Known in Glasgow.


known in Glasgow.
Sheriff C. w. Powell was at Savoy
last wee'. investigating the sale of an
automobile which had been stolen.
Three men, supposedly from Glas-
gov sold 1915 Buick car to w. w.
Harvey at Savoy for $4,000 in Feb
ruary and it has since developed that
the car belonged to man in Scobey
and that those who sold it, stole it
from garage in Glasgow.
On FEBRUARY 23rd, three men regis
tered at the New England Hotel at
Harlem as A. C. Goldman, A. Floren,
and F. y. Muth and gave Glasgow as
their address. They drove Buick
car all the way fror. Glasgow in spite
of the sract that the snow was very
| deep at that time, and in coming
through Savoy they made deal with
w. w. Harvey, to buy the car for
| $4,000. Mr.. Harvey went to Har-
lem with them to close the deal and
paid them $4,000 down, with the un-
derstantlng that the balance should
be paid May first. This was done to
show Mr.. Harvey that it was square
deal and to give him an opportunity
to investigate if he cared to that they
were the rightful owners of the car.
However, shortly after April first,
Mr.. Harvey received letter from Sc
attic from the party who sold him
the cas- with a request for the balance
of the r,ohey duo. Mr.. Harvey had
then had the car about six weeks and
no doub5 thought that everything was
all right. so he instructed the bank at
Harlem to send draft to the Seattle
bank for $4,000. This was done on
April S,h. On Tuesday, April 18th,
Mr.. Harvey was served with notice
that he had purchased stolen car.
1t was thought probable that the
draft hau not reached its destination
so telegram was sent to the Seattle
bank to stop payment, and arrest the
parties calling for it. The telegram
arrived too late, however, the bnak
wiring back that the parties wanted
had SAID they We're leaving that day
for Vancouver, B. G. The police at
Seattle and surrounding towns and at
Vancouver were alsc notified and are
looking for the men wanted. The po-
lice in the other coast cities also have
descriptions of the men and it is
thought that they will be caught be-
fore loor. Sheriff Powell is making
every effort to catch the men and
bring lnem to justice.
One OF the men, who gave his name
as A. G. Goodman was in Glasgow for
several months last winter and was
known as Arthur Golden, which is
probably his right name. He borrow
ed the car last wirter from man in
, ScoDev to drive to Glasgow and back.
On &C cunt of the deep snow, which
fell at that time be was unable to re-
j.. turn with the car, so he left it in one
r of the garages here and returned to
Scobey on the train, informing the
owner Of what he had done. Golden
returned to Glasgow shortly after
wards and used tie car here several
times doing livery work.
The car was taken out of the gar
age one night and Golden, with two
companions started west. At Savoy,
being shcrt Of funds, they made deal
to sell the car TO Mr.. Harvey.
The owner Of the car at Scobey
, thought that the cor was safe in the
garage here and 'ame down about a
, week ago to take it back and when he
found the car had been stolen he no.
titled the Sheriff. Sheriff Powell sent
out notices all along the line and the
Marshall at Harlem on receiving one
:. of them recalled the deal between
Golden and Harvey.
