A UNIQUE SYSTEM.
Two Men Arrested In Buchanan County
For Using the Mails to Defraud.

From away back in the wilds of Buch-
anan county, as far from a railroad and
the outer world as it is possible for one
70 get In virginia. comes the story of the
oetectlon of David McClanahan and Eli
Jan Stacy, who have for the past two
years been using the mails to defraud
mail order houses in Chicago. Nc
Cianahan was postmaster at Golden
springs and Stacy his assistant. These
men had been ordering goods from the
Dig mar order houses in Chicago, reg
istering the money with each order. and
were looked upon as good customers.
Inc orders were, in most cases, for ex-
penslve watches and jewelry. On re-
ceipt OF the goods these parties would
substitute an inferior grade article and
send 1T to the house, claiming that it WAS
not what was ordered and requesting
that their money be refunded. For
some time the mail order houses did
not detect the deception and returned
their money. For the purpose of secur-
ing better prestige, McClanahan had
stationary printed representing himself
as dealer in woods &C., and Stacy as a
writer OF insurance, and being in COM
plete control of the postoffice, no one in
the community knew of the deception
they were practicing. Recently they
returned a paste diamond to Sears.
hoebuck & Company, Chicago, stating
tnat 1t was not what was ordered and
asking for refund of money.
This firms records showing that no
such ring was ordered from them. led
them to suspicion that some trickery
was being played, and they turned the
case over to the Postoffice Department.
Postoffice Inspector Robinson was mt
on the case, with the result that Nc
Clanahan and Stacy were arrested for
improper use of the mails. At the pre-
urinary hearing before the United
States Commissioner at Grundv thew
plead guilty and were released on 81. 600
BOND each, to appear before the next
session of the Federal court at BIG
Stone Gap, which convenes in January.
