little money on gin and gambling.
He never was high roller. On the

very fond Of his family. What broke

him for went into bad Investments.
He lost money at nearly everything

Would Fitz bubble over two pounds?
1t seems that certain Californians
have in measure distressed Fitz
financially In writing of his condi-
Ition Bob Edgren says:
Major NIL, California million
Laire and politician, came to Fitzsim-
mons in a hurry couple Of years
ago and asked for a hurried loan OF
$4,000. He explained that he had
just come in from Europe, had a
party Of friends to entertain and
was unable to get the money here
quickly enough for his purpose. Fits
hustled out and raised the sum. The
major never returned a cent.
| Another California acquaintance
made Fritz a friendly visit a short
time ago and went away with 5000
which he borrowed to take him on I
trip to Chicago. This man ha.

repaying the loan. Fitz has always
been the easy mark for these graft
