Thee is afloat in this city counterfeit green backs in denominations of $10, $20""and high as $100. The mon ey has been going the rounds for a day or so. The money Is a Very good imitation, the plates from which it is made no doubt being genuine having been stolen from the government, but the fallacy of the counterfeiters lies in the fact that'the fibre of the paper is dif ferent from the genuine, not having the silken threads interwoven.

LONG, BRADSHER & GO- Gaston Blake, the Janitor of the First National Bank of Durham, is Con victed of Stealing 'Ioney Missed by the Bank Some Months ago and Gets Light Sentence.

Thei court followed the advice of the Solicitor and the lawyers in the case. - The robbery of the First Nation al Bank is well known. This oc curred several months ago. The pay roll of a certain factory had been made out and was ready to turn over to the paymaster. The pay roll was for S3, 600. Among the money were, five dollar bills to the amount of $1,675. When the money was taken out these bills were missing. Gaston Blake was 'the janitor and was the only per son who had an opportunity to steal money , from the mouth of the open bag. Then he bmtsicK-anddid not return .to work. Detectives came here and worked on the case with the result that no one was ar rested but later Blake was arrested on circumstantial evidence. He had been spending a great deal of money and it all looked suspicious. A fairly good case of circumstantial evidence was woven about him. When the case was called to-day he entered a plea of guilty. The lawyers were asked about the extraordinary affair and they said that the State did not have suf ficient- evidence to convict and were afraid to go to trial, and Bjake was afraid of a conviction so it was agreed that the submission should be entered and that the defendent should get four months.
