That Lucky Seven

Out of some sixty guesses
made by as many individuals at
the Mittelstaedt store, as to the
time of the arrival of the Chicago
letter at Seattle in the Yellow
stone trail relay race, Miss Lizzie
Sawatke, who is employed by
the W. NJ. Thomas family, came
the nearest to guessing the pre-
else time in which the trip was
made-putting it 81 hours
Z minutes and Z seconds. The
actual time was 81 hours and 8
minutes. 1t is believed that Ed.
Emanuel had advised her in re-
gard to that ''lucky seven, after
he had gone into a trance that
lasted Z hours, 7 minutes and z
seconds, and all the young lady
had to do was to add the 80 to
these figures and she had a lead
cinch grip on the right numbers
