FIND COUNTERFEIT PLANT
Officers of Marysville, Cal., Kail
Private House, Take Prisoners.
MARYSVILLE, Cal., April 28. The
police here, acting on Information ob
tained from the office of the United
States Marshal in San Francisco, have
arrested Tom Crow. W. A. Wakefield
and Fred Foster, three members of an
alleged band of counterfeiters, who for
the last three months are alleged to
have been manufacturing bogus rrfon-
' private residence In thl
1119 ran have been shadowed for
weeks by officers, who last night ar
rested one on a minor charge and found
his pockets full of counterfeit coin.
The officers then went to the Crow
house, where they were met by Crow,
armed with a revolver. He was placed
under arrest, but not before he had
thrown out of the window a bag con
taining over 700 in bad money. The
residence was then searched and a com
plete counterfeiting plant was dis
covered. Wakefield was arrested " without
trouble, but Foster, who was found at
his home, drew a knife on the officers
before he was taken into custody. All
three men are well known here.
One more arrest in connection with
the counterfeiting affair was made thin
afternoon. The man refused to give
his name, but the police have evidence
of his being connected with the gang.
Two more arrests are expected to be
made by the police.
Twenty-dollar pieces bear the dates
of 1904 and 1905, and are excellent re-
r.vuuraons. The 6-cent pieces are
good counterfeits. The $10 and 5
pieces are short in weight, but the de
signs are perfect. All the molds, dies
and the entire plant are now at police
headquarters.
