A STUPID FORGER.
He Works OFF Several Bogus Checks
but Profits Nothing.

An ordinary-looking man, with sharp,
black eyes, dark face and mOuStache and a
blue flannel shirt, stood in the door of cell
No. at the police station yesterday noon.
and in reply to question put to him by
the reporter as to what his name was. re-
piled Peter Berry" Berry was arrested
charged with being a fOrger and the victims
of his cleveTness identified HIM as the man
who had worked them. He did not look
like fOrger, but appeared like a man
whose highest ambition was to carry coal
up three flights of stairs. but it deyeloped
that he was no novice with a pen.
Yesterday morning Berry went into the
cigar store Of G. ii. Wallow. 113 East
Seventh street, and ordered bill of goods
amounting TO little more than 500. and
gave check on the First National bank
for Sl19.50, payable to the order of S.
Landon Il Co., telling the clerk TO get his
pay out of it and he would call for the
goods. He then went to Jones Il Phillips.

check cashed and found that it was a for
gerry, whereupon he notified the detectives.
and the man was arrested, after which his
other victims came to the surface What
seems peculiar is the fact that the man
never waited for change where there was
balance due him, and he didn't profit a cent
by his transactions. The checks were all
drawn on the First National bank. some of
them being blank GermanIa bank and Nor

of the work advertised unearthed the old.
threadbare ''burlap" scheme, for the work
ing of which q Schemer was 'fredn from
rooms on Fifth street but few weeks ago.
The scheme consists in getting working
girls seeking employment 10 pay SO for an
invention called the ROSS Novelty Rug
Machine" which, il is claimed, will pro-
duce better rugs than can be imported.
From circular that is distributed among
the applicants and on the outside the fol-
lowing is taken:
Since the invention of the Gross Novelty
Rug machine" we are able TO produce better
rugs than can be imported containing more
wool, aud their great demand by the trade
enables us 10 give employment TO hundreds
or ladies at their homes. You can make
rug in two or three hours with this machine
that with the hook would take a week. We
give you instructions. as many lessons as you
desire. The first lesson will take you about
twenty minutes, which will enable you to
take your machine and pattern home with
you and so to work. A little practice will
perfect you TO make the work smooth. You
furnish yourself with an outfit which costs
you SO, this is the only expense, and the out
III is yours which is necessary for the work.
The patterns come stamped, showing where
10 I'LL in the different colors, and the instruo-
tons include learning how to make animals,
landscapes, flowers, leaves, etc. On taking
deposit is required. We guarantee steady
work to all good workers and good pay ON
delivery Of same to US. Your outfit includes
rug machine, stamped pattern aud yarn TO
ill it, which is worth 81 TO SIS when finished.
The idea is to get the girls to pay for
their machines which are worth from so To
IS cents apiece and make deposits for the
material and when a stake is made to ''fiy"
the town. Detectives Kennaley and DAILY
called at the number designated in the ad
vertisement yesterday and found man and
woman occupying the rooms. The man
gave his name as Charles Ross and claimed
that the business was perfectly legitimate,
but he was taken before Capt Bresette
who told him that it was too old a scheme
to work here and warned him to drop the
business or he would be pulled" The
man agreed to look up other employment
and he was released. One lady who had
answered the advertisement, stated that
fourteen girls visited the place Tuesday
and made the deposits required.

KELLY CANNOT GO YET.
United states Court Judges Refuse
the Habeas Corpus.

the hhDeus corpus.
At o'clock yesterday morning the de-
cision was given i'm the habeas corpus case OF
Bulldog Kelly. Both Judge Brewer and
Judge Nelson acted together in this matter.
The decision was delivered by Judge
Brewer, who began by recitin g the his
tory of the case, which is familiar to the
readers of the GLOBE, about the arrest of
Kelly, his examination before Commits
soner Spencer, his discharge by the presl-
dent and the rearrest of the petitioner. The
court said that the claim was that indie
pendent OF treaty obligations no proceedings
could hold, and that the treaty
stipulations contemplate but one proceeding
and ends all further power 10 arrest The
court, as there was no such case as this re-
ported, was compelled TO examine the
treaty and ascertain its extent ana scope.
A general explanation of the treaty was
then made and the court declared that the
intent OF the treaty was that criminal
shall be surrendered il the crime alleged Is
proved. and one examination is no bar 10
second, or even more than the second one.
The court, however. would protect a pris-
oner from repeated examinations in
spired by private malice. but where
public justice demands il more than
one examination will be allowed.
The decision of the president that the testi-
mony is not sufficient merely leaves the
case open. 1t does not make another man
date from the president necessary. Re-
ferring TO the discharge. the court says the
language of it does not preclude second
examination. The mandate does not eX-
haust itself. In regard to the claim that
the proper person did not make the COM
plant, the court said any one authorized by
the government could make il, and besides.
that question was not before the court. The
court therefore decided that the petition
for habeas corpus must be refused. The
examination will be proceeded with at
10 o'clock this morning.

year it was not satisfactory it would take

Information Regarding N whole

During the Sioux massacre in 1868 the
atrocities committed in the Shattuck lake
country were especially cold blooded. 1t
was learned that the Indians in that district
were led in their depredations by negro,
whose name was never learned. When the
Sioux was brought under subsection the
renegade negro could not be found and his
whereabouts has ever since remained a
mystery. Early in the outbreak near Shat
tuck lake a school teacher by the name
of Miss Foster was murdered and
several of her pupils killed at the same
time. The crime. it was generally under
stood, was committe by the negro, and a
thorough search was made for him with
view to bringing him to justice. without
avail.
Yesterday the chief of police received a
letter from a man in Payette, Wis, stating
that he knew where the negro could be
found if he was wanted. The letter stated
that he was not in that town. but was
where he could be easily reached. The
letter was sent to Gov. Hubbard. who will
undoubtedly take action in the matter and
if possible bring the red handed fend within
