BLACKMAIL ATTEMPTED
ON WOLF POINT LAWYER

The ugly hand of crime comes
more clearly into evidence in our
fair young city. 1t has not reached
the kidnapping stage as yet, how
ever, the three middle letters be-
ing missing. But a plain attempt
at blackmail has seemingly been
made on the honored and dignified
secretary of the Commercial club
of Wolf Point. During his long res
idence in this city Judge Charles
Gordon, former law partner of Gov
ernor j. e. Erickson, has led an
exemplary existence. He is court
eous, accommodating, always at his
post of duty ready to lend money
to any in need, or sit as justice in
any sort of case. He is especially
popular with the fair sex. But one
has been so unkind as to seek to
penetrate the veil of his past. None
but some low william plotting for
a slice of the Judges money.
One day this week, after a short
absence from his office, the Judge
returned to find on his desk the
mysterious note here reproduced,

BOLD ROBBERY
ON MAIN STREET
MRS. JULIA FLYNN'S LIVING
ROOMS RANSACKED IN
HER ABSENCE

When Mrs. Julia Flynn returned
from a ride with friends Wednes-
day evening and entered her ap-
artment on the second floor of her
building on Main street, she found
that sneak thieves had been there
during her absence and stolen all
the clothing and other articles she
had kept in her clothes closet.
Among the missing things were
a fur coat, a black silk coat, sew
eral dresses, hats, undergarments,
some aprons and two boxes of fine
china that were packed and not in
use. The thieves evidently entered
by the front door off the sidewalk
because the read door was locked
and could be opened only from the
inside. The loot was carried out
the back door and down stairs. One
dress was dropped on the stairs.
There must have been a car in the
alley into which the stolen arti-
cles were put.
Mrs. Flynn's hall door was forced
open. Clothing was what was want
ed and nothing else vas taken
from the rooms, except the dishes.
Mrs. Flynn returned about 9:45
to her rooms where she lives alone.
Why she should be singled out for
the victim of such a cowardly act
is past understanding. 1t looks like
the work of some one who knew
her and watched their chance-a
local job.
