a si"iy has just leaked nul nbicl
tells 81 the hold up" OF one al Our well
known citizens while he was on a busi
ness trip TO Chicago lew weeks aro.
We repeat the story, not so much as !,
matter oil news. as To warn Others who
may have business in Chicago that IL *
not sale to wander about the city with
whole lot OF money upon ones person.
Our Crystal Falls citizen who, blythe
way, we will call Mr. Jones, was strolling
leisnrely down oneofChcago's thorough
fares when he was nccos ted by "a man
who clnim,d 90 have known him up here.
Alter lev arguments. .Innrs cnt nm
idea that lac had known the fellow.
Ii so happened GU that the Chicago man
was headed for the same place that
Jones had started out for so they
strolled along together They had
gone bnt n short distance when Jones
was invited into "A place to meet the Chi
cago mans partner. The partner was
met and after a short conversation one
OF them proposed that they have "a
game. Jones "tumbled" when the game
was sprung that he had fallen into the
hands OF some bunco men and as an
excuse To get out OF the place acquiesced
in the proposition To play" but said
he would run over To the drug store
across the way and get some cigars.
The bunco men saw that Jones had
smelled a rat and, when he turned to
go Tor the door, one OF them pnioned
him from behind while the other went
through his pockets relieving him OF his
pocket book but missing one pocket in
which he bad over one hundred dollars.
Jones went ut once 10 the police station
and swore out warrant but, when he
returned to the place with the police,
they were informed by n lady who
answered their call that the parties who |
bad occupied the room in which Jones
was robbed had just paid her the rent
and left. Such * the story of Jones and |
our people may deduce the moral.
