in his little house, but proceeded to
furnish it with splendor. He told the
men whom he hired to improve his
place that he had money to burn"
and he paid the highest wages end
employed some Of San F-en::sso's best best
workmen. The other Flora brothers
invested their share of the golden dis

free water. One day the big engine
got out Of order, flooded the whole
country with water, caveG in the sides
OF the we'll, and toppled into the ruins.
Thus was literally washed away much
Of the Flora wealth. While Bert
Flora's Eouse was being. frescoed for
the third or fourth time, he suddenly
discovered that all his money wes
gone, 80 he again turned laborer with
his brothers, with pick and shovel
earning $1.2t day.
George Bayles received as his share
Of the money $4,000. With this he
purchased o lot Of fine Oriental china
and went into the business Of hand

and broke up the stock in trade. An
other Bayles brother put his money in
mines. which failed in very short

Jack Williams was cheated out of

The man who stole the money never
enjoyed penny of it and lived and
