THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1928. LOOK OUT FOR THEM - * Quite a number of the gasoline filling stations between Old Fort and Marion were visited during the past two weeks by three shrewd swind lers. The men were youngish looking, well dressed fellows, and were work ing, a "skin" game by means of a punch board, otherwise known as a "color board." They acted in con cert, but one of the gang preceded his two pals something like a week and by offering this punch board at a very low price succeeded in selling quite a number of them along the highway. The three confederates had tampered with the boards, fixing them so as to respond to a certain touch understood by all, and when the two followers-up came along lat er, all they had to do was to locate the place, put up their money, punch out the sure-to-win slip until they got all in sight, and pass on before some one might become suspicious. Of course they allowed themselves to lose a little at the start, as is usual with such tricksters. Two stations east of town lost $75 and S6O, re spectively, and how many more we didn't try to find out. The two men that raked in the cash we are inform ed were in a 1927 Chevrolet coach and had apparently been drinking. The better* and safer plan is to have nothing to do with games of chance. —Exchange. W. M. S.
