1t Is a wcll-knONn fact that a gang Of
cOunterfeiterS have for several years had
their headquarters on the confines of Cam
hria, Indiana ana Clcarfield counties. Each
succeeding COurt-week and on other prOmi-
nent occasions, at each cOunty-Seat, large
quantities Of the bogus coin are showed, to
the detriment Of hOtel-keeperS and mer-
chants. This, we say, Is q well-llnOwn fact.
But it may not he so well known that inside
this comfy, near the Indiana line, is an arti-
hciaF cave followed III hillside wherein
much of the bogus money was at one time
made. This cave having been under the
surveillance Of police detectives for several
months past. it was Of necessity abandoned,
and late visit thereto by a certain officer of
the law resulted in the finding of nothing
But We are reliably informed that had the
search beeu prosecuted further and without
going many miles away from the cave, big
bonanza OF crime might have been struck
The dies used in the manufacture of the bO-
gus coin are known to have been located in
one of our northern townships inside one
month preceding this date We are not cSpe-
cially in the detective business, but we throw
out these hints for the benefit Of those who
are. The utteTing Of base money is an un-
mitigated evil to the business community,
and has been tolerated entirely too long
and if what is known as the ''Mardis gang
is not extirpated either by the pistol or by
the pcnitentiary, then police officials of the
JnIted States government are not keeping
due watch and ward over the interests of her
people.

WHO KILLED SAMMY HUNTER.-Gr0ss
Perjury OF Gross fRjUStice-A special Pitts
burgh dispatch to the New York World fur
nishes the following in TegaId to the recent
brutal murder at Br8ddOcks, III Allegheny
connty:
About month ago q hoy mined Sammy Hunter
was murdered at Braddock, ten miles from here
His body found the river twenty minutes af-
ter he had been seen at a stable 300 yards away
The body carried from the stable 70 the river in
broad daylight. within 100 yards, Of the Edgar
Thompson Steel Works. where three OF four hun
dred men were at work. negro hoStler named
Theodore Gross and two men named McI-ain and
GiSel were arrested on suspicion. Gross made a
confession duplicating McIain and Gisel. He
said he was standing at the stablc-dOor and
McLain strike Hunter with a shovel and knock
him down and then pound him on the head and
face with the shovel until he dead. Gisel. he
said, assisted Mcl-alu TO put the body in grain
bag and carry il 10 the river. Cross story
corrOborated in some respects and discredlted in
others. II was proved that he could not nave seen
the murder at all from the stable-door. but he
stoutly adhered TO his account and the Grand Jury
indicted GciScl and Mcl4ain for murder and Gross
as an accessory after the fact The trial. which is
expected TO off in short Time has been eager
ly anticipated. Last night hearing that some
visited him in his cell and was told by Gross him
self that he had lied in saying McIain and tftsel
Hything he has said they did and he did not know
who guilty Of the crime. He said that Coroner
after the arrest and asked him To tell what he knew
He replied he knew nothing and the Coroner turn
ed to the lailor and told him to let Mcl1ain and
GIScI out and send them home. adding: we II
hang this fellow here for the murder" Gross per
sisted in saying he was innocent, and then Coroner
Thomas said I'm a good boxer and if Won don't
Gross says this scared him that he began to cry,
and then told the story about McI4ain and Giscl-
to him. This amended confession has aroused great
Indignation against Coroner Thomas Some be
bribcd but the general opinion is that Gross him
self committed the murder.

WHERE Is LEAR's OPINION In the
month of January,ast, when the question was
whether Mr.. George B. Stineman was pos
Sessed Of the legal right to occupy at one and
the same time the Office of Postmaster of
South Fork and the Office Of Auditor of Cam
bTia county, the former being a United
States Government appointment, and the
latter an elective Office rendered by vote of
the people, all this time. Article MI, Section
of the New Constitution being in fun force
and effect, q telegram was sent hence to the
Hon. George B. Lear, then Attorney General
of this state, at Harrisburg. The tenor of
this telegram was an interrOgatOry as to
whether Mr.. Stineman'S POStmasterShip de
barred him from going in as a member of the
Auditor board. An answer, cOuched in legal
phraSeOlOgy. is understood to have come back
from the Attorney General instructing Mr..
Stineman to assume his place a. d member Of
that Board, and guaranteeing to him that no
power could or would OuSt him therefrOm.-
On the strength Of Mr.. LeaT's dictum, Mr..
Stineman, under protest of Mr.. y. J. FTeid-
hOf, now eX-TreaSuTeT, took part in the an
nual settlement of the county receipts and
expenditures last January, The question of
compatibility came to a head before his honor
Judge Dean last week and the determination
was of course in accordance with the pro
visions of the Constitution. The Offices Of
Postmaster and County Auditor We're dis
tinctly declared to be Incompatible. Now,
what we would like to know is-Where is
this tcleCraphic legal opinion Of the defunct
Lear? 1t is in keeping with his whole life,
for where he could possibly make a wrong
decision, no one looked for one based on
sound principles of law. But as a curiosity,
it should be preserved. Somebody in this
town has possession OF it, and we should
like to see il forthcoming.
