From current reports around Dickin-
son it would seem that Claude Croft had
not conducted himself in a n be-
J coming areturned soldier from the Philip.
pines. He imposed upon his friends by
borrowing small amounts, on the strength
of what he claimed was coming to him
but which was not-and appropriated to
his own use things which belonged to
others, and suddenly left the city. The
muster roll of Co. K shows Croft to have
hailed from Duluth, MINI.

Gov" MERRY
Caught Second Time
The Men Who are After Him
Mean Business.

Thursday afternoon c. F. Merry was
arrested in Glendive by Sheriff Aiken on
the advice of Sheriff Kono of Dickinson.
The charge is obtaining money under
false pretcnses, the amount being S355.
The complaint was sworn out by Frank
Lish.
The facts in the case are substantially
these: Last spring, in April, c. +. Merry
went to the Twin Cities, Chicago and
other eastern points on one of his peri
odical scheming tours. He drew drafts
on the First National bank of Dickinson
and the First National Of Mandan, in
which banks he had no deposits OF credit
whatever. He had a slight acquaintance
with c. F. Bowlby, manager Of a big St.
Paul clothing house, and succeeded in OBJ
tanning S275 from the gentleman on worth
less paper. AS soon as Mr.. Bowlby found
that he had been swindled he had C. F.
Merry arrested on a criminal charge.
For a week OF ten days Merry schemed
to get the thing fixed up, but without sue
cess. Finally he managed to slip away
from the authorities and came home,
where he succeeded in inducing Frank
Lish, James G. Saunders and l.. A. Simp-
son to sign a note jointly with him at the
bank, enabling him to raise s355 with
which to fix his St. Paul scrape. Merry
made all sorts of promises and gave
these gentlemen a mortgage on property
which he did not " and never had
owned.
The past summer and fall c. F. has
been working a fine graft in Montana,
"The Equitable Tax Association OF
America dept. of Montana)," being the
name of the organization under which he
has been collecting annual dues at 81 pei
head. This is supposed to be the same
kind of a graft he had in North Dakota
two or three years ago. The organiza.
ton originated with Merry who collected
81 per head-wherever he could find
people willing to bite-and pocketed the
proceeds.
If reports are true, Merry has been d
pretty "high roller" in Montana the past
season, which would indicate that suck
ers were numerous.
A short time ago Merry came home fol
a few days. He was not seen very much
around town and it was suspected that
he was preparing to leave Dickinson al
together, but not quite so soon as Wed
nesday night, when he started west again
The PRESS understands that c. f
Merry has never attempted to %straighter
up with Messrs. Lish, Saunders ane
Simpson, and the chances are that h
will get the full extent of the law thi
time.
Sheriff Kono went to Glendive Frida,
morning, it being understood that Merr,
would return without requisition papers

The Committee of the House Of
Representatives which is investiga-
ting the case OF Roberts, the Mormon,
will make their report soon after
Congress reassembles, and as was ex-
pected, it will be unfavorable to the
claim of Mr.. Roberts to seat in Con-
g.ess. The action of the committee
OF course will be approved by the
House and decency and morality
demands that it should do so and
that he be excluded. If he has any
regal rights in the matter our law
makers, with the universal public
sentiment of most of the country
against Mormonism, will be slow in
arriving at the conclusion, that he
has any which they are bound to

AoooMAC COURT HOUSE, VA.

Senator Daniel is in Richmond and
since his arrival there has defined his
position In regard to contests within
the party in the matter of State
officers. He will not espouse the
cause of any aspirant for the GuberD-
atorial nomination or any other
honors to be conferred by the Vir-
ginia Democrats in the approaching
campaign. Senator Martin. so lar
has not authorized anyone to speak
for him along that line in anything
which has been given by him to the
public. but ticket for State officers
il is reported, has been slated, which
looks very much like as If he had
had hand in making of it, viz; Dor
Governor: Hon. Claude Swanson,
Lieut.. Governor. State Senator May
ward, of Portsmouth, AttOrney.Gen-
eral, Capt. Frances r Lassiter. OF
Petersburg Democratic leaders, 1t
is stated, named that ticket, but two
of these at least having been Martins
supporters in his candidacy for the
Senate the presumption is.that he
has spoken through them. The
ticket may not be altogether accept
able to the people of Virginia but II
it suits Mr.. Martin, what right have
we to dispute his power to act for u'
in the matters Senator Daniel, OF
course, is not up to date in the ways
of Senators in declining to assume
the authority to speak for all the
people of the State.

The Legislature OF Virginia is again
in session and its proceedings from
this time to the close can hardly fail
to be of Interest to the people of the
State. 1t is considered working
body and the numerous measures in
troduced by the members before the
holidays seems to entitle it to that
distinction, but whether it is an
economical one or not is questionable
ut least, if the body as a whole can
be judged by some of the visionary
schemes presented for the expendi-
ture of the peoples money. That
the dreamers can be held in check
by the wiser heads is hoped for, but
there 3 enough doubt about it, to
cause those who still believe that
retrenchment is necessary, to watch
the proceedings of our Legislature
with interest.

In his report to be submitted to the
Legislature next month Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction Southall
takes the ground that the education
of the negro in the South has been a
failure. The Superintendent says
the negro does not receive education
sufficient under the present system to
enable him to earn livelihood with
out manual labor. Yet he thinks be
knows enough t. live without work
ing wlSh his hands. The result is he
becomes a criminal or a vagabond.
This same view is taken by Superin~
tendent Frissell, of the Hampton
School, in his last annual report. The
report will recommend that manual
training be introduced into the negro
schools Ia Virginia.
