A FLOOD OF COUNTERFEITS ,
Quantities of Bogus Money in
Circulation at Bollevue.
SEVERAL PERSONS VICTIMIZED.
( The Evidence Strongly Pointing to
the Existence of a Due-Out
Mint Hoavey'8 Pom
pous Pretenders.
Dnjz-Out Dollars.
Down at Bellevue , nearly immediately un
der the stars nnd stripes , and while the rifles
of Uncle Sam's standing army were thunder
ing at rifle practice , counterfoil coin was be-
intr made and circulated not half a mile
away.
For months past the sleeping villagers
about Bellevue college have had passed upon
them coin of the denomination of dollars ,
halves end quarters that they found to bo
counterfeit , but-tho occasions were so rare
and far bctwcon that they thought It came
about only in "the regular course'of trade ,
and made'no complaint.
Last Friday the men at the range received
their pay nnd that nljfhtnnow gambling
house was opened by n soldier. In a dug-out
safely hid among the ravines that surround
the camp. The place was well patronized
during the evening by the soldiers , and it
' was onsorvod that three or four men outside
Of the service wore also present
Play ran hlsb , nnd at times the stakes were
unusually large. The strangers In civilian
clothes took part throughout the evening. It
was daylight when the gnmo broke up , nnd
reveille was sounding as the last man loft
the dugout.
After breakfast three or four of the en *
listed men strolled down to the "Canteen , "
the camp saloon , , nnd ordered drinks. The
bartender took in $1.23 in silver. After the
men left tbo saloon the keeper had occasion
to look at the money again and noticed that
H was unusually light. Examining it more
closely , ho found it to bo counterfeit.
The illicit cola fairly poured Into the bar
that morning , and a count being
taken , $337 of the stuff was found.
The men reported the matter to Col
onel Bonham , the camp commandant ,
and received instructions to keep a careful
lookout for any. civilians with the stuff Iu
their possession.
On thu following day , Saturday , a tall ,
angular , countriilod appearing individual
appeared at the "canteen" and offered ono of
the dollars in exchange for a glass of beer ,
detlrlay the change. An orderly was uls-
patehM to Colonel Bonhnm's quarters , and a
few hrates later the man was arrested. He
'was found to boVio McCarthy , un individual
well known to the police of Omaha nnd the
authorities ol Sarpy county. Ho has figured
in a number of shooting scrapes , and it Is
charged that he has killed two men during
his career. The prisoner was placed in the
guard tent and hold there for several hours ,
and In too meantime Colonel Henry came to
the city and repotted the case to the
United States marshal. On some technical
ground that ofllclal refused to take action in
the matter and the prisoner was released.
Yesterday a reporter visited Bellevue and
called upon the postmaster ,
"lluvo.you had any counterfeit money of-
ered you recently ! " asked the reporter.
> "Yes , sir , 1 have had several counterfoil
dollars ottered me. The flrst tune I noticed
any of them , " bo continued , "was about a
year ago , and they have been coming in at
intervals since then up to about a week ago ,
and then they stopped. The last I had of
fered me were by a soldier from the rauge
and a Mrs. Smith. The latter said she got
the money from the ranee. "
'Do you know any young man here named
McCarthy ! "
"Well , yes. There are four boys , named
Ike , Vlo , James and John. "
What do they do for a living ! "
At this a young lady olerk behind tbo
counter mailed most audibly.
"Well , said tbo postmnstor , they don't
work us hard 01 some of us , but they job
around 01100 in a while. "
At the camp canteen the man behind the
> ar said ho had scon many of the counter-
'olt dollars , and had had them protTorcd him.
! t was his opinion that the mo my cumo from
the "dug-out" under the hill.
Colonel Ucnham was' seen and showed the
reporter several of tho'pieces. . Ho said :
"This fellow , Vic McCarthy , whom wo
lad under arrest , gave ovcry indication of
being guilty. Ho was pale and trembling
while under arrest ana was rather shaky in
liis explanation. Ho 'has boon n terror to
Sarpy county for years , and I understand he
bus killed two men iu uii day. "
There are only about 540 of the stuff in
camp , and it is understood that the re
mainder is in circulation in the city.

How Soavey'a Pompous Pretenders
Imprison Innocent People.
Captain Green was asked concerning the
statements made In Tun BEU yesterday , as
follows ; .
"What about the case on North Sixteenth
street printed in TUG BEK , wherein it was
stated that Officer Murphy arrested Bernhard -
hard Molir Instead of the burglar who was
hiding in the closet ! "
"All that I have to say about that is that
Officer Murphy is a special officer employed
D.V the Missouri Pacific railway , and his mis
take cannot bo charged to mo. "
"How about the case of James Hodges , who
was employed by the board of park commis
sioners to curt away some rubbish , and who
was violently thrown down in the Jail ana re
lieved of his pocket-book ! "
"That is the flrst I have heard of any violence
lence being used by the officers upon Hodgos.
I agree with you that an officer is not war
ranted in using violence iu searching a 'pris '
oner , and I will iuvcstigato this case and
give you the facts. "
Captain Grocn was aeon later and then
said the jailor , on watch at the time of the
al'iegea assault upon Mr. Hodges , denied
that any great violence was used. That Mr.
Hodges refused to give up his pocketbook ,
which the police wanted to put in the safe
for him that ho might not bo robbed in the
cell by "bo-bos. "
"How about the case of C. C , Blller , who
claims to have been fleccod out of several
pounds of tobacco and a number of boxes of
cigars which ho had in his trunk , and which
was rilled by police officers ) "
"Thoro were no cigars in Billcr's trunk
and not more than six pounds of tobacco all
told. Ask Jailer Uobout about it , he was on
watch at the timo. "
Jailer Bebout said that there was only
about six pounds of mildewed tobacco in the

Brad. Slaughter's Opinion olthe Work
of the Convention.
"Very good , indeed , " replied United States
Marshal Brad1 Slaughter , to an inquiry re
garding his opinion of the work performed
by the state central committee at its recent
nicotine.
"Of course , they have arranged for a big
convention ; bigger , I thought , than coula bo
easily wielded. But it seemed to bo the will
of the committee , and that is all right. "
'What was their idea in desiring to have
800 delegates present , instead of a less number
bor ! Isn't this rather an off year politi
cally ! "
"It's an off year all right , but there is a
reason for the action. They were afraid
that the question of prohibition or something
like that might como up , and 'they ' want a :
full vote. "
"Well , but it was the follows.from the
country , who insisted on a big convention. "
"Admitted , but they wore only'acting ' for

THE BROTHERHOOD'S CHIEF.
Will Mr Arthur Be Galled to Succeed
Himself.
A special telegram from Chicago In THE
BEE yesterday morning relates that con
siderable discussion is goto ? on in the order
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive 'Engineers
at present , and that there is a possible chance
of the organization dissolving. The reasons
given are that the recent strike on the Bur
lington resulted so unsatisfactorily that a
majority of the members have lost confidence
in the society and , further , that a large num
ber woo are opposed to Arthur' * re-oloctlon
are so fearful of defeat that rather than free
him again chosen they would bolt , prefer
ring not to remain under his control.
A Union Pacific engineer , who Is as a matter -
tor of course , a member of the brotherhood ,
in speaking of the matter , remarked that
while the report of dissension was true , he
thought the picture a little bit overdrawn.
Ho did not think there was any danger of tha
brotherhood going to pieces. While' there
were many members , especially in tbo west ,
who had suffered from the recent strike , ho
inclined to the belief that , under a now
leader , the present condition of affairs could
bo greatly changed , and that by proper ef
forts the unemployed men could bo pro
cured situations. The election this fall
would be a bitter fight , as Arthur , had many
friends in the east while the west was solid
against him and in favor of Vroman , with
the exception of the Pacific coast which bus
a candidate in the person of Vonnor , a
Southern Paclfio man. As ho is from
such a remote western point , it
is believed that be will withdraw
early in the fight and that the final struggle
will bo between Vroman and Arthur , Tn6
former has a splendid record and his recent
success in the difficulty between the Union
Pacific and the engineers on the Leaven-
worth division is a crcat card In his favor.
Regarding the co-operative union plan , tbo
engineer stated that ho understood that to bo
merely federation of the various organiza
tions of railroad employes , and not a mixed
association. A body of tbut kind would btt
ono of great power and influence. But for
Arthur's opposition such action would have
been taken long ago. Arthur bad persist
ently adhered to tbo motto , "No entangling
alliances with other trades , " and , by so
doing , had greatly crippled the order. It
was that policy that lost tbo B. & M. strike ,
because the organizations which once asked
from and was refused help by the brother
hood was the first to put the knife to the
Burlington engineers.
