DEFUNCT BANK NOTES BOB UP
worthless Paper IL Passed ON Persons
I'm Omaha ana Council
Hluffs.

Captain John Webb of the United States
secret service recently recovered several
old state bank notes that have been passed
upon unsuspecting parties in Omaha and
at Council Bluffs. The banh notes are Of
the vintage of the old Georgia state bank
era, and the New Brunswick notes. The
Georgia bank notes are the issue of the
Merchants and Planters bank of thirty
or more years ago.. They are of the IS and
so denominations. The notes in each in
stance have been split and the front and
back are the same. The maker of the
split note has ingeniously interviewer silk
threads between the layers, Masking the
deception difficult to detect. While the
notes are not actual counterfeits, they are
bad money. from the fact of being the
issue OF defunct state banks. The New
Brunswick bank note is so well known as
to need no description. Many OF them were
put in circulation here several years ago.
The denomination of those now in circula-
ton are usually IS or $40.

that the people were voting for popular

showed him that among the demonstrators
at the show Miss May Root had $40 votes,

EXPERIENCE COMES HIGH
Young Woman Robbed and Deserted by
Nan She Was to Wed.
ANOTHER CASE WHERE LOVE IS BLIND
Wretch Wins Heart, Then Gets Money
and Starts with Woman,
Ostensibly to Marry
in Omaha.

A glaring case of misplaced confidence
was brought to the attention of the officers
at Union station Friday morning when
Miss Belle Mckinney of Buffalo, N. Y, ar
rived, minus her future husband and her
money and asked the officers for aid in
finding both.
Her story was that fine looking chap
giving his name as Harry Satelle and
claiming to be a rich man from San Fran
cisco, made love to her in Buffalo and won
her heart and the promise of her hand
Satelle was in hurry to get to San Fran
cisco, so he showed Miss Mckinney where
they could make time by marrying at
Omaha. which was Just half way across
the continent Satelle was two months in
wooing Miss Mckinney, but he finally
gained her consent and they started west.
Mr.. Satelle told the fair one what tough
place Chicago was and how thick the
thieves were and thus induced her to let
him carry her money. amounting to over
$500. while she kept s35, which she did not
turn over to him. In Chicago she went
shopping for a hat and was to meet Sa-
telle at the depot. He was there and got
her a ticket to San Francisco. He excused
himself to arrange for her baggage and
said he would ride in the smoker while he
finished his cigar That was the last Miss
Mckinney ever saw OF Satelle. After ar
hour or so she missed him and searched this
| train, but the bird had flown, She con.
cluded to come on to Omaha, as he might
have missed his train and would surely
! follow on a later train.
Thus the heart-sick maiden waited a.
Union station Friday morning until the
next Milwaukee train arrived from Chi
cago. but no Satelle was aboard. She APP
piled to the Milwaukee officials who re
deemed her ticket from Omaha to SaI
Francisco. and this gave her suficien

Louisville on Aug. IL last. Inc cere-

The fact of the marriage is known TO

of promise suit against Duryea, which
had hung fire for some time. That two

been married in Louisville and no one
be the wiser until five months had
passed shows how carefully the secret
was guarded.
1t was said by friends that the mar
riage was kept secret because of Miss

the actress for many years, and it is
said that the marriage is the culmina-
