NEWPORT NEWS.
MANY COUNTERFEIT NICKELs
IN CIRCULATION.
county.

Newport News, Nov. 24.-The police
have learned that number of counter
tiet scent pieces, or nickles, are in
circulation in the city, and are max
ing an effort to run down the parties
who arc putting them out.
Last evening Chief Of Police Har-
wood found three OF the spurious
nickels in a grocery store at the cor
ner of Lafayette avenue and Twenty
eighth street. The proprietor had
taken them in and did not discover
that they were worthless until he
went 10 count his cash. He turned
them over to the Chief.
The proprietors of the variety thea
tres renort that efforts have been
made in the past few days to pass
counterfeit nickles on them. They
were refused at the box offices and
none were taken in. In most instances
the parties trying to pass them were
negroes.
1t is believed that lot OF this
spurious coin has been put in circu-
1ation here.
The counterfeit nickcls are OF the
regulation size and arc stamped OH
both sides with dies OF correct design.
The impression is very light, however,
and q close examination shows that
the detail is not as good as that on
the good nickcs. All of the coins are
dated 1897. They are q trifle lighter
than the genuine coin.
