Jonas Minoi was attacked by crazed
bull and ii vas only by the timely in
tervention of other men who were
nearby that the mans life was saved
The amman was a yearling with
horns, and at the first blow had Mr.
Minot down and ready to gore him.
A blow over the head stunned the
brute and gave Jonas an opportunity
to get up, but just how he did this
he cannot say, for things happened
too rapidly. He thought his arm was
broken, but examination disclosed no
fracture, but many bruises that will
be very sore for a time. AS an evil
dence of the condition of the animal,
it is said that he soon gave up and
in about'a a half hour deliberately
died.

FLOOD OF SPUR.
|0US MONEY
OUNTERFEITERSA ARE TURNING
OUT A LARGE SUPPLY

Washington, d. c., June I'm
paralleled activity of counterfeiters
throughout the United States since
the signing of the armistice is caus-
ing the treasury department and the
secret service, which is charged with
the responsibility of suppressing this
crime, great concern. w. H. Moran
chief of the secret service, today said
that since November, 1918, there had
been more counterfeting in the Unit
ed States than in the same period at
any previous time.
Most of the cOunterfeiting has been
in $40, $40 and $50 federal reserve
notes, which represents millions of
dollars in American investments.
The counterfeit stamps. it is said,
appear genuine in every particular.
and in some instances the spurious
currency is made of better materials.
such as paper and dyes, than the
money made in the government bu-
reau of engraving and printing, the
nations big currency printing plant.
Just how serious the treasury de-
partment considers the outbreak of
counterfeitisNe was shown by Repre-
sentative James w. Good, of the
Fifth Iowa district, chairman of the
house committee on appropriations.
THE head of the government secret
service" Mr.. Good said, has dis
covered that there are two counter
feits of the war savings stamps that
are being circulated now.
These countarfeits are so perfect
that the postmasters, who are under
the law given authority to redeem
these war savings stamps, cannot tell
which is the genuine and which is
the counterfeit. A person desiring to
surrender or cash his war savings
stamps is now required TO give ten
days notice so investigation can be
made"
Chairman Goods amendment pro-
viding the secret service with $375,-
GOO to cope with the counterfeit evil
by employing experts TO detect the
spurious currency and seek to appre-
hend the counterfeiters, was incor-
porated in the urgent deficiency bill.
A number of counterfeit reserve
notes have cropped out in the Second
federal reserve district. They We're
printed from lithographic plates
without the silk thread. Spurious
silver dollars also have appeared,

money and stamps. Some of these
bogus dollars have fallen into the
hands of government agents, who
found that they were of / per cent
of silver, and the rest aluminium.
There is a slight defect in the IN" in

BUSINESS BODY
.TOBESTRONeER
FOR THE FUTURE
Retail Merchants Association De.
cides at Meeting TO Increase
Its Usefulness.

At a meeting of the Aledo retail
business mems association held at
the city hall last light it was de-
cided that Christmas week would
be observed by all except grocers
and butchers by remaining open
each evening until Saturday. Christ
mas eve, when all stores will be
closed. The grocers and butchers,
however. may decide to remain
open, for the convenience of ~
irons, at Saturday morning.
At last nights meeting the resig-
ma ion of L. e. Newton as president
of the association, was accepted.
Mr.. Newton was rendered a vote of
thanks by the organization for his
work during the last year. Mayor
S. B. Bolton, vice president OF the
association, will act as president
until the annual election. A nomi-
mating committee is to be named by
MIR. Newton.
Various subjects Of interest to
Aledo business men were brought
up at last nights meeting and dls:
cussed thoroughly. Chief among
these was the problem Of main
tanning the business mems associa-
ton as live organization and
building it up to a higher degree of
efficiency. Sentiment Of the meet
ing was in favor of greater efforts
in enrolling every Aledo retail mer-
chant as a member of the associa-
ton, and it was decided that dues
should be collected Immediately
from the various members, both for
the past and coming year.
A report on the activities Of the
street sprinkling committee was
submitted by Thomas Hartman.
The report caused much pleasure
among the members present, it
showing a considerable surplus in
the treasury of the committee. 1t
was also decided at last nights
meeting that Dan Stanton would be
maintained at work upon the clean
ing of city streets throughout the
year. In the past it has been the
custom for the man in this capacity
to work from March l to Dec. l,
but in view OF the excellent service
Of Mr.. Stanton during the summer
and the fact that during the win
ter Aledo streets are often in need
of attention, the business men pres
ent voted unanimously to have the
city maintain Mr.. Stanton at his
work the year around.
Considerable praise was accorded
members of the road oiling COM
mittee which so successfully put
over the extensive program of road
oiling undertaken by the central
county road oiling committee this
year.
1t was the sentiment of the asso-
citation members present, although
not expressed in a motion, that
should Aledo's fire department be
called upon to go out of town in
order to save lives and property
that the local fire fighting organ
ization should respond, providing OF
course that part of the apparatus
remain at home for any eventually
that might occur in the confines OF
Aledo.
