BOYS SHOWING THE QUEER
Two Brooklyn Lads skilfully
Swindle a Cigar Dealer.
After Passing a Spurious Coin They
Again Dupe the Victim.

The Brooklyn police are looking for
two boys about twelve years old, who
are believed to be passing counterfeit
money. Their arrest may lead to the
capture of a gang OF counterfeiters who
have been getting rid of bad coin in the
city for several months past.
Yesterday afternoon the two boys
called at Morris Keeps cigar store, rs
Flatbush avenue, and after purchasing
a package OF cigarettes, rendered a
quarter In payment
One of the boys returned In about five
minutes and called Mr.. Keeps attention
to the two 10-cent pieces which they
said he had given them in change. Both
coins were lead. and Mr.. Keep at once
gave the boy two good coins for the bad
ones.
A little later he found that not only
were the two Decent pieces spurious.
but the 25-cent piece. given for the ciga-
rettes, was also bad. Mr.. Keep re-
ported the matter at Police Headquar-
tiers this morning.
The coins are all fairly good imita-
tions.
Supt. Campbell telephoned to the
United States authorities in the Fed
eral Building to look out for the
Young Hoyts."
