OFFICERS CATCH
 COUNTERFEITERS
Complete Arkansas Counterfeiting Plant Found At Hilltop Crooked Son Brings Father and Mother
 to Ruin

Harrison, Ark, July 30. One of the most important arrests made in this country for long time was made Tuesday by Dep- uty Marshal Hiram Sutterfield, assisted by w. A. Harp. J. H. Blanchard and his wife were arr rested at Hilltop in thls county, and one of the most complete outfits of couuterfeiters' tools and materials found in and about the house and premises.
 There were three sets of dies and as many of molds and several hundred dollars of the spurious coins of various denominations and various metals, blow-pipes, tunnels, milimeter, 140-pound drop hammer, a wise, saws, a quantity of quicksilver, etc.
 pr. L. w. Blanchard, their son, and John Wilcoxson had been ar rested at Huntsville, in Madison county, last Saturday where they had gone supposedly to pass some of the coins.
 When arrested, the old gentle man and his wife made statements admitting that their son had been following the business for some time, but that they knowingly had never passed any of the mon- ey, and claim to have tried to get their son to quit the business. They admitted hiding the tools and materials in order to keep their son from being discovered.
 The son is 42 years old, the father is "A, aud the mother 62. The mother said her son was bright boy and led his class in physiology and chemistry, but that his mind of recent years had been on something of this kind and no advice from her would induce him to quit the business. His knowledge of chemistry has aided him greatly iu the counter felt business.
 ln their possession were found bills from a Chicago house for materials and metals used in the business. The mother says her son has practiced medicine iu Nebraska, Wyoming and Colo rado, but that he never applied for a license in Montana nor in this state. He has bought about 400 acres of land near Hilltop on the Gather mountain aud he is residing there with lis parents, his wife having died some years ago in coming from Wyoming.
 When the old people were first arrested they denied any knowl- edge of the if air but Sutter6eld and Harp kept them separate and hoaily they broke down and told where the various things were hidden. One sack of coin was buried u4der hill of corn in the field, some of the molds were buried in the stable and some of the materials were found conceal ed in various parts of the house and garden, having been cod- cealed after learning of the arrest of their son.
 The old mau and his wife were arraigned before Commissioner Mitchell Wednesday and held in the sum of $500 each to await the action of the grand jury. The old lady had a good bank account and so gave bond and they were re,eased. Some of the coins were hard to distinguish, while some were not good counterfeits and could be easily distinguished. The doctor is a veLtriloquist and has been going through the coun- try giving shows which have the better enabled him to pass the spurious coin. Deputy Sutterheld Is becoming a terror to evildoers.
