DENVER, Aug. 22.-Three counter
fciters were arrested IN the Windsor hotel
shortly after their arrival today. One
came from Chicago. one from Santa Fe
and the other from Cincinnati. The
United States secret service officers have
been aware of their counterfeit work n
New Mexico and that they would o
flood the United States and Mexico with
bogus s., so and $40 gold pieces.
Deputy District Attorney Gage unearthed
the secret of the gang by joing them. He
reports that the gang consists of residents
of Chicago, New York and other cities,
and they were in constant communica-
ton with counterfciters who were man
uf6cturing some good coin as feelers.
The bogus stuff was to be made of chem
zeal material which was warranted 10
wear one year and sold customers at the
rate Of $1,000 for twenty four pounds.
Preparation Of which coins
were to be made Lad large
percentage of gold. Manuel LAMAR
leader OF the gang registered at
the Windsor house at noon
oday and was shortly afterwards
met by two accomplices. While they
we're discussing the prospects Gage, who
was in Lamair's room, gave the signal
and the officers with drawn revolvers cap
tureu the men. When arrests are made
in Chicago other cities the police state
they will give full information concern
ing them. Considerable materigf and
some money was captured. Sons of the
money was tested at the mint and pro
bounced pare gold.
