BILLS ARE BOGUS
Two Men Held on CHARGE of
Passing Bad Money

Capt. Lawrence, secret service officer,
returned from Bull, Mimi, where. he
had secured the arrest of John Lorden
and Ray Ferguson, two alleged coun-
terfeiters.
The two men were arrested last Sun
day under advice from the secret serv-
ice by the marshal at Bull. 1t is
claimed that they have been flooding
the northern part of the state with old
state bank notes of the New Bruins
wick IN. j. bank. which We're issued
during the wildcat currency times
In the custody of Capt. Lawrence,
Lorden and Ferguson were taken Fri
day to Virginia, Mimi. where, after a
preliminary examination before United
States Commissioner Bourier, they
were held to the federal grand jury
which meets in Duluth In July Both
prisoners were committed in default of
$1,000 bail.
From the thousands Of notes of this
particular bank which have been pass
ed all over the country for many years,
IT is probable, think the authorities,
that the dies used in the manufacture
OF these particular notes are in the
hands of band of counterfeiters who
make 1t their business to furnish this
bogus money to their agents.
All of this character of counterfeits
are in So bank notes. They are well
executed and calculated to deceive any
one but experts. The texture of the
genuine bank notes is closely counter
feited by pasting two thin sheets of
paper together with a soft glue, which.
after it has been handled and crumpled
up, closely resembles the feel" of legal
notes.
