Pincus Seizes Show Then Bond Clears Path
Adolph Pincus, a Butte capitalist, moved on the Floto shows under an attachment for $8. The bond by First National Bank released the claim. A later American Amusement Co suit against Constable Holland seeks possession and $100 damages. The tale ties back to Otto Floto once arrested for illegal voting and the bondsmen, including Pincus, who later paid $350 after Floto fled to Denver.
