' RICH SINGLE DAY Discoverer of Cripple Creek Gambles $10,000,000 Away in a Night. Man Died Yesterday. The death of Robert Womack at Colorado Springs yesterday calls to mind, a most pathetic story of fortune won and lost in a day. Womack was the dis coverer of Cripple Creek and filed on claims worth $10,000,000. While drunk and in a gambling den he sold his claims for $500 and lost that at faro. Womack was the son of a "Forty-niner," Robert Womack, Sr., who in the latter eighties left to his son the heritage of a dream that the gold which the father had sought in vain for 40 years would be revealed, near Cripple Creek if the son kept up the search. The father died; young Womack took his place as a prospector, and in spite of the jeers of others, ranged close about the Creek country with shovel and divining rod for 20 years. One day out he hit the yel low ledge. His friends told him it was "fool's gold;" his brother-in-law and partner took it to the nearest assay office only after five days of protest. He came back with a government certifi cate to show that the ' 'find' ' aver aged $1100 to the ton. That news made Bob Womack one day and broke him two days afterward. For, after staking out every claim throughout the length and breadth of . the gold lead, he went to town, spent all his nuggets over a bar and at a nearby roulette table, sold all his claims for $500 more in order to make a final wager on the red and a . week later was digging gold with a shovel for the man who had bought his rights to one of the :- greatest mines the world has ever known. - For the last five years of his ife' Womack had been too de crepit to work. For two years he had lain bedridden in a little odging house cared for by ah elder sister. Two Bargains in City Homes Two corner lots, with one house of 7 rooms under construction.
