Two Lucky East-sIders.
| If gold naine had been found on the east
side of this city it would not have created
more excitement than few days ago when
two lucky men got thirty thousand dollars
for two dollars. Yet, strange to say, these
lucky men did strike gold mine, but neith-
er OF them realized that they had found gold
| for two weeks aftsrward, and then 1t was
through the medium of the News.
The two lucky men are Charles Limerick,
who keeps neat little barber shop at 68 Co.
lumbia street, and his friend Joe Vansteen-
| burgh, who has tidy, well stocked cigar
store directly opposite at SO. They are both
long time residents of Columbia street.
Their story is best told in the words of Joe
Vansteenhurgh as he related it to the News
reporter in his cigar store:
''Oharlis and ], " he said, 'thavs been buy
ing tickets together right along since the
first of January and never won anything.
On the 9th of last month, which was the
anniversary of both of our births, he said
| he thought it would be lucky day to invest.
So concluded to invest fifty cents, Charlie
| investing one dollar and fifty cents and Sc
cured ons-tenth part of ticket No. So, 567.
ttOu the night of the 18th, the day after
the drawing, Jeweler Henry Rosenberg, who
| keeps the store next to me, saw list Of tht
winning numbers in the News and showed il
to Charlie, who sent fer me, and when be
told me we had struck the capital prize
thought at first he was joking me. We left
the ticket with Mr.. Rosenberg to keep in his
safe over night. On the following morning
we handed the ticket to the Adams Express
company for collection, and in Iess than ter
days we received the money (thirty thousand
dollars) lees ninety dollars collection charges
I received seven thousand five hundred dol
lars and Charlie twenty-five thousand hvt
hundred dollars. We are both going to pu
nearly all of it into brick and mortar as soor
as We get chance, and after two weeks
trip through New York and Pennsylvania
Charlie will open a big shop down town, bu
guess I'll remain here. You bet we'll con
tinue to invest in the Louisiana State lotter,
| and go will everybody around here.-Nev
