GAVE HIMSELF AWAY.
Joseph Banks Gets Drunk and
is Found to be a Coun-
terfeiter.
A Number of Coins and q Fifty
Cent Die Found on His
Person.

The officers got in their work In pretty
good shape last night. In the fore part of
the evening man was seen upon the streets
pretty we'll under the influence of liquor.
Last night he was in saloon on Second
street and said he had ust got out of the
Penitentiary. Nothing was thought about
the matter, however.
When the proprietors closed up at II
o'clock young man offered TO show him
10 hotel to keep him from being arrested.
The two went to two different hotels on
Main street but both refused to keep him.
This seemed to enrage him, and he wanted
10 fight his benefactOr.
An officer was near and took him In
tow. He resisted and the officer called
for help. When the second officer arrived
he was taken to the calsboose. Here he
was searched and the officers found that
they had made quite haul, better in fact,
than plain drunk.
Ia his pockets were lhirty-nine counterfeit
6ve-cent pieces dated 1854, two counter
ieit ten cent pieces, and a plaster OF Paris
mould for manufacturing 6fty-cent
pieces. The mould was of the date of
1877. There was also a bottle of some
kind of liquid, and receipt for making
three different sizes of coin. The town IS
doubtless flooded with the counterfeit
money, as he hes been spending it freely
ever since he arrived. The dies for the
smaller coin were not found.
He also had pardon from the Jefferson
City penitentiary, dated August 80, which
showed that he had been released yes
terday. His name Is Joseph Banks and he
was sent at the April term, 1882, of the
Barton county circuit court for burglary in
the second degree, for term of three years.
He either made the dies in the penitenti-
airy or else some one gave them to him, for
he did not get out until about noon yester-
day. The general supposiiion is, however,
that he belongs to gang of counterfeiters,
who are located somewhere around this
county.
His clothes were new from head to foot
. he was rather good looking, although
his face was pale from his long confinement.
He will get chance to serve term for
Uncle Sam now.

All About a Dog.

A few days ago Marshal Barnett receiv-
ed postal card from one w. w. Wright,
of Huntsville, this stste, asking that a
lookout be kept for four men in a wagon,
as they were suspected of having stolen a
very fine red Irish setter, the property of
the writer of the card. The watch for this
particular wandering Tray was duly estab-
lished, but not until yesterday was any tok-
en- of successvisible in the horizon. The first
hint that there was q probability of the
dog having arrived within the pale
of the jurisdiction of the police of this city,
was given by painter, who told Officers
Kelly and Gossage that four men and a red
setter dog were at Hughes g. Harris livery
stable. Thither the officers went, and were
at once satisfied that the dog owned and lost
by Mr.. Wright was before them.
The men positively refused to give up
the dog, but he was taken by the officers
and locked In a cell at the station house,
and telegram was sent to Mr.. Wright.
The men protested that they had bought
the dog in Ken ucky, but this remains to
be verified. They gave their names as w.
I. Helpenstein, who claims to be the
"boss." z. w. Hawkins, William Kisssl
and r. A. McIroy. They say they are

A False Report.

There was rumor current last night
that a quite prominent K & I. engineer
had slipped an eccentric by slipping away
from his spouse with one who bore the
name of brother throttle puller. The ru.
NOR was rather definite at first, names, and
date of flight, having been given. But like
the ugly reports of the adolescent escapades
of the two opposing candidates for the pres.
idency, there were several holes in the fab
ric, through which truth percolated like
wster through seive. The alleged truani
couple were found, each In their respective
domiciles. with not even the shadow of q
skeleton in the closet. And thus white
robed truth puts to flight black visaged
falsehood.
