trying ordeal after a Saturday night S

five dollars.
Cameron Banks yielded to his appe-
tite, and it cost him five dollars.
Thomas Weaver fell by the wayside,
was taken in and sheltered, and paid
five dollars for his nights lodging.
William Evans tried to prove that he
could drink or let it alone, and the re-
suit was he didn't let it alone soon
enough. His experience cost him five
dollars.
