PROPOSITION TO CoRBETT.
Butte Faro Dealer Asks Ex-Feather
Champion to Come Out and Win
His Bank Roll.

New York. Aug. 5.-Young Corbett
got a letter the other day from Butte,
Mont. from a faro dealer, wanting him
TO take the fret train out there and
win out a banSroll that the dealer was
prepared to toss off to him. The writer
explained to Young Corbett that his
winning out the roll would not create
any suspicion, as he was known to be
a high roller against the bank, and
such a long distance to make the play
When asked If he intended going after
the fortune the Montana dealer signf-
fed a willingness to toss Oft to him,
the little ex-featherweight champion
smiled one of those Carl Young smiles
and said that he guessed not fIf this

that L was to WIN his.
