had a delightful vacation and a rest
that has been invigorating. There is
little good hunting m the Cascadia vi

year, twenty or more camps being in
there most of the summer. The soda
springs are very fine according to Mr.
Hollenburg. On arrival Saturday he
was surprised to discover that Coryallis
is about as cool as the mountain resort
he had just left.

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.
