FIVE WE'RE ARRESTED.
Detective Mason's Information
Causes More Census Arrests.

Detective MaSOn'S Information
Causes More Census Arrests.
More arrests have been made in con-
nection with the original census enum-
Grafton in Minneapolis. Deputy United
States Marshal Campbell. accompanied
by Detective j. II. Mason, came over
from st. Paul yesterday morning with
a pocket full of warrants, and started
out to look for enumerators. He had
little difficulty in doing SO. and ere the
shrill saw mill whistles proclaimed the
vesper hour he had corralled no less
than five men who are accused
of having conspired to make Min
neapolIs too populous town.
The first to be arrested was
A. w. Lewis, known as doc" Lewis,
who, during the original enumeration,
counted district 81. Mason met Lewis
near the Kas0ta block shortly before 10
o'clock in the morning. Campbell came
up few minutes later and told Lewis
that he might consider himself under
arrest. Lewis said all right and waived
the reading of the warrants. He was
turned over TO Sheriff Eye. Lewis said
that he had expected to be arrested, but
he was nevertheless very warm in the
region OF the neck band of his shirt
when locked up in the county Jail. He
fumed a good deal and, among other
things. said this:
''Well, this is something pretty new
to me, and | don't want it to get old,
either What is the charge against ME?
| don't know. didn't even ask them
to read it over to me. l suppose it's
high treason, along with the rest of the
fellows. This is the first time I've had
a KEY turned on me and | don't much
take to it, even for the good of my
country. In fact, just tell them Pm
not in at all.''
But the deputy marsha's work did
not close with the arrest of Lewis.
There were others whom the United
States authorities thought should be
taken care of. About 1880 p,
H., call was made upon A.
office is in the Kasota block, There was
an official-looking document reposing
i'll Campbell's inside pocket, which bore
his name. Reyes didn't kick very hard
and went along to the United States
commissioners Office. Alfred Frechet,
a real estate dealer, was the next man
rounded up. The warrant was read to
him at about 2 o'clock. Then came p.
S. Montgomery and PulfOrd. Mont
gomery is a printer and is now working
in the Tribune Office. PulfOrd used to
be railroad man and, like many others,
became an enumeration merely for the
purpose of filling in period of time
when he was not working.
The warrants in all these cases are
similar to those upon which Stevens
and Dickey were arrested. They were
issued upon information sworn out by
Detective Mason. and charge that the
men mentioned in them conspired to
add fictitious names to the census rolls
of the city of Minneapolis. All the men
were arraigned late in the afternoon
before Commissioner Odell and re-
leased.
The other three enumerators for
whom Mason and Deputy Marshal ]. HI.
Campbell had warrants, are W. +.
Mitchell, S. E. Crandell, and Richard S.
Pierce Mitchell is in Florida, and has
no suspicion that warrant is out for
his arrest. Crandall and Pierce are in
Minneapolis. The reason they were not
learned that these two men we're wanted
he hunted Mason and Campbell up and
TOLD them that he would assure them
that Crandell and Pierce would be on
hand to-day at O'Clock in the afternoon
when the other parties are to have
hearing. This was satisfactory 10 Mason
and Campbell, and 10 further effort to
make arrests was made. The five per-
sons arrested gave bonds in the penalty
of $500 for their appearance to-day.
The warrants are made returnable be-
fore United States Commissioner Bowen,
