Loses Dollar Two Ways.

Columbus, O. —Mike Popovltch, a young Pole, lost a dollar In a bet the other day in a double sense. He bet he could throw up a silver dollar and! catch it In his mouth. He got it in his mouth all right as it descended, but the coin entered with such momentum that before he could stop it it had passed down into the aesophagus, where it stuck. He was taken, in great agony, to a hospital, where surgeons succeeded in remov-l ing the dollar.
