in the course OF a day or SO reached Glei
Station where 1t was discovered to be
counterfeit dollar.
Mr.. Burbapk's clerk soon discovered
the counterfeit dollar in his employer
ttill and the coin was traced to younl
Dinsmore. He was sent for and redeemed
this coin also but was accused of passi ne
the bad money and suspected OF making
these dollars himself when the postmis
tress story became known. IL all tn,
young man had passed eight OF these
dollars. all of which have been recovered
and are now In possession OF the United
States officers.
Knowing that he was suspected and
fearing arrest young Dinsmore hurried
home, broke up the other dollars which
he had coined and threw them with the
moulds and the whole outfit through a
hole in the chimney. Then he went to
his teacher at the academy and made a
confession OF the whole transaction. The
United States District Attorney at Port
land was informed of the matter and q
warrant,was issued for Dinsmore's arrest
Friday night the United States Marshal
here photographed Deputy Sheriff Sterling
of Fryeburg to arrest the young man
and he was taken into custody early Sat
urday forenoon and was turned over to
Deputy Marshal Norton Saturday fore.
noon about eleven o'clock on the arrival
Of the morning train from Portland.
Dinsmore told the officers how and
where he had made these dollars and told
them where they could find the counter
feiting outfit. They went TO his brother
in-law's house, took out three or four
bricks from the chimney and recovered
the three moulds for the dollars, the two
five cent moulds, the mixture from which
the coins were made and the whole para
phenslia. Had not Dinsmore told them
of the hiding place of this outfit 1t prob
ably would never have been found
One by one the dollars which Din smore
had succeeded in passing were recovered
and are now all in the officers possess
sion. Dinsmore was brought to Portland
on the eight O'Clock train on Saturday
night and locked up in Portland Jail.
ne is u very stuuious appearing, ulIu
and quiet young man. He bore
his arrest in philosophical manner and
told his story in a straight forward way
without an attempt at evasion. Only once
did he show evidences Of breaking down
and that was when he was approaching
the Jail with Deputy Marshal Norton.
Then he shed few tears and seemed to
realize for the first time the serious char
acter of the charge against him. Dins- |
more attended Rev DIR. Abbott's church
regularly. DIR. Abbott was with him |
Tor time on Saturday and will come to |
Portland ON Monday to visit Dinsmore |
again. Dinsmore will be arraigned in
;hs United States court on Monday at o.
!. III. before Commissioner Bradley.
The people of Fryeburg are inclined
% believe that young Dinsmore had a
confederate in this business who Is more
,uilty than he. The young man will not
Idmit that he had an acoomplice but
many think IL strange that he should of
lis own acoord manufacture this :. bad
Money In such u scientific manner with
nut some outside assistance.

Fryeburr was stirred to its veryldephths
Saturday by the arrest in that town of
Avory Dinsmore, 20 years old, student
at the Fryeburg academy. by United
States Deputy Marshall b. o. Norton.
Dinsmore was charged with making and
passing counterfeit coin. The story of
the struggles of this young man 10 secure
an education, his industry and hard work
at the academy, his excellent reputation
and his recourse to counterfeiting silver
collars to pay his way through school,
has given the people of Fryeburg enough
to talk about for a month at the very
least

an ambition for his children, and a
reputation for square dealing and upright
living which Is we'll known by all who

lie wanted to study medicine and has
for two years past been attending the ex-
cellent academy at Fryeburg where he
was gaining the foundation for bis medi-
cal studies. At Fryeburg, Dinsmore
roomed at the house of his brother-in. law
and boarded himself. In his room he had
a stove and by bringing some provisions
from home and purchasing the rest he
cooked his own meals and here pored |
night and day over his Latin and Greek |
AT the academy he stood well towards the |
top of his class and vas held |

counterfeit money recipe as means o
rendering further assistance to those whit
had read the earlier pages. At any rat
young Dinsmore found this recipe In th,
book and all at once he decided to try
counterfeiting money as method oil
relieving him from his difficulties.
Dipsmore obtained some lead and tir
but the other material mentioned in tn,
counterfeiting recipe he could not find In
Fryeburg. Then he got some plaster Of
paris and taking a silver dollar of the
coinage of 1888 he made three moulds.
The moulds were of ingenious construc.
ton and showed remarkable ability for
so young and inexperienced boy. He
also made two moulGs for five cent pieces
but though he made few coins of this
denomination he did not attempt to pass
any of them. Melting the lead and tin
on his stove young Dinsmore proceeded
to coin dollars. He made twenty of
them in all and the product was very
good imitation of the real article.
The dollars Of Dinsmore's coinage of 10
parts of lead to one part of tin. this ratio
being used because IL seems to be the
proper thing in making bad money, were
"a little lighter in weight and little
darker in color than the dollars Of Uncle

were perfect the young man only using
u file to fashion into shape that portion
of the dollar which showed where the
liquid had been poured into the mould.

coin would not be carefully serutinized

Having made twenty of these dollars
The young student took one of them and
sailed forth just on the edge of the even

office.
The post mistress had gone to supper
and left in charge of the office her sister,
who knew young Dinsmore, as did all the
people of the town. The young man
game into the Office and purchased a
stamp giving in payment one of his
dollars. The girl gave him
the change for 1t and he departed.
shortly afterwards the postmistress came
% the office. She at oncs noticed the
inll hued dollar in the till and taking it

The postmistress's sister remem bered
