HEINZE SERVED. Butte, Aug. 17.-(Special.)-After dodging process servers, who since Tuesday sought to serve F. Augustus Heinze with the complaint in the action begun by Receiver Robert Lyons of the defunct Aetna bank, the former copper king was located this morning by Deputy Sheriff Fred Hugo, just as he was emerging from an office in the Silver Bow block. Heinze smiled when cornered. The papers charge him with criminal conspiracy and seek to recover a quarter of a million dollars in connection with the bank's failure.
