DROPPED A PILE OF TWENTIEs.
Mile. Bernice Wilso, who gave her

Mile. Bernice Wjlso, who gave her
address as 421 Dolores street, San Fran
cisco, caused considerable excitement
at the Rio Grande station, in Salt Lake
City, one night recently, by dropping
over 81 900 in gold twenties and green
backs on the crowded station platform.
Mile. Wilso, who says she is mil
liner, is a petite, pretty young woman.
She was on her way to visit her parents
in Paris, and, with womanly caution,
preferred cash to bills of exchange.
When she left San Francisco she had
81, 100 in gold and bills, whith she car
ried in big linen handkerchief tucked
away in . voluminous pocket so adjust
ed as to throw the weight of the money
on her waist belt.
When the overland train stopped at
Salt Lake City, little after
seven o'clock, Mile. Wilso, with
the other passengers, got out for
a walk up and down the long
platform. To assure herself that her
were safe, she pulled out the big linen
handkerchief. There was wild shrek,
the rattle of coins, and stampede of
people toward the young woman who
had shrieked Most of the gold had
disappeared between the cracks in the
platform. Falling on her knees to
suatch the money in sight, Mile. Wilso
lifted up voice of lamentatioD, shrek
rg that her money was going down
through the cracks.
A crowd of sympathetic passengers
quickly gathered, and moment later
two railway men, armed with big
crowbar, pried up the boards in the vi
cinity. There, in the rubbish beneath,
lay the errant coins. Mile. Wilso, as
sisted by numerous friends, speedily
picked up all in sight, but a hunt
through the rubbish was checked by
the warning call of the locomotive,
which forced the passengers on board.
Just how much she lost Mile. Wilso
doesn't know, as she doesn't know how
much she had at first; but there are
doubtless several coins yet under the
platform, for the railway officials pre-
vented any further search by peremp-
torily mailing down the planks as soon
as the train left bearing Mile. Wilso
and what was left of her cash. If any
more is found it will be forwarded to
the tourist by the railroad people.
