CONTEMPLATING
A1ERICAN COINS.
Mexican Money Changer Has Been
Imposed Upon.

Mexico City, June 1.-THE po-
lice of the city of Puebla have dis.
covered that a money changer OF
that city has been deceived by a
client who on two occasions has
induced him to change American
silver dollars for Mexican money,
giving premium of SO per cent in
Mexican silver. The dollars were
cOunterfeited here in Mexico and
the individual suspected of being
the chief promoter of the counter
feiting of this foreign coin is Jose
FriaS, who is thought to have left
the country via Vera Cruz. The
dollars deceived the money
changer completely A man named
Samuel GrOsberger was the per-
son who sold the dollars, receiving
them from Frias, and GroSsberger
has testified that while he was not
sure the dollars were cOunterfeitS,
he suspected it. The money chang
er now demands that GrOSberger
refund the money paid him for the
false American coins. Every effort
is being made to find out where
the dollars were made and If M o.
have been passed. The police sus-
pect that business has been carried
on extensibIy.

McLain, A. M. Raines, John Williams.
In determining the route of this
road there are many reasons why it
should come by Dawson. Besides the
large volume of railroad business, both
freight and passenger, that is done
here the road would touch other towns
of more commercial Importance on this
route than it would by building farther
north; one hundred per cent. more of
the territory is unoccupied by rail-
roads; it is about as short as any route
the road could possibly take, and the
cost of construction would be at least %
per cent. less. 1t would traverse COM
paratively level country, whereas if it
goes through the counties north of us
there will be many mountains and hills
to grade.
Dawson is going to make a strong
effort to get this road, and with all
her commercial and natural advant.
ages has every hope of success. The
building of it by here would be to the
mutual advantage of the city and COM
pany.
1t is going to be built, and it is a
matter of business that Dawson should
secure it.

Mr.. B. M. GROSS DEAD.
And His Wife Is Expected to Live But a
Few DAYS.

Sundays Macon Telegraph publish
ed the following from Thomson telling
of the sad death of Hon. B. M. Gross
and the serious illness of his wife.
Mrs. Gross is daughter of Mr.. M. G..
Statham of Dawson, and spent several
weeks here last summer:
Thomson, Ca, Jan. 19-Judge Ben
iamin NJ. Gross died Friday night af-
ter long illness of consumption. He
has been in failing health for quite
while, but kept up attending to his
many business interests until two or
three weeks ago, when he grew worse
and has since been confined to his bed.
His wife has been almost at death s
door with the same disease since last
September, and many, many days her
friends expected her death at any hour.
But she rallied, and when Judge Gross
became so i'll and Respondent a
week ago she gathered up all her
remaining strength and by sheer force
of will went in his room to see him and
to cheer and encourage him to be more
hopeful. Two weeks ago no one
dreamed that she could outlive him,
and now her family and friends be-
lieve he has preceded her only few
DAYS, or perhaps hours,t to the grave. 1t
is peculiarly sad case and the family
has the sympathy of the entire com
munity.
Judge Gross leaves a wife and
three children. He was an energetic
business man, practicing law here for
many years, kind, devoted husband
and father, a member of the Metnc-
dist church and a Mason. His remains
will be laid to rest here this morning
at II O'Clock with Masonic honors."
