A lucky Pool.

About the first Of March twenty-sev-
en- workmen at the West Milwaukee
shops of the st. Paul road, nearly all of
whom were employed in the paint de-
partment, conceived the idea of trying
their luck in the forthcoming drawing
of the Louisiana state lottery. With
the exception of one on two, who took
two chances, the men each contributed
one dollar, which was invested in tick
cts and a pool formed. The drawing
took place at New Orleans on the 18th
inst, and few days afterwards Henry
Rivers, foreman Of the railway company
paint shops, who had been iutrusted
with the matter. received advices from
Mr.. Dauphin, president of the Louis
lana lottery, that ticket No. IA, 467 had
drawn the first capital prize of $75, 900,
one-tfth of the ticket being held by the
Milwaukee pool, entitling the members
to $l5, 600. Last week CTuesday) the
money wa paid to Mr.. Rivers through
the Marine and Fire Insurance COM
pany's bank. The windfall has been
divided among the fortunate investors,
each receiving $555. 30. The men were
highly elated over their unexpected
good fortune, and the promptness with
which the money was paid by the lot
terry management. Nearly every cent of
the money has been invested in home
steads. A Wisconsin reporter made a
