Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom OF Illinois
groped his way into the sub-basement
of the treasury department recently,
bearing under his arm small, fiat
package. says a Washington CORE
spondent of the Brooklyn Eagle He
made inquiries for the Office Of the re-
demption division, explaining that he
had some old money which he wanted
to exchange for new.
The senator placed the package on
the desk of the chief clerk, and drew

bank director in Dixon, Ill. l brought
it here unopened. | received a letter
stating that the package contains mon
ey that was found last week in the
rafters of an old building in Dixon.
The owners believes that about $1,000
is represented in the package, but he
is not certain as TO the amount.
While the curious clerks crowded
around, the strings of the bundle were
cut and the wrapper removed. An
old Fourth reader was brought TO view,
and opening it a mass of crumbled pa
per of a gray color was seen. 1t look
ed more like bits of dried and pressed

DECAYED BILLS AMOUNTING TO $1,000
FOUND IN ATTIC AT DIXON REDEEMED

Il wouldn't give 80 cents for the lot 4"
remarked an on-looker.
I'D give $500 for it without any
hesitation" replied Miss Brown, the
expert of the redemption division. Her
experienced eye had already identified
several notes of large denominations.
although there was no piece larger
than a silver dollar. Investigation
proved that the money must have been
in its hiding place for more than a
quarter of a century. 1t was appar-
ent from its condition that the rain
and dampness had not touched it. and
that dry rot was responsible for its
deterioration. 1t was gray with age
and much of it was reduced to powder.
After Miss Brown had worked over
the mass for half an hour she had fish
ed out sections of four notes of 500
each, and three of $50 each. There
were dozen notes of SIS and $40 each.
and great many more that have not
yet been identified. But so far 81 300
have been brought to light The de-
bris was found to contain some of the
first United States notes ever issued.
bearing date of 1862 and 1868. Some
of the first silver certificates issued
were also identified.

Hay Appeased Mexico.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April Ia
Publication Of official correspondence
discloses the fact that through the
failure Of a Mexican citizen to obtain
satisfaction from the authorities OF
Cameron county, Texas, for personal
injuries, a serious complaint was
evoked from the Mexican govern
ment against the Texas authorities.
The story follows:
Sulogia Zambrano, a Mexican citi.
zen, pawned a rife at Brownsville,
Texas, belonging to a citizen Of that
town, was arrested, and while being
taken to jail attempted to escape,
and was wounded by Private McKen'
zie, Of the Texas Range force.
In a note 10 Secretary Hay, the
Mexican ambassador at Washington
made a formal complaint against the
Texas authorities on account OF the
slight respect they usually evlnce5 fol
the lives and interests OF Mexicans
residing on this side OF the border.
Secretary Hay offered $500 indem
nifty, and this was accepted.
