HE BET ON A FAKE FIGHT.
DR.. Nelson Was Very Much Surprised
When He Lost His $4,000.

Salina, Kan, Jan. 7.-Involuntary
proceedings in bankruptcy were filed by
the creditors of DR. c. E. Nelson of
Phillipsburg, with Referee q. c. Mill
ken of the federal court in this city
Monday. DR.. Nelson has been fairly
prosperous AS a side line he raised fine
horses and has made considerable mon
ey by placing his speeders on the race
track
Two or three months ago, while on
trip to Denver, DR.. Nelson met two or
three men who gave him a tip on the
inevitable" result of a prize fight which
was to take place in few days. He
did not have the ready money at his
command, but he borrowed it of
friend. a retired druggist at Phillips
burg, $4,000 in ALL He returned to Den
yer and placed his money on the fight,
which was over in a short time. and,
result as was expected. In a few mo-
ments more the men were gone and so
were the $1,000.
In a few days the financial stringency
came on. The doctor still owed the
$4,000. He had other creditors who
heard of the Denver matter and they,
too, began to press. AS q last resort
the doctor was forced into the bank
ruptcy court. His liabilities are about
$4,000 and he claims that his assets
will reach $4,000. A few days ago re-
ceiver was appointed who took possess
sion of all the property.
The experience of DR.. Nelson recalls
that of Jonathan Davis, representative
from Bourbon county, who lost $5,0OO
on a foot race with the notorious
"Buckfoot" gang four years ago. Mr.
Davis. however. recovered his money
after long term Of litigation.
