A S5 Raised From a So Note.

New YORK, June "A forged
S. bill has been discovered among
the bills taken in at the Twenty
sixth Ward bank at Brooklyn. 1t
is a So treasury note Of the series of
1891, transformed into S. bill.
1t is said the Chicago police have
been on the look out for several
months for a person who passes
such raised bills, but that this is
the first as far as known that has
made its appearance in the east.
The skill and time employed in
making this counterfeit, 1t is said
by the employees Of the bank,
would hardly be compensated for
by the So gained. There are four
changes in the bill. The large
figure 2 at the left hand side Is
made into 5. Another figure s.
takes the place Of the 50 in the
lower left hand cornered and the
word give" replaces the word
"two" in the upper corner. A
similar change is made on the face
of the bill.
