A new nickel in the slot machine made
its appearance in the city yesterday and
was placed on exhibition at one of the

one lost any money and the crowd fairly
fell over itself getting in to play COM
binations to beat the machine. One
dropped his nickel in the slot and two
came out in the box; sometimes a check

quite frequently a dollar Finally a fell

graphs there are in various portions of
