SEN. GREENING ARRESTED FOR PERJURY Hardin.-On a charge of perjury, State Senator C. W.

A complaint also was filed in justice court and a warrant issued for Henry Skaug, former cashier, who recently has been a deputv state examiner. All three of these men are charged with perjury alleged to have been committed when they swore to their true worth in connection with a surey bond given by them to the county treasurer of Big Horn county as security to the county for the money deposited from time to time by the county treasurer in the Hardin State bank. In addition to these charges there is a charge of grand larcenv placed against Mr. Rarey by J. R. Boyd of Wyola in the sum of $1,500 alleged to have been taken on September 20, 1922. Senator Greening was arrested at Roundup where he is receiver of the First National bank of that city, and gave bond to appear in district court. Rarey was located at Columbus, Ohio, (where he has been employed in a bank the past year) through the efforts of Sheriff Gilmore, who wired the chief of police to put him under arrest. He refused to return to Montana without requisition papers and County Attorney Haven went to Helena, where the necessary papers were issued by Governor Dixon. On his return to Hardin, County Attorney Haven turned the papers over to Undersheriff John H. Kifer. who left on the sâme train for the east. It is expected that he will return with Rarey this week.
