James B. Anderson, born in the State of
Main, reared in aff1uence, graduate of
Yale College, and destined for the bar, ar
rived in the great city Of New York on the
18th day of July, 1876, and entered upon
career Of dissipation, which eliminated in
determination to seek excitement and ad-
venture in the Black Hills He started
from New York with companion, having
in his possession $4,000, and arrived in
the city of Deadwood without once having
drawn sober breath. In Chicago he paid
visit to noted gambling hell, where he
won 1920. He arrived at the Ell Dorado
| in September and began anew his career of
dissipation. Strange. to say he was most
fortunate gambler. Drunk or sober, he
invariably arose a winner, and one time, it
is said, he actually broke a faro bank,
cleaning the place out of nearly 81, 200.
The professional gamblers grew to fear and
hate him for his extraordinary good luck.
1t is said that while he was in the hills he
wen over $4,000, and spent his money as
reeklessly as he acquired 1t.
But fortune deserted the reckless youth.
Que night he entered q gambling hell, and
encountered man named Broy. They
were introduced, had some wine together,
and sat down to game of poker. They
played with varying fortune for two hours
, until at last Anderson proposed to make
the "ante" $500. Broy assented, the cards
+ were dealt, and Broy offered 500 on his
hand. Anderson saw him, and went him
D 5000 better. A crowd had gethered about
r the table. Broy saw the 5000 and went
e him $500 better. The silence of death
n reigned in the gambling house. Anderson
# looked at his hand and coolly raised his
g opponent 81 900. The money was deposit
g ed as fast as called for. Without hesita-
IT ton Broy saw the ST 900 and went $4,000
r better. The excitement became intense.

great drops of perspiration stood out on the
brow of the gambler Broy. It was an ago.

" "Four kings!" cried Broy, throwing dowr

day nothing has been seen of James Ander
son.
