Toomey. CHECK Hie GETS HELENA VISITOR INTO TUWEIPI POLICE Chisholm, or Cavanaugh, no matter which name you choose, his actions were suspicious. J. H. ChU- holm is the name he gave the police, J.

H. Cavanaugh the name under which he registered at a local hotel. He did, however, stick to the same initials. Two local business firms became suspicious of his actions yesterday morning after he had cashed checks of $7.50 with each of them. The checks were of the counter variety and were drawn on the First National bank of Aberdeen, S.

D. The firms called the police and as he was being taken to the city hall by Officer Fred Gebhardt, he suddenly gave the officer a shove and was off on a high lope. Gebhardt took a taxi and Chief of Police Spurzem comandeored another and the chase was on. Chisholm should have provided himself with a map of the city, as be ran Into a cul-de-sac In the State street district and was easily caught. He was then taken to the county JalL On one check he had written Fifth and Ninth streets as an address.

As these two streets run parallel the address, which was supposed to be that of his aunt, did not tend to raise him In the esteem ot the police. A message was sent to the Aberdeen bank, but as It was Saturday afternoon the validity of the paper could not be established. The prisoner did remark, however, that he usually wrote checks, then notified his mother who made them good. He appears to be around 30 years of age.

The company was cited for having hauled passengers between Butte and Great Falls. MIKE GEARY, ONE OF FIRST PIONEERS, MARKS BIRTHDAY Michael IA.
