PASSING COUNTERFEIT MoSEY.-Last
Saturday evening a man giving his
name as John Brown wrnt TO a clothing
store Just above the Grant House and
bought some clothing, amounting to
eleven odd dollars. He gave the tailor
ten-dollar note, and having no
change. asked him to change fifty
dollar greenback. The tailor went TO
Logan IL LISTS drug store to procure
change, and was told that the bill was
cOnnLerfeit; he returned to his store and
was arguing the matter with his GUS
TONER when officer ScrogginS came
along, and hearing the dispute entered
the store. he propounded several
questions to Brown, whose answers
gave rise to the suspicion that he was
playing a sharp game. Brown
stated that he had been work
ing on farm, near this city, for
three months, but could not give the
name of his employer; and that he had
received this bill from that employer.
He was arrested by the officer and tax
en- to the lookup, from which he tried
TO escape, but failed. The officer then
presented the bill TO several experienced
money men in the city, and some pro-
nounced 1t genuine and some counter
felt. The officer being at floss to know
what TO do, finally, upon consultation
with different gentlemen, concluded to
let the prisoner out of Jail, he pledgtng
himself to appear Monday morning Mt
the police court. He has since vamoos-
ed, which argues strongly against him.
Brown has been living for some time
past in Centre Wheeling, and it has
since been nscertained that his real
name is Dulty, and leaves behind him
several persons mourning the loss OF
divers and sundry debts. The officer
still holds the fifty dollar note.
