enthusiasm.
After the programme the floor was

A LIFE THE STAKE
Loser in Game of Poker Went
to His Death.
scripps-McRae Press Assn.

Scripps-McRae Press Assn.
New York, July IA life was in
the pot" when four men sat down to
play poker on the banks of the Passaic
river yesterday. None of then, how
ever, as they jested over the game,
dreamed of it. The men were on an
outing near the village of Singac.
They were Edwin Koch. John Herzig.
Frank Stopung and Hermann Sonner.
They walked along the bank until
they reached point opposite the In
dependent club. Then they sat down
to rest and one suggested a game cf
poker.
What for?" asked Koch.
"Oh, for matches" another answer
ed, and SO they used matches for chips.
Let's 60 over to the boat house."
some one suggested presently,
What will we cross the river in?"
asked another,
wen play jackpot, and the man
with the lowest hand will swim over
and get boat" said third, and so it
was arranged.
Koch lost. When the others saw
that he really meant to pay the bet
end swim over for the boat they urged
him not to do so. They pointed out
the danger and begged him to cross by
the bridge. He prided himself on his
swimming, however. and plunged into
the stream. first tying the key of the
boat house around his neck. He was
within ten feet of the opposite shore
when his companions saw him throw
up his hands and sink. 1t was many
hours before his body was recovered.
