Show BETTERS VS. LEONORA SAID TO SWEAT BLOOD Several days ago Leonora "put over" a magnificent sale of ten shares of stock at 6 cents, at which the dozen brokers whom smiling "Dock" West had inveigled into a bet that the stock would not reach that figure felt their hearts slipping down into their boots. Yesterday this dagger was given another twist in the flesh when a block of 6000 shares slipped over the board at 6 cents. April 6, or tomorrow, was the limit on the wager. It is said that the betters numbered a baker's dozen and they amounted to $5 as high as $2 5 each.- Herald-Republican. |
