I'D GAINES, a well known book
- maker died the other day, prac-
ticaIly pennlIess. Gaines once cleaned
up 100000 laying against the big
wagers made by the late Mike
Dwyer He stood on the lawn at
Gravesend one day, many years ago,
and saw Circular Joe Vendig, Dryers
commissioner, hustling toward the
betting ring to place $4,000 on a l to
favorite.
How much have you got?" asked
Gaines, who had a trife more than
$4,000 in his jeans.
Ten thousand replied Vendig
Tu lay ! TO A." replied Gaines.
THAT is better than ! to in the
ring"
Gaines got the big bet, standing to
lose 81, 500 and the favorite was beat
en-. With his winnings he proceeded
to lay better prices than the regular
bOUkmakeTs whenever Nendig came
his way and soon he had a fortune.
old gamblers tell another yarn to
~ the effect that Gaines awoke one
morning in a hall bedroom to find that
he had three cents. He received d
request to remit the amount Of a tail
or's bill. Gaines went to a neighbor-
ing saloon and offered to match the
three pennies and the two-cent stamp
against a nickel. The bartender con-
scented and Gaines won. Before he
left the thirst parlOr ne had run his
nickel into $50. and that afternoon he
went to the race track where he put
the half century on a 90 to l shot
which won the first race. He beat
the card and had $50 600 in his inside
pocket at shutdown. The gamblers
say this isn't fairy tale.
a GOOD story is going the rounds in
the National League regarding
an error made by Larry Doyle in a
close game and a call given him by
Manager McGraW.
When the Giants were going badly
two or three weeks ago and every
body was kicking the ball, McGraw
called Larry Doyle, the good natured,
to him after a game and took up with
him the matter Of an error he had
made which figured largely in the de-
feat of the Giants
Well" replied Larry you've got
to hand il TO me, boss I make all
my errors when they count.
This answer disarmed MCGraW.
You're a great little pinch error
maker admitted MCGraw.'

STREET BATTLE
AT ZION CITY
DOwieiteS and Tobacco Users
in Serious Clash.

Zion City, ILL.,, April 3.-One woman
was arrested and several men we're in
jured in a street fight between Zion
City crusaders and City Marshal John
l.. Hoover. The trouble grew out OF
the dispute between Wilbur Glenn
voliva. head of the church founded by
John Alexander Dowie, and employees
of the Cook Electrical company.
Three thousand church members
gathered across the street from the
Cook factory and urged the employees
of the Cook concern to join their
ranks and stop using tobacco.
City Marshal John j. Hoover dis
persed the crowd.
Later fifty crusaders started to
march to the factory Hoover and four
deputies halted them and ordered
them to dispense. A battle ensued.
John Darling, blind, was one OF the
men alleged to have been injured.
Hoover and his men are said TO
have knocked down Mrs. Sally Mitch
ell, seventy-six years old, Mrs. John
Henry and Miss Ellen A. Lloyd. Miss
Lloyd later was arrested, but the 9TH
ers were allowed to go.

GAINESVILLE LOSS is HEAVY
Fifteen Thousand People Being Fed
at Relief Stations.

GAINESVILLE, o., April 3.--This city,
comparing its size of 10000 population
with others which have been flooded.
is one of the greatest losers financial
ly. The monetary loss will be be-
tween $17,000,000 and $20,O00,000, ae-
cording to estimates by business mems
organizations.
The river broke through its banks
and flowed over the lower and middle
business sections, cutting across fully
two-thirds of the business district. 1t
also swept away a large number of in
dustries. These losses range as high
as 100000.
Relief stations have been feeding
$4,000 people for the last week. Many
Of these people are homeless, as 500
to 1000 homes were either swept
away or ready to collapse and several
thousand are damaged. The food cut
swath mile and a half wide
through the city.

BIG WAREHOUSE C0LLAPSES
Five Thousand Barrels of Whisky
Lost at Louisville.

Louisville, KY, April 3.-Weakened
by flood waters a large warehouse of
the Rugby Distillery company in the
western end of the city collapsed, re-
leasing to the river about 5000 bar
rels of whisky, valued at $250,000.
The threatened collapse of other
weakened buildings is the only source
of anxiety as the crest of the flood
passed Louisville with a stage of
slightly more than forty-five feet.
Lower river points continued to ex-
perience rising water. Paducah, with
water standing more than two feet
deep in the lower sections of the city
was deprived of the use of the light
ing plant. Henderson and Owens
burg, safe from flood damage them
selves, are taxed with the care of
refugees.
At Wyckliffe, where are gathered
more than 5000 refugees from Hick-
man, Cairo and Columbus, the shelter
situation was becoming acute.
