Fugitive Bootleg
ger StartIeS Folks
in Liberty Dash

i, l.. A. Winner, farmer said to live
! in the vicisity of Geyser was arrested
Saturday few miles out of Belt on
the Raynesford road by State Prohi-
bition Officer Eugene Van Vert and
three of his deputies, Z. r. Jones, III.
ID. Mueller and C. d. Hanna, on a
charge of transporting liquor. He
was taken to Great Falls and locked
up in the county jail.
The car driven by Winner was sup
posedly on its way from Geyser to
either Belt or Great Falls when
stopped by the prohibition officers,
and was found to cantain five and
half gallons of moonshine. The of
fieers' car and Winners continued
back to Belt, the latter in charge of a
couple of deputies. With Winser at
the time of arrest was another man
whose identity was not established.
AS the cars slowed down coming
across the bridge and rounding the
corner at the Polutnik building, the
unidentified man made dash for lib
erty, jumping from the car in which
he was riding and running into the AL
ley beA8ia& the Polutnik and George
Browning buildings. AS he ran one
of the officers also jumped from the
car and followed, drawing q gun and
a flash light from his pockets and
with the aid of the latter firing shot
at the fugitive.
In the darkness, however, the Of
ficer lost his man, and few minutes
later the fellow crept into the George
Browning home through the back door
on his hands and knees, frightening
Mr.. Browning's daughter, who was in
the kitchen, and rising up onto his
feet and demanding LET me out of
here" and nearly upsetting Mr..
Browning as he dashed through the
house and out through the front door.
Gaining the street, he ran north on
Castner street, passing Z. H. Sunder-
meier just this side Of his home. Sum
dermeier inquired as to what was the
matter, the fellow answering Moth
ing" and cutting across the street into
the field back of the Episcopal church,
disappeared.
Gaining the assistance of local Of
ficers, the prohibition men conducted
short search. but realizing that in
the darkness they had no chance of
locating the man. they coon gave up,
continuing on into the Falls with
Winner. Later Deputy Sheriff Le-
land was notified that man answer
ing that Of the fugitive, as nearly as
1t could be determined in the darkness,
had been seen in one Of the local pool
halls, but by the time the officer
reached the place, the man had disap-
peored and nothing more has been
seen Of him.
Winner told the officers that he was
a dry land farmer, had family Of five
children to support and couldn't
make the grade" on the farm, so WAS
driven to "bootlegging."

Council Creates Water Works Sink
ing Funk; Transact Other Business

increasing, the record showing five
and half million gallons being
pumped in September. Believing
something other than the natural con-
sumption of water to be the cause of
these increases, the council determined
to conduct few tests in an attempt
TO discover whether this belief was
we'll founded, and il so the cause, and
ordered the water shut off from the
city mains between the hours of 10
and II o'clock Sunday morning. With
no water being released from the tank
the pump was started to see If it was
actually pumping the water into the
tank that its rating called for, the
test showing that il was not doing
this. The pump has been in operation
for nine years and in that time has
had no repairs, and with the test
showing that it was throwing only
about half the water it should, MEM
bers of the council are convinced that
repairs are needed and when these
are installed, the pumping cost will be
considerably reduced. The repairs
wsll be installed as soon as possible.
Heretofore the council has had no
method Of keeping check upon the
expenditures of the various funds, but
upon motion from Alderman $. A.
Remington, he city clerk is required in
the future to list each month the ex-
penditures from the various funds,
carrying forward the totals each
month and present to the council in
order that that body may know how
the expenditures are comparing with
the revenue.
Before adjournment Aldermen Chas.
Carlson and Remington were appoint
cd a committee to visit the board of
county commissioners with a view to
learning what can be done toward
putting the bridge across Belt creek
at this point in shape TO care for the
traffic until the new bridge is COM
pleted The result Of their interview
is given in another column.

Several actions having as their pur-
pose the placing of the city of Belt on
better business basis and sounder
financial footing were taken by the
council at last Thursday nights meet
ing. The first of these was the Great
ing of water works sinking fund for
the redemption of outstanding bonds
and meeting the interest thereon.
Though the first bonds were issued
several years ago and the latest more
than wo years ago, and the matter
had come up for discussion before
several organizations of the city
council, action creating sinking
fund, required by the state law, had
never before been taken. With the
passage of resolution No. 119 last
Thursday evening, it was finally ac-
complished
The resolution requires that the
treasurer set aside $4,000 on January
l, 1928, and each January first there
after for a period of Is years. The
bond issue of 1919 is redeemable in 10
years and at that time the sinking
A&iiQ otlUAiQ u3ft CASH Oii manu- 10 re-
deem nearly half of the issue. The
interest on the issue over the 20-year
period, which it runs, will amount to
$21 900, or $1,000 more than the prin-
cipal, and it is figured that at the end
of 18-year period, the fund will have
sufficient cash to meet the demand for
Two thousand dollars on the water
bond issue of 1918 is still unpaid, be-
coming due next year. Funds to meet
these bonds and the interest on them
are now on hand.
For some time past the cost of
power for the operation of the pumps
at the city pumping station has been
steadily increasing, the water over
seer's report showing that it cost $187
in August as against Sl94 in Septem-
ber. Also apparently, the amount Of
water pumped and consumed has been

Condemnation of
Buildings Recalls
Early Days in Belt

r. L. Mentrum, state fire marshal
paid his long delayed visit to Belt on
Tuesday and as q result it is probable
that four old buildings that have long
constituted menace to the safety OF
children who insist upon playing about
them, as well as being a fire menace,
viii within the next few weeks be
torn down and several more old land
marks disappear. The marshal, in
company with Fire Chief John Jaap,
viewed the buildings and agreed that
they should be removed. He appoint
ed Mr.. Jaap as deputy marshal with
authority to recommend the condem-
nation of the buildings, which viii be
done and the state marshal's office
notified. The state marshal viii then
notify the owners of the property,
giving them 80 days in which to re-
move the buildings. The owners fail
ing to do so, the marshaPs office will
bring condemnation suits in the courts
and upon receiving court authority,
will order the removal of the buildings
by the city, the cost being charged
up against the property
The four buildings condemned are
among the Oldest yet standing in Belt,
including the old Johnson & Nord-
quist saloon building on Castner
street, in the earlier days of the camp
the scene of much social activity, the
upper floor furnishing the only dance
hall available. 1t was in this hall also
that the local K. of p. lodge was or
ganized; the building just across the
street from the N. H. Browning ga
rage, operated in the early days by
George Lester as a saloon; the old
Harrington residence next to the Troy
laundry, which in its days of useful
ness stood on the outskirts of "the
Jungle" and where its owner was
found dead one day, her body carry
ing marks of violence, convincing citi-
zens that she had been murdered,
though no person was ever brought
to trial for the deed. This occurred in
about 1896, and the building has not
since been occupied, going into decay
until now only the shell is standing.
The fourth building to be condemned
is the OLD Warris residence on Third
avenue south, which is in little better
condition than is the old Harrington
house

Tony yFaIIer Boost
ing Silver Camp

Tony Faller, Neihart theatre man
and for years the only man in the sill
Yer camp to draw a pay check, was in
the city Monday on his way home
from short visit in Great Falls.
Tony has lived in the town at the foot
of Old Baldy for 20 years and is one
of those who in his confidence that
the future would bring great things to
the camp, stuck, and he believes now
that he is about to see this confidence
justified. Asked as to the present
progress of Neihart, he said:
"Neihart is on the boom again and
about 500 men are working about the
different mines and buildings. The
largest working of men is by the Sill
yer Dyke people, who purchased the
big dyke some time ago and after
thoroughly prospecting are erecting a
800 ton concentrator to handle the
output of the big mine on Carpenter
creek. Just now more than 200 men
are employed on the work and the con-
centrator is expected to be finished in
February. During the winter 400 or
more men are expected to be en-
ployed. Development work in the big
dyke Is going ahead, and when the
concentration is ready the ore will be-
gin to move lively None of the con-
centrates will be dumped in the creek
but will be taken around point of
the mountain and dumped where there
is room for millions of tons. do not
know what the dyke runs, but it is a
big proposition, the ore body being
lbs feet in places and test
ed below 400, so that the company
knows what it is doing.
"One hundred men are being em-
ployed in the Hartley mine, when the
men can be had, and three cars week
IF rich ore are being sent out. The
Hartley is one of the coming big
mines of the Neihart camp, and is
owned largely by Great Falls parties
Any number of small mines are being
worked in the district either on pros
oect or on lease, and the camp seems
n for run of permanent prosperity /
n a mining way"

L. B. Lockhart Arrested Friday
on Charge of Larceny as Bailee

some time, and that it was the insist
ence Of the cashier and assistant
cashier of the local bank, f. f. Daw-
son and M. T. Messelt, respectively
that the Juggling be discontinued and
their refusal to any longer accept or
ders from Lockhart in the conduct of
the affairs of the bank and the step
ping i'm of the state banking depart
ment, removing Lockhart from his Of
ficership and taking charge of his
stock in both institutions that brought
the matter to head. There is also
rumor current that it was over like
mismanagement by Lockhart that
John Sprangeler. former assistant
cashier of the State Bank Of Belt, and
later taken to Sand Coulee as cashier
Of the Miners State bank, resigned his
position some months ago.

L. B. Lockhart, who two years age
early next spring through the pur
chase of the Harry j. Skinner stock
secured the control Of the State Bahl
Of Belt and later purchased two blocks
of local stock, becoming president oi
that institution, and who is also vice
president of the Miners State bank al
Sand Coulee. was arrested early last
Friday morning in Great Falls by
Sheriff Bob Gordon on charges pre-
ferred by H. 4. Stewart, deputy state
bank examiner, accused of larceny as
bailee.
1t is alleged that Lockhart appro-
priated funds belonging to each Of the
banks of which he is an officer, the
amount of the alleged shortage being
$4,000 in each instance, and that he
acknowledged the misappropriation
following his arrest. Friday after
noon Lockhart was released from jail
on bonds posted by C. H. Merritt and
A. Marchetti-
Saturday afternoon Lockhart was
rearrested on another complaint sworn
TO by Deputy Bank Examiner Stewart
and issued out of Justice of the Peace
Wilson's court in Great Falls, on an
other count charging grand larceny as
bailee in the sum of s2,357, his bond
ON this count being fixed at the same
figure as in the first, $500.
Following the arrest of Lockhart
Friday the Sand CouIee institution
was closed by the deputy bank exam
Iner, but the local institution remains
opened, continuing. to do business
along restricted lines.
There liz no connection between the
-wo banks, other than Lockhart was
IN officer of each institution. In a
statement issued following his second
lrrest, Lockhart expressed confidence
hat II given an opportunity to adjust
he affairs Of the Sand Coulee institu-
ion the depositors could be paid dol
ar for dollar from its assets. He Of
erred as an explanation of his diffi-
ulty the statement that II was only
through an extreme effort to save the
land Coulee bank that there was any
juggling of the funds Of the State
tank Of Belt.
However. there is q report current
ere that the mishandlinR Of the funds
