found a fragment of gold-bearlnj

edge. By a thousand-tc-one shot,
' they dug a trench and discovered

first tragedy of the new gold rush.
As months slipped by they lost con

Bhortly afterward Dew sold his
ahare for $1,000. Townsend and his
associates bought hint oat " -

a syndicate offered Holmes

and his father, who own 60 per
cent of the claim, $10,000 for the

A new racket has recently been
developed which Is closely akin to
the graft pf prohibition days when
a man, presumably a steward off a
boat that had Just docked, Called
op -and offered liquor "Just off the
boat" A suave-voiced man called
Mrs. Gran tl and Rice and said he
was a steward on a liner that had
brought to this country some surf
boards and other attractive prod
ucts of the Hawaiian islands which
had been shipped to Mr. Rice by
Duke Kahanamoku as a token of
bis. esteemi Unfortunately, there
had . been an error in landing di
rections and the xlfts had been left
at Norfolk, where there was duty
of . some ; $26 each. . If Mrs. Rice'
would give htm. the $26, the accom
modating steward " would see that
the -native '-products ; of ;HaWali
reached her husband.:-, i:9M's-ii:&
I As Hawaii Is" United .States terri
tory. It didn't occur to Mrs. Rice
that there . could be no duty on
products of these Islands. . But she
did think $26 was a bit high. Still
she finally agreed to pay $4.65 which
waa supposed to' start the bail, and
surf boards rolling in the right di
rection. ;. . A young -man called for
the money. That seemingly ended
the transaction,, and nothing, has
been heard from him since. It is
reported that this racket is being
worked . rather, generally' among
prominent sporting people, some of
whom . may be susceptible to a bit
of flattery. ' ,
