JIM THE PENMAN
SMOOTH CHECK WRITER WHO
VICTIMIZED NUMBER OF
HELENA PEOPLE
Name is Either Barton or Bretzer,
and Was British Aviator During
the War; Also Movie Actor; Ar
rested by the Police of Denver.
Richard R. Barton, alias Bretzer,
who nicked Dr. B. C. Brooke, Dr. W.
R. Hopkins, the Placer hotel, a wo
man clerk —and probably other citi
zens of Helena —on forged checks
aggregating 11500 last spring, is in
stir in Denver, charged with high
crimes and misdemeanors, ranging
from plain stick-up to robbery of mil
lionaires in their homes.
Charged With Forgery Here
Barton is wanted also in Helena
and Butte. In Helena he stands
charged with forgery. An informa
tion will be filed against him in the
district court, and application will
be made to Governor J. M. Dixon
for requisition papers, according to
Hugh R. Adair, deputy county at
torney. A formal complaint has
been standing in a local justice of
the peace court since last May, upon
which a warrant for arrest was is
sued.
He Is Much in Demand
However, if Barton is put through
the jumps for everything he is
charged with in Denver, he probably
will have to go through two or three
reincarnations before the authorities
in Lewis and Clark and Silver Bow
counties, Montana, can get their
clutches on him. Besides, Kansas
City has a prior claim for jewelry
robbery and bail-jumping.
A Smooth Guy
Barton, going under the names of
Bretzer and Bretzen, when in Helena
last spring, represented himself as a
traveling agent of the Magnus com
pany of Omaha, manufacturers of X
ray machines. He was a smooth sort
of a duck, and was even able to per
suade a Helena woman, a clerk in
a Main street store, to loan him a
considerable sum of money on the
plea of friendship existing. As she
said afterward, she stripped her
bank account of money she had sav
ed up for her annual vacation trip,
which she was not going to be able
to make under the circumstances.
Can Wag Tied to Him
It appeared at the time that Bar
ton once had been a bona-fide sales
man of the Omaha company. His
story to his victims, it was said at.
the time, was that be was establish
ing a branch office of the company
in Butte, and the drafts the Helena
people cashed for him, he said, were
for the purpose of meeting the ini
tial expenses In that connection.
When the drafts were returned dis
honored, the fact became known that
the can had been tied by the com
pany to Barton a short time pre
viously.
“The Gentleman Burglar”
According to a report in a Denver
newspaper. Barton has confessed to
a long series of crimes committed in
that city, notably holding up Mr. and
Mrs. James Owen in their fashion
able home in the Capitol Hill district.
He has confessed also to burglary
of the home of Ralph W. Smith, an
other prominent family, getting away
with jewels and clothing valued at
|4OO.
The Denver police and police re
porters appear to think that Barton
Is quite a "catch,” and to increase
the power of the calcium rays, they
have dubbed him "the gentleman
burglar.”
Says Was a British Flyer
Barton claims to have been a
captain in the British flying corps,
and also to have been connected with
the movies in the capacity of direc
tor.

PUT TEDDY’S FACE
ON 5-CENT STAMP
NEW POSTAGE ISSUE WILL IN
CLUDE PORTRAITS OF HAYES
AND CLEVELAND
Latest Series to Have 81 Values,
Ranging from Penny Variety up to
Five Dollars; Complete Set Worth
$10.32; Great Rush Will be Made
by Collectors for First Stamps.
With the announcement a week
ago that the United States had pre
pared a new set of postage stamps, of
which two values will be placed on
sale this month, interest in the cheap
new Europe issues, which have been
appearing almost at weekly inter
vals for the past three years, has
fallen off. Every collector, from the
youngest school boy to those sena
tors of the United States who rank
high in philatelic circles, will be eag
er to get copies from the earliest
sheets put on sale for, as frequently
happens, minor changes in color, de
sign or perforations might be made
in the near future and, in that case,
the first impressions would imme
diately be enhanced in value.
The collecting of United States
stamps, beginning with the first gov
ernment Issue in 1847, has been pur
sued so keenly here and abroad that
The bringing out of a new set is an
event of more than ordinary inter
est. Thousands of the new stamps
will be quickly purchased, never to be
used, and conservative estimates by
dealers last week Indicated that the
post office department will profit
financially by several hundreds of
thousands of dollars in the sale of
stamps which will never be redeemed
or ever used for postage.
The new set will be the largest in
number ever issued in this country
for letter postage. The series will
contain 21 stamps, ranging in value
from 1 cent to $5, and the face value
of the complete set will be $10.32.
Of the ten presidents whose portraits
will appear on different denomina
tions, three will be seen on United
States stamps for the first time,
Roosevelt on the 5 cent stamp, Hayes
on the 11 cent variety and Cleveland
on the 12 cent value.
On Sale on Roosevelt's Anniversary
The 5 and 11 cent stamps are an
nounced for sale this month, Oct. 27
being the first day when the Roose
velt stamps may be purchased, that
being the anniversary of his birth.
The portrait stamps will end with
the 12 cent Cleveland stamps. The
nine higher values, beginning with
14 cents, will contain various na
tional scenes and allegorical designs.
On the 14 cent will be a picture of
the American Indian; the 15 cent
will have a view of the Statue of
Liberty; 20 cent, Yosemite; 25 cent,
Niagara; 30 cent, Buffalo; 50 cent,
the Arlington amphitheater and tomb
of the unknown soldier; sl, Lincoln
Memorial at Washington; $2, the
Capitol at Washington; and $5,
American. The unknown soldier
stamp will be put on sale Nov. 11,
commemorating the fourth anniver
sary of the armistice.
Franklin, the nation’s first post
master general, whose portrait was
placed on the 1 cent stamp in 1851
and remained continuously on that
denomination until 1912, has prop
erly been restored to his old posi
tion, with Washington on the 2 cent
stamp where he has been for many
years. The other portraits are: 3
cent, Lincoln; 4 cent, Martha Wash
ington; 5 cent, Roosevelt; 6 cent,
Garfield; 7 cent, McKinley; 8 cent.
Grant; 9 cent, Jefferson; 10 cent,
Monroe; 11 cent, Hayes and 12 cent,
Cleveland.
Martha Washington's Portrait
Martha Washington is the only
noteworthy woman of our national
history whose portrait has ever ap
peared on a stamp. Her face graced
the very artistic 1902 issue on the
8-cent value, but she disappeared
from sight so far as letter postage
is concerned in 1908 when the two
portrait designs of Franklin and
Washington were adopted. No other
portraits have been used on any of
our regular Issues since that year,
and, although the designs are neat,
their sameness has made the United
States series somewhat monotonous.
Portraits of Lincoln ■ and Seward
were placed on the commemorative
issues of 1909, but they were only in
use for a comparatively short time,
the former being on the 2-cent stamp
Issued in the centennial year of his
birth and Seward on the 2-cent stamp
commemorative of the Alaska-Yukon
Exhibition.
Uniform rates of postage were
first provided for by the United
States government In 1845, bnt It
was two years later before the first
official stamp issue was made. In
the Intervening years about a dosen
postmasters In as many cities and
towns issued stamps on their own
account, and most of these are now
extremely rare. Arthur Hind, the
textile manufacturer of Utica, paid,
at the Ferrari sale early in the year,
about 212,000 for the only known
copy of the Boscawen (N.H.) post
master stamp.
The first government Issue con
tained only two values, 6 cents, with
the portrait of Franklin, and 10 cents
with the head of Washington. While
not rare they have been advancing
rapidly In value, the 6 cent being
worth from IS to |lO and the 10
cent from 125 to |4O. In ISSI the
next issue appeared, being extended
through 1858 to eight values, from
1 to 90 cents. Jefferson’s portrait
was placed on the 5-cent value, while
the others were divided between
Franklin and Washington.

Montana’s tubercular ex-service
men should be cared for at the U. 8.
Veterans' bureau hospital at Fort
Harrison, where ample provision is
made for their treatment, Instead of
being sent to out-of-state hospitals,
in the opinion of the executive board
of the Montana Tuberculosis asso
ciation, which met recently at the
Placer hotel, Helena.
Starts Campaign
Resolutions to this effect will be
sent to every club and organization
in Montana, requesting them in turn
to send resolutions to Montana’s re
presentatives in congress asking
them to use their influence with the
U. 8. Veterans’ bureau to see that
Montana veterans are cared for in
their own state.
The resolutions were adopted fol
lowing a discussion of the cases of
numbers of Montana boys who were
reported sent to out-of-state hospi
tals where they were discontented
and would not remain. These boys,
who were satisfied and well cared
for at Fort Harrison, are now get
ting no care whatever, it was said.
Dr. O. M. Lanstrum presided at the
meeting in the absence of President
Harry R. Cunningham.
Miss Whitney Attends
Miss Jessamine Whitney of New
York, chief statistician of the Na
tional Tuberculosis sanatorium,
was present and talked on the tu
berculosis work that is being done
throughout the country. She said
the cutting of 1 the death rate from
tuberculosis in half in the 18 years
of organized health work was large
ly the result of the combined efforts
of the association in organizing san
atoria, open-air schools, clinics and
in employing public health nurses,
and doing general educational health
work.
Miss Whitney visited the hospital
at Fort Harrison in the afternoon,
and in the morning she held a con
sultation with Director Henry of the
rehabilitation section for the state
educational board.
The great need at the majority of
the sanatoria throughout the coun
try, according to Miss Whitney and'
Mr. Henry, is for workshops where
the patients may, under medical su
pervision, be taught trades that will
be suitable for them when they have
been discharged from the sanator
ium. The patients would work for
a few hours a day, and this “hard
ening process” would enable them to
compete with the average workman
on leaving the sanatorium. As con
ditions now are, the first year after
a. patient’s discharge is the most dif
ficult, but if workshops were run In
connection with the medical treat
ment, the patients would gradually
be able to resume their work.
On Trip Through West
Miss Whitney, who has been as
sisting in tuberculosis work in Wy
oming, Idaho and Utah, left for Pop
lar, where she addressed a district
meeting of the Federation of Wom
en’s clubs.

BECAUSE—It controls a producing well, proving its property;
[lt controls 80 acres of Cat (Creek land, proven to the second sands;
It controls oil rights to 3,000 acres in the Black Butte oil district;
It controls royalties on 15 producing wells in Cat Creek;
It controls the oil rights on a 10,000-acre farm;
It is pushing development work on its various properties.
In my judgment Golden West stock is the
best of the Cat Creek offerings. Here follow my
reasons: There are only three independent oil
companies, after the Standard Oil, holding any
considerable acreage in the inside proven acre
age of Cat Creek. They are the Homestake, 56
Petroleum and Golden West. The Homestake,
with less than SIOO,OOO two years ago, has de
veloped a property worth perhaps $3,000,000.
Aside from its single producing well, which
has tapped the rich second sands and is pro
ducing 300 barrels of oil per day, the inside acre
age of the Golden West is undeveloped. But
this well proves the property. It also proves
the existence of the rich second sands under the
Golden West holdings, and demonstrates, in my
judgment, that Golden West will become another
big producer with the completion of additional
wells. The character of its oil is most encour
aging. While the market price of Cat Creek

Homestake is earning well over 150 per cent, and
its stock is selling at two and one-half times
flotation price. 56 Petrelteun has paid 300 per
cent in dividends to its stockholders since it was
organized about two years ago. Its units have
gone beyond reach of the investor, $250 shares

selling at $2.00, eighty cents over the ordinary

wells, as we have every reason to hope for, and
each of these wells should prove a 300 barrel
producer? That would be 3,000 barrels of oil

$6,000 per day, or SIBO,OOO per month, or well
