COUNTERFEIT MONEY
is FOUND IN JAIL
Sheriff Believes 1t Furnishes Clue to
Source of Bogus Money in
Circulation

Seven bogus dollars and two half dol
lars were found yesterday in the county
Jail by Chief Deputy Metcalf. 1t is
thought that the money was brought in
some time ago when the Jail housed a no
torious character.
The money was not quite finished. but
could be called fairly good imitation
OF Uncle Sans currency. 1t was found
between the top of the Jail and the roof.
and was quite moldy from having laid in
the dampness and darkness for some
months.
A great many counterfeit coins of the
same denomination have been passed in
this city during the last year and upon
comparison it was evident that the pieces
were made by the same machine and in
all probability by the same party or par
ties as those that were put into circula-
ton. The coins were locked up at the
sheriff's office last night With a clue
now in hand the sheriff will attempt to
land the counterfeiters.

JAIL DELIVERY PLOT
FRUSTRA TED YESTERDAY

also one broken blade in the cell of the
two prisoners, Jones and Grassland.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Walter Metcalf
yesterday said: 1.-THE search was com
menced today about 1:45. and a hack saw
frame and five blades were found between
the top of the Jail and the roof, and a
broken saw blade was found In the cell
occupied by Waiter Jones and Grassland.
In Walter Jones part of the cell one
whole bar and half had been sawed into
and in Crossand's one bar was three
quarters of the way through. The two
prisoners were moved down into cells
close to the door, where they can be
closely watched.
I'VE have no clew at present as to
whom the party might be who carried
the saws in to the prisoners. The jail will
be repaired at once and the guards re-
inforced. The saw frame could have been
carried into the Jail piece by piece, as one
can very easily take II apart
Very little was given out yesterday at
the sheriT's office concerning the at
tempted escape. though 1t is understood
that others than the men who have been
convicted and sentenced to death would
have profited by the attempt had 1t been
successful. The search yesterday took In
the whole Jail and lasted for three hours,
but nothing save the six blades and the
frame were found.
