Del Fountain Makes a Winning

1t is pretty hard to beat a real Idaho
sport, even if his wits are dulled by long
absence from the Gem of the Noun
tains. The task is evidently beyond
the capacity of che of the shrewdest
bookmakets i'll the county, as instanced
by story from the San Francisco race
track.
A horse named Forest King, supposed
to possess an Idaho pedigree, won the
other day at odds varying from Ico to IS
to /. Dell Fountain, the we'll known
Lewiston horseman, was strolling around
the betting ring when Frank Eckert, a
leading bookmaker. enticed him over to
his stand and iocularly asked the Idaho
man if he didn't want 500 on the horse
to show at toI Dell said he was will
ing, and seeing some easy money in
sight Eckert asked Fountain if he would
like another hundred on the nag for
place at 4 to l. Dell was sill willing
and Eckert boldly suggested that pos
sihly Fountain might care to risk an
other hundred on the horse to win at Il
to I. Sure Mike" said Dell, and
Eckert began figuring on how he was to
get the money down town. Dell saved
him the trouble, for Forest King won
pulled up by eight lengths.
Eckert's pleasantly cost him $2Ioo,
and he looked as cheerful as man who
had just been touched for his diamond
stud.
Fountain is reported to have had
number OF bets down on Forest King
with other bookmakers and the San
Francisco papers say he made quite
clean up.
