Of Entry on Wyoming
Coal Lands.

Sheriff Firman Tullock left yester-
day for Walla Walla, Washington, to
bring back F. H. Piercy, who is want
ed here In connection with an alleged
oil land swindle. Piercy arrived in
Lewistown some time ago and let 1t
be known to chosen few that he
was indirectly connected with the
Standard Oil company. w. r. Flem-
ing came in with him, or arrived soon
after and he was supposed to In a
Standard Oil attorney. Piercys spe-
cialty was to organize groups to take
up oil lands in Natrona county, Wyom-
ing. AS only twenty acres can be
taken for this purpose by an indi-
vidual, Piercy formed groups OF eight
men, whose combined entries would
thus make 100 acres. After forming
these groups OF eight, and collecting
$40 from each member, the entries
were sent back to Fleming, who was
supposed to file them with the county
clerk and recorder. In due time what
appeared to be the filing certificates
was received from the clerk and re-
cOrder. 1t is claimed that eight such
groups were formed in LewistQwn,
Piercy collecting total of $1,250.
The special inducement was that the
Standard Oil was anxious to get this
land, but could not do SO itself. The
locatOrs, however, leased to the attor-
ney upon condition that drilling was to
begin within a fixed period, always
very short, and with the certificates
coming in from the clerk and record
er, the scheme was an inviting one
for a a'most anyone to take flyer to
the extent of only $40 with chance
of making big cleanup.
Suspicion seems to have been first
aroused by the remarkable difference
in the page numbers on the certificates
from the Wyoming county clerk and
recorder and this led to inquiry. At
torney C. w. Buntin tooks the matter
up for some of those interested and
wrote to the clerk and recorder In
Wyoming. The information he re-
celved was to the effect that last De-
cember the wife of Mr.. Fleming did
make two or three of these oil land
filings. AS no others were received, 1t
is the theory of Mr.. Buntin that this
was done In order to get official GER
tificates, so that duplicates might be
printed and used In carrying out the
swindle. The name of the clerk and
recorder was forged to the bogus GER
tificates used here by Pierce, SO that
forgery charge can be brought
against the parties.
The officers had been trying for sew
eral days to locate Pierce and he was
finally caught at Walla Walla. He
gave out statement there yesterday
to the effect that If any wrongful act
had been committed 1t must have
been the work of Fleming, as he,
Pierce, was acting honestly through.
out.
Pierce was thoroughly prepared to
make his talk strong, as he had gone
to the trouble of providing himself
with blueprints of the land to be To-
Gated on.
