AVERY NATURAL MISTAKE
JACK GASWAY GOT CHANGE FOR A
$50 CONFEDERATE BILL.
Tells Police He IL So Used to Notes Of
that Size that He May Have
Made an Error.

Jack Gasway, sS East Washington street,
was arrested last night by Patrolmen
Woodward and Larsh and slated at the
police station on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses.
Gasway, it is said. while riding nome on
a West Washington-street car with his
friend Amos Tomlinson, on Saturday night,
asked Tomlinson to change a $50 bill for
him. Tomlinson gave Gasway $50 in change
and tool the $50 bill and placed 1t in his
pocketbook without noticing it particularly.
Yesterday morning he found the bill was
Confederate currency and absolutely worth
less. He looked mis- friend Gasway up and
told him about the bill, but Gasway refused
to return the $50 and Tomlinson caused his
arrest.
At the police station last night Gasway
said that he had so many $50 bills i'm his
pockets at all times that he was unable to
tell where he had got the one he gave TO
his friend Tomlinson. The turnkey at the
police station said that Gasway had about
so cents in his pockets when he was placed
in his cell.

vALPARAIsO's ECONOMICAL MAYOR.
Saves the City Money and Strengthens
His Candidacy.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
VALPARAISO, Ind, Sept. GA new de-
parture in municipal Improvement was be-
gun here to-day when the Grand Trunk
Western Railroad shipped to this city forty
carloads of gravel to be used free TO i'm
prove the several highways leading TO and
across the company's property. The city
is now beyond the constitutional debt limit
and is without sufficient funds to carry on
the needed improvements. Mayor w. #.
Spooner wrote to the general manager of
the Grand Trunk notifying him of the city's
financial condition and the immediate at
tention demanded to the streets. The
Grand Trunk promptly offered TO furnish
the gravel free providing the city paid for
the labor. The offer was accepted and to-
day the manufacturers in this district do
mated their teams and services of many of
their employees to improve the streets. Thus
the city has secured several thousands OF
dollars of repairs at practically 10 ex-
pense.
Mayor Spooner, who thought of the prop
osition, is a candidate for reelection and
this step at debt-saving has more than
strengthened his candidacy. The work will
continue all next week.
