The closing of the co-operative turf In

brought grief, to a number of people In

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

offices In the ' Sapp building. The com

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
