Bank fraud in Mexico ends with forged check and embezzlement
June reports reveal a bold swindle at the Bank of Jalisco in Guadalajara. Ernest Uriquijo used counterfeit letters of credit and a forged $61,000 check on the National Park Bank to siphon funds, aided by a likely confederate in the Federal telegraph office. The Banco Centrale flagged the forgery after Uriquijo vanished. In Oklahoma City, hunter pursuit follows the murder of Sheriff Garrison as armed pursuers close in on the suspect near Dover and Hitchcock. Articles of incorporation announce the Silver Bow Belle Mining Company with $1,000,000 capital, led by avai W. B. Pittman, P. C. Fisler, and F. Pittman.

Fairbanks May Lose Control Conflicts in Indiana Delegation
In Indianapolis on June 9 tension rises as Beveridge plots to gain control of the delegation. He seeks chairmanship and a resolutions committee seat, with Sills of Monticello slated for credentials. Three Beveridge supporters reportedly repented and informed Chairman Goodrich, leaving Beveridge short of a majority as anti Beveridge factions move to install Goodrich as chairman and Hemenway on the resolutions committee. Notice to stockholders announces Booth Mining Company meeting in Tonopah on June 1, 1908, to elect four directors. J W Stewart, Secretary.
