CoUNTKRFEITINa. One Levi Liv-

this county, and man who is quite
respectfully connected here, was al

This man Livingstone is q worthless
vagabond. who bears o most unsav-
ory reputation, and as he had been
loafng around town with no visible
means Of support. and a. he had
plenty money. it was supposed he
was indulging in some ways that

ing the wind. On this supposition
Thorndyke has been shadowing him
fer some time, aud last evening, his
suspicious being confirmed BY the
actions Of the. man. he arrested him
in the neighb6rhood Of Woodward's 3
warehouse, where he was engaged
in a spree with some Of his Siwash
chums. In his possession were
found q number Of counterfeit half
dollars, and the Siwashes reported
that he had freq uently changed gold
pieces Cor them, giving them in
change pieces of this nature. A
search warrant was taken out, his
house was searched. and q large
amount of counterfeit money found,
sufficient to clearly establish his
guilt. His case was mp before JUS
tice Snyder this morning. but was
dismissed for want Of jurisdiction.
He was rearrested and taken before
US. Commissioner W. II. Andrews,
where he waived examination and
was ordered to give bonds in the
sum of SIS, 200 to await the action of
the next grand jury. In default of
bail he was committed to Jail. The
counterfeit money is of a miserable
description, being simply of lead.

that so much of it had got into cir
culation, as has turned up since the
prisoner was arrested, nearly every
in town having taken in
three or four of them in the last
few days.

GUARD AGv1NsT FIRE. Too much
care caanot be taken to guard
against fires in our wooden towns.
The Tacoma Herald tells the follow
ing, which should be a warning to
us in Seattle: Last evening, as
gentleman was crossing the street
between the tin store and Halstsad's
hotel, his attention was attracted to
q aight on tho sidewalk opposite the
livery stable of Murphy & Rigney,
and upon approaching it he found
that it proceeded from keg con-
tanning ashes which had probably
been placed there in the belief that
it contained no fire. The fire was
already sufficiently kindled to pro-
duce quite blaze, which. but for
the timely discovery, might soon
have developed into an extensive
and alarming confiagratisn.
