All the Springs want is a good manager or hotel keeper and his fortune is assured in a few years.

YOUNG CHARLEY GOTTSCHALK COME TO GRIEF
Charley though of trying to see h ow the world looked outside of Cedarburg, and left his paternal home for Chicago. By the following narrative it seems that he came to grief immediately after his arrival in Chicago, believing no doubt that the rest of the people were all as honest as the citizens of Cedarburg from which place, where he was born, the poor boy never went any distance. This lesson is a good one to Charley, and worth more than the four dollars he invested. He will look out the next time with whom he is playing dice or better still he will quite such games altogether (unreadable words) . . Cedarburger’s if he should return. Boys ought to be in better business than loafing abut bar rooms, playing for the drinks or for money.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He crossed the street and was asked where he was going and gave the place at which his friends lived. "all right, come right along," said the friend, who led him to Johnnie KEEGAN’s place where he was given breakfast and taught how to play with loaded dice for a total of $4, all in almost as many minutes. Constable SETTIG went with the boy to identify his partners at dice, after which a warrant was sworn out for KEEGAN’s arrest. The young man’s father is a well-to-do business-man in Cedarburg.
