Cunning People Come to GrieT IN
Missouri.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 4.-The princi-
pals in an extraordinary pension fraud
case were arrested in different parts of
the state yesterday. Jacob Little, a
Union soldier, died in Andersonville
prison, and in 1871 his widow was
awarded pension of s36 a month. She
married man named Barnes and died
in 1872. Barnes took his wife's pension
papers and came to Pettis county, Mo-,
where he married widow named ROg-
erS. He induced her to impersOnate
the deceased Mrs. Little, which she did
successfully and drew the pension.
Barnes died in 1877, and the widow took
up with man named Ritz, who was
soon in possession of the pension
story. She wanted to quit drawing the
money, but Ritz compelled her to con-
tinue the fraud until they separated
about year ago. Then she ceased
drawing the money, and the govern
ment, desiring to know why the money
was not drawn, started an investiga-
ton. After six months hard work, the
conspiracy was unearthed, and Mrs.
Barnes was arrested yesterday, at Som
erset, Ozark county, and Ritz was taken
into custody in this city.

A Man Who Witnessed Marshal
Jones' Crooked Work.


WASHINGTON, May 4.-George W.
Cole, of Chicago, who was in Oklahoma
when that territory was thrown open to
settlement, had a conference with At
tOrney General Miller this afternoon in
regard to the conduct of government
officers on that occasion. According to
his statement, Marshal Jones, of Kan
sas. and nearly all of his 700 deputies
took illegal advantage of their official
position to get possession of choice land.
MI. Cole said he was on the spot and was
prepared to substantiate his charges
against Marsha Jones and his deputies.
He said further that Marshal Needles
and his deputies of the Oklahoma dis
trict were alleged to be equally culpable
in the matter, but as he was not per-
sonally cognizant OF the facts so far as
these officials were concerned, he
did not care to be responsible
for the charges against them. He
had seen enough, however, dur
ing his stay of three days in the terri
tory to convince him that certain per-
in securing claims and he deemed it his
duty to bring the matter to the atten-
ton Of the proper authorities. He said
he had talked with Secretary Noble
in regard to the matter, and
it was at his suggestion that he
had called upon the attorney general.
The latter thanked him for his informa-
ton, and assured him that the matter
Iwould be thoroughly Investigated. He
,said he had already heard enough to
satisfy him that some crooked business
ihad been perpetrated in Oklahoma, and
Ihe was determined that the offenders
shall be brought to justice if possible.
