''FRESNO DAMP
WINS ESTATE
Ruling Establishing Him as the
Russell Heir to $500. 900.

Boston, Oct. 23AAIthough the re-
port of A. A. Pevy, Supreme Court
Master, will not be made public until
next week, it is understood that
Fresno DAM the mysterious, nom
communicative parsonage who came
from the West and announced him
self as the long missing son of Daniel
Blake Russell of Melrose, at a time
when the claimant known as Dakota
Dan" was clamoring in the courts for
recognition, has been declared to be
the true heir, and Dakota Dam a
deliberate falsid1er and none other
than Jim Russeau, who left his home
in Northern New York to roam the
country.
Fresno Dam is at present in
Illinois visiting friends.
This celebrated case has been be-
fore the courts since 1909, and the
possibility is that the end is not yet.
Dakota Dan says he hopes to be
indicted as a result Of the master s
finding and so get his case before a
jury.
The Daniel Blake Russell estate
was estimated at 100000 at the time
Dakota Dam filed his claim as the
missing son. The long drawn out
legal contest, it is said, has almost
exhausted it.

easily arouse strong feelings on both
sides of the Atlantic"

LOCKED UP IN CELL
Arrest Is Result of a Story
Told by Bryn Mawr
Student.

NEW YORK, Oct. Hermann Del.
richs, Columbia law student and son
of the late Hermann Oelrichs, shipping
merchant, was arrested by order Of
Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty

ter of Texas mine owner.

ed. Trayer's report regarding the ac-
cident in which Miss Singleton had
been reported "injured' by being
tossed through the wind shield of the
machine, was not satisfactory in the
light of developments in the case as
obtained later By other detectives, it
was announced at police headquarters.
Miss Singleton told these detectives,
according to Dougherty, that sho had
been stabbed by man to whom she
alluded as Creighton her companion
in the car. Trayer, prior to this, had
reported, said Dougherty, that Miss
Singleton told him she was not stabbed
and that in reply to question whether
she knew Oclrichs, she replied she did
not. The machine that met with the
accident, however striking stone and
crashing into tree, belonged to Gel
richs. The girls companion fed, leav-
ing the wrecked car behind him, and
Miss Singleton was removed to hos
pital and later to her home.
A youth wearing glasses and saying
he WAS detective, called on Miss
Singleton today and advised her to
settle" the case for money, detec-
tiyes told Dougherty, and after a con-
versation in which the sum Of $4,000
was mentioned, an understanding was
reached that "Creighton was to give
her &400.
Commissioner Dougherty tonight ar
ranged for Miss Singleton to telephone
the home of Creighton and asll
him to come to her home, which she
did, Detectives concealed themselves
there. and Oelricbs and a companion
thoy say, walked in and Oelrichs was
arrested as Il result of a conversation
between the two and Miss Singleton.
The other man was not made a pris-
oner- The young woman's condition,
it was said tonight, is not serious.
Oelrichs was locked up in a police
station cell tonight to await arraign-
ment tomorrow, He is 22 years old
and a frst-year student in the law
school.
Doughcrty announced later tonight
that Miss Singleton had identified Del
richs as hor assailant, declaring the
Oelrichs let go the steering wheel to
attack her. A few minutes before this,
Doughcrty said Miss Singleton declared
she had told Oelrichs that she had a
dinner engagement with another man
