CAPTAINS GOT
THREATENING
LETTERS
MissiYeS and Merklin's Sig.
natures Sent to Federal
Authorities.

Fred Merklin, % years old. of Lille
street and Seventeenth avenue, who
poses as a deputy sheriff and claims a
several notices to ppear in court re-
Gently, made his latest appearance to-
day and was the chief figure in a star
chamber session, in which Captain
Vogel, of the Fourth Precinct; Captain
Schweikhardt, of Engine Company No.
6. and Judge Herr took part relative to
some mysterious letters the fire captain
and police captain have recently re-
ceived.
Several months ago a false alarm was
sent in from the fire box located at Six
teenth and Littleton avenues, and MerlS-
lin was seen in the vicinity, but Moth
ing was said about his being guilty. He
imagined, however, that he was being
accused n threatened some officials
would "see their finish"
Captain Schweikhardt received a
threatening letter, which also con-
tanned a lot of nonsense, and suspected
Merklin. He consulted Captain Vogel
but nothing was done at the time.
On New Years Day Captain Vogel
found in his mail a letter like that re-
ceived by Captain Schweikhardt. He
talked the subject over with Judge
Herr and Merklin was called. During
the seance he was asked to sign his
name.
With the letters n Merklin's sig
nature the officials went to the local
United States Marshal's office and that
of the district attorney. The United
States officials will now conduct the
investigation.
Captain Vogel would take Merklin's
deputy sheriff badge from him, but
will not do so without the consent of
the sheriff. At the sheriff's office Merk-
Inns name is not on the official list of
deputies. Merklin dresses up to the
minute. A short time ago he was ar
raigned on complaint of his mother.
who stated that she was a widow and
that the would-be deputy wanted to
be master of the house.

Night Waterman Coogan.
Yesterday little Mrs. Hattie Hull,
fanciful fiber and romantic narrator,
rehearsed her tale of the dead woman
being her half sister, Minnie jeanette
CASTOR. From an Ananias standpoint
she is interesting, and her story caused
her to use some quaint expressions.
MY daddy is running for sheriff in

said she to Judge Branegan. HE is
somewhere in Tennessee and l do wish
1 was there. My nanny, / don't know
where she is, but 1 reckon she is some-
where near the Indian Territory. My
daddy is the father of twenty-five chill

She told a lot Of other stuff, but she
was evidently hbbing, for the police
kept the girl in the Town Hall until

hardts and even Peter Coogan, of the
Marine Engine Company, Waterman,
who says he saw the woman have not
been detained. There is no one on
guard at the boat Idle Hour to protect
Thompson's $500 investment. If the
boat is robbed or in any way damaged
lawyers declare that Thompson could
bring suit against the town of Har-
rison and win just as soon as the law
unbolts his prison door and allows
him his liberty. Thompson is bright
and has seen a bit of the world. He
knows his rights and is going to stand
on them If he gets out.

CARRIED OUT AT LAST.
Body Cremated and Nodded Into Brick
"to Keep Him from Coming
Back to Boston,"

BOSTON, Jan. 3.-The ashes of Herman
Unger, the Pittsburg travelling salesman
who committed suicide In a Boston hotel
on May 8 last, have at last found a resting
place in the hebrew Montvale Cemetery
ut Woburn.
Unger, VIII was q member of a Pittsburg
Odd Fellows lodge, just before taking the
poison wrote a letter to a Boston barber
and brother Odd Fellow in which he de-
scribed what disposition should be made
Of his remains. He stated that he was
afraid he would return to Boston after
his death and to prevent such an oco'ir-
renee he requested that his Odd Fellows
insurance be expended i'll disposing of his
body.
He stipulated that his body should be
cremated and the ashes mixed with cement,
IN equal proportions. and that the whole
be nodded into a brick. The only mark
the brick was to bear were his initials.
The wishes were carried out to the let
Ter, but there was some trouble for n long
while about finding a resting place for the
human brick"
