certificate which hal been so plastered
by the substitution OF figures taken from
internal revenue stamps as TO raise its ap
parent value to s. The other was a
two dollar greenback raised to a five.
The deception was cIeverly and ingen-
iously carried out, and only close scruti-
ny would reveal the fraudulency of the
job. Fine working scamps are evidently
at work in Rock Island, and people

value received. 1t was not until the bills
