Freeb0urn Indicted on Federal
Charges Of Not Paying Tax

Attorney General H. j. Free.
bourn was at liberty under
S., 900 bond Tuesday afternoon
after being indicted Monday by a
federal grand jury at Great Falls
on charges of failure to pay the
government $3.50 in income tax.
He was taken by a deputy U. S.
marshal before U. S. commission
er ]. w. Johnston at Townsend
to deposit the bond.
Freebourn's bond was posted
by Secretary of State Sam W.
Mitchell; the mother of Lee Net
calf, an assistant attorney gener-
al. and Mrs. Carl Thompson, wife
of another assistant to Freecourn.
The government charged that
Freebourn failed to pay the $500
tax due on Sill 900 he allegedlv
received in 1927 from Joe K d..
Hart of the Hart Novelty CON-
pany of Everett. Washington.
The Hart Novelty company makes
and distributes slot machines.
U. S. attorneys said Freebourn
reported 81 500 on his income tax
return for 1887 as attorney s
fees but did not include the
Sl1. 900.

SLOT MACHINES BACK

The slot machines are back in
town again, of course IN differ.
ent form but still slot machine.
The locally owned machines
were forced out some weeks ago
when the racket owned ones were
taken out. Does this mean that
the locally owned ones may run
again, or will they haye to pay
the higher-ups for the privilege
of operating. Now that the at
torney general has been indicted
for non. payment of income tax
on the money received from the
slot machine racket, maybe the
protection may be raised, and
the local business man may re-
fuse to pay as formerly. What
will be the outcome?
Has the racketeer the right to
bar local machines because he
pays protection. or has a local
taxpayer any rights at all.
If they bar one they should
take them all out. The outcome
will be watched with interest
here.

stubbornly to give up its buried
treasure to engineers despite expen-

effort to develop the mine.

ore vein petered out, chung to the
idea that the faulted vein could
be rediscovered.
Some Of the nations leading min

command. But numerous shafts
failed to tap the ore body.
Rockwell believed he finally had
located the faulted ore vein. He
set to work last July with more

tap it.
The veteran mining engineer be-
