Lang's libel charge shocks Great Northern case
John F. Lang, a Butte machinist, was arrested on a libel warrant accusing him of falsely accusing W. Bordner, an engineer for the Great Northern, of stealing coal. He pleaded not guilty and awaits a preliminary hearing after being jailed on a $1,000 bond. Bordner called on counsel, after which Lang’s case intensified as details emerged from a false letter to the railway’s general superintendent.
