tory, and his genial, courtly manner*,
made him a favorite with visitors. He
returned from there to Omaha sev
eral months ago.

a printer. He was probably the most
enthusiastic baseball fan Omaha ever
produced, an ardent fisherman, and a
walking chronological table. Several
winters spent in Cuba gave him a
deep undedatandlng of horse racing,
toe.
