COUNTERFEIT MONEY
OFFICERS DISCOVER COUNTER
FElTlNG PLANT AND
"QUEER MONEY.
DIES AND DOLLARS FOUND BY
CORONER IN VERNA.
BLE'S SHACK.
interesting Discovery Made BY Officers
In Searching Shack Of Jack verna-
BILE Who Died Wednesday-Many
Spurious Coins Found and Rough
Dies Discovered.

Coroner Gilbert, Chief of Police
Ritchey and other officials who made
a search of the hut occupied by Jack
Nernable up to the time of his death,
discovered a complete counterfeiting
outfit, half a dozen dies for making
queer dollars, quarters and nickles.
siXty-five counterfeit dollars in various
states of perfection. and a number of
other accessories to the counterfeiting
business. The siXty-five dollars that
were found We're in an old cloth sack.
hidden among the rubbish. Some Of
them were well made and might be
passed readily. Others were yet in
the rough. with the raw metal adher-
ing to the edges just as they came
from the mold. The entire outfit was
taken in charge by the and
the L.. S. government authorities mott
fed of the discovery of the plant.
The dies We're all hand made, the
only materials Used being pieces of
pine wood, about four inches wide, half
an inch thick and six or eight inches
by a homemade hinge of tin, and
through the other end a nail was driv-
en- that served to keep the two boards
close together when the dollars were
being made. Through the center Of
zach piece of board a hole was made,
evidently whitfield out with a knife and
this was filled with plaster of paris.
Inside the die, when the boards were
| opened out. was a reverse impression
of a dollar, where a genuine dollar had
been pressed in when the plaster was
soft. When this impression had been
made, a hole was whitfield in the side
of the mold. where the base metal
could be poured in and left to cool.
With his crude apparatus a number of
coins had been made. The dies were
found hidden among the rubbish in the
room, Wn1cn was III d TemdTkdDle
state of filth.
About 81 in good money was found
in the room, an old revolver loaded
to the brim, and a number OF other
minor articles of personal property.
The possession of the counterfeit
ing outfit has been suspected by Off
Gals for some time. When Jack wal
sent up for shooting Buffalo" anOthel
negro. several years ago, the Officials
were informed that he had been max
ing queer" money. A thorough
search of the place he occupied a
that time failed to reveal any of tn
apparatus or any counterfeit money.

DEATH OF AGNES BALDWIN
FORMER WOMAN PRISONER IN
PENirENTIARv REPORTED
DEAD At MINNIE.
APollS.

Reported End Of q Notorious Character
Who Was Sent Up For Murder From
Devils lake-eody Goes to the Die
seetine Table.
The following from the Minneapolis
Tribune probably refers to Agnes Bald.
win, who served eve years in the state |
penitentiary for murder: when med
ical students at the university began to
dissect the body of Agnes Tanner
they did not know that they we're op-
Grating upon the body Of a murderess
of a woman with q past. Mrs. Tan.
ner, aged SO, died in solitude, squalor
and poverty at 2434 First avenue
south, and nothing was known Of her
a~ntecedents by the neighbors.
In an effort to ascertain whether the
old woman had any family connections
her effects were examined. Letters
were found that were yellow with age,
but they spoke Of a chapter in the
woman's life that appalled, those who
had known her only as a hard working
scrub woman and common mental.
The missives indicated that at one
time Mrs. Tanner lived in comparative
affluence on a North Dakota farm.
Her husbands name was Baldwin.
She was in love with the hired man,
one Tanner. She wished to rid herself
OF her husband and did so by murder
ing him, according to the letters. In
1892 she was tried and sentenced to
seven years confinement in the peni-
Tertiary. Immediately upon her re-
lease from the p~enitentiary she mar
ried Tanner.
Her case was bitterly fought and she
faced a jury two or three times before
she was convicted. One of the letters
found was from her attorney. advising
her to plead guilty to manslaughter in
the third degree. The telltale letters
were the old woman's legacy to the
world of justice-her body was her
legacy to science"
Agnes Baldwin was for a long time
the only woman prisoner in the peni
Tertiary. She was sentenced from
Devils Lake for murder, the details OF
which were peculiarly revolving. Hel
term expired five or six years ago, ant
she was released. disappearing from
the observation of prior officials.

For an Ideal Vacation.

Nearly every settlement of import
ance in the mountain regions of the
West are deep canyons wherein the
people at home, as well as those from
abroad, seek, in the summer season,
the GOODNESS and pleasure of camp life.
High up the mountain side, on the
shores of mountain lakes, or on the
banks of mountain streams, summer
hotels are conducted for the convent
ence of those who prefer to have all of
the recreation and none of the labor
incident to summering in the noun
tains. IL may be said that wherever
there is a mountain in Colorado or
Utah there is also an interesting can
yOn, and the searcher for a spot in
which to summer will find no difficult
ty in suiting his taste, no matter how
critical it may be.
To enable persons to reach these ia
nous summer resorts, the Union Pa
cific has put into effect Summer Ex-
