they might be the ones holding the
lucky (or uHlucky) ticket. Three
men are reported to have left
town, following the announcement.
Had they waited until o'clock
this afternoon, when the numbers
of the winning tickets were placed
in the store windows by Tom d.
Connell and his gallant assistants

it necessary to board train TO.

they didn't get it after all.
Anyway, no one had claimed the
baby at the hour The West Vlr-
ginian went to press taday. ana,
