They w rest led it long and earnestly and just before tbey "busted tbe bank,' "tbe boys." and tbe "gentleman from Ran doipti" were dead broke. "The boys" lost about $30 each, and tbe "gentleman from Randolph" proved to be none other than the celebrated Bob Uamiltoo, of Petroleum Cen tre, who always deals "a skin game," and bas now an enviable reputation as the most accomplished sabrper in tbe-oountry. "The boys," however, didn't pocket their I sseg like true sporting men, but played "the ba by game," threatening the "gentleman from Randolph" and tbe bank with arrest if tbev didn't give back tbe money.
