Counterfeit Money in Circulation.


recent passing of counterfeit mony
either in this city or JuareZ.
| The spurious coins are all of the de-
nomination of ones or halves and some
of them are almost a perfect imitation
while others are said to be very bed
indeed and capable of being detected
by the most Impractical eye.
Deputy Marshal Hillebrand says that
within the past few weeks several in
i stances have been reported to the fed
eral authorities by persons who had
counterfeit money given them for the
genuine. Most of the money was
passed in Juarez and it is believed
that at least a portion of it might have
been made in the interior of Mexico.
where it is said a counterfeiter's den
was discovered a short time ago in the
mountains of Cnlnuahua.
| The marshal seems to think that
the money was put into circulation
here some time ago and those who
were swindled kept passing it on. No
arrests have bene made and none are
| likely to as the authorities have not
the faintest clue that might lead to
the identification of the counterfeiter.
