game of throwing dice for small stakes
'He was successful in that game, ana
came out about 81 ahead. ~ soon a.

| stalls and tossed 4 dollar to each OF ms
| other Swipes, until the proceeds OF the
| winnings had vanished. Tho com
mcmts OF the byStandcrS, without eNceP
ton, were that Mr.. Nelson was a Eencr'
GUS hearted man; that il other breeders
