who Stole the Bullion?
OMAHA, October 30th.-The trial of G. r.
Allen, former Union Pacific express agent at
Sidney, on charge of grand larceny, terml-
mated yesterday at Sidney in his acqulttal.
1t will be remembered that some months ago
S122. 600 in gold bullion and a small amount
of currency, received from the Black Hills en-
route East, disappeared from his office in
midday, while he was at dinner. 1t had been
taken through hole in the floor. After some
considerable search it was found hid in coal
pile under the Office, except one gold brick
and currency amounting altogether to about
$4,000. The evidence against Allen was
very strong, but not strong enough to posi-
lively satisfy the jury, who were out about
eighteen hours before coming to an agree
ment of not guilty. The parties who took
the bullion and hid it under the Office in
tended, no doubt, TO come and get it at the
first good opportunity.

Of the secret service, has returned from Chi
cago, where he went to interview Doyle. He
saws the counterfeit United States six per

nomination OF 81, 000 have been hypothe-
Gated by Brockway, Doyle ct al, and some
are now in the hands OF private individuals
or banking institutions in this country and
Europe, as collateral for loans. Upton, act
ing Secretary of the Treasury, says there is
no reason to suppose that any of those coun-
terfeit bonds or coupons have been paid by
the Treasurer, but that they are most dan
gerous counterfeits, and dealers in Govern
ment securities should be on their guard.
