Alarming Disclosures In the Frauda
Of Pension Agent DreWry.

of Pension Agent Drewry.
A Norfolk special to the Wash
ington Post says:-The grand jury
in the United States court to-day
found eleven indictments against
w. r. Drewry, the ex-pension Ag't
for obtaining pensions by forgery
and other fraudulent means, aud
to-day's work Of thesgrand jury was
only the beginning OF the investi-
cation of this now celebrated pen
sion steel. It is, of course, inpog-
sible to learn the secrets of the
grand jury room, but enough infor-
nation could be obtained around
the court this morning to make one
Of the most interesting stories of
fraud and trickery which has ever
come from a hall Of justice.
William r. Drewry, lawyer, has
lived in this city for number of
years, but only within the past
three years has he been running
his rapid fire pension machine. It
was only necessary to say to the at
torney that pension was desired
and it was forthcoming. But the
various means used in obtaining
these pensions by the rapid transit
process are certainly novel, if not
in accord with Uncle Sans written
law.
Evidence was introduced before
the grand jury today showing that
people whose names were signed to
the papers as witnesses had never
seen, not only the papers, but did
not even know the pension attor-
ney when they met him on the
street. Nor was this all. Other
names were signed by "his mark
in cases where the owner of the
name could sign it better than At
torney Drewry.
As to the part the notary public
played in the case not half has been
told. Benjamin A. Richardson, a
well-to- do painter in this city, is a
half brother to Drewry, and when
business came in with such rush
on the latter he induced the paint,
er's son, B. A. Richardson, Jr., who
was just of age, to apply for com.
mission as notary. Richardson did
SO, and was successful. A desk was
given him at Drewry's Office, but
there was lull in the business, and
! Richardson accepted a position as 6
travelling salesman.
, He carried his seal to his fathers
paint store and went to Florida. I,
was while Richardson was in the ia,
South that Drewry went to the
paint store and asked for the seal
! giving as an excuse that some of the
papers had been returned from
Washington for correction and he
had to affix the seal. It was deliv
cred to him, and from that day
, Dse#ry has been affixing the sea
and signing Richardson's name t.
8 everything which presented itself
The grand jury this Afternoon
Q also brought in six Indictment
! against young Richardson, the ex
notary public, for thess Indictment
e were based On evidence that Rich
t ardson had signed blanks attestin;
that the applicant for the pension
had signed the papers in his pres
. ence, when the fact was that tn
notary Yves several hundred mile
away when they were signed by tn
{ applicant, and that after these ps
: pers were signed by Richardsol
. they were left with Drewry for fu
9 ture use.

the Bismarck Tribune calls it 'butchery.

What q terrible prairie fire this neigh-
borhood will get some of these days!
As long as SO much time and money have
been expended in breaking and blowing
guards, they should be burned out as soon
as they will burn. each year. In the
blowing Of breaks this season there has
been more economy and system than
heretofore, but the labor will all have
been thrown away unless the strip be-
tween the plowing Is burned out soon.
Either keep public fire. breaks in order or
repeal the law and let each settler make
his own guards. AS 1t is now. depend
snce is placed on the public guards, and
for that reason less private work is done
to protect stacks and buildings.

A Familiar Bird.

A prairie chicken. says the Walsh
County Record, IS a peculiar bird. It
takes its name from the prairie where it
stays. and eats whatever it sees when
hungry. 1t comes to town but once a
year. and then in wagon box, when il
is full of CHILLED shot and gun wadding.
A prairie chicken is the color of we'll.
done grass. and will squat low and let
you carry a uble.barreled shot gun
loaded to the muzzle right by 1t without
rising, and at other times it will get up
two blocks away and let go of peculiar
noise. 1t IS the old cock. and he is on to
the shotgun, and what he says would rot
do for publication. The rise and fall of
the prairie chicken has been noted with
interest during few weeks past. A
prairie chicken sat on shock to rest,
and picked out the wheat with its bill,
and man with gun Came up on run,
and the chicken with shot. tried to fill;
but he stubbed his big toe and the shot
struck too low, and he thrsshed out
bushel of wheat and the chicken arose
from It's late repose and few DER the hill
like streak.

"A Now Kind Of Wheat,

Stutsman county, says the Jamestown
Alert. is likely to produce new variety
of wheat Of such excellence that it will
become generally known. Several years
ago farmer named Buchan, living near
Spiritwood lake, secured from some
source few grains Of hard wheat. He
planted it and cultivated 1t for several
yearsswith rather poor success, owing to
dry weather. However, he succeeded in
raising few bushels ofsthe grain and in
keeping it entirely separate from other
varieties. A year or so ago Agent George
Smith, of the North Dakota Elevator
company, secured few bushels of the
wheat. He saved it in the elevator, aud
this spring it was planted by John hi.
near, farmer living north of the city.
From three bushels of seed Minear has
raised 81 bushels of this new variety Of
grain, which as yet has no name given it.
The Fife wheat on the same section OF
Minear's farm has only yielded 8 bushels
to the acre, while this new and unknown
variety has yielded about 80 bushels to
theacre. The wheat1s number one hard,
and is remarkable for being. heavily
