Trie St. Cieorgerestaurant, the Elite Cany Kitchen and Hlng Lee, a Chi narrmn, are nil mourning the patron age of a stranger who was In the city Tuesday night and while here passed bogus greenbacks upon each oi tne above named. Each or -the bills passed was of Il denomination and they were all old Hate bank notes which had been Is sued before the civil war. The one taken at the Elite Candv Kitchen was upon some state bank In Florida while the one passed at the St. George was ur.on a bank In Georgia. They are supposed to have all been redeem ed many years ago. This Is the sec ond time at least that such money has been passed here, some similar bills having been passed two years ago. The Identity of the man who pass ed the bad money Is not known, but it is presumed he was a transicot and that he left town Tuesday night l or on the following day. i It was about 9 o'clock Tuesday eve nine that he appeared at the Elite : Candy Kitchen. ,. He made a 5 cent i purchase there and handed the $10 ! bill to Miss Abell, the cashier. How I ever, her suspicion wns aroused by the peculiar appearance of the money and she refused to accept It. She ! and the man were still discussing the ; matter when Mr. Young, the proprl ittor. entered. He then accepted the ; hill, thinking it was good. On pre senting It at the Savings bank the ' follow ing morning It was refused by ; Fred Schmeer. assistant cashier. Later on In the day the other victims learn ed of their misfortune. The bill passed at the St. George ' restaurant was given the night wait ress Tuesday evening. Consequently It is possible that the swindler left on the westbound train after having made a raise here. While at the Candy Kitchen the man said he was working for C. C. Sharp and that the. bill had Just been given him by his aunt. In talking with Mr. Young, he said he had got ten It from his mother. The fellow Is described as about 28 or 30 year of age, dark complexioned, smooth haven and weighing about 145 pounds. ! Immediately after learning of the affair the sheriff's office began upon a search for the man, and It Is hoped he may be located soon. Shipping Work Horses Westward. Mr. M. V.
