Green Goods Men Captured.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, March 7-Postofice
Inspector Stuart yesterday made an
important capture of green goods
possession, besides their bogus bills,
$685. 900 in good money. Three men
were arrested. Their satchel COLI
tanned $4,000 in good money, and
was also captured. The prisoners are
Charles Herd, alias Vogel, ST., f. Gray,
alias Voge, jr, and Frank Smythe
Inc capture was the result of a clever
ly laid plot. For two months past
the mails in this section of the coun-
try have been flooded with green
goods circulars. Last week deputy
lnarshals were sent to Arkansas,
where they placed themselves in COM
munlcation with the operators. An
appointment was made tor Chicago,
and the two deputies, disguised as
country men came to Chicago. The
capture followed. The two deputies
registered at the Atlantic hotel. Here
they were met by Herd, who was in
formed that the Arkansas visitors
the state rights Tor the discrimination
of the goods. An agreement was
finally reached, and as result a meet
ing was held yesterday at the Hotel
Delaware, on Cottage Grove avenue,
near Sixty-third street While the
men were haggling over the terms a
signal was given and the doors were
burst in. An exciting struggle en-
sued, during which revolyers were
pulled, but the men were finally over
powered.
