.The iocal police officials have-been
informed that counterfeit silver dol
lars of the dates of 1860 and 1881
are being industriously circulated in
this part of the state. At this time
of the year the shoved of t lid
? "qnrtr" are able to get in tlieli
work without much fear of detec
tions The holiday rush makis mer
chants less careful in examining the
.moneVi they rtyeive and the number
of 4wra clerkt=Aftfe* "A employed
alro makes it anXfrp^JhUej: to got
. rid of this class of ^ .
J.5- 'The "counterfeit dollars that are
"being circulated are almost a perfect
'^reproduction of the genuine and it
? is a very easy matter to have one
palled. However the dates of these
ms are 1880 and 1881 and as the
merchants have been warned in- ad
ce it is probable that they' will
t be victimized to a very large ex
,^'VKUV* ' ' ,
' The new clerks that ate employ
.,*& at this season of the year are as,
a rule unaccustomed to detectiug
/. spurious money, and they are the
'.particular class of people sought by,
E those who have the bad money to err
S cplatc. A careful lookout will be't
.?kept and it is hoped that this may
- lead to the detection of the guilty
parties if they persist in their work.
i'.- It will be remembered that two
years ago just about this time of the
:$ear this section of the country was
.'.flooded with bogus $5 bills. It was
\>upposed at that time that most of
Vthis woTk was done by a number of
Italians hut no arrests were made,
c; The plun fololwcd was to go into
store during its busiest time, make
a purchase of some toy or other ar
? ticle costing only a few cents and
.{.tender a $5 bill in payment. The
change was then profit and as hund
reds of these bills were put out iu
? this part of the country the pro
moters were several hundred dollars
to the j?ood.
Last vear this same operation was
repeated all over the state with the
exception that the denomination of
-"the bills used them was only $1 but
a large number were disposed of.
This year the counterfeiters are us
ing silver dollars and reports have
come in from all over the state in
dicating that their' operations have
teen extensive
jjjV-The fact that the coins passed
. .tjsis season ai*e sUqli good imitations
?j&|he genuine makes it doubly hard
gtjwfctcct the guilty parties but mer
Hgtg&s arid dealers are all on the
gPjSHjit' for them: The federal au
pttj^TOies will be notifieri and the
"local ."police will do all in their
-po^er to arrest the guilty ones.

MAKING GARDENS

Word comes from Mrs. Agnes
Stewart and the party who are
spending the winter in St. Lucie.
Fin., on the Indian river, >tlmt all
are well and thoroughly enjoying

The picture. ;pf tropical weather
* and summer pursuits which they do
scrilie is quitia, contrast to the pres
ent conditionV'iljnjoyed by the stay
at home "snake hunters." To gaze
on the snow and ice which surround

geography to realize that it is pos
sible, that elsewhere, there exists
per|ietual summer.

IN MURDER CASE
_ Fairmont. W. Va., Doc. 18?
Frank Wright, the alleged paramour
of Mis, Helen May l'ayton, who is
being tritnl for the murder of tier
husband at Maunington last July,
may yet linvo to answer a severe
charge. He was ordered taken in
charge l>y Sheriff Furbee pending
an investigation, which may prove
that Wright purchased powdered
strychnine at n local drug storo
here last June 28.
On the stand, Wright admitted
that he was in the city on the date
named and registered at the Marion
hotel here with 'Mrs. ? l'ayton "fr
"Frank Wright anil wife, of Clarks
burg." The druggist's entry show's
that "Frank Krown" was the nanuj;
sijftied to the label, nnd the hnndjj
writin;.' is very similar to that regis
tered en the book at the Marion ln^
tel as "Frank Wright and wife."
The State's evidence in the Vav
ton murder case was concluded Sni
urday afternoon, and fourteen wit
nesses or more will now be beard on
I the defensive side. The men on the
I jury have not been privileged to
spa'k since Wednesday to any out
sid^partv. and had.to spend Sunday
behinil joeked doors.
