THE TRUTH our.

Reported That Real Perpetrators or the
Hurley Robbery Have Been Cornered.
OSHKOSH, Wis, Sept. 25.--An evening
paper Of this city says that the truth Of
the Hurley bank robbery is at last out.
The real perpetrators of the daring deed
have been cornered by the United States
Express company, with the aid Of Ed
Baker, who is now serving sentence in
Waupun for connection with the rob-
berry. They, have paid back all the
money and therefore will not be prose-
cuted. Baker will be set free as soon as
possible, as he had no part in the rob-
berry, but knew all about it. The article
gives no names and leaves much to
inference.

A Boys Attempt to Cheat the Treasur,

Speaking of the redemption of paper

cation was made the other day to the divi-
sion of the treasury which has this business
in hand The story as it came out was as
follows:
An ingenious youth employed to sweep
out New York bank devoted attention for
u considerable period to gatheringsp the
crumbs from the tills in the shape of cor
ners and other bits of notes such as get
torn off and fall about in any place where
dollars are counted. In the course of time
he got together q quantity of scraps of the
sort sufficient to fill a pint measure, and
he sent them on to the redemption bureau
at Washington in n box, with the explana-
ton that they had been eaten by mice.
He stated the amount at $500, and asked
for new bills in exchange. His little game
was betrayed on the face of it by the fact
that the pieces forwarded represented, if
anything. not less than $1,000 The usual
affidavit was demanded from him, swear
ing to his loss; but he had not thought of
that requirement and lacked the nerve to
