A man who gave his name as
C. Dost Mohammed, with the
claim that he was a Moor, worked
both the white and colored people
of Dublin recently, as a fake mis¬
sionary. To the negroes he
represented that he wanted to
build a school in Africa. To ihe
white people he claimed that he
was anxious to finish his eoucation
at a Louisville, Ky., Rheological
school and then return to his
home in Morrocco and convert
his heathen country men. In both
instances he “pulled” the people
for neat sums of money and then
left for parts unknown.
