hesive process. OF course the figures
and lettering on the half of the 81 bill
have been changed by some chemical
process to suit the half Of the $40 bili

changes; that is perfect. This bill was
taken In and paid out by q Western

him with the horrible murder which
| lately took place at Shakopee, Mimi,

to solution. 1t is believed that Rem
ington can give information that will
| bring the perpetrators to justice.
