THE BIG CITIES,

Another Get Rich Quick scheme go1
all shot to pieces last week when c.
Groebner and Otto Pullman of this
city went up against very slick branc
of the "con' game in Chicago. Cy is
now wiser and a poorer man, and
Otto says he had nothing to do with it
except to go on Cy's note. 1t must be
understood that neither Cy nor Otto
were bit cordial about giving the
Revieav the information asked for IN
order to get the story right. In fact
they were both very modest in their
desire not to be written up and declared
they had nothing whatever to say in
the matter except that the stories told
in the Twin City papers were not true.
Otto added "It sure was slick trick
Best 1 ever saw, but the Reviey
couldn't get him to reveal the workings
of the trick so Reuie1U readers will
simply have to satisfy their curiosity
on the stories as told by the daily
papers.
Perils of New Ulm.
According to these news purveyors
Cy Groebner is farmer from New
Ulm. You can take that for what it
is worth. They also say that Otto is
from St. Paul. We'll bet he wishes he
was just now. 1t seems further that
farmer Groebner during the past
summer met a man by the name Of
Murray here in New Ulm. Just see
what dangers can come right here into
our quiet little burg. Murray took a
fancy to Cy and invited him to go
along and see the sights of Chicago.
Or, to put it as the daily has it, Cy
went along to pay the expenses for the
pair of them.
Great Luck. . z
One day while the two of them were
in hotel they found a purse contain
ing perfectly good (?) $50 bill and
some papers which looked like big
business, apparently representing
bonds amounting to many thousands
of dollars. One big city daily is so
suspicious as to say that Cy was Of the
opinion that "fndin' is keepin'' - and
was loath to return the purse to the
owner whose name was thoughtfully
given in the purse together with his
address at another Chicago hotel. This
rich owners name according to the
pocketbook was J. H. Broderick.
Murray, as the city papers tell it, was
surprised to think Cy would keep the
money he had found, and he finally
succeeded in convincing him that
Honesty is the best policy and the
two of them hunted up the unfortunate
Broderick who was nearly out of his
wits wondering who could have gotten
his purse with it's 100000 in bonds.
His Joy in having it restored to him
was equalled only by his gratitude to
Cy. He insisted that Cy keep the $50
and then offered to invest it for him SO
that it would bring him reward more
or less commensurate with the service
Cy had rendered by his honesty: II
seems that Cy was willing, and that a
day or two later the rich man reported
to Cy that he had increased the $5C
for Cy by $3.50.
Cy Invests Own Money.
This was such pleasant news to Cy
that he decided to invest some of his
own cash, amounting to $400. II
seems to have been oil stock that was
turning the trick for Broderick ane
everybody knows oil stock is simply
WONDERFUL! The $400 multi
plied itself, according to the report
made to Cy on the investment, ant
then it was that Cy began to SCI
visions. Dreams Of coming back t.
the old home town conquering her
who had busted the bank at Mont
Carlo floated thru his mind and ther
was "nuthin to it," He took tn
matter up with his new,found ric]
friend Broderick, and the latter toll
him that if he could find $4,000 he
Broderick would find $50,O00, an
they would 60 in together and make
killing. ..,s. ~ ss.ts
