Upon The closing of the co-operative turf In vestment companies In St. Louis has brought grief, to a number of people In Council Bluffs who were caught with the dazzling prospect "t getting rich In a hurry on a small Investment. While the In dividual losses 1 if this, city are not heavy, lit la said, that the aggregate will run up well Into the thousands. The' John J. Ryan Co-Operatlve Breed ing Farm and Bookmaklng enterprise, one of the St. Louis turf investment companies which followed In the wake of the Arnold company and went to the wall, recently established a branch office In this city. Two young men named McClaflln and Ward were the agents and occupied a suite of offices In the ' Sapp building. The com pany's offer to pay 6 per cent weekly dividends on all Investments proved a tempting bait and fhe local office soon began to do a good business. The Investors- In the get-rlch-qulck concern were drawn from all classes and It Is said up ward of $10,000 was sunk In the scheme by Council Bluffs people. When word was received here of the fail ure of the Arnold company there waa a regular stampede among the clients of the Ryan company, but thy were assured by Claflln and Ward, the local representatives of the firm,- that they need have no mis givings, as their company was entirely sol vent and would keep on doing bualness at the bid stand right along. The next day word came from St. Louis that the Ryan company, with the other concerns, of a like character, had been unable to weather the storm and hsd closed Its doors. There was a rush of Investors to the company's offices In the Sapp block to draw their money out, but It was too late. The doors were locked and McClaflln and Ward were not to be found. It was ascertained tht McClaflln and Ward were In their office early Friday morning, but left after a short while, lock ing the doors behind them. Since then they have not been seen.
