Michigan Matters


Mason. Mich, Oct. 9.-Frank and
Kennel Hill, of this city, are in JAN
on a charge of making and passing
counterfeit mony here during the street
fair. A third member of the gang is
under arrest at Lansing on Il similar
charge. Sheriff Porter and a deputy
visited the residence OF the Hill boys
Sunday night and found a pan full OF
hot lead, which was being used to
make the lead nickels. The pan had
Just been removed from the stove when
the officers effected an entrance, but
none of the spurious coin had been
manufactured from the batch. Their
graft was to run off a number OF lead
nickels and then go to the different sa-
looms, pool rooms. etc, and play them
in the slot machines. The officers have
have taken several dollars worth OF
the nickels from the various machines.
The coins are a fairly good imitation
on one side, but the other side is very
crude. The outfit for making the lead
nickels was captured by the officers,
and il is believed that the counterfeit
ers have moulds for making larger
coins. but no trace of them were dis
covered. AS the prisoners were prac-
tically caught red handed at the busl-
ness, they seem to have small
chance of establishing their innocence.
The men are % and % years of age,
respectively, and live with widowed
mother and sister.
