DEATH OF A NOTED GAMBLER.-Bill
Briggs, one of the best known sporting men
on the Pacific coast, died in San Francisco
last week, after long Illness, He was
known from Alaska to Mexico as q square
gambler who had made several fortunes and
had given away thousands to charity. Will
liam Briggs was born in Hannibal, Mo-, in
1880. His father was Kentuckian OF
Scotch parenbage, his mother Virginian OF
French descent, and he had, therefore, no
trace of Indian blood in his veins, although
t was a commonly accepted belief in San
Francisco. After common school educa.
ton he entered Hannibal College, in the
same class with Mark Twain, aud while
there cemented a friendship with young
Clemens which lasted in subsequent years.
Through some boyish scrape Briggs got into
trouble with the faculty. and fearing dis
missal ran away. Although only 16 years
of age, his six feet in height and 200 pounds
in weight made him look much too old, aud
gained him admission in a cavalry company
that was passing on it's way 10 the Mexican
war. During that war the boy served with
conspicuous gallantry, and by his cool brav.
ery on one occasion won his stripes on the
field of battle. After two years of service ne
got an honorable discharge, and returning
to his home received the welcome OF the
prodigal. The spirit OF fadventure had taken
possession of him, so his father gave him a
new outfit and sent him across the plains to
California in the autumn Of '49. Arriving
in Sacramento in the spring of 1850, he cold
his venture and started life in the mines as
a merchant and speculated. By 1854 he had
accumulated $4,000 in hard cash and
brought it to San Francisco with the inten-
tion of returning East. He fell into the
hands of gamblers and lost every cent.
Then he turned gambler himself and be-
came an adept in all the games of chance.
He ran the largest faro bank in San Fran
cisco for years, but every one knew Briggs
dealt square game He would tolerate nc
cheating in his place, nor would he allow
Young clerks to play. When any of these
Youths lost money he would return it, and
warn them that or second visit to his
place or any other gambling game in town
he would give warning to their employers
Briggs never refused the appeals for aid
from broken-down pioneers, and this ia the
main reason why. he left only modest es.
tate to his widow. About three years ago
while hunting in Mount Shasta. he fell over
n precipice and was seriously injured. which
at last ended in his death. He was strik'
ing.looking man. swarthy as an Indian, and
always dressed in black broadclotb, with
low. cut vest and Panama hat.
