UNCLE BOB"
The Andrew jackson Democrat
and His Plug.

Uncle Bob Foulke. who lived
many years in Carson in Indifferent
conditions of purse, struck out for
Bodie eight or nine years ago, and
became one of the Muldoons of that
place. The old gentleman was al
ways a Democrat of the immovable
sort, and often voted his ticket in
Nevada with grim h~opelessness for
the present and solely in the spirit Of
"auld lang syne." Along with his
Democracy he retained an unwaver-
ing fondDess for his plug hat, and

humored reference to the old gentle
man:
Que OF the delegates to the Demo-
cratic Convention at Stockton was
Uncle Bob Foulke, who is a character
known all Over the mining districts
of this State and Nevada. Uncle Bob
is now past eighty years of age, but
still spry and clipper, is a prominent
citizen of Mono county and a shining
light in the Democratic councils of
that county. He is n of the old
fashioned kind of Democrats, who
swear by Andrew Jackson's great
toe and would rather play draw
poker than receive a through ticket
to heaven. Once upon a time, in
the good old days when a $50
piece didn't look AS big as a short bit
does now, Uncle Bob was engaged
in his favorite pastime with a pro-
fessional sport, single-handed. The
sport was down to his last cent, sit
ting behind u good hand, and Uncle
Bob had just raised him. Putting
his fingers to his mouth lie took
tilerefrOm two false teeth on a gold
plate. "See here. Uncle Bob" he
said, "there's more gold in this plate
than enough to call your bet, I'll call
you and raise you the lest of the
value" "All right" said Uncle
Bob, and reaching his hand into his
mouth he drew forth a full upper set,
mounted in gold, and throwing it in
to the pot. said: Sonny, I'll raise
you the balance of this piece" The
sport passed out.
