G. F. MERRY
IS CAUGHT I
Now in Foster County Jail at Car
rington. ChasedOver Three
States Took Too Many
Chances and Got Trapped.

After a long chase over three states. 4
including the cities Of St. Paul and
Minneapolis, c. F. Merry was nabbed
by the officers at Valley City on Tues
day and taken to the jail at Darlington,
the county seat of Foster county.
1t will be remembered that Merry,
under the assumed name of Capt. Fred
Mryan. was working his hot air railroad
scheme at Webster, S. D., early last
month. He was taking the peoples
money for his South Dakota Southern
Railway swindle.
AS soon as the Foster county people
learned of his whereabouts. their officers
started after the old promoter, who was
traced into Minnesota. later into this
state at Marion and Eckleson and finally
captured at Valley City on the 9th.
Last spring Merry grated Foster
county people for nearly two thousand
dollars. taking $500 from five men in
McKenry.
At this time he was running his paper
line through Foster county and on into
Canada. While wor ing the Webster
people he was showing blue prints of
road that would seem to meet their
needs.
Two years ago when he was swindling
the people of Adams county he had a
proposed line up through this country.
For grating DR.. Johns of Hettinger.
Merry was arrested year ago last fall
and kept in the Adams county Jail at
Hettinger during the winter. He was
tried at Dickinson during the spring of
1909, found guilty and sentenced by
Judge Burr to eight months in the
Adams cou nty Jail and fined 5000 and
costs, making $500. Merry appealed
and early the past summer the supreme
court affirmed the lower court. but the
authorities were unable to get the
prisoner. In fact, the Adams authori-
ties were lately making arrangements
to ask Judge Crawford to declare Merry's

authorities got after Merry last spring
and came here to get his arrest, but
when the sheriff went to the house the
old bird had flown. This was one of C.
F.'s old tricks, fer arrests with him
were no new thing.
1t seems to be mania with this man
to swindle some one. He has been
practicing the game for more than
thirty years, and so far he has had
nothing more serious than jail sentences
and fines.
Most people thought that he would 60
to Canada this time. but it seems as
though he delights in lodging officers
and pulling the wool over peoples eyes.
He will swindle man out of big
sum of money one day and surprise him
little later by going back and asking
favor.
What the Foster county authorities
will do with c. F. Merry remains to be
seen. They have clear cases of obtain
ing money under false pretences against
him and if the prosecution is we'll
handled he will likely get few years
at the least. When Foster county has
finished with him. then Adams county
can take turn.
