the Atlanta penitentiary.

NO CHANGE IN CASE
the CEMENT IS MOVED

There is no change in the railroad
cement case from what was stated in
the PRESS last week. The 252 sacks of
cement have been moved to the sheriff's
barn in the court house block.
Dave Rhodes and George Joslin have
made no attempt to get bonds since
making their confession and are both in
Jail. The hearing is set for October: s,
and it is not expected that there will be
any new developments unless that the
authorities should find the fourth man
who helped to move the cement from
the round house. 49,,

his hot air railroad scheme.
One of the state papers says that it
would take several thousand dollars to
cover c. F. Merry's swindles. Several
hundred thousand would be q good deal
more like It. He commenced his career
Of ;c4ookedness when about IS years Of
age down In Missouri by forging his
fathers name and he has never let up
since that time. The. Odd Fellows
Building & Loan Co.. the North Ameri-
can Live Stock 1ns. Co. and several fake
fire insurance companies are schemes he
has used for Wholesale robbery, Of people
in the Northwest. AtsSpokane he. came
very near swinging what he termed
million dollar ,swindle. back in the
nineties. II was also about this time
that he attempted to steal a full train
load Of mutton sheep. The. shipment was
unloaded at Dickinson in transit from
Montana and when reloaded Merry got
the billing in his own name and started
for Chicago and the AGENTS of the own
ers of the sheep did not succeed in head
ing off the daylight robber until after
he had passed St. Paul.
| C. F.. Merry has usually been &C.
credited to Dickinson. but the people
here are not caring for the notoriety. In
fact Merry does not own a home here and
has not for years and he. has been away
a great portion Of. the time on his graft
ine tours and it would be hard to tell,
outside of. jail. where his legal abode
should be given.

TAKEN TO ADAMS
TO SERVE HIS JAIL SENTENCE

Monday evening the sheriff and a
deputy from Adams county passed
through Dickinson with C. F. Merry on
their way to Hettinger to place the
prisoner in Jail. Merry's sentence in
Adams county for %defrauding Dr.. Johns
is eight months and there is a fine and
costs amounting to $500 to be satisfied
and the probabilities are that Merry will
prefer to remain in Jail to satisfy the
sum rather than to supply that amount
in cash. He has spent too much money
already in trying to defeat the ends of
Justice in this matter.
There was said to have been a stormy
time in Foster county when the officers
took Merry. He threatened to send for
his lawyer, get bondsmen and do all
sorts of great things. So they called up
P. D. Norton. the states attorney of
Adams county. who is not: easily
bluffed, and he told them to put C. F.
in jail and see that the door was Sc
curely locked until the sheriff arrived
from Hettinger.
1t was arranged for the Foster county
people to take Merry and turn him over
to Adams for aanother term with the
sheriff down there. The bondsmen for
Merry in this scrape were happy when
they learned that the old rascal was
caught, for it released them of a biz
liability.
The Foster county people have enough
against Merry to send him to the pen,
but what a trial a year or two from
now will bring forth no one can tell.
While out on his grating tour the past
summer, Merry swindled a number of
Twin City parties on his sight draft
confidence game. He caught the West
Hotel of Minneapolis for $50, and the
management was &C surprised that they
teleeraphed to know how it happened
that C.. F. Merry's draft was permitted
to 60 to protest.
1t is said that the Webster, S. D..
authorities would like to get hold of
Merry for grating people down there or
