SOLD CRIPPLE CREEK
FOR one CAROUSAL
ROBERT WoMACK, WHO PARTED
WITH FORTUNE OF, $2so,oo0.ooo
DIES A DEPENDENT.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. IA
story of a carouse that cost s2sO,0oO,-
900, minus $500, was recalled yesterday
by the death Of Robert Womack, who
discovered all that gold at Cripple
Creek and sold It for $500, so that
he might booze to his hearts content
for once. He died dependent on a
sister, who keeps a boarding house.
Born in Kentucky sixty six years
ago, Womack's father brought his fam
lily to Colorado in the early SOS. The
family raised cattle on the land they
,homesteaded, near Cripple Greek.
After some years the elder Womack
sold his herds and, with his son VIII
liam, came here.
Finds Gold After Years
Robert, believing there was gold
around Cripple Greek, remained there,
After years Of fruitless search he
found traces Of gold in piece of float
rock which he picked up while riding

Theodore Lowe.
......a -~,,e on six-days' ride to
Denver to have the rock assayed,
Womack went on about his work.
Lowe returned with an assayer's cer-
tifcate that the piece of float rock
gave returns Of $3.50 In gold to the
ton.
The next morning Womack and
Lowe. went to the place where Wo-
mack found the rock, In what is known
now as Poverty Gulch, just outside the
limits of the present town OF Cripple
Creek.
Lowe grew tired OF the search. Wo-
mack persisted. In January, 1901, he
dug a prospect hole in what Is known
as the Ell Paso lode Of the Gold Kine
property, A few days later he struck
the bonanza lode. He could not stand

spree. and sold his bonanza for $500.

Then, crazed with drink and success
Womack jumped on his broncno and
rode through the streets, brandishing
his six-shooter and proclaiming his
secret. The next few days witnessed
one OF the biggest rushes to the scene
of mis- discovery that the west has
ever known.
When Womack sobered up, two or
three days later. he returned to the

Chicago. Aug. 12.-That the Bible is

ris urges that the coming scriptures be
awaited with eager and. open mind"
According to the Philadelphia pas
tor, the value Of the Bible rests upon
its moral and devotional influence
rather than upon any inspirationaI
method. Modern controversies over
the mythology Of the Bible he re-
gadrs as unimportant compared to the
