Recently there appeared in Pittsburg | a man giving the name of R. C. Lucas, j accompanied by a woman calling herself [ May Anderton, who attempted to dispose i of counterfeit B. & O. Mileage Books. They did succeed in selling some to the brokers, and then departed for Cleveland, where they registered at the American House as R. C. Lucas and wife. In their efforts to dispose of the spuri j ous tickets they aroused suspicions, which were at once communicated to the B. & O. Agent, who immediately took such action as led to the arrest and conviction of the woman, who was found ! guilty of selling counterfeit tickets, and sentenced to six months in the workhouse and to pay a fine of SSOO and costs. The man succeeded in making his escape, but as he is known to the railroad people and the police, his arrest is only a question of time. ! The B. &O. officials have taken every । precaution to prevent the sale or use of these spurious tickets, and have expressed a determination to prosecute to , the fullest extent of the law anyone caught attempting to use counterfeit mileage or other bogus forms of trans- , portation, and will be especially vigorous against brokers found offering them for sale.
