Got Him.

DETROIT, Mich, March 1.-Two years ago
Medad V. Miller, alias N. M. Vinton, was a
farmer in Huron, D. T. He was supposed to
be wealthy and had good farm. In view of
these facts he had no difficulty in borrowing
money. At the Union bank in his town he
obtained 81 500 on chattel mortgage on cat
tie he said he owned and at another bank he
got 81 200 by similar trapsaction. Then he
left for California, followed by ]. W. Camp
bell, one of the officers of the Union bank.
Miller learned that Campbell was on his track
and fed to Australia. The bank tracked his
movements through Australia, the Mediter-
ranean countries, the Holy Land and France,
until he reached England, where they lost
sight of him. A few weeks ago the bank re-
ceived an anonymous letter from this city
saying that the man they wanted was here
They notified Mr.. Campbell and yesterday he
arrived. Then detectives arrested Vinton
and took him to the central station, where he
was confronted by the Dakota bank officer,
who Immediately recognized him. Miller
says he is tired Of wandering about and made
no attempt to deny his identity. He says he
is perfectly willing to go back to Dakota. He
is 80 years old, an accomplished linguist, and
otherwise is finely educated man. He says
he got money enough to see the world and is
now ready to stand his chances of being con-
victed on the charge of swindling.

wheat and corn, the stock in the farmers
hands, the proportion of merchantable corn
and the average prices, respectively, of mer-
charitable and understandable. Corn is the

THE SUGAR TRUST.
The investigation into the sugar trust was
continued by the house committee this morn
ing. H. A. Havenmeyer, Of New York, was
on the stand. Nothing decidedly new was
developed in regard to the trust, but the in
vestigation assumed somewhat the nature OF
a tariff hearing when the witness stated that
the sugar industry could not exist without
protection because Of the higher prices paid
American labor. The sugar refners were
Disseminated against under thepressnt tariff,
the nd velorum duty being greater on raw
than on refined sugar. The Mills bill made
things even worse. The witness said he was
Disseminated against in the matter of draw
back when the treasury department on No
vember 1, 1886, fixed the rate at $3.50. The
drawback on sugar should be fixed by con-
gress and not by a secretary Of the treasury,
who. might be an able man and might not.

There are now eight Indians in the

table to drunkenness. All are stalwart
young men who while under the Dhue nee
OF liquor beat their women or each other
and were liable. upon the highest provo
cation, to attack white people. The
county is pat to considerable expense in
arresting. prosecuting, bringing them 10
jail aud feeding them. They do not
manufacture liquor and the laws make it
felony to sell it to them. Yet the.
seem to have no difficulty in getting it,
and it 10 seldom indeed that evid. nee
sufficient to convict the seller can be pre-
cured.
Under theae circumstances it might
be advisable for the Board of County
Commissioners to offer standing re.
ward for the arrest aud conviction OF
persons selling whisky to Indians. 1t
would be cheaper Tor the county to pay
$50 for such conviction than to have the
Jail filled with indians.
