Kelvin To Have Motion
Picture Show Very Sooa

"Kevin is to have a real NOV
ing picture show, and that very
soon.' This is the statement
that was made to the Review
yesterday afternoon by George
Brewerton, proprietor of t h e
Orpheum Theatre at Shelby. Mr..
Brewerton has already made
plans for a building and will be
located in 4tr.- town inside Of
three weeks or q month and will
be showing to the public the
same high class pictures that
they are showing at Shelby and
Sunburst.
This will make the kiddies
laugh, and not only the kiddies
but the grown-ups will be happy
also, for Kevin has never had an
amusement such as this, and it
will give US a place to spend cur
leisure hours.
Kevin will be on the same cir
cult as Shelby and Sunburst, the
Beaverton Brothers operating
show houses at both Of these
places will make US in line to re-
ceive the same high class shows
that both of these cities are en-
joying. Mr.. Beaverton says that
he will move the fixtures here
from the old Orpheum Theatre
at Shelby and will do his best to
please the public in every way
[ h r e e cheers for Brewert( n
Brothers, they like the rest, can
see that Kevin is going to be the
real garden spot Of the big Kew
IN Oil Field.

He presented a counter check on the
bank for $3.50, together with a de
posit slip filled in for $20.60. He also
presented a second deposit slip fol
S3, proffering with it So in currency
He told the teller that he wanted tc
deposit the two items, that is, SO in
cash and $20.60 out Of the check, To
the credit of his wife, explaining that
he had forgotten to bring her book
but would return with it later. Ills
cash and the check were avcep.ea,
totaling $3.50. From this sum IFS
wife's supposed account was credited
with $3.50, the total of the two de-
posit slips, and he was given s55 cash
in change.
After the man left the bank the
teller became suspicious due to his
prolonged failure to return as he had
promised with his wife's deposit book.
On investigation the check he had
left was found to be worthless. The
bank communicated with the local
detective Office of the association,
giving a complete description of the
man.
The Alarm Is Given
Later that same day the detective
office received another report from a
second bank that 1t had been similarly
defrauded by a man answering the
description given by the first bank.
Steps were at once taken to set a
trap for him should he attempt fur
ther operations. All surrounding
banks were warned that he was in
the vicinity and a complete descrip
ton was given them Of his appearance
and Of his mode of operating. They
were advised to have their tellers and
guards on the lookout and to COM
municate at once by telephone with
the detective office IN case anyone ap-
peared in their lobbies who seemed
to answer to the description of the
man wanted They were also in

Menfana- Giant Spur

General Road Master Eastman
is here this week supervising the
construction Of the spur that is

the company to handle fuel oil
and distilates at faster speed

barring all trouble. that this

| pocket. Assigns of his putting up fight,
the detective grappled with him and
called to his two associates at the
doors to arrest the other man whom
| he had noticed as he entered. After
a short struggle the two men were
overpowered. When the larger of the
two was searched a torn check was
found in his pocket, made out in the
same writing as the two that had
been successfully passed the day be-
fore. A number of similar checks
all prepared for use, were also found
on his confederate. When confronted
by the tellers of the banks who had
been victimized the day before, the
leader was readily identified The
two prisoners were hopelessly en-
shared, admitted their guilt and in
their hotel rooms were found a large
number of checks, deposit slips and
pass books of banks in various cities
The Trap Sprung Again
Similar quick action of the bank
crook trap in Boston terminated the
career of another check forger who
had been operating successfully in the
New England states. The banks which
he had victimized notified the Amer
ican Bankers Association with the re
suit that all other banks in the terri
tory were warned against him and
were put on guard. Therefore, when
he walked into Boston bank to con-
tinue his operations he walked into o
trap as he was Immediately recog
nzed and nabbed by the officers there.
These are only two instances OF
many that have recently taken place
in various parts of the country. Some
of these arrests have brought into the
tolls of the authorities some of the
slickest operators in this line in the
and from them have been
learned the details Of the way bank
crooks operate, placing in the hands
Of the detective department the
means to put banks on guard against
further depredations.

hole will be started and the drill
will be sunk to 1000 feet, if nee

With the deep test to be drill

about determinations of great
consequence during the coming
season. The Mutual has announc-
ed that it will drill at least 5000
feet, and as much deeper as may
be necessary to carry hole thru
the lime into the Devonian.
The letting of the Potlatch
contract followed visit to the
Kevin field of j. P. Weyerhaeus-

from Great Falls where he has

six weeks. While away Bill sign

wells, and began the first hole on
the Johnson lease in 18-34-1w
yesterday. he will drill one on
the Morton lease in 13-34-2w
and the third one is wild cat

Chinook.
Mr.. Elliott informs us that he
will complete all three of these
wells as soon as possible, and
chat means quick, for when it
comes to putting down the wells.
Bill is there and over. 1t sure
sounds good to us to see the Ke-

the boilers, and we believe that
before many months have passed
that the Kevin field will be COW
cred with oil derricks.

enough that the Illinois Pipe Line

however, and the pipeline was
taken up. Many oil men believe
that a good pool will be found on

expected that there will be some

New Era Oil & Gas
Makes Cunning Pres.

AS announced in the last issue
of the Review, the annual meet
ing Of the New Era Oil & Gas
company was held in Spokane
last week. The following new
officers named are as follows:
DR.. j. M. Cunning, president;
w. ]. Campbell, secretary-treas-
urer. The board of directors
consist of: H. G. Frict, l.. Ori-
ard, j. w. Beck, VIM. Voss, Mrs.
Mary Allison and C. w. Carlson.
The company have laid extern
sive plans for the season, and
among them are that they will
drill another we'll at an early date
close to their gas producer. They
will also lay new gas mains into
Kevin and will do everything in
their power to give first class
service to the users of gas for
fuel and lighting purposes.
The Review knows nothing Of
the personnel of the directors,
except DR.. Cunning, president,
and L. Oriard, both of these gen.
tlemen we have had the pleasure
to meet, and while that we were
also acquainted with Mr.. P. w.
Dueck, the retiring president,
we feel that the New Era has in
DR.. Cunning, a man that will
shove things forward, and give
us the same square deal that Mr..
Dueck has done while filling his
term of office.

considerable development work
will be done in the vicinity of the
Shoshone and McDonald-Sweet-

evidenced by the fact that three
additional wells will be put down
in that district early this spring.
Friday, the Regal Oil company
filed incorporation papers with
the clerk and recorder of Cascade
county, the capital stock being
fixed at 100000.
James w. Speer of Great Falls
is president Of the new company,
G. M. McCutcheon, who has been
identified with oil development
in Montana for several years, is
vice president and A. f. Mavity
is secretary treasurer. He has
been for a number Of years iden-
titled with the oil fields Of Mon
tana and Wyoming.
The Regal Oil company has
leased 80 acres, n-se-5 "a 2 west,
which is half a mile west of the
Shoshone wells, about the same
distance from the Mcdonald
Sweetgrass wells in the same di-
rection, and about a mile north
Of the Schwartz wells. The pro-
perty was leased'from Guy Craig,
who has taken q contract to drill
a well early this summer. 1t is
known as tbe old sweeney ranch
and the new conpany's lease
calls for so per cent of the oil.
The California Oil company has
a lease on an adjoining 100 acres
and the Sunburst interests also
own adjoining acreage. The 81

this lease April |, according to
Mr. McCutcheon. who stated
that a turnkey contract had been
let to Beckett Brothers, W h 0
were moving arig and equipment
to the property this week.
The third we'll to be drilled in
that vicinity is that Of the Jack
Decker syndicate, se-se 4-34-2 W,
and operations are expected to
start within a short time.
