GRIEF OF THE VICTIM ‘That gold brick games are not confined to the large cities was shown by one that was practiced on a victim in the Klondike country. The victim was robbed of the greatest treasure he possessed, and it was feared for a time that a riot would be pre- cipitated in view of the excitement that was caused among the friends of the bun- coers and buncoed. The matter was finally adjusted, however, and all hands expressed satisfaction over the results. It was a bunco game all the way through, as the story proves. The account of it was given one night in the smoking room of the Dead Duck Hotel, in Dawson City. This smoking room, by the way, served as bar, office, dining room and gen- eral store room for the nuggets of the miners. It was found on trial that these nuggets took up much of the room that should have been given to fuel. In con- sequence any nugget weighing less than sixteen ounces had been thrown out on the street. Owing to a street fight which had arisen between a number of the gamins the nuggets thrown out had been used for pelting one another and had dis- appeared finally and no one knew how and no one cared where. Miner Named Wheesy Jim. The victim of the aforesaid bunco game was a miner named “Wheezy Jim.” This was on account of an asthmatic tendency which made him puff like an engine on a 10 per cent grade. The buncoers were “Bunker Bill” and his pal, “Long Tom Tasker,” from Tuscarawres Junction. “They didn’t do much to ‘Wheezy Jim,’ ” said Kankakee Charlie in the smoking room of the Dead Duck Inn; “but what they done was a plenty. Yo’ hain’t hearn uv it, stranger? I asks yo’ pardon, fer- gittin’ ye’ are a tenderfoot on the Klon- dike. They may think us pretty nigh ez slow ez Philadelphia up in these diggin’s, but ’taint so. Yo’ see, we are sorter under cover like, as the sun is most of the time. There’s plenty of chance for hatchin’ up schemes during the winter months, an’ “1 guess most everybody has one incubator or two goin’ all the time. “Well, about this hyah bunco game. It come mighty night depopulatin’ Dawson City. Yo’ see, wuz this way. ~ Wheezy Jim had a whole bologny sausage he got some way. It war’nt no small part of the sausage. It wuz.a whole link, just as it comes out of the machine. There wuz all sorts of stories affoat as to where he got the bologny. Some'say Jim traded his upper Eldorado claim for it to a fellow who come up from Dyea, or’ Skagway last sum- mer. How the fellow ‘managed to get to Dawson with sech Vallfples about his pus- son only he could tell, and he @idn’t. Any- way Wheezy Jim’ came up in town one mornin’ mo’ ‘cited than when Reddy Hagan dug up a sixty-pound id nugget over in Sairey Ann Gulch> fheezy Jim had his hat off, gun in hand, and he was makin’ things hum. He brought the bladderskin in the Dead Duck’ bar and laid it on a table. The Digging, at,n Stand Still. “Well, say, the report:goet out an’ ther’ was no more work ’tiohe in the diggin’s about Dawson that;flay,” The boys flocked in from all aroun’. just;to take a look at Wheezy Jim’s treasure. One old Dutch- men, as soon as he,pmelt ity got homesick and shot hisself. . There was sech a crowd in the Dead Duck, bar the proprietors of the Hoot Owl, Frosty Elephant and Bald Eagle saioons pocied tnterests and offered Weleezy Jim a ton of gold dust ter exhibit the bolony the same length of time at each of their hang-outs. “No, gentlemen,’ said Wheezy Jim, ‘T calc’late I can do a little bigness on my own account.’ He done it, too. Hired a room and charged a pound of gold dust admis- He got sech a pile he was threatened by the town council with arrest fer main- taipin’ a private dumping ground. His pile of dust looked like a hay stack. Bunco Bill and Long Tom gets their heads to- gether and they fixed it up in style. One un ’em visited Wheezy Jim one night and after actin’ like a man who wants ter say scmethin’ and is afeared, an’ with tears in his eyes, after ther door had been locked, he asked Jim if they wuz any one aroun’. Old Wheezy don’t know wot to make of it. He begins ter be suspicious that Bill is after the bologny, and pulls his gun. Prize Above Price. “This is no touch game, Jim,’ Bill says. ‘It's a dead open and shut trade. You is the only man in the outfit has got any- thing like equal to my prize. Sh! for God’s sake don’t let any one know I possess such a treasure as a two-pound hunk of butter.’ Bill here goes the door and looks out to make certain that ther’ is nobody around. ““Ef it wuz ter git eroun’ Long Tom and I had the butter, our lives wouldn’t be safe. Then ergin’' Bill says mysterious like, ‘the story would git out how we got it. Jim, you know Tom and I lived on a free lunch route for years. Ef we could only sink a tooth into a bologhy wunst more we would be ready to throw up our claims, Say we trade even, Jim. Our two-pound hunk of butter for your link of bologny. Yo’ don’t care for it like we does. Yo’ ecme from good people, and has been useter eatin’ butter. We never had no chanet ter cultivate its acquaintance.’ “Ther wuz tears ine Bill's eyes. He's pretty foxy, Bill is, and they say he used to travel with Hungry Joe. But Jim wouldn’t hear of no sich proposition. That tink of bologny had become a companion to him. He loved it as much as he onct, loved a dog he uscter own, Jim told Bill. No, sir, he wouldn’t part with that sau- sage for all the gold in Klondike. Jim Capitulates. “Howsumever, they kept pestering Jim so much that he finally gave in. They told him the butter wuz in a solid lump, shaped like a brick, frozen: stiff so ez ter keep. They wuz sleek, them two sharpers wuz. They makes a date with Jim to meet ’em one night at the éhd'bf town and hand over the bologny fer a two-pound pat uv butter. “On the night selected, wich ’s somewhat dark, they meets Jitn acéording to contract. He perduces the link’of sausage and they hands over wot perfports to be the rectan- gilar-shaped two-poundypat of butter. Bill and Tcm claims they, have business else- where and leaves. “When Wheezy Hill-goes back to his shanty and examineg c! wot he has been dreamin’ is a two-pgund lump of cow juice, battered into Frese: hemigh has a fit, he’s so disapp'inted.” Here Kankakee “Charlie aggravatingly stopped and proce 4o dig for a nugget in a back tooth with his frog-sticker. “Well, what wuzfhe pot of butter?” the tenderfoot inquired, gpxiously. Charlie gave a scornful laugh before be answered. “Wot wuz it?” he sajd; ;it was nothing but @ gold brick, weighing five or ae seven pounds, ‘You know w’en the boys fust begins takin’ out the PE sega! stuff: they oes it_into ricks, Kind of a fad like, yo’ know. Why, eS bricks is so common our main street is paved with ‘em. We don’t handle noth- ing now but dust. The bricks is too cum- bersome. That brick wasn’t worth more than $2,000 anyway. You couldn’t buy a cracker with that, Jet alone a piece of cheese. A Real Hot Time. “Jim rouses up everybody, and there was a hot time in the ‘old town that night. Some sides with him and some says a —— | fool that could believe that sich a thing Rgeatinns hapa et cial Pate it next mornin’ fey oe aerate ee "em nothin, They had left their treasure in-an unguarded moment in their cabin the BE CAREFUL.

Their yellow dog, which is one of the remaining relics of civilization they had, was likewise fond of the chief pro- duct of the free lunch counter. The animal slipped in, grabbed the bologny and downed it in an instant. Bill and Tom sald they felt so bad over losing the chunk they wuz willin’ to be strung up anyway.” Kankakee Charlie added that it was thought such a fate would be too good for them, so they were simply driven from the diggings and quiet again rested over Daw- son. This is a true story of the first au- thentic gold brick game in the Klondike. >— FROM THE PINE TREE STATE. Annual Meeting and Election of the Sons and Daughters of Maine. The ennual meeting of the Sons and Daughters of Maine was held at No. 419 10th street Saturday night, and was at- tended by many members of the flourishing organization. The address, which was to have been delivered by Gen. Charles H. Smith, was postponed by reason of the la- mentable death of Mrs. Smith. Resolutions of regret and condolence were adopted. Of- ficers for the ensuing year were chosen as follows: Pitman Pulsifer, president; John B. Cotton, first vice president; Oliver H. Briggs, second vice president; Mrs. George W. Hall, third vice president; C. E. Crow- ell, recording secretary; Mrs. Sarah Samp- son, corresponding secretary; Walter Hig- gins, treasurer; George W. Hall, orator, and C. H. Ellis, usher. Messrs. ‘Pulsifer, Cotton and Crowell were appointed a com- mittee to select an executive committee. —_>——_. DAMAGE SUITS FILED. One Against Transfer Company, Four Against B. and 0. N. Carroll Downs, through Attorneys Wolf and Rosenberg, has filed suit at law against Charles W. and Edward B. Terry, trading as the Columbia Transfer Com- pany, to recover $10,000 damages, In his declaration, Mr. Downs, who 1s one of the assistant clerks of the District Supreme Court, states that the 2ist of last September, while riding a bicycle along Pennsylvania avenue between 13th and 13% streets, a horse drawing a wagon belong- ing to the defendant company ran against and over Mr. Downs, greatly damaging the bicycle and causing painful and perma- rent injuries to himself. Four suits at law to recover damages have also been filed by Attorneys R. Ross Perry & Son and Wolf & Rosenberg against John K. Cowen and Oscar G. Murray, re- ceivers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Ccmpany. The plaintiffs are Nathan L. Rosenberg, who seeks to recover $20,000, for injuries sustained September 8 in an accident at Ist and M streets northeast. Nathan L. Rosenberg and his wife, Min- nie, claim $5,000 for injuries to her in the same accident, Carl Auerbach asks damages in the sum of $750, and, in a separate suit, Carl Auerbach and his wife Hannah ask $10,000 because of injuries, it is alleged, resulting from the same oc- currence. The carriage in which the plaintiffs were riding was run into by a locomotive. —+ Where _to Buy. There are retirements and last appear- ances in both the business and theatrical worlds, and the public has begun to look with suspicion upon them. But there are genuine retirements and bona fide last ap- pearances, Jacobs Brothers, the jewelers, are really retiring from business. The auc- tion which is now in progress there dem- onstrates this, and the ridiculously low prices the handsome stock is bringing is the very best corroborative evidence. Dia- monds, watches, silver ware, clocks and cut glass are going fast and cheap. A three-stone diamond ring sold at the morn- ing sale today for $19 that cost $50 to du- plicate. This is only one instance of the slaughter. A little money invested at this sale brings astonishing results. Sales are held at 10 a.m. and 3 and 7 o'clock p.m. se Mr. Lowermilk Seriously 11. No decided improvement is noted in the condition of Mr. W. H. Lowdermilk, who has been ill for some time past at his resi- dence in this city. His friends do not en- tertain much hope of his recovery. He has been in a semi-unconscious condition for some time. Mr. Lowdermilk has been a great sufferer for years on account of disabilities incurred during his service in the army in the late war, but the present illness is the result of Bright's disease. —_—+- Would Be Appreciated. Those sun spots that are said to have caused the unusually mild weather that has prevailed up to date have evidently ceased operations for the holidays. The late disagreeable weather shows the need of stout, dry shoes and rubbers. There are many persons who would more thor- oughly appreciate something sensible, such as one pair of shoes, boots or rubbers for Christmas than a carload of gewgaws of really no use or value. Stoll’s shoe store, 810 7th street, is an establishment of large proportiors and has met deserved success because of honest dealings and fair treatment. Therein may be found everything for all feet, from the tinlest infant pink toes to the most spacious ped- al extremity. Ladies’ slippers of felt, fur and colors, as well as slippers for men, are made features of the holiday trade, as are ladies’ Romoes. Everything new and proper in shoes, boots and rubbers is also in stock. ee Frauds on New York Milk Producers.
