Jack Johnson was under a 100000
cash bond which he put up himself,
when he took leave of his native land.
He has now taken out naturalization
papers as a citizen of France, and
says he will never again set foot on
American soil. 1t comes little high
for Jack to stay out of this country,
but because Of the thin crater on
which he was standing, he no doubt
thinks it is worth the price.
