Made Bad Dollars.

Reports OF bad silver dollars being
passed in the northern part of the
state have been frequent for some
time past, but il seemed impossible
to get a clue as to who circulated
them. Suspicion fell on woman
named Smith. who lives on farm
with her husband near Woodville.
When Deputy u. S. Marshal O'Don-
nell arrived at their home the couple
Indignantly denied any knowledge
Of bad money.
O'Donnell made a rigid search OF
the house and finally pulled down the
pipe Of the parlor stove. Running
his arm down the pocket of the chin
ney he found a tin box which con
tanned s33 of bad silver dollars be
sides 81 in good silver money. The
bogus dollars are made of a babbit
metal and are light in weight as well
as being little greasy in appear
ance.
A counterfeiters kit was found
including the babbit metal the stuc
co, for making the molds, and every
thing except the dies. The pieces arc
bad counterfeits and would not pass
at banks or places where ordinary
care is taken. One was passed on q
Pere Marquette conductor, two in
Woodville and one In lille.
The couple were brought TO Wood
vile and arraigned before II. s
Commissioner Potter. They will be
held to the March u. S. grand jury
The Smith woman got her husband
from Canada through a matrimonial
agency.
