A Sport and His Money soon Part

An exchange calls attention to a case at Remington as again demonstrating the fact that a sport and his money are soon parted. A few years ago the sport referred to lived in Remington and was worth $25,000 to $30,000. He left there and shortly after ward, a prominent married woman left and it was rumored that the pair were together on the Pacific slope. His wife left him and piece by piece his property interests in Remington were disposed of until the other day the last of his holdings, mortgaged for nearly all it was worth, passed into other hands. The little he got out of this deal is said to be the last of his fortune, and there will be few of his old sporting cronies to sympathize with him. — Herald.
