Fraudulent Land Scrip.

Possibly as large an attempted fraud
as has been conserved in the west has
been going on for some time in the new
ly settling sections Of Dakota and west
ern Minnesota. Some time ago . firm in
st. Louis by the name Of Burt 1 Miller
sent circulars to land dealers throughout
this section offering scrip tor sale
at ninety cents. AZ the usual price is
from ninety-seven to ninety.nine cents,
dealers saw in it o chance to make some
money and invested. They first sent out
certificates Of deposit on what purported
to be the assistant treasurer OF the
United States at Santa Fe,
New Mexico. but as no such an institu-
tion exists the securities were at once
branded as forgeries. OF this latter kind
the Yankton land Office holds 5000
which were sent in. recognized Is spuri-
GUS and held to entrap the dealer.
These Santa Fe certificates of
deposit were sent in by Vale P. Thiel.
man of Parker, who, it is surmised, got
them from j. d. Cameron of Sioux Falls.
Cameron was the agent for Burr e. Mil
Ter for this section, but whether or not
he knew all about the scrip will be tested
in day or two.
Another Kind of scrip handled by Burt
& Miller is Louisiana scrip. By com.
parison it ls found that this scrip and
the Santa Fe deposit certificates are
signed by the same hand writ.
ing. Mckinney and soougal
bankers Of this city, sent for 5000 ol
Louisiana scrip some time ago, but on
looking at it were fully convinced that il
was spurious, and turned it over to Pros
ecuting Attorney Campbell. This scrir
was bought from Burt & Miller.
What j. D. Cameron's connection Will
Burt & Miller is in the sale Of thes,
forged certificates and fraudulent scril
is not known, but the grand jury is in
vestigating the affair. A United State
marshal will arrive from st. Louis to
night to arrest Cameron and tax
him to Missouri, and
is rumored on the streets this evening
that Cameron has been arrested on
warrant issued by Commissioner Congle
ton for his connection with those fraudu
lent securities. Thus far the court ha
done nothing with Cameron.
A special telegram from Pierre say
that the steamer Gen. Ruoker left ther
at noon yesterday for Yankton.

by o. s. District Attorney Bliss. A firm
under the name of Burt & Miller, occu-
pied room corner of 5th and Chestnut

gang must have realized flom 100000
to S500.00O in st. Louis. He says they

GREENE, County, March Ill notice
an articc in Your paper of the eth, in re-
gari the Hempiield cXt"ntiOn. The
estimate YOU make would save the mill
men of Wheeling SOL per day, or S2O3,-
H. for one year, in freight on the coke
they consume. Your estimate for build
ing Il narrow gauge road to the coke
reagous of Pennsylvania is S7OO,0JO
Now, if the mill men of Wheeling will
put the matter in shape to build
a road up Wheeling creek and down
Ten Mile to Waynrsburg, and then to
Councll>ville this would he the shortest
practical route for Wheeling to reach
the coke fields OF PENNSYLVANIA, the TO-
cal traffic would to- sufficient to make i
paving road besides the through freight.
II the citizens of Wheeling will take u
controlling interest in capital stock, |
am satisfied the people along the route
will take the balance. All that Is nc,.-
tSSary to connect Wheeling and the
coke regions of Pennsylvania, is for
those that il Will benefit in your city to
make the move, aud they will have thc
hearty cooperation uf the people
through the section Ot country along the
road.
Ii is evident that the day is not far
distant when there will be Il railroad
from Wheeling to ConncllSvilie direct.
Tie saving of your mill men would pay
for the road in three or four years, be-
sides bringing a large amount of gen
rrui trade to the business men of your
place. There is an extensive section of
country on each side of this route that
has no railroad facilities. VIII not the
said city show her hand? J.
