Yurawic, a Hungarian saloonkeeper,
is said to have been done out of 81, 200

man has been identified by Yurawic.
Some time ago the accused man is
alleged to have come into the saloon

new way for making money. He de-
clared he had a cabinet which would
turn out money faster than the
presses of all the green goods operat-
ors in the United States Yurawic,
who is a foreigner, was greatly inter
ested and furnished two ten dollar
bills, which came out as twenty dol
lar bills.
Finally Yurawic gave the man $1,000
and it was placed in the cabinet and
sealed up. The owner of the cabinet
declared it would take the cabinet six
days to double so large an amount, but
YuraWic was willing to wait, and the
alleged sharper allowed the saloon
man to place it in his safe. In the
meantime, it is alleged, he got away
with the $1,000.
When the cabinet was opened no.
thing was found in it but waste paper.
A warrant was issued here charging
the man with grand larceny, md he
will be brought to Kenosha.
