The Cheyenne Leader

A Washington dispatch of the 2nd says: "From information received to-night, it would appear that the $750 worth of fractional currency which was lost last week in one of the rooms of the Printing and Engraving Bureau of the Treasury, and which led to a personal search of several female clerks, has not been recovered, as positively stated. Your correspondent was informed last Sunday, by Superintendent McCartee, 'that the money had been found in the drying room of the bureau, but now it seems that not only has the missing amount not been found, but that, worse still, one hundred of the female clerks have been fined seven dollars each, in order to make up for the loss.' When the girls applied for their regular monthly pay yesterday, they discovered that they had to bear the entire loss among them, although it appears that the missing money might have been lost or mislaid in other rooms of the bureau than those in which they are employed. The girls are quite naturally very much excited over the matter. They neither relish the imputation upon their characters involved in the procedure, nor do they consider it just that they are mulcted for the whole amount."
