Danvilie, Feb. Nv. ID. Lowder
early on Sunday morning put into
operation deep-laid scheme for
thwarting the "dollar-bill trick" which
has come to be a very valuable method
In the rounding-up OF blind tigers. AZ
recounted in these columns some time

lice, taking a dollar bill the number
of which is written down. and buy
ing whiskey with II from the suspect.
The police walk in after the sale and
find the man with the marked note.
which Is taken as prima facie evil
dence at the ensuing trial. Conyic-
tons are generally secured on such
cases.
Police Officers Martin and Harris
at six o'clock on Sunday morning
paid a visit to the home of w. d.
Lowder who lives on River Road, not
far from the concrete bridge. They
planned wording the marked-bill trick
on the man. and they say that they
succeeded. for they iclaim to have
actually witnessed the transaction
seeing the stoolpigeon pass the money
and get the whiskey and some change.
When the officers marched in to put
Lowder under arrest he was toe quick
for them and he crammed the greasy
note into his mouth and began chew
ing IL. The officers claim that they
were not very anxious to get the bill
back, for they said they had clear

sale of whiskey through the window
of the house However, they aske
Lowder to give back the bill, but the
old man went on quietly chewing II
and they could not get IL. being un.
