SI'IRIOIS COIN
FLOODS GERMANY
BERLIN. May S.—The enormous
increase of paper currency in Ger
many has enabled counterfeiters to
flood large parts of the country with
spurious bills. It is estiuiated that
gangs of criminals have made several
million dollars in this way. Recently
six men and two women were tried,
convicted and sentenced to long prison
terms in Breslau for curculating bo
gus ten mark (2.50) bills. At the
trial the members of the gang con
fessed that their harvest during the
last six months has amounted to more
than four hundred thousand dollars,
but they refused to tell where the bills
were made and the counterfeiting
plant could not be discovered by the
authorities.

Illegal Hunting
Yesterday morning a wounded wild
duck was found on the lot adoining
the Frye-Bruhn market. An attempt
was made to catch it. but it took ref
uge under the building. The indica
tions are that the bird had been hurt
the day previously, and that someone i
had been engaged in illegal shooting.
A number of shots were heard Sunday
east of town and it is known that
there were a number of ducks and
geese over there on the flats. It may
be well for hunters to remember that
the season for hunting game birds is
over and that shooting ducks and
geese at this time of the year is likely
to result in the shooter being consid
erably out of pocket.
