Canadian Who Guessed, Lost, Wait-
ed and Was Ont 500.


A Canadian named NJ. W. Thompson.
who arrived In Seattle yesterday morning
from Toronto. Is wiser than ne was twen-
ty-four hours ago. Thompson rushed into
the police station about 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon and gasped out something
in which the words lone hundred dollars
were mixed UP. After he had regained his
breath he told that he had fallen in with
Iron Foot" johnson. who had showed
him a game in which he was to guess a
card. Thompson remarked that for sew
eral guesses he was all right and the
game was an easy one.
Then Iron Foot moved that they bet
500 on the game. and the Canadian want
ing TO make money easy, agreed. He put
up 500 and Iron Foot" put up his check
for s.. 200. johnson had confdante who
held the stakes Thompson guessed He
guessed hard. but he lost He took the
check, however for security that the
game was only for fun. Then Johnson
rocked away down the street on the iron
extension to hts leg that has earned him
his sobriduet. Thompson felt sure that
he had been jobbed. but the confederate
said, Come along with me: can get at
least 500 on this check. the ho,slkeeper
will cash 1t for me-"
The Toronto man agreed. When they
got to the hotel the confederate told aim
10 wait on the sidewalk while he went in
and made the raise OF the hundred
Thompson waited and waited until his
patience was exhausted. Then he went
into the hotel and found that the man
with the check had not been seen. He
was out his hundred and didn't even have
the worthless check. He got 10 the police
station Just as the Northern Pacific ard
Great Northern trains were pulling out
The police expressed the belief that John
son was literally on velvet. riding out OF
town.
Three weeks ago Johnson. who f. coz
sidered one of the snaoothest confidence
men on the Pacific coast, reported TO the
police his presence in the city, but prom
ised TO be good.
