by the forger to make the checks
bear an official appearance. Appar-
emily he had secured blank checks
issued by the Silver Bow National
bank and with a clever system of
printing had stamped the check head
of the supreme court with j. T. Car
rolls name across the top.
He is not believed to have realized
the full amount for which any of
the checks were drawn. 1t is thought
probable that he presented the checks
at a bank for collection after making
a small deposit as a checking ac-
count.
A few days before the bank Off
Gals had time to receive word from
Butte on the bogus check he would
approach them with the plea of being
pressed for funds and secure an ad-
vance of a few hundred dollars on
the check, which would then be re-
turnable in a short time. Having Sc
cured this money, he would jump to
another town, where he would repeat
the operations.
The route taken by the forger as
shown by the trail CT checks shows
that he seldom remained in any one
section of the country more than a
few days, when he would disappear,
to turn up again in some distant city.

MANAGER
AT GREAT FALLS
NEW JOB FOR CHIEF ENGINEER
ON CONSTRUCTION FOR MON
TANA POWER COMPANY
Came to Great Falls in 1887 and
Has Made Steady Advance Since,
Having Built Great Power Plants
at Great Falls, Hotter and at Rain
bow Falls; Coleman to Billings.

Announcement was made last week
at Butte by Frank M. Kerr, vice
president and general manager of the
Montana Power company, of the ap-
pointment of two branch managers
to fill vacancies which have recently
occurred in the personnel of the or
g~anization.
To succeed James r. Hobbins as
manager of the Great Falls district,
Frank Scotch of Butte has been ap-
pointed, and as successor to G. G.
Simonson at Billings, Frank Coleman
has been made manager.
To old time residents of Great
Falls, Mr.. Scotten's appointment will
bring back to the Electric City a ia
miliar face. From 1887 to 1916, Mr..
Scotch was a great Falls resident.
He first went to the city as an en-
ploye of the Great Northern railway,
engaged in construction work. He
assisted in building the line from
Great Falls to Sand Coulee for the
opening up of the coal mines. In
the spring of 1888 he was engaged
in construction work on the smelter
being built at Giant Springs by the
Montana Smelling company. He af-
forwards established the firm of Scot
ten e Stanton, with offices in Great
Falls, which conducted a surveying
and real estate business, specializing
in ranch properties.
Built SmeIter and Dams
In the fall of 1889 he was assist
ant engineer for the Great Falls
Water Power and Townsite company
in charge of the construction of the
Black Eagle dam. Later he built
the smelter for the Boston and Mon
tana Consolidated Copper and Silver
Mining company at Great Falls and
served Is chief engineer of construc-
tion work from 1902 to 1908. The
important task of building the Rain
bow dam was intrusted to Mr.. Scot
ten in 1908, the work being finish
ed 81 months later. In 1914 he was
transferred to Butte, where he has
served as chief construction engineer
up to now.
Frank Coleman came to Montana
about II years ago and went to work
for the Missouri River Power COM
pany as an operator, later being en-
gagged by the Great Falls Power COM
pany in transmission line construc-
ton work and the building OF city
distributing lines as new towns YER
added to the system. This was fol-
lowed by an appointment as mana
ger of the Roundup district of the
Montana Power company. About two
years ago Mr.. Coleman was made SUI
perintendent at Billings, from which
position he has now been promoted to
manager.

SWINDLER
CAUGHT ON COAST
FRANK SMYTHE FORGED MANY
CHECKS ON CLERK OF MON
TANA SUPREME COURT
Nationwide Search Ends in San
Francisco; Man-Hunt for Criminal
Started by Butte Banker; Operated
in Many Cities of the West and
Successfully Eluded Pursuit.

With the arrest at San Francisco
of a man operating under the name
of Frank j. Smythe, a swinder whose
cleverness with the pen had probably
Melted him several thousands of dol
lars is believed to have at last fallen
into the arms of the law.
The arrest of Smythe followed a
search that took on nationwide pro-
portions, which began when a series
OF bogus checks written on j. T. Car
roll, clerk of the supreme court, and
j.. F. Driscoll, clerk of the district
court of Silver Bow county, were
placed in circulation.
Apprehension of the man was due
largely to the combined efforts of
agents of the Pinkerton Detective
agency the Montana Bankers asso-
citation and John J. Burke, cashier of
the Silver Bow National bank of
Butte.
The total amount Smythe secured
by means of these checks is not yet
known, but it will probably be sew
eral thousands of dollars, officials
declare.
Beginning at Mexia, Texas, Smythe
left a trail of worthless paper behind
him that extended to such cities as
Des Moines, Kansas City, st. Joseph,
Omaha, Denver, Seattle, Spokane,
and other points.
Smythe first made his presence
felt in this section of the country
when a check drawn on Clerk Carroll
of the supreme court of Montana was
presented at an Omaha bank for COL
The same day another check

over 20 per cent of the net profits
of the industry. The development OF
American mineral resources has been
one of the foundation stones in the
building of the entire commercial
and Industrial structure of this coun-
try, for the mining industry has fur
nished the raw materials which have
made possible large scale manufac-
turing production. There is a dan
ger that unless a more equitable and
fair system of federal and state taxa
ton can be worked out that the min
ing industry's development will be
seriously hampered and in view of
the natural decrease in our mineral
resources, the time will come when
the mining industry will no longer
furnish American industry with the
basis of its productive value.
"Other matters of general interest
will, of course, be brought out, in
Guiding a discussion of the question
of the proper conservation of miner
al and the development of
plans which will result in the eff
Gent utilization of natural resources,
but which at the same time will safe
guard and protect reserves for the
future. Transportation and the prob
lem of the development of cheap
power through the utilization of
water power facilities will also be
questions discussed at the Denver
conference.

American Mining congress to be held

not only representative leaders
of the mining industry in the great
western mining states for the purpose
of establishing a united policy, but
1t undoubtedly will result in the at

delegations representing the state

There are people in Montana who have
never heard of r. Augustus Heinze, but
20 years ago he was a factor in the state
politically and financially. He divided
Montana into two hostile camps, and kept
the city of Butte in an uproar. Finally,
after achieving an immense fortune he sold
out his mining interests, went to New
York. and after a short but tempestuous
career lost the millions he had made in
Montana and went down to oblivion.

Federal and State Taxation
"The mining industry, like other
business in the United States, has
felt keenly the burden of taxation.

1919, state and federal taxes placed
upon the mining industry increased

Senator Charles S. Muffley, who recently
became president Of the Montana Mining
association, was born in Alder gulch, when
the bed rock of that famous stream was
yielding up the richest of its treasures.
His father, Judge Theodore Muffley, was
the first treasurer of the territory. His
grandfather, Judge Don L. Byam, was the
Judge who presided at the trials of Ives
and Plummer, notorious highwaymen, who
were convicted by the miners court of the
early days, and hanged out of hand.
Senator Muffley has devoted a long life
to the mining game. He has opened up
several mines in Broadwater country that
have proven successful. He has served
three terms in the state senate from
Broadwater county.
