'I ' I ( Special to 'l'he 'l'ribunc.Con ) -
; I- Ridcrable interest was awahenel
I in this section last week by thc
I report that thc government secret
\ ,
. service men had unearthed at thc
t" .
' homc of a farmer east of town
some plates which had ( been used
i in countcrfciting. Later reports
indicatc that this part of the state
I from Omaha down and on to St.
' ; f Joseph thc business men have
11 . often , come in contact with these
, ' billsand dcvclopmcnts are await-
. cd with intcrcst. No arrests
have been made , it being claimed
thc officers arc waiting in order
to find who were thc accomplices
of thc farmcr. Both ten and
twenty dollar bills were counterfeited -
fcitcd by thc gang although the
. plate found was for a twenty dol-
lar gold certificatc. J : qcrts re-
port it an excedingly clever coun-
tcrfeit and the average business
man could not detect it from thc
. , . original without a careful exam-
. _
ination.
