Peyton Robinson, Amelia Negro,
Tells Pathetic Story of

, Peyton Robinson, colored, Of Amelia
county, was sent on to the Federal
grand jury yesterday by United States
Commissioner Flegenheimcr, on the
charge of fraudulently obtaining a
letter from the post-oftice and taking
s2.15 therefrom. According to Robin
sons account. he obtained the letter
at the request of Lewis Herbert, color
ed, who now appears as his accuser.
according to the story, Herbert left
his hUr!ie in PAGES, Va, and went to
New York to work. Not finding in the
North the unlimited wealth he had
been led to expect, he made his way
back to Richmond, where he ran out

desire to. get back among the people
whom he had known all his life. In
Amelia county he met Robinson and
told him his troubles. Robinson took
him to his house and fed him. Her
bert got the postmaster to write to his
home folks for money and remained
as Robinson's guest while awaiting a
reply. Later he asked Robinson to
lend him s215. and Robinson proposed
that Herbert should give him an order
for the letter when 1t came. Robinson
put up for tie railway ticket, and
Herbert went to his home. When the
letter came, Robinson took the order
which he himself wrote in the pres
ence of Herbert, who was unable to
write and secured the letter. He got
the postmaster to open it and take
out his s2.15, and the remaining S1.S5
was placed back in the envelope and
forwarded. Yesterday Robinson was

To realize Just how great this de-

Is only necessary to remember that
1t was not so very many years ago
that nor such business was in exist

and in greater degree than, perhaps
any other innovation, 1t has succeeded
in its mission.

MANY ARCHITECTS
WILL FILE PLANS
Designs for Battle Abbey Will
Be Submitted by Leading
Designers.

About seventy-five of the most prom
inent architects of the United states
will compete for the prizes offered and
submit plans for designs of the Con-
federate Memorial Institute, or Battle
Abbey" Under the rules adopted by
the executive committee of the Con-
federate Memorial Association, yester-
day was the last day on which archi-
tects could file their names and their
proofs of standing in their profession.
This setting date for filing names.
as explained last night by Lieutenant
Governor j. Taylor Ellyson, chairman
of the committee, is merely a matter
of form. The submission of designs is
to be made under the rules of the
American Institute of Architects, and
this is one of it's customs. The idea
simply to have architects send copies
of buildings which they have designed.
so as to keep out of the contest any
who have no real claims to be called
architects.
Under the circumstances Mr.. Ellyson
thinks the committee Will approve the
list of applicants in It's entirety, and
declare them all eligible for compe-
tition
Will Submit Plans.
The next move will be to have these
architects submit designs for the Me-
mortal Institute. This must be done
by December %, and the rules of the
American Institute of Architects will
be strictly complied with. Mayor d.
C. Richardson Will keep the names .of
the contestants, while the committee
will consider the designs. There are
to be several prizes, to be awarded to
those sending in the best plans. AT
the end a design will be decided upon
and a contract executed with the sue
ccssful architect.
This building. which is to cost APP
proximately 100000. will stand on the
Boulevard, facing east, on the grounds
of the Lee Camp Soldiers Home. The
State and r. E. Lee Camp of Confed-
crate Veterans have donated their in
terests in the property to the associa-
ton for this purpose. 1t is planned to
make this undertaking unique in de-
sign and contents and to arrange it so
that succeeding generations may be
given an opportunity to learn the his
tory of the deeds and prowess of the
soldiers of the Confederacy.
After the actual adoption of plans
the work of construction is expected
to occupy a comparatively short time.

Regent.-1t is reported on good au-

petitions in the west end Of this and
eastern Billings county for the annex
alton Of twelve townships from Bill
ings to Hettinger county.
II the required number Of signers
are secured, the proposition Of annex
alton will be submitted to the voters
at the general election for their ap-
proval or rejection. The question is to
be voted on in both counties and a
majority vote is necessary to carry the
proposition.
The purpose Of the promoters, as can
be learned at this time. is, in the event
the annexation Is accomplished to or
ganize new county out Of the terri
tory acquired and that part of Het-
finger county lying west of range "a.
with New England as the county seat
of the new county.
Marmarth also has proposition for
the division Of Billings county, with
that town as the county seat, to sub

Gus eyes on the vast territory of Bill
ings, and proposes to carve off and
annex bunch of towns along the
south line. And last but not least
Beach will attempt to wrest the county
seat of Billings from Medora.
