the story of coming from Seattle

losing all his money. He wanted

some breakfast. He had had moth

although the bum had eaten a
hearty meal the night before and
had egg stains on his jowl at the
time
He got nothing this time.
Ten minutes later he was in the
Maze saloon again, begging quar-
ter and a drink from Lou Hunt.
Lou referred the man to The Press
representative and stated he (The
Press NAM was the owner of the
saloon. Mr.. Hunt had been in

The bum walked to The Press
man and was about to ask for 25
cents when he remembered the

friend in Butte. He will help you

man. They separated and the
original "give-me-a-quarter-man"
was followed. He went to Dur

man to have drink. He took
whiskey in long glass. It was
nothing but whiskey. He then
went to the Los Angeles Wine COM

other drink. He took whiskey in

The man was then lost for about
two hours. When next seen he
was on the corner of Sprague and
Monroe and had secured a drink

Occur d'Alene saloon and met his
friends. He bought drink, break
ing a dollar. The dollar had been
in his pocket all the time.

man, slightly under the weather,
was met and touched for 25 cents

three buns. They went to the Club
cafe, where one of the men bought
three drinks of whiskey, paying 40
cents for the same. They went in
to the restaurant and purchased
three steaks, some friend potatoes,
coffee and pie, and paid $120 for
