There is much excitement in financial
circles here to-day, over the discovery of
the counterfeit Cook county scrip. About
twenty thousand dollars of it has already
been discovered, scattered among six bsnk-
ers and brokers, as follows: Lazarus Sl-
nan, $1,000; Leopold Mayer, $4,000; Ty-
ler, Unman s. Co, $4,000; Preston, Viii.
lard s. Kean, $4,000; C. L. Niehof, 81, 600;
and Mallory & Go. 1000. No doubt more
of it will be discovered. Nobody will
touch the scrip to-day in the Board Of
Brokers or anywhere else. Kennedy, who
was arrested SIS one of the couAterfeiters,
had considerable of it in his possession.
He is locked up. The scrip was printed
very carelessly in common letter-press, and
of course was easily counterfsited.
John s. Wallace, of the firm of John s.
Wallace s. Co, was arrested to-day on q
warrant obtained by Assessor Page, fol
using some revenue stamps two or three
times over on his warehouse receipts. Hi
manner of doing it was to put q stamp on
a receipt, and after it had been passed, tear
it off and use it again on another receipt
Numbers of receipts were found in his desl
with the stamps off and the stamps in al
envelope. In this way he confesses Il
having used about $35, which will proba

tion Of imprisonment When discovered
