GOT EASY MONEY
At RENO
Solution of the Problem of
What Became of ALI the
Jeff. Money.

Seattle, Aug. EVERY man who
visited Reno month ago and saw
the ton of money there ready to bet
on Jeffries, has often wondered what
became of all the money bet on "The
Hope
The writer was one of those who
wondered who got all that money
that was dumped in on jeff at the
juicy odds of 10 to and to 1. A
story that many account for some of
that coin has just drifted North 1t
has never been printed in any of the
Frisco papers, SO if the story is on
the square, the secret has been we'll
guarded.
According to a wise guy who has
just arrived in Seattle after an alb
sence of a month or more, a group
of sure-thing gamblers congregated
in Reno from Frisco, Seattle, Chica-
go and New York, had their hearts
bowed down with grief and woe at
the sight of all that easy money to
bet on Jeff, for they had no plan to
get it.
Finally one of the quartet hit upon
the happy plan of starting a fake
pool room in which all bets would be
taken on Jeff to win. They did not
have a bank roll of any kind They
never figured on paying off any losses
but they determined to take chance,
with the penitentiary in order to grab
off some of that easy money which
simply flooded Reno two days before
the fight.
According to the stormy petrol who
has just returned to Seattle, that fake
pool room took care of about $3.50
600 of Jeffries money. The sure
thing men had a bunch that the
negro would win, but if he lost they
had nothing with which to pay off.
They were a game buch, all right,
but even they were not game enough
to face an angry mob down in Ne
vada and refuse to pay off in case
jeff won. So they gathered up the
easy money that had been dumped
in on them, put it in nice, new suit
case, and they were on train head
ed East while THE Hope" was get
ting the tar licked out of him by the
negro.
They had lost all interest in the
fight after getting the last cent of
Jeffries money they could grab be-
fore the crowd started for the arena.
As things turned out, they would
have been perfectly safe in sticking
around Reno, for none of the tickets
they issued would have been pre-
scented, but they did not dare fiirt
with fate too far, so they took it on
the run while the battle was in pro-
gress.
If this dope is right, that would &C
count for quite a chunk of coin that
was bet on JEFF. AS matter of fact,
it was hard to find any one in Reno
who had won money on the fight.
There were winners there, of course.
but they were few in number COM
pared with the hundreds who dropped
their wads on ''The Hope"

Grange News.

Squillchuck, Aug 6.-Bee Hive
Grange held one. of its interesting
meeting Wednesday evening. Seven
candidates, Mr.. and Mrs. Jerome
Morris, Olive Morris, A. Sutton.
Chas. Morse, Floyd Cranmer and
Ralph W. Marshall, were introduced
to our bucking billy goat who took
them through the first and second
degrees. No bones were broken. AS
luck would have it the goat was very
tame owing to the large class initi-
ated.
Following the initiation, a contest
| between the married and single peO-
pie as to who were the best speakers
was held, which consisted of one
pathetic and one comic recitation
| from each side and also one person
! from each side read an article. The
single folks proved best. The con-
testants on the single side were Miss
Mable Ray, who recited "Laska" and
| lSldore DykkeStSOn who rec1ted A
Biography of Negro" and a reading
| by Will Hampton. The married, or
| 'hen-pecks' were Mrs. Ed Smith, who
recited "a Dying Child's Vision" and
Mrs. Jas. Hampton who recited "The
Counting Dutchman," and areading
by Mrs. Geo. Steinacre
Visitors from the Beacon Hill
Grange were Mr.. and Mrs. c. A. Fer

August 18th, when the candidates
and a few who took the first two de-
grees will be given the third and

will be furnished by the loosers in
the recent contest. A feast also will
be one of the features of the evening.
