The story ho told the officers
began with the arrival uf a fairly
well dressed stranger who sat be

opened u conversation. Ho wanted
to know of a good placo to eat,
and after talking a little longer
Induced Hlnes to take 'a walk in

know the location of J)odgo street
and then entered Into conversation
with tho two. He declured ho came
from tho soflth and wus convinced
all northorn pooplo were poor
sports, whereupon tho first stran
ger challenged tho second to
mntch coins for ono dollar. Hlncs'
companion won the money and
there were several more matclilngs
until riually, he challenged tho
second stranger to match for $r00,
and the former won.
Tho threo were walking down

handed It to tho first stranger. Of
that amount $i0 was a travolcr'8
