Counterfeiters and a Clock Stopped Times
Secret Service Agent Harris returned to the city after about two weeks in Washington and Oregon chasing counterfeiters flooding the region with bed paper money. He tracked the gang to Whatcow, Wis., and Tacoma where one suspect was arrested, others released for lack of evidence. Also reported are a jeweler’s clock stopping at 5 05, a glass half dollar, a $10,000 bequest to a bartender, royal coffins in Paris, and various crime and industry notes from across the country.
