making the kick comes always in hurry,
will not let any one call up who may be
wanted but does the ringing himself;
which is contrary to the rules. By hang

the various places, and he does not stop
at calling one point, but calls four or
more at one time. He goes out after
using the phone and never tells who has
been called, and this makes trouble for
the one in charge of the station when
the monthly settlements are u be made.
When asked for the information, his
reply usually is "Oh charge it to the
Oyster Rock, ," or to some other place
where he IS supposed to carry on bust

WINE AGAINST DEATH
The Strange Wager Of Mexican War Vet.
s,,... Grams Nearing Decision.

- Chicago Tribune.
A wager between wine and death, made
fftytf1ve years ago, may soon be paid. In
the vault Of a bank at Covington, Ind, re-
poses a bottle of ancient vintage, the con-
tents of which will be drunk by the single
survivor Of a little band of twenty soldiers
Of the Mexican war. The wager is the
most unique Of the kind on record. After
the close of hostilities with Mexico twenty
of the veterans who went to the front
from Fountain county, indiana, met in re-
union. This was in 1849. It was voted to
assemble yearly thereafter on Thanksgiv-
ing Day. ~
At the first dinner a bottle Of wine was
presented to the little company and in a
half joking manner one suggested that the
bottle remain uncorked until but one sur
vivor remained, this one to quaff the wine
to the memory of those gone before. The
idea met with instant favor and it was so
agreed. Each year the annual dinner has
been held and each one more closely ce-
mented the ties Of comradeship formed on
the plains of Mexico. For years at the
annual gatherings the bottle has occupied
place of honor at the head Of the table
and was annually the subject of merry
jests and predictions as to who would be
the last survivor to drink it's contents. AS
the years passed and the little band be-
came reduced in numbers the jests ceased

Now there are seventeen who have
crossed the dark river, leaving three who
will likely assemble on next Thanksgiving
day. Of the three who are left all are
past 80 years of age and all know full

in 1849 must end. Each wonders to whom

DYING GAMBLER
FORGIYES SLAYER.
Fatally Shot in Holiday Crowd on
Broadway, Victim Alb
solves Prisoner.

New York, Nov. 25.-Guy Roche,
who was shot twice under the heart
in front Of the Hotel Marlborough last
evening, identified Frank FELTON,, whom
the police had already arrested, as the
man who shot him, when the prisoner
was brought before him in the hospital
today. In the presence Of FELTON, and
two detectives, Roche said that the
shooting was justified.
From the moment Roche was taken
to the hospital after the shooting in
the midst Of the holiday crowd on
Broadway, the surgeons told him that
his case was almost hopeless. The sur
geons joined with the police in pleading
with the wounded man to name his as
sallant, but every request had met with
a refusal until early today,
eff I live, I III settle the case. my
self; if I die, let it go at that, ;" was
his only answer
Today, however, after the physicians
had told Roche that he had practically
no chance for recovery, he consented to
have FELTON, brought before him, and
said he would identify him as the man
who fired the shot. When the prisoner
was brought to the wounded man IS bed
side, Roche said
yes, Frank shot me, but he was
Justified, would have done the same
to him.
Then, addressing FELTON,, who had ap-
parently not been moved in the least
by. this declaration, the dying gambler
said: - .s-.. +, N

Roche told the detectives that he
and FELTON, had quarreled, but that he
could not. recall the cause of the trou-
BILE. At the close of the interview the
wounded gambler turned to FELTON, as
he was being taken away and said to
him: ~. sx.

"sOh, don It act like that, Frank;
we re old pals, shake hands with me-
cried Roche. 49, n
FELTON, did not turn his head and the
detectives then took him away. FELTON,,
who denied he fired the shot, was later
arraigned in police court and held with
out bail for examination next Sunday.
t. The police believe that the trouble
between Roche and FELTON, which cul-
minated in the shooting arose over a
woman who had transferred her affec-
lions from Roche to. FELTON,.
