PLAYED cRUsoE ON A BET
Cleveland Nan Lost Wager ON RIss-
t&oo and Lived Twelve Yeazs
|. on Island.

After living Robinson Crusos exist
sncs for more than IL years on Pancake
rock, one Of the Thousand islands in the
st. Lawrence river, Samuel R. Dean, of
Cleveland, has left his desert island to 90
out into the world again, says Water
town. N. Y, dispatch.
Mr.. Dean took up his residence there
a. the result of an election bet made in
1882. The terms Of the wager were that
II he lost he was to live on the most des-
olate spot he could nnd In the Thousand
islands until a republican president had
been elected three times In succession.
Although supplied with provisions,
Dean was to see no human being except
the ferryman who brought supplies
every six months During the Cleveland
Harrison campaign Mr.. Dean made the
bet with Frederick R. Peters in q London
club. Had the Englishman lost he was
to have led the same existence on the
Shetland islands until a democratic pres
ldent was elected thrice.
After the election Peters released
Dean from the agreement, but the latter
Insisted on paying the bet in the fullest
measure and commenced his fife in exile
in June, 1892. Peters died about lvs
years ago because Of worry over the fail
ure of Dean to leave the island.
The morning after the last election
Dean was taken from the island to Mon
lreal. At that time he claims his beard
was about three feet long and his hair
about the same length. He had become
accustomed to life on the island and az
ter visit to Cleveland, where an agent
has settled up his affairs. he will return
and write a book on his experiences.
