BOY FINDS
BOGUS COIN

SEATTLE, Sept. 2.--gWrapped in a
dirty cotton cloth. / $40 counterfeit
quarters were found under the wharf
near the foot of Washington street
yesterday. The counterfeit money,
amounting to $400, was turned over
to Chief of Police Delaney, and will
be taken in charge byf Captain Bell
Of the United States secret service.
The quarters are almost perfect,
except that they do not have the
correct ring. They haze the proper
weight and are very well made
The find was made by a small boy
named White. who liveg at 1926 Sew
enth avenue. He realized that he had
unearthed something big, and started
to count his fortune. He was not
sure whether the quarters he found
were good or not, and proceeded to
apply a test. He took one of the
coins and cleaned it 10 so that it
looked like a new quarter.
With this he went to the carnival
grounds and passed It ap to a ticket
seller. He received the ticket and
10 cents in change, and immediate
ly thought the money good, as he had
passed it.
After seeing the sights at the car
niyal the boy went home and told
his mother of the find he had made.
She at once realized that the money
was counterfeit, and notified Chief
Delaney The chief secured posses
sion of the coins. It is believed from
the condition of the money and the
cloth in which it was wrapped that
in had been there for several months
at least. There was rothing near
where the money was found to give
a clew to its owners.
