SECTION HAND RE-
LEVIED OF $1,000

Chinook, Aug. 26.-The time
worn tin box confidence game was
worked on Joe Inic, Austrian sec
ton hand at Lehman, nine miles
west of Chinook, by three bunco
artists who left hurriedly with ST.
600 of his money. Notice has been
sent out to sheriffs' offices over
the state, but the men have not
yet been apprehended.
The confidence game was similar
to the one used on an elderly
Great Falls couple last winter, as
nearly as Sheriff G. w. Fleming
could learn. The victim was so
dazed when he learned this morn
ing his savings had been stolen
that he could not give the sheriff
coherent story of what took
place at the time of the swindle.
He said one of the men was an
American, who remained in the car
while the others carried on their
business with him. The two 9TH
ers were foreigners, one of whom
spoke the victims language and
conducted most of the negotiations
The men induced Inic to come
to Chinook and withdraw from q
local bank all his savings, amount
ing to $1,000. He asked at the
bank for $500 and 500 bills, but
these were mot on hand at the
time and the bank offered to wire
for the larger denominations if hi
would return the next day. He
, came to the bank Thursday morn
ing and secured the currency, which
he placed in a tin box supplied b!
the confidence men, and in which
!, they said they had placed a similar
amount.
After securing the money from
the bank, the three bunco men ant
| their victim drove to Glasgow an,
on arrival there the tin box wa
turned over to Inic with instruc
| tions to take it home with hin
! and hold it until the men returned
This morning when he opene,
: the box he found nothing but
r comic paper and two 81 bills. HI
e Immediately notified Sheriff Elem
ing of the loss and a hunt for tn
: men was begun. Inic, a bachelo
about 65 years of age, has bee
n employed as a section hand by tn
o Great Northern at Lehman for 1
years.

Montana Dakota Power Company
Obtaining Easements for 200
Mile Pipe Line.

Glendive, Aug. 27.-Glendive
contemplates extensive construc-
ton In streets and alleys and it is
believed that several petitions will
soon be presented to the city coun-
Gil for paving business section
streets and alleys and for resur-
facing either with gravel or as.
phalt, residential district streets.
The Montana-Dakota Power Co.
has about completed the work of
acquiring easements on its propos-
ed Cabin Creek-Baker, N. d. pipe
line and it is believed that actual
construction of this pipe line, which
will be over 200 miles in length,
will commence early in the spring.
Inasmuch as the western terminus
of this line will be the Glendive-
Baker anticline, the large part of
the construction operations will be
carried on through this point.
Closely following the natural gas
development contemplated by the
Montana-Dakota Power Co., into
North Dakota will be the Williston
extension. The company has an
nounced its intention in the event
it is successful in acquiring the
franchise for electric power anC
light at Williston, of extending its
natural gas survey from Glendivt
down the Yellowstone valley thru
the towns of Stipek, Intake, Sa,
age, Crane, Sidney, Fairview, Fl
Union to Williston.
The construction of this line, al
well as the Bismarck pipe line vii
mean the employment of many la
borers, the most of whom vii
make Glendive their headquarter
during the construction period.
1, In addition to the development
of natural gas industry the Mon
tana-Dakota Power Co., has re
Gently completed high tension e
! lectrical transmission line fror
Glendive to Miles City, thereb
connecting up two large gas-powe
electricity generating plants an
/ also serving the town of Terry.
