COUNTERFEIT TRADE DottAR.-We
were shown yesterday a counterfeit
trade dollar which was taken in at the
bar of a saloon here in town. 1t was a
good imitation OF the genuine stove
lid currency, and we'll calculated to
deceive. The ring was almost perfect,
and the only way in which it could be
detected was its slightly greasy APP
pearaiice and feeling when handled.
IL was also a trifle deficient in weight i.
This Is the first piece of bogus coin of
that denomination that we have ever
seen or heard OF in Eureka.
