SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , Jan. 28. ( Special )
A case of alleged wholesale swindling Is
reported from Salem , McCook county. A
week or two ago a man nnd woman arrived
at that place and engaged roomi at the
, cn\U house. The man was constantly In-
oxlcated , while the woman appeared to be
L person of refinement. A pasteboard sign
jearlng the words "Dr. Reynolds , " was
.acked up at the entrance to the hotel. No
'urther ' advertising was attempted and none
no observed the entrance or exit of pa
tents , although the "doctor" continued
spending money with the reckless abandon
of a millionaire. U was finally observed
hat each day he took a drive with another
Granger who had recently arrived at Salem.
A few tlnjs ago residents ot the country
surrounding Salem began flocking Into Sa-
em to consult attorneys about the legality
of contracts they had been Induced to make
vlth Dr. Reynolds , who agreed In exchange
hcrefor to give them medical treatment
nt some future time at Minneapolis. It then
tevcloped that the "doctor" had visited
ho country for miles around Salem ami
called upon the farmers and their families ,
examining many of them for the purpose of
letormlnlng the nature of their ailments ,
ie claimed to bo the agent for a hospital
.hut made a specialty of such diseases.
io charged all the way from $3 to $50
all ho co u 111 get out of n. particular family
to euro the nllmont and rcaulred that the
iinount be paid to him In advance. Where
'amllles were unable to pay cash ho took
a note nnd mortgage.
Landlord Ufford of the hotel where the
doctor boarded , presented a bill for the
amount of board due and upon his failure
o pay It had the medicine man arrested
'or obtaining board under false pretenses.
It Is understood that the matter was fin
ally compromised and this charge against
lira dlemlsicu. The couple have now left
Salem ffir an unknown destination.

At a meeting of the executive committee
of the charity ball committee It was deemed
advisable to place on sale a limited number
of single admlnslon tickets for $1 each. The
ordinary tickets , which admit ono couple
cost $2. It was found that many persons
who did not care particularly about attend
ing the ball were willing to pay $1 for ti
ticket In order to help long a worthy
cause , but they objected to giving up $2. It
waa for the purpose of accommodating these
people that the executive committee deemed
It best to have some single adml'slon tic
kets printed. The salp Is progressing nicely
and without doubt a neat sum will he real
ized I by the hospital. Several conferences
1t have 1 been held about the refreshments to
be t 1i ( cried. Some thought that a first-class
cupper should be furnished , but In this case
the t malorlty ruled and only light refresh
ments l will be served. The women of the
hospital ' association have talked the matter
over and have decided to ccrvo cake and
punch. In connection with the work of the
hospital It might bo stated that during the
year 1808 th ( ) hospital cared for eighty-live
patients , a majority being charity cases. It
Is for the purpose of maintaining this Insti
tution that the ball Is to bo given :

"Red" Morrlscy was released from custody
ly Judge llnbcock yesterday afternoon , ns
ho confession of W. C. Barrier did not in
ny way Implicate him. Morrlsey waa glade
o get out of prison and hardly stopped to
hank the court whew the order releasing
llm waa Issued. Barrier Is &tlll confined In
ho county jail , but since his confession he
las not been kept In the solitary cell. He
now mingles with the other prisoners nnd
an talk to his heart's content. Just what
will bo done with the young man Is not
cnovvn at the present time , as the question
s up to the county attorney and he will say
vhat punishment , If any , should bo meted
out to him.
Judge Babcock has expressed a willing
ness to give Barrier a suspended vagrancy
sentence providing he agrees to leave the
city and keep away and It Is possible that
his may be done. Mayor Ensor Is gratified
at the outcome of this case and he feels that
) filcers Montague and Hnnrcy , who acted as
its agents during tlio Investigation , did ex
cellent work. "These men , " said the mayor ,
n speaking about the case yesterday after
noon , "did some of the best detective work
ever done In the city. When I gave the
case Into the hands of these men on Mon-
lay morning last I told them to go ahead and
lo the bret they could and to stop at noth-
ng. If Barrier was guilty I wanted theme
o prove It and If djnnmlto had been placed
on Mr. Tovvl'i steps with malicious intent
wanted them to find out who put it there.
Jo stone was left unturned by Hnnley nnd
ilontaguo and their discoveries forced the
confession from Barrier. The police force
certainty did Its duty In this case. I think
that the citizens generally will feel better
now , as It Is known positively that an
archism arc not In our midst. "
Barrier certainly came very near being
made a hero of by certain people , but his
arrest and the theory of the major and the
police put a damper on tlio scheme. Early
Monday morning when tlio news was float-
ng around that Barrier had saved Tovvl and
ils family from death some of the friends
of Tow ! at the stock yards started to take
up a collection with the Intention of pre
senting Barrier with a purse as a reward for
his bravery. Only a small turn had been
pledged when word was received that Barrier
was In jail and that It looked as If ho was
working Towl for a job. The Btlicino for
_ collection felr Hat nnd these who started
it are not saying a word just now.

Ed McDonald is the name given by a
prisoner at the city jail who Is being held
on a charge of forgery. Sam Remer caused
McDonald's arrest , but It was not until he
became suspicious at the number of checks
McDonald appeared to have about his per
son.
Within the last day or two Remer has
cashed three checks amounting to $3ri. The
first check presented was signed W. L. Lar-
eon and was for $7.50 , then came another
with the signature of Chailes P. Stanley for
$17.60 and later one for $10 bearing the sig
nature of W. D. Gerald. All of these checks
were drawn on the Omaha National bank
and had been returned stamped "no funds "
McDonald showed up at Remer'a saloon jes-
terday afternoon and spent a small sum for
drinks. Remer knew then that the cheeks
were bogus and tried to detain his man
while ho sent for a policeman , but McDon
ald appeared to bo In a hurry and btartcd
for a street car. Remer followed him and
after McDonald was comfortably ( seated he
called Officers Montague and Rowley and
the arrest was made. McDonald was seen
by a reporter ot The Bee at police head
quarters jesterday afternoon. Ho was pac
ing up and down the bull pen In his shirt
sleeves nnd was decidedly nervous. In
answer to questions he denied positively
having forged the names of nn > ono to checks
and asserted that he was being Illegally
held. When searched , McDonald had only
10 cents In money on his person , but he
had some documents which may prove ot
value to the prosecution when his trial
comes up , McDonald has a business air
about him which would maUo It easy for
him to obtain money on n check here , as
a large proportion of the business transacted
here Is done by check.
It Is asserted that McDonald is wanted
In Omaha on the same charge.

that he has been tn tbo habit of carrying

The question of straw bonds , which
formed such an Important pait In the trial
of Police Captain D. W. Her , has aroused
considerable curiosity. A glaaco at the
records shows that hundreds of these bonds
were acknowledged by Judge Gordon dur-
jng ( lie last jcar and prisoners were re
leased upon them without question. The
police protested at the time men were rib-
elated and later , but his honor has con
tinued to permit attorneys to sign them
just the baiue.
V. H. Walker's name will bo found as
frequently as that of any other lavvjcr prac
ticing In the police court. The records
show that all the property Mr. Walker has
Is a brock of ground In Hcnson addition , on
which ho has a $2,000 mortgage. The laud
Is estimated to be worth $100. During 1S9S
ho obtained the release of 128 prisoners
charged with misdemeanors , whoso bonds
were placed at from $100 to $500. Four
teen persons charged with felonies were
liberated on bonds furnished by him ranging
from $100 to $1.000.
The lecords of the county fall to tliovv
that Attorney C. F. Brltt has any realty , yet
during the last jear 151 persons were re
leased for him when charged with misde
meanors. Five clients alleged to bo guilty
of felonies obtained their freedom through
his mediation. |
Scott Jackson' often assisted Mr. Walker as
a bondsman and the records accredit him
with the ownership ot tlio cast halt of lot
111. ot the old plat which Is plastered with
a $250 mortgage and Is now being foreclosed
under a tax Hen. Jackson Is charged with i
signing thirteen misdemeanor bonds nnd I
ten where persons were accused of fefonles. i
The records contain the name of Attorney
K. F. Morlarlty as the owner of lot 2 ,

Incumbrance. Yet during tbo last year Mr.
Morlarlty , through the klndnete of Judge
Gordon , secured the liberty of twenty-one
persons charged with mlsdcmcauois and ouo
accused ot a felony.
The records fall to t > how that any of thft
following persons have a dollar's worth ot
property In the county , nut they arc re
ceived constantly or were during the last
year as bondsmen :
C. Gieen , signed bonds for ten persons
accused of misdemeanors ; Attorney Peter
Schwenk , signed thirty-four bonds for cllentu
accused of nilsilcmennora and ono for a fel
ony ; Attorney W. S. Shoemaker liberated
twelve persons ctiargcd with misdemeanors
and one with a felony ; C. P. Tuttle got oft
thirteen accused of misdemeanor ; At
torney W. P. Cowan found twenty-six of
his clients accused of misdemeanors and
secured their release ; Patrick Carroll had
one misdemeanor bond nnd nine for felonies ;
Jacob F. Lutz got out fourteen charged with
misdemeanors and ono with a felony ; Fred
Smith had seven charged with misdemeanors
released.

tion of their action in rearrestlng prl"onerb
when released , oven If they do have to
charge them with some other Infraction than
that for which they were arrested first.
