Dent was arrested at l'nld vosterdity by S. S. Nix, father of Marshal Nix, and brought to this tily. He now occupies (juurtors in theb.istile. Dent Is n ninti posesslng more gall than sense r.nd he bid- fi.: to go over the rond for several long stretches. During the past week there has been gross irooltedncss nntl shady work lu the lino at the land olllce at l'nid, unit big howls huve gone up from hon est homes tenders who have been fleeced. Dent was one of the men doing tho crooked work. Ho posed as a deputy United States marshal and mndo scads of money by ndvaueing men in line. In order' to make his business mure secure, Duut had the nerve nnd au dacity to have tickets printed, which ho gave to his purchasers for money consideration. Following; Is n fac simile of one ot the tickets: : ' "C." : : ornciAt. svmiiku in m.u i nt : rxiTKD static unJ) oi'i'icii : HMO, OKLAHOMA. : I J. 15. D. : : Chief Dnputy I'. S.

Up to Wednes day last deputy marshals were not in charge of any of tho land olllces. At that lime the outrages became so no torious that Marshal Nix placed his men lu charge of thcoHico at Perry. Since then no crookod work has been attempted. The mililnry is m cltarge of the Enid land olltee. Since Dent's arrest the fako deputies art! hiding nut, and it is hoped that an effectual quietus lias been put on tho men im personating deputy marshals. .otlce to .MereliantH.
