' 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.
