Dennis Hanlfln received a
from Washington for twenty dollars
and nine cents in payment of a claim
he has heen trying to get from the
government for •fortyJseven years. He
was then a young lieutenant in charge
of construction of federal breasts
works at Murphysboro, Tenn. 'When
Dennis turned over to the quarter

quartermaster told him unless he
made it good it would stop his, set

the weapon was worth and being
told it was charged at one dollar, die

what he thought was an injustice.
He made the officer give him a re

At least a dozen different claim
agencies have undertaken to get It
for him, but were turned down, one
after another. Years ago, when Den

thought he had eome influence, accom

about it. Learning there that there

A UNIQUE CRIMINAL RECORD.

Tphe convict Charles Currle, who sa
Iterisn the penitentiary Tuesday, has
quite an interesting history from a
draflp^jtn^nologist's point of view.
^ii^t Grafton, Judge W. J. Kneeshaw
sentenced Charles Currle of Minto, to
serve his fourth term in the peniten*
tiary at Bismarck. This .time Currie
received a sentence qf one year and
five months on a charge of selling liq
uor Illegally. He had served sentences
•for burglary, grand larceny and liquor
selling- He was released less than:
a year ago after serving- a sentence of
five years. One rather odd feature of
his ease is the fact that he has. always
returned to Minto immediately after
his sentence expired.
Some years ago there were sever
res In Minto and Currie was sus-er,
B. R. Slnkler, who was
attorney at that time, hired a
ve to investigate matters. He
failed to secure sucient evidence to
convict Currie of Incendiarism, but
secured evidence that he was guilty
of burglary and his conviction was
secured. In Cunie'g ^possession was
found an infernal machine, which
could be used in lncediarism. It con
sisted of a box packed with exiselsior
In it was a candle. It was so arranged
4jbat when the candle burned a certain
distance there would be a fire. After
Currie was sent to prison there were
no more fires.
