PAnKrRsBuRG, January IA slight mis-
understanding over the raifing of OF dia-
mond pin here short time ago. is likely
TO result in damage suit. An agent Of
Mike Lipman, the well known pawn
broker, Of Cincinnati, opened and offered
for sale at auction q lot OF so called unre.
deemed pawn goods, together with other
stock OF table ware, &c. During the sale
the agent designated a certain pin TO be
disposed OF after the usual manner OF sell
ing, chances in the sane 20 be represented
by certain numbers, one Of which would
take the pin. Billy Brown selected q Ger.
tain number and rendered bank note in
payment, but the agent, not having the
necessary change, payment was not made.
When ,he time came for the drawing, it was
announced that az Browns chance had not
been paid for the drawing could not take
place until the amount was paid, and
Brown not being present the requisite sum
was contributed by other parties present,
and the drawing came oil, when II was
found that Browns selection was the lucky
one. Payment was again rendered by
Brown, but refused. whereupon Brown
had the agent arrested for Q violation OF
the law relating TO lotteries, and being
about to leave the State, Lipman's goods
were attached and held and now fipman
comes in with q damage suit for the deten-
ton Of his goods.
