GANG OF C0UNTE ERFtlTERS
Ran Into a Deputy Marshals Arms at Gull
 man.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Decatur. Feb. 19.-There came here to- night from Cullman, Ala, on an important quest, United States Deputy Marshal Thos w. Baker. Bakerhas just run to earth portion of a gang of dangerous counter feiters, who have been operating in this and Culman counties for some time past
 The deputy was in a saloon at Cuilman yesterday and noticed two men enter and face the bar. They ordered drinks and began to spend considerable money, and finally became very boisterous in their conversation, talking about how much money they had, etc. Baker saw that much of the money they were spending was counterfeit, ard it was but the work of a second for him to clap the bracelets on them. The two men were jailed in Cullman. The deputy withholds their names, as the officers are tracking others of the gang. From a word let drop by the deputy, it appears that the men ar rested are well known in this section, and one of them, at least, is man of some notoriety.
