NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 80.
Geo. Croker, the man who
made 100000 by refraining
from overindulging in intoxicants
for five years, is dying of cancer.
His father, the late Chas. Crocker,
California pioneer and associate
of Flood, Fair and Mackay-
'49ers-left s60,000,000 to his
children when he died in 1888,
but stipulated that in this his son
should have no share till for the
space of five years continuously he
shall abstain from liquors to the
extent that shall not during this
period have been intoxicated.
In 1891 Geo. Croker notified
his brothers that his abstinence
had begun. And he made good.
Upon a Utah ranch he worked for
three years, converting a valueless
ranch into a property that has
ever since paid we'll.
Two years later he received his
$6,600,000. Since then he has de-
voted his business life to carrying
on the companies started by his
father. He is director of a score
of large corporations, notably
many Pacific coast Improvement
companies.
