watch out for counterfeit mon-
ey'' is the warning that is being sent
to every town and city in the north
west. Business men. especially lodg-
ing house keepers and saloon keep
ers are advised 10 carefully Inspect
all IS and $40 gold pieces that are
offered them. The counterfeiters
have operated in several cities and
towns and are now on their way to
Pendleton and eastern oregon towns.
They operated in the Dalles Satur-
day and the day before, and letter
describing them and their habits had
been sent TO the Sheriffs office Sat-
urday night The force is on the
lookout for them. They were thought
TO have bought a ticket from The
Dalles as far as Umatilla but it is
uncertain where they will stop.
The band is a most skillful one and
for some time past have issued coins
of the coinage of 1901. Their spuri-
Gus gold pieces have been passed in
a number OF cities and they have
succeeded in scattering thousands OF
dollars of the bogus S5 and SO gold
pieces over the country in spite of
the efforts of the officers.
The Oregonian says that in Port
land a great number Of unsuspecting
victims nave been caught, but just
how much bad money has been pass
ed Steve Connell, secret service oper-
q l. f1 a
way in which the complaints are
reaching the office of the secret SER
vice agent, it can be estimated that
fully 5000 worth of these small coins
are in circulation.
The coins are so cleverly made that
only an expert can detect them.
Those that have been passed through
a number of hands are more easily
detected because the counterfeiters
have not plated the coins any too
well. There are a few slight blem-
ishes in the mould in which the coins
were made, but even these defects
can hardly be told without the aid
OF strong magnifying glass. Another
way to distinguish the counterfeit
from the real money is by its weight.
1t was not until several days ago
that the coins began to appear, but
just how long the gang who circulat-
ed them has been at its work, no one
Is able to determine. Most Of the
reports so far received come from
owners OF small lodging-houses and
saloons where the counterfeit coins
have been passed either in payment
for lodging of for drinks over the
bar. In some instances the bad pieces
of money have found their way into
the general trade, having been
passed innocently by those receiving
them first.
As near as can be learned, the
gang Of bogus money makers has
been operating all the way from San
Francisco to Seattle. Every effort to
get a line on the members Of the
gang has so far failed 1t is the
opinion of the secret service operat-
i've that those who came to Portland
did not stay more than day or so,
but while here they were extremely
active.

MI. Trumbo is a heavy realty owner
in the eastern part of the state. He
visited Rapid City few days and be-
came impressed with the city, the
country and the climate. In all his
realty holdings thus far in the east
ern part Of the state he has shown
himself to be OF the sort to make i'm

He came to South Dakota in the
spring of 1862, settling in Vermillion,
Clay county, where he remained for
several years. Since then he has been
a factor in the development of Bon
Homme and Charles Mix counties,
and is now interested in Pennington,
Stanley and Lyman counties. He is
of the sort who investigates section
of country carefully before investing
and then assists to the best of his
ability to develop it. Such citizens
are an acquisition to any community,
and Rapid City posed the require
mentS to suit him.
