was she left a woman?

Beaujon spoke with difficulty, for

MADE HIS FORTUNE

If there was any serious crime at

of the Indians with whisky. The gov

effects of debauching the Indians, and
enacted strict laws with harsh penal
ties. Astor's company brazenly vio-

trick of getting the Indians drunk and
then swindling them of their furs and
land was carried on by Astor on an
unprecedented scale.-From Meyers
