I How a Swindle T7as Attempted on Montgomery Banks. , Montgomery Advertiser, Jan. 2. - -- ,.r - About the 23d or 24th of December the First National Bank and the Mer chants and Planters " Bank of th w city, each received a letter having all the appearance of being genumerom the Stock Growers National Bank, of Cheyenne, .Wyoming Territory. The letters were forthe purpose of indenti fying George Sanders, to whom.it al leged the -cashier of - the Cheyenne bank bad issued his check jno. 3,142 on the Fourth National Bank,, of New York, for $6,000, and requested m be nail oi ur. oanuers, iuo uauai courte sies. Upon the receipt- of the letter by the First National Bank Mr, Chambers, the cashier, replied ac knowledgmg to the bank at Cheyenne. This letter of i Mr; Chambers to the Cheyenne bank was the first intima tion its officers had of Mr. Sanders, and the letter purporting to be writs ten - ny tnem, ana a aispatcn was promptly sent - here that thev ! had written no such letter and had issued no such check. The arrest of 8an dersyif he presented himselfi' was'i:e questea. similar letters; it is eviv dent,: from the dispatches in yestei day's Advertiser, were sent to otner banks. It has not been ascertained tofwhat exteht'Sahders was 'successful in his schemes. Letters or laentin- cation were sent to many points and he no doubt expected in due time to present himself and reap the rewards of his rascality. If it had not been for the letter of Mr. Chambers to the Cheyenne bank, he might have swin died; several banks. JtLe has never been here and consequently the sur mise that a Montgomery hank had been victimized is. incorrect. .. Some bank, however has been caught; for $6,000, and the probabilities are that lt was a Texas bank, as Mr. Cham bers yesterday received a telegram from Texas warning, him against any check purchased by Sanders from the, Cheyenne - bank, as he was a forger. . .

Five years v ago, when she was ; in; Helena, Montana, theowner of anewly discovered mine was captivated by her acting, and asked the ; privilege of naming jhis mine after i her.
