i 2bey, -1 — p—— —— E OMAHA DAILY BEE THIRTEENTH YEAR. BISMARCK'S BLACK EYE. The Capitol Removal Business Knocked Into @ Cocked Hat by the Courts of Daketa, Judge Edgerton Bounoes the Com~ missioners as an Illegal | Body, with Costs, Yankton Jubilates on Seccuring a i Hard Fought Victory, Yankrox, D. T., September 16, full text of the judgment of the courtin the quo warranto case against the Capital Commissioners was made _public to-day. Judge Edgerton, of the District Court, after aflirming his jurisdiction in the premises, recites the legal service upon each of the defendants and their duo ap- pearance and answer to the complainant, shrough their authorized attorneys: ““That the case was regularly called for trial at the July (1883) term, whereupon plaintiff, by " its attornoys, duly moved for judgment on said plead- ings, and by consent of said parties in open court, both of said mo- tions were theroupon tried togother.” After mentioning various attorneys hav- ing argued the case before the court, the decision continues: ‘The court being duly advised in the premises, overrules said motion for dofeneants, ‘and grants and allows said motion for plaintiff, It is therefore urdered and adjudged that said defendants, each of them bo and are hereby forever ousted and excluded from said office of commissioner mentioned in said act, in the complaint described, and frem all franchises and privileges named, enumerated and included therein; that'| plaintiff have and recover of defendants the sum of —— dollars’ costs allowed herein.” The effect of the decision is to keep the capital at Yankton unless the Supreme Court should otherwise order. It will take throe of the four justices of the Supreme Court to reverse District Judge Egerton's decision. Therefore the quos- #ion is looked upon hore as practically sottled in favor of Yankton. BISMARCK'S MERRIMENT. Bismarck, D. T., September 16.—The decision of Judge Edgerton, ousting the Capital Commission, causes more merri- ment than fear here, pending the decis- ion of the Supreme Court of the Terri- tory and of the United States Supreme Court, where the capital removal bill will surely be taken by one side or the other. The Commissioners will continue to act and have full control. This fact leaves Bismarck quiot and confident that the act of the Legislature repealing that chapter of the political code which fixed the seat of government permanently at Yankton will finally be sustained. The eontractors of the capitol building called on the Commissioners to-day and as- sured them that they were ready to go on with the work, which will be pushed to eompletion before Christmas. ——— CAPITAL NOTES.

The Border Line Crossed by the Refugecs An Expert Gang of Counterfeiters in 01d Mexioo, A Bonanza for the Detective Fra. ternity, Denver News, ] The far Wost is fast losing its distinet ive characteristic of being the place of refuge for the fugitive eriminal of the country. American oivilieation has apread with such rapidity that the places of refuge where the fugitives were wont to hide themselves are now for the most port reached by railronds and telograph wires, public sentiment has undor- gone a very material change. This, however, has in no way DECREASED THE NUMBER of criminals in need of & place of refuge, and has only served to drive them from the country. Canada_served in a meas. ure as a place of relief for defaulters, but the country was not of the kind suited to the ordinary desperado who flourished so ably in the West. The ex teadition laws were also trobiblesowe to t classes of criminals who went to +oll nmong the Canucks, A new field has been found, however, which supplies tho place of THE PARADISE VACATRD by the desperadoes of the West. This is Old Mexico. It was in the natural order of things that Mexico should furnish the DAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17, obstacles in the way. He wished to re turn with his life, and felt that this would be an impossibility if he tried to take away any great number of tho criminals, Then, toe, there would bo a difficuity in getting a requisition, and besides the counterfeiting gang would be given notice of the presence of a detec- tive and of the fact that the government is on their track. He declined to give away either of the names of the notable criminals, choosing rather to keep the information for his own benefit. | — STATE JOTTINGS, 8t.

The home of the desperado, like the Indian and buffalo, has moved away as civilization has advanced and Mexico was of course the only stepping off place left when even New Mexico and Arizena had become too highly civilized to peacefully ondure his presence. The country bordering between the United States and Mexico, chiefly on THE OTHER SIDE of the line, is said tobe full of fugitive criminals who pursue their operations with seeming impunity 1t is claimed LKAQ the United States authorities have been troubled for some time by the operations of a gang of coun- terfeiters who have located themselves in the country described. 'Chey are, of course, Americans, but they confine themselves to Mexican soil, only sending agents into tho states to put in circula- tion the counterfeit money which they manufacture. Their lpplflnoul for the counterfeiting of bills and coins are said to bein advance of any previously de- vised. Their organization issaid to bo perfec- tion itself, and to render interference from THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES a matter not thought of, For some time past the government secret service detectives have been puz- zled to account for the manufacture of the large amount of paper and silver counterfeit money in ecirculation, no plates or other molds lpim‘;ound in the Ppossession of parties arrested for passing the bogus money. Ordinarily it only re- quires close enough tracing in the neigh- borhood in which the bogus money is put in circulation to discover the plant of the counterfeiters, but out of many cases of arrest on this charge in the past two years this could bedone in but few gases, and in these the spurious money SHOWED TRACES of being made by bungling amateurs. Large amounts of bills were found to be in circulation which defied the shrewd- ness of the ordinary bank employe to do- tect. How the plates which the counter- feiters use came into their possession has puzzled the officers beyond their powors of guessing, and the conclusion usually arrived is that they wero genuine plates which had been used in the government service. This conclusion was all the more forcibly impressed upon their minds by the discovery that every slight flaw or imperfection which could be discovered by the most powerful glass on the face of GENUINE BILLS could also be seen in the same way on the counterfeited ones. The numbering was of course wrong, but this fact could only be of nse to ex- perts in dutecting the bogus nature of the bills, For some months past the secret ser- vice agents have been kept on a keen jump, trying to discover the onigin of the counterfeit money. This was by no means confined to bills, large amounts of bogus silver- and gold coins being found in circulation, almost perfoct in their construction. These gencrally con- tained an amount of gold or silver, as the case might be, ulighlfi in excess of one- half of the amount which they ought to contain, They were of A BUFPICIENT THICKNESS to make up for the loss in weight on ac- count of using the debased motal and preserved the correct width, This render- ed their detention a matter of compara- tively raro occurrence, the ordinary coin detector not regarding the thickness of coins, They are found to be almost wholly of rather old dates and appearance which had the effect of throwing people off their guard to a great extent. They were of different dates, '65, 68, 73 and ‘81 bo- ing favorite dates. Tn some way, which has not yet been mado public, the government léarned or was led to suspect the true locality of the gany. WHICH HAS BEEN DOING such a profitable business, Agents of the seeret service were dispatched to Mex and for some months have been d in studying up the situation One of these has just returned from the border country, and stayed fow days in Denver whilé on his way east. From him it was learned that the sus- picion of the government was well founded, and that it will be a matter of but a few days when the gang will be ar rested under a requisition. This detec , in conversation with a News reporter, stated that the number of American fugitives from justice who have taken refuge over the border is something surprising. There are criminals of all classes, many of whom have RICH REWARDS offered for them. Tt was a sort of crim- inal Eldorado for him, and if he could uul{ bag all of the noted fugitives whom he found there his fortune would be made beyond question.
