Source OF the Flood of Bogus Money
Found in North Seattie-More
Stockholders Wanted.

Deputy United States Marshal spriggs ar
rested young man named Frank Nooe Tues
day night on suspicion of uttering counterfeit
money. He was placed in Jail for the night,
pending a more thorough investigation Of the
charge, which resulted yesterday afternoon IN
United States Commissioner Emery issuing
warrant charging the young man with manu-
featuring ard circulating spurious CONS
Throughout the western portion OF the state,
particularly in snohoraish and skagit counties,
counterfeit money of the denomination OF
niekels, dimes, dollars and half-dollars, has
been in circulation for nearly two months.
Deputy spriggs has been On the alert iof me
men who are responsible for the bogus coin,
and not long ago began 70 watch Noble, whose
actions were suspicious. The officer Swallowed
the young man for several days. He learned
that he lived in lodging-houie at the corner OF
Fifth ana Battery streets, North Seattle, and for
several nights he watched the house.
Tuesday night about IL o'clock young Noble
went to his lodgings and Deputy Spriggs, accom-
panied by two fellow Officers. was in waiting
near by A lew minutes alter Noble entered the
house the officer followed him. They stealthiiy
opened the door and took him by surprise y his
own room as he was in the act of placing away
some plaster of Paris mplds for the making of
bogus half dollars. He was badly frightened
and submitted to arrest without resistance He
was then conducted to the county jail by one
OF the officers while the others searched the
room. Several plaster of Paris molds, some
metal for the manufacture OF spurious coins
and several dollars in bogus money were found.

evidence today when the prisoner is arraigned
for hearing before Commissioner Emery.
The coins found are gery light anu have a

Der last Balsha's friends say that the letter, ii
1t ever existed, was forgery. Parry VIII not

They still believe that he has been foully dealt
with and robbed, and that his murderers wrote
the letter to conceal their crime.

known, the reason OF his departure is known
John Sargent went to silver City, on the Skyko-

ferred with Mr.. Ruttar, and his visit TO the

examiners-three mine operators, three prac-
teal miners and one OF the present inspectors.
This board is to meet On the second MonGat i'll
January and examine ali applicants Tor the
position OF inspector, and from among those re-
commended by the board the government I'M
InedIa,eiy afterward appoints two inspectors for
the state. He suggested that the best way for
the union TO use its influence in the matter was
TO urge the appointment of a man in whom it
had confidence to act as member of the board
OF examiners and recommended George Parks,
OF Gilman, as good man fof the place.

order for five comforters, some -four rice and
other provisions, and added three hats and
some underclothing. That was all the society
could do at the moment.
Mr.. GreensIade walked the streets of Seattle
through the storm and the wet, aud at $50
O'Clock in the afternoon had obtai ned nothing
more-not even a change OF clothing Tor the
baby. The president OF the ladies' Relief So
eiety had given her letter or two to prominent
citizens, they in turn here letters to others,
Others furnished 4 letter to the mayor, and the
mayor suggested that she go TO the Ladies' Re-
lei Society, as that was the proper source from
which to secure aid for the afflicted.
The result was that after eight or nine hours
Mrs. Greenslsde had gone through seattle's cir
cumlocution office and was no better of than
when she had started.
This case is like many Others which come 10
the attention OF the newspapers. The Ladies
Relief Society has entered protest against in
discriminate charity, and has urged the
benevolent to give their contributions 10
the society and i! will look after
the poor. In consequence the society has re-
ceived what may be considered liberal support
all things taken into account: for Il now has
snug fund in the bank. When such case
comes up as that presented by Mrs. Greenslsde
yesterday, the generous people say: $50 to the
Ladies Relief society! l am subscriber 10 its
fund, and it will help you"
The difficulty, however, is to get anything
from this society. The management deems it
out of the question 10 trench on its funds for
the support OF the unfortunate, and yesterday 8
contribution, though utterly inadequate, is re.
garded as large one for 1t. Some of the sub
scribers complain in strong terms OF Whist they
regard as niggsrdly policy. and declare that
were the society disposed to use what it already
has, the fund, like the widows cruise, would
not fail
All disposed to help those who were burned
out can be satisfied as TO the merits of the case
by calling on Mrs. Greenslade, at LOLA B street
Clothing or furniture may also be left there.
