A StxTY-DOLLAR BILL.
Issued by Authority of the Continental
 Congress in 1778.

Spokane has the only $60 paper bill in United States currency known to be in existence. It was issued at tho first session of the Continental Con- ] gress in IT'S and carries with it all the erudity of that age It is a pecu. liar looking document, being a piece Of greenish paper of much the same material as the present paper money, except that it is heavies. In shape it is almost square, with dimensions Of about 4x312 inches. On one side of the bill is written the receipt, which is as follows: This bill entities the bearer to receive 60 Spanish milled dollars for value received in gold or silver, ac- cording 10 a resolution passed by Con. gross at Philadelphia, Sept 26, 1778." On the back of the bill is drawn a bow 1 with set arrow. Along the margin the value of the bill is again printed, and at one side the words, Printed, Hall &, Sellers, ITS" At the bottom of the face is the signature of someone in authority. The letters have so faded out that 1t is almost impossible to follow the characters. Some have imagined they could trace the sign@. tuFP ot George Washington upon those lines, but others could not imagine what authority he had to distribute money at that date. The rare bill is the property of Otto Fiechtl of the Fieelsl quartet ot the Occur Alene. IL Was presented to him at the Charles ton earthquake in 1886 for the saving tf m Irishman's life. The open hearted act of the big German toward his hereditary enemy so overeame the man from Erin's isie that he cave him the only article of value lie possessed, MT Fiechtl was desir0us of ascertain in3 the tT9'" value of the bi,l and in 1893 sent 1t to Washington. where it was Ee9t for six months while the treasury department investigated ths issuance of the bill It was adjudged legal as the issuance of $50 bills at that time was known to have been made, though this is the only one which has not been returned to the treasury department The piece of money has considerable value outside of the amount upon it's face. The Spokane man now in possession of ths relic has refused an offer Of Sl 030 for 1t, and says uo price could induce hiD to part with it.
