Sheriff Goes After Man Who Stole
Libby Cor-Possed Worthless Checks

Sheriff Baney left Tuesday for St.
Paul, Mimi, to bring back to Libby
for trial NJ r. Archer, who made
away with a car belonging to Lib
by Motors and who passed two or
three worthless checks in the city.
Archer and his woman were ar
rested in St. Paul upon information
broadcast by the sheriff's office in
Libby.
The man went under the name of
Archer while here but after he stole
the car investigations disclosed that
he has long criminal record and
that he has operated elsewhere I'M
der the names OF Charles r. Collins
and Raymond T. LaWton. He has
served time in various prisons, his
crimes ranging all the way from
petty larceny to forgery. One of
his forgerles had confined him in
the misunderstanding at Mcneil 3
island, and it was from there that
Sheriff Baney obtained most of the
information about the man.
Archer, or Lawton, showed up in
Libby some two weeks ago, follow
ing a car smashup out from town
a few miles. He had a broken arm.
His car was hauled into the Libby
Motors garage and he made ar
rangements to have it repaired al
though no work had been done on
it up to the time he made away with
the car belonging to the garage,
a 1887 Graham Supercharger sedan
which had been used as a demon
strator. He seemed in no hurry to
have the car repaired and hung
around the garage much Of the time,
seemingly pleasant young fellow
of some 80 to 80 years old. As is
frequently done under similar cir
cumstances, the garage allowed him
the use of car now and then to
run around town while his car was
waiting for repairs. One day one of
the garage employees drove the
Graham up to the garage and left it
at the curb. Soon thereafter Archer
evidently got into the car and he and
the woman that was posing here as
his wife left with it for the East.
That was on Monday, the 18th. The
theft of the car was reported to the
sheriff's office on the following We'd
nesday and on Friday, the 18th.
Archer was in custody in ST. Paul.
The theft of the car wasn't all
of Archer's escapades here, however,
Jesse Oylear of Libby Motors cashed
check for him drawn on Spo-
kane bank in the sum Of $500 1t
later proved to be worthless. Arch
er and his woman stopped at the
Hotel Libby and shortly before
leaving, Archer presented a check
for $50 in payment of about two
weeks room rent, asking for the
balance in cash. Landlord Gay re-
fused to advance any cash and told
Archer he would have to wait until
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1937-09-23

the check had gone through the
regular collection channels. This
check was also worthless. Word
comes back to Libby that on his
way East Archer had another car ac-
cident, at Sioux Falls, S. D., slight
ly damaging car driven by man
from Livingston, Mont. He gave the
man a check for $40 in payment
for the damages and signed Jesse
Oylear's name to it, forgery APP
parently being one of his weak
nesses.
Information from Pullman, Wash,
says that a woman by the name of
Viola Myhrie left there with Archer
few weeks ago. 1t also said she
had child and mother in Spokane.
This woman was brunette. The
woman with Archer in ST. Paul
gave the name of Helen Elnyra
Chadwick and in a wire to Sheriff
Baney is described as a blonde. II
is not known whether she is the
same one who was in Libby with
him, although the change in the
color of the hair is an easy thing
these days. The woman is not con-
nected with any crime and no war
rant has been issued for her arrest.
While here Archer and the woman
stated that he was employed by
the Libby Motors as a car sales
man. The Libby Motors people say
that statement was absolutely un-
true and that he was not employed
by them at any time

Libby Womon's
Club Celebrates
18th Anniversary

After the summer interlude the
Libby Woman's club met in regular
session in the community room on
Tuesday afternoon, with the presi-
dent, Mrs. r. w. LeDuc, presiding.
The club room was beautifully
decorated with late summer flowers
and autumn leaves.
Items of the business session in
cluded very interesting reports from
Mrs. A. T. Brock. Mrs. A. A. Wood,
Miss Inez Ratekin, Mrs. H. W. Red
field and Mrs. Gordon Cornell, who
were delegates to the district meet
ing held at Troy last week.
1t was decided to continue meeting
at the community room and to rent
or sell the building now belonging
to the Woman's club.
Mrs. LeDuc spoke most enthus-
iastically on the subject of a COM
munity swimming pool for Libby,
and the club voted to lend its sup
port to the building of such pool.
With the thought of celebrating
the 25th anniversary of the club,
which falls on the Oath of Septem-
Der, Mrs. A. c. Herbst had prepared
little dramatization of the march
Of events since the organization
in 1912. 1t was through the efforts
of Mrs. Herbst and Miss Rice, who
was a resident of Libby at that time
that the Libby Woman's club came
into being. Mrs. Herbst was the
first president
AS the past presidents of the
club numbering Is. took their
places on the stage in chronological
order, each told of the outstanding
achievements during her reign al
president. A tribute was paid tc
the four deceased past presidents
and Mrs. A. A. Wood formally pre-
sented to the club, the beautiful,
ebony gavel which had been pur.
chased as a fitting memorial to Mrs
r.. w. Srnithberger, who gave heI
] life in service to the club.
Y AT the close of the decentralization
Mrs. Walter Neils, past president
sang beautiful group of songs anc
large delicious birthday cake wa
cut and served with tea by the mem
bers of the present executive board
who were hostesses.
The Libby Womans club has &C
complished splendid achievement
in the past Is years and has don
many fine things for the commun
ity. Organized with a thought 0
Community Service as It's slogan
nonpartisan, it is club which ever,

and proud to belong to.

Finds Fortified
Stump Embedded
In Lovo Rock

An interesting story comes to the
]. Neils Lumber company here In
connection with its operations at
KIickitat, Wash The story has to
do with the finding Of a petrified
stump embedded in lava rock.
A crew at KIickitat was building
a grade for the logging railroad. AT
one place it was necessary to do con-
siderable rock blasting, the grade
being cut into the side of a hill.
After the blasting and when the
shovel had cleared away the loose
rock and earth, it disclosed on the
upper side Of the cut large stump
embedded in mass of lava rock.
The man in charge was much in
terested and he and others investi-
gated the find. This investigation
plainly showed that hot lava had
flowed down over the tree, charring
some of the exposed roots and also
charring the trunk of the tree. The
lava while apparently not hot
enough to completely consume the
tree, had enclosed 1t and the pro-
cesses of nature in the ages since
that time had petrified 1t.
An interested geologist visited the
site and also examined the find.
He said he believed the stump was
that of a redwood tree. If he is
correct, the find proves that redwood
timber 1t one time grew much
farther north than at present and
that the climate in those former
ages was much different than it is
now in this northern country.

BACH MUSIC PLAYED
AT COLLEGE OF MUSIC

THE program of music OF Johann
u Sebastian Bach played at the
College of Music Monday evening was
heard by a capacity audience, which
reacted with enthusiasm to the Sched-
uled works William Holden played
the "Toccata in D Major" with a
certain innate dignity of style well
suited to the composers intention,
though with regard for the humor of
the closing section, fugue with dou-
bic subject in gigue tempo. The
"Well-Tempered Clavichord" was rep
resented by three excerpts, the "E
Flat Minor Prelude and Fugue" being
given an intelligent reading by the
young blind pianist, Melvin Creamer,
and the &c Minor and &C Sharp
Major" were played by Lucia Perez
who is in Washington for the season,
following music studies begun in her
home in Quito, Ecuador Miss Perez
has facility and taste in her Bach in
terpretations.
The violin works of Bach include
q Sonata in A Major" of great
bCduOyy O11C vi a oCO Va Ola I4eANS
Powell and Lyman McCrary were sat-
isfying in their ensemble, and the
cantabile of the slow movement was
particularly beautiful under Miss
Powell's bow.
A climax was arrived at in the
"Concerto for Three Pianos," this ar
rangement having been made by
Harold Bauer from the original work
for three harpsichords and string or
chestra. 1t was performed by Will
liam Holden, Elizabeth King and
Fanny Amstutz Roberts, who were
incisive in their announcements of
the thematic matter, the involved
cross rhythms and complexity of
counterpointS all being given perspec-
tive, and nuances of tonal beauty
were in constant control, avoiding an
Interpretation Of sentimentality. The
impression of freshness and vigor of
this rarely heard work is a matter OF
amazement especially in view of the
sophistication of many works nearer
our contemporaries.
