Like Riley Grannon, Nick F.'s ca
reer was a succession of ups and
downs. There were times when his
fortune was to be measured by mil
lions, and there were other leaner.
more drab days, when he hadn't a
dime to his name and only an Sccu-
mulation of debts to show for the
years he had spent pursuing the
tickle goddess of chance.
Unlike Brady and Gates. and the
others Nick F was not a personal
spender. His wants were simple
and few. 1t was one Of his idio
syncracies that when he landed IN
the United States from Europe he
was wearing an eld.fashioned Gel
luloid collar. And he continued to
wear them to the time of his
death.
In this connection Tom Thorp
tells an interesting story. On a

playing a long price horse to

so, established a road into the Cha

type employed by crossing tenders,
showing red on one side and white
on the other. The red glass was
turned away from Holman. Mr.. vos

Mr.. Hoffman stated today that his
vision was clear but that the red
warning light was not turned toward
him.
When Erbe became aware Of the
Hoffman car. he quickly turned
and flashed the red side of the Ian
tern. Hoffman stopped within 4 few
feet, Mr.. Vos stated, but he was al.
ready on the tracks. His engine
stalled, and the eight occupants
piled out hastily just before the on

Estimates for the year ending
