A few weeks ago five st. John gentle
ment purchased five tickets in a lottery
called the Honduras lottery, really
nothing more than the old Louisiana
The drawing in this lottery takes place
about the eighth of each month, but it
is generally a week or so before the
holders of tickets receive a list of the
successful numbers The five ticket
holders mentioned above each took a
list of the numbers and gave one of
the party the tickets to hold. The day
before yesterday a welI-known party
in this city called upon the gentleman
holding the tickets and offered him
81 so for each one. This was refused.
The visitor asked the privilege of look
ing at the tickets, and this was grant
ed While the caller was examining
called away for a few minutes, but he
afterward received from his visitor the
tickets back again or what he thought
was the same tickets. When the list
arrived there was a gathering of
the five to compare the tickets with the
list. The first number brought forth
nothing, neither did the second and
third, but, to their surprise, the fourth
number on the list awarded $4,000.
Then there was great rejoicing, but
when the ticket was looked for, 10! and
behold, it was not there! Another, ac-
cording to their story, had been sub
stituted. Indignation and disappoint-
ment knew no bounds. The visitor was
looked for, but the only information to
Boston. 1t is in that city the money
is paid over The visitor is probably
today walking down the easy side
of Easy street in the Hub, while our
townsmen are bewailing the loss of
$4,000 each.
