The Evidence Strongly Fointing to the Existence of a Dug-Out Mint—Seavey’s Pom- pous Pretenders. Dug-Out Dollars. Down at Bellevue, nearly immediately un- der the stars and stripes, and while the rifles of Uncle Sam’s standing army were thunder- ing at rifle practics, counterfeit coin was be- ing made and circulated not half a mile /WAY. For months past the sleeping villagers about Bellevue college have had passed upon them coin of the denomination of dollars, halves &nd quarters that they found to be counterfeit, but the occasions were 8o rare and far between that they thought it came about only in ‘the regular course of trade, and made no complaint, Last Friday the men at the range received their pay and that night s new gambling house was opened by a soidier, in a dug-out sofely hid among the ravines that surround thocamp. The place was well patronized during the evening by the soldiers, and it ‘was observed that three or four men outside of tho service were also present. Play ran high, and at times the stakes were unusually large. The strangers in civilian clothes took part throughout the evening. It ‘was daylight when the game broke up, and reveille was sounding @s the last man left the dugout. After breakfast three or four of the en- listed men strolled down to the ‘‘Canteen,” ‘tho camp saloon, and ordered drinks. The bartender took 1n $1.35 in silver. After the mon left the saloon tho keeper had occasion 40 look at.the moneyv again and noticed that #t was unusually light. Examining it more 1y, he found it to be counterteit. 'he 1llicit coin fairly poured into the bar thet morning, and & _count bein, taken, $827 of the stuff was found. The men reported the matter to Col- onel Benham, the ocamp commandant, and received instructions to keop a careful lookout for l‘:.l civilians with the stuff in their possession. Ou the following day, smu-d.‘y, & tall, sngular, countrified appearing individual peared at the “canteen’ and offered one of :Euhlhn 0 exchange for u glass of beer, the change. “An orderly was ais- o Colonel Benham's quarters, and & later the man was arrested. He Was d to be Vic McCarthy, an individual ‘well known to the police of Omaha and the suthorities of Sarpy county. He has figured in a number of shooting scrapes, and it is charged that he has killed two men during bis career, The prisoner was placed in the guard tent sud held there for several hours, sod in the meantime Colonel Henry came w the eity and rcpoited the case to the United tos marshal. On some technical round that ofiicial refused to take action in flc matter and the prisoner was released. ‘Yesterday a reporter visited Bellovue and called upon the postmaster. “‘Haye you had any counterfeit money of- ered you recently ' asked the reporter. “Yes, sir, 1 have had several counterfeit Qollars me. The first tume I noticed auy of them,” be continued, ‘‘was about a year ago, aud they have been comiug in at antervals since then up to about & week ago, r;i then they stopped. ‘The last I had of- od me were by a soldier from the range Mrs. Swith. The latter she got onoy from the range.” Do you know any young men here named ‘ell, yes. There are four boys, named | Vic, James and John,” “What do they do for & living?" At this l’jo\mu ud{ clerk behind the counter smiled most audibly. “Well, said the postwmaster, thoy don't work s hard as sowme of us, but they job around onoe iv a while.” At the camp canteen the man behind the bar said he had seen many of the counter- foiu doliars, and had had them proffered him. Iv was his opinion that the monsy came from the *‘dug-out” under the hill. Colonel Benham was seen and showed the reporter several of the pieces. He said: “This fellow, Vic McCarthy, whom we had under arrest, gave every indication of being guilty. He was pale and trembling whila under arrest and was rather shaky in his explavation. He has been a terror to Sarpy county for years, and I understand he has killed two men in bis day.” ‘Thero are ounly about $40 of the stuff in camp, and it 18 understood that tho re- mainder is in circulation in the city.

Captain Green was asked concerning the statoments made in Tuz Bex yesterday, as follows; “What about the case on North Sixteenth street printed in Tus Bex, wherein it was stated that Officer Murphy arrested Bern- hard Mobr instead of the burglar who was hiding in the closet?"’ Al that T have to say about that is that Oficer Murphy is a spacial officer employed Dy the Missouri Pacifio railway, and his mis- take cannot be charged to me.’” *‘How about the case of James Hodges,who was employed by the board of park commis- sioners to cart away some rubbish, and who was violently thrown down in the jailand re- lieved of hus pocket-book " ““Phat is the first I have heard of any vio- lence being used by she officers upon Hodges. 1 agree with you that an officer is not war- ranted in_using violence in searching a pris- oner, and I will investigate tbis case and give you the faots.” Captain Green wus seen later and then said the jailer, on watch at the time of the aliegea assault upon Mr. Hodges, denied that any great violence was used, Thau Mr. Hodges refused to give up his pocketbook, which the police wanted to' put_in the safe for him that he might not be robbed in the cell by *ho-bos." “How about the case of C. C, Biller, who olaims to- have been fleecod out of several pounds of tobacco and a number of boxes of cigars which he had in his trunk, and which was rifled by police officers!” “Thero were no oigars in Biller's trunk and not more than six pounds of tobacco all told. Ask Jailer Bebout about it, Le was on watch at the time.” Jailer Bebout said that there was only about six pounds of mildewed tobacco in the trunk that he saw. The trunk was kept be- hind the wire fence in the jail, was locked and unlocked by Biller himself, and was opened once by the jailer to get Biller a plug of tobacco when he was in the cell. Blundering Man Grab! ‘The needless arrests by oficious bear- ers still continue, there being no less than seven men arraignod in court yestorday morning and discharged. ‘The most prominent was the case of Sam Ferguson, who has lived in Omaha for thirty years, and, at one time was chief of police.

That vexed. institution, the Bank of Omaha, came to the surface' of the legal pool sgain yestorday afternoon. Tho Voss Bros,, William, Heary and Berthola, filed suit against Sherifft Coburn, as assignee, to get a judgment for$417.67. They allege that they deposited this amount of money in the now defunct bank between the dates of May 28 and Juiie 5, supposing that the bank was a solvent institution. They furtoer al- lege that the officers of the bank took this money knowing their own financial condition to be such that 1t could not be repaid, and were hence guilty of intent to defraud the brothers Voss.. Further, the plaintiffs state that they checked against their account and that the checks were dishonored. Now they ask that their's be considered a preferred claim, that the balance due them be declared to be held by the bank and Assignee Coburn in trust, and that they be entitled to priority of payment. Henry Halgen prays for & judgment ainst Constable Albert Masterman,Charles ‘ammerer and Frank Humbert, in the sum of $300 aud cost of suit. Masterman, it 18 ul- leged, forcibly and without warrant, took and detained certain goods belonging to the plaintiff, necessitating the institution of & replevin suit before Justice O'Coanell, when tho goods were ordered returned.

A special telegram from Chicago in Trz Bee yestorday morning relates that con- siderable discussion is going on in the order of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers at present, and that there is a possible chance of the organization dissolving. The reasons given are that the recent strike on the Bur- lington resulted so unsatisfactorily thats majority of the members have lost confidence in the society and, further. that s large num- ber who are opposed to Arthur's re-eloction are 80 fearful of defeat that rather than see him again chosen they would bolt, prefar- ring not to remain under his control. A Union Pacific engineer, who is as a mat~ ter of course, & member of the brotherhood, inspeaking of the mutter, remarkod thal while tho report of dissension was true, he thau%ht the picture a little bit overdrawn. He did not think there was any dangerof the brotherhood going to pieces, While there were many members, ssgecmlly in the west, who had suffered from the recentstrike, he inclined to the beliof that, under a now leader, the present condition of affairs could be greatly changed, and that by proper ef- forts the unemployed men eouhf be pro- cured situations. The election this fall would be o bitter fight, as Arthur.had man) {riends in the east while the west was soli against him and in favor of Vroman, with the exception of the Pacific coast which has a candidate in the person of Vennor, & Southern Pacific man. As he is from such & remote restern pomt, It is Dbelieved that he will withdraw early in the fight and that the final struggle will be between Vroman and Arthur, 6 former has a splendid record and his recent success in the difficulty between the Union Pacific and the engineers on the Leaven- worth division is a great card in his favor, Regarding the co-operative union plan, the engineer stated that he understood that to be merely federation of the various orgadiza- tions of railroad employes, and not a mix association. A body of that kind would be one of great power and influence, But for Arthur’s opposition such action would have been taken long ago. Arthur had persist- ently adnered to the motto, **No entangling alliances with other trades,” and, by 0 doing, had greatly crippled the order. It was vhat policy that lost the B. & M. strike, because the organizations which once asi from and was refused help by the brother- hood was the first to put the knife to the Burlington engineers, —— ‘Wire rope and wire rope fixtures; manufacturer’s prices.
