More than 10000 counterfeit silver
dollars have recently been put in cir
culation in Nebraska and western
Iowa by a gang Of counterfeiters
whose headquarters are in Omaha.
The outlaws practically established a
mint right under the nose Of Uncle
Sam. These coins contain the same
amount of silver as is placed in the
regular dollar by the government.
These men have simply started an OPP
position to the government, and their
money can not be detected from the
genuine. They are making money fig
uratively and literally. It is said that
they realize ffty-o one cents profit on
every dollar they turn out. So clev-
erly have they worked that the cash
drawers and banks Of Omaha, Council
Bluffs, South Omaha and elsewhere
have been the receptacles Of thous-
ands of these home made dollars. 1t
