from 500 to 500 worth each. INTO
each bundle went a circular letter, tho
tenor Of which was as folbws:
Dear Sir: No matter how old anb
well established may be, the time comes
when it requires advertising, and we
have chosen this means Of advertising
our goods. You have been recommend
ed to us as proper person TO act 10
our agent.
We are sending you a package con-
tanning 500 of our tickets, which you
will sell, retain 20 per cent and forward
balance to US. In separate ennelope
you willfin two fractional ticketsfear-
ing the number. This number win
draw SIC, 1000.
Keep one of these and give the otheI
to prominent citizen who will be viii
ling to make affidavit that he drew a
prize. If you as shrewd a person as
we believe you to be, it is not neces-
sary to send hammer with this pack
age to drive the point into your head.o
Gourdian's theory that tho supply Of
suckers was inexhaustible was vindi-
Gated. The returns began to come in
by the bushel. The officers Of the com
pany whose tickets had oeen counter
feited ragged and fumed. They finally
sued out an injunction restraining the
express company from delivering the
money packages TO G.urdain and his
accompi es, and it Is estimated that
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars we're
sent back by the express company to
the senders.
AS is was. the proceed Of the coup
amounted far into the hundreds Of
thousands, and may have reach d
81, 100000. Gourdian started bank in
New Orleans and began to hurl money
away. He did not drink, gamble nor
use tobacco. He did not indulge in any
Of the common vices or the unprinci-
Piled rich. But he burned money
with torch in each hand.
His accentricities were construed 40
methodical madness for advertising
purposes, but after he began to drive
through the streets lolling in his sum-
ptous carriage, attired in his bath robe,
he was ''interdicted" and sent to thu
Louisina retreat. or asylum for insane,
where he was confined for year.
After his release from the asylum hs
started another doubtful game and
served six months in the Topeka Jail
From there he difted to New York and
opened bank. He was sent to Black
wells Island for a year. Then he
showed up at Omaha during the expo
sition. He was broke. and got 1900
from New Orleans man who was will
ing to risk the money on the promise
that Gourdian would make him a mil
lionaire. Dalton again joined him and
they bought swamp land In louisiana
and sold it for oil land. They made a
cool million out Of the scheme.
Now Dalton and Gourdain are both
headed for the penitentiary. Dalton
besides being convicted with Gourdain
for fraud, is under sentence for entic-
ing young girls. 1t Is, apparent that
Gourdain's attempt TO break back into
prison are made for some ulterior pur-
pose, because to remain there when he
was in il would only have been neces-
sary to refuse to sign bond for his
release All he has TO do 70 get back
is to get his partner, Jack Dalton. TO
surrender him IN his bond The gov
ernment officials believes he b laying
some new scheme against the time hs
gets out inally-fOr he Is sure to serve
his time.
