SCHEME TO BEAT
PUNCH BOARDS IS
NIPPED IN BUD;
ARREST FOLLOWS
Stranger Tries Old Game Here and
Comes to Grief; Is Ordered
Out Of City.
HAS DUPLICATE NUMBERS OF
PRIZE WINNERS PRINTED
Police Receive Zip" of Scheme and
Warn Store Proprietors; Gets
I'm Bad" First Attempt.

That moth eaten game of work
ing" a punch board was tried in Be-
midi yesterday by stranger CIV
ing the name of II. E. Selvey and
claiming to hail from International
Falls, where his pal in the game is
said to make his headquarters. Plans
had been laid to make a cleaning
but Chief Ripple had a tip a couple
OF days ago and when Selvey started
to make the rounds of the punch
boards the chief was notified and
Selvey was arrested and taken to
Jail. Today he was booked as a vag-
rant and ordered out of the city and
he lost no time in complying with
the order.
How Game is Worked.
The punch boards offer various
prizes for punching out certain num-
bers, including $40 gold pieces,
watches and gold pieces of lesser de-
nomination, the odds against the one
attempting to win being enormous.
The scheme of beating the board is
to procure the serial number of the
board, copy the winning numbers
from the face of the board by hav-
ing slips printed as nearly similar
as possible and after punching out
any number substitute the winning
number and hand it over to the un-
suspecting store proprietor and pick
off the valuable prizes.
Prize is Refused.
Selvey had been in Bemidji three
or four days ago and secured the
serial number of the boards around
the city, copied the winning numbers
and returned to international Falls
to have the spurious slips printed.
Yesterday afternoon he commenced
his rounds and started in at the
store of Abercrombie & McCready,
but the proprietors had been warn
ed by Chief Ripple and when the
winning number had been punched"
the prize was refused and Selvey
left. Chief Ripple was notified and
he Immediately started on the trail
of the would-be get rich visitor and
located him just as he had entered
the Antlers and took him to the city
building and locked him up.
Winning Numbers Noted.
In a note book found on the per-
son of the prisoner were serial num-
bers of boards in Bemidji and slips
bearing the numbers of the prizes
The "phony" slips had the numbers
printed in purple ink instead of
black and the type was larger than
that used on the slips punched from
the boards. According to the total
numbers found in the note book a
haul of 500 was in sight, also
watches.

additional training within sound of
the guns at the front must be given
to forces taken to the battlefields of
France before they take their places
in the line. The regulars of the ex-
