Madison, 8. D.-The sheriff Of this
county arrested two men accused of
passing counterfeit money. One Of
them had been registered for several
days at one of the hotels as j. E.
Martin, Of st. Paul, Mimi, and is
apparently the william IN the plot.
The other has been here since Nov.
"A, and is known as Paddy Shipman.
He is q professional gambler. While
one of the leading grocers was at
supper Martin entered the store and
bought q nickle's worth of tobacco,
giving q spurious Is gold piece in pay
ment. The clerk made the change
and put the bogus gold piece in the
cash drawer. The proprietor, on
counting over his cash, noticed that
this Is was not just right, and on ex-
animation found it good counterfeit.
The clerk was immediately sent to find
the person who passed the bogus
money, which he did, and the man,
Martin, gave as an explanation that
he got it from party whom he was
backing in q game of poker, meaning
Shipman. Martin was anxious to get
the bogus piece back, but the sheriff
still holds it. It appears that there
are three men concerned in the opera
ton, as another man, not Martin, with
Shipman, came to one of the leading
jewelers. and tried to get q nickle gold
washed, which he declined to do for
them, as the nickle had before been
washed with gold, but had nearly
worn of. It presents the general ap-
