A POSSIBLE DEN OF COUNTERFEITERs.
 Charlie Weed and Doric Perry were out on last Wednesday morning after trailing arbutus in the woods below South End. While climbing ledge of rocks they discovered in crevice in the rock some tools which on investigating they discovered to be two burglars iimmys and two dies for counterfpitng and a piece of spelter which was used in their work. At that time two Italians came along and called to them and they being afraid ran with the tools and took them to the Town clerks Ctllce. Chief Tom linsOn immediately visited the spot and aftcrward put chase for the Italians but did not find them. He afCerward took the outfit and went to Bridgeport and consulted with the pc lee there, and ef- forts will be made to tiace out if possible the miscreants. One die was half dol lar of the year 1893 and in a place near by where the instruments were found was place where there had been fire and in pokng among the stones and ashes genuine half dollar was found and more of the metal.
