WASHINGTON, August 49, 1885,
Another Fraudulent Seven-Thirty Bond Re-
deemed.
The question in relation 10 the alleged counterfeit
and duplicate seven-thirty bonds, some of which
found their way to the Treasury for redemption last
fall thereby creating little sensation among the
Treasury authorities it appears is not eecualy dis
posed of, the whole subject is again presented to
create further complications. On Monday last, it is
said OF these alleged counterfeit 81 900 seven
thirty bonds reappeared at the Treasury Department.
and this time was converted into other Sc
Curlties. This same bond was rejected by
the Treasury last fall, was afterwards pro-
nOunced q counterfeit and a duplicate in number
in New York, and was second time rejected by the
Treasury 1t was presented again for the third time
on Monday for conversion. This time, as before
stated, the unlucky counterfeit met with better
cess 1t was readily accepted and one thousand
dollar tivetwenty bond was issued in Its stead. The
conversion OF this counterfeit is evidence Of the
dangerous character Of some of the spurious bonds
now in circulation. Seven one thousand dollar
counterfeit bonds 1t is said, are now in this city, ana
their existence is known to the Treasury officials. In
1862 Taylor Brothers, bankers in Wall street, New
York, in the OF business received five hun
dred dollar twelve per cent gold note Soon after
wards they sent to the Treasury for redemption and
1t was rejected as a counterfeit and duplicate OF
note which had already been redeemed. The bank
ers not being satisfied with this decision placed the
matter in the hands Of an attorney. About year
after the rejection the note was brought to Washing
ton and exhibited to General Spinner, the Cashier
ana the Comptroller who were not informed Of its
previous rejection, and their opinion as to its genu-
ineness asked Each of them pronounced it genuine
note. The attorney who had the case in charge
thereupon asked them 'If 1t is genuine note why
did you refuse to pay 1t when presented by Taylor
Brothers q year ago ?" This question came uneX-
pectedly, and 1t proved difficult one to answer.
"Why did you not inform US at first that
this was the same note that we then rejectedf"
The officers were held to their judgment that the note
was genuine, and Its payment was demanded. This
was not directly refused, but the payment was de-
ferred from time to time until another year passed.
Finally Taylor Brothers received from the Secretary
of the Treasury check for $500 In payment Of the
suspected twelve per gold note. The gold note,
therefore, after having been rejected a fraud and
its redemption delayed for years, must at last have
been found to be genuine note.
Indian Outrages-Letter from an Indian
Agent.
Special Indian Agent w. ]. Cullen writes to the
Indian Duroou from Fort Benton, Montana, under
date Of July n, enclosing letters which were found
ON the bodies Of seven men who were murdered by
Indians at place called Laubie's woodward, on the
Missouri river, about eighty miles below Fort Haw-
Icy They were buried by Captain Hooey, Of the
steamer Leni Leoti, on the 18th Of July The
names Of six Of the parties were follows:-Henry
Laubie, Of Pittsburg Pa; william Whitaker, Of
Philadelphia; L. Koyser, Of St. Louis; Frank l.. Bur-
ton, OF Lagrange, Tenn; Mr.. Dowdle, Of st.
Louis and O man named Jones, place Of resi-
dence not stated These had been In the country
only few weeks and, II is believed, had never mo-
Tested or inerfered with any of the Indians strong
through that country. Special Agent Cullen had in
vestigaed the matter as fully as possible and was
convinced that the murder was committed by the
AssinabOrries. About two weeks before the date OF
his letter twenty Of that tribe were killed by white
men, which ncensed the tribe, and they retaiated
upon innocent men. The Agent says:-"War having
been commenced by the Indians 1t is impossible to
say where 1t may end unless steps for their pacnca
ton are soon taken,n and he therefore recommends
that treaty be made with them as soon as practical
be or they may give serious trouble to the mail coach
service which is TO be put in operation between
Minnesota and Montana, and to settlers along the
Missouri river There are also a number OF bands Of
Sioux roaming through Montana, who have commit
ted come depredatons and have boosted TO the Crows
that they would commit others before winter. The
Agent also thinks treaty should be made with these.
They are q rowing, boasting class OF Indians, and
their talk and actions may have tendency to disaf
feet the mountain tribes.
