The WAY GEORGE DUyAL Cor MAR-
RIED.-A few days ago the st. Louis papers
contained quite an animated account Of
little incident on the Missouri and Pacific
railroad, wherein George Duval was taken
in by sucker and fieeced out of $4,000.
AS George generally does this sort OF bust
ness himself, the incident was regarded as
quite joke. Meeting George q few days
since we asked him about it. A broad grin
flashed over his face, and nervous pull at
his hair showed Georges thorough apprecia-
ton of the circumstance.

going to get married and had saved up
about $4,000 when this fellow tackled

"You bet" was his chuckling response.
The train was gong ABOUT forty miles an
hour, and sidled to the door, remarking as
did SO, so am l. and over | went"
You didn't jump from the train ?" we
asked. "Of course l did. You see l was
going to be married, and that money was
my dowry."
