case of showing the queer" is report
ed from Carroll. 1t appears that u
deluge of crisp new 50 bills suddenly
appeared in town, many merchants
taking them in the course of bust
ness.
Examination developed that tho
bills were bogus, though apparently
issued by state bank in New Jersey,
long out of business, and bearing no
signature. Thee parties passing bills
of this sort were apprehended, giving
the names of Patrick Flahine, John
Kelley and Con sullivan. The alleged
criminals were brought before JUS
tice Lynch, who thought it Proper to
hold the parties until the grand jury
could go more fully into the matter.
1t is the general impression that a
gang of ''green goods" men has been
sailing railroad hands with this stuff
at discount. The government agents
have been notined and detectives will
be placed on the case.
