In the shadowy underworld of St. Paul, a tale of bicycle tags and deceit has unfolded.

The Commercial Club’s newest members, including R.B. Higbee, John C. Story, Chester H. Griggs, Henry J. Scholey, and John E. Fowler, may have been involved in the scheme, but the web of corruption is far from untangled.
