Fourteen counterfeit fifty cent
pieces and five bogus dollars were
found by Aubrey Norman, small son
of Arthur Norman, near the Norman
farm Just west of Huston Heights.
The coins were but poor limitations.
They were found in an odd position
all being set up around the base OF
a large weed alongside the road.
They had been in the place where
they were found for some time, and
it would be difficult to hazard a
guess as to their origin.-Observer,
