Sheriff Wilson was here yesterday
and reports that Carl Rabbit the snpN

the young man arrested on the charge
of making and passing counterfeit
money, had been arrested in London
derry and was waiting in the custody
of officers there. Rabbit is only 10
years of age and was recently a guest
for several days at the home OF Mears.
II was not decided up to last night
what should be done about their case,
but as there is law on the statute
books that gives state officers cogni
zance over certain crimes against the
United States, it is possible that the
state may take charge OF these. Mears
was taken before the municipal court
Monday, pleaded not guilty to the
charge preferred against him and was
held in the sum Of $1,000 until next
Monday. It is probable that f. c..
Archibald will be selected as his
counsel. Friends OF Mears we're here
yesterday in the Interests OF the young
man.
