There arc stilt hero, however, several citizens who have vivid recollections of these incidents, the excitement they caused in the community and the bad reputations they Imparted to Kokomo on thc outside. Old Junction Gang One of thc stories relates to a gang that had a hang-out in thc northern part of the city, not far from the old Junction station.

To operations of this gang were attributed many burglaries and robberies In the city and countryside. Worst of all, however, were the deaths of several strangers, supposed to have been killed for their money, their bodies then being placed on thc railroad near the northern edge of the city, to resident create She appearance, of accident. There is H. tradition that within a period nf two or three years t.hc mangled bodies of no fewer than seven persons were found along the tracks of thc two entering the city from the north. None of the bodies were Wntlfied and no reason wns ever about six weeks ago.

Group of Counterfeiters Near thc same time, much counterfeit money was in circulation here. There was so much of it that suspicions were awakened that it was of local origin. Federal agents came to Kokomo, took thc city marshal into i confidence, made an investigation and finally struck "pay dirt." A raid was made at thc home nf a family in the a short distance southeast of Kokomo--a family suspected ot having sinister connections in the city. There, incriminating evidence of an indisputable kind was found.

Those who had been engaged In making and pawing thc spurious money wore xrrcBted, tried, convicted and sent to the penitentiary. SuKpectwl It was the belief of officers and of many at tho time that certain In Kokomo had participated In circulating the counterfeit money, If not In making It. Some of those suspected were persons of prominence. The men who tad been caught, however, through loyalty or fear, refused to "squeal" and none ot the suspected higher-ups wore arrested. As t'sr ns was ever ascertained, there was no connection of any hind between thc counterfeiters just southeast of Kokomo and the desperadoes who made thc old Junction district a pluce to be dreaded.

The two groups seem to have just happened to operate at approximately tlic same time. Had Desired Kffcct After the old Junction gang and tho counterfeiting crowd had been wiped out.
