Dramatic Story of How
Big Jack Walker Played
Fate and Won
BpeoUI to The World.
IIANNA Dec. 20. From a lonu
farm house in tho Canadian bot-
toms several miles cast of llanna
comes a dramatic story of how
"Big Jack" Walker bet with death
and death lost.
It was there on lost Tuesday
night that Jackson Walker a
bachelor of three Bcore years and
seven who came west from Ken-
tucky in the wild years before
Btatehood died "as ho had lived."
Always a unlqua character he
mingled freely In tho stormy eo-
cloty of an epic ago but with tho
exception of an inordinate lure
that gambling held for him his
faults were few and ho was a gen-
erous friend.
As ho lay with the Icy dew of
death upon Ilia brow ho piteously
entreated the assembled friends
who hud gathered round him
many u midnight gambling table
in the past for a last game to-
gether. But hardened gamble
though some of them had boon In
their bygone years they tearfully
hesitated in tho solemnity of tho
final hour.
'Then" exclaimed the dying man.
"Death and I shall play until the
end."
Tho ruling passion of a lifetime
still held undisputed dominion.
They gavo him his well worn
deok of cards.
"I'll wager you Death $10 that
you take mo this time."
"I'll make it $20 that you es-
cape mo" Death was talking
Walker explained in delirium.
Outside tho wintry winds
moaned through the cedars but
only the ticking of the clock toll-
ing tho last fleeting seconds of an
ebbing life fitlrred tho sepulchral
silence within.
Soon the silonco was broken by
an almost inarticulate whisper
"Death does take me and I win"
Tho clock struck the midnight
hour Just as the veteran gambler
lifted tho mystic curtain and
peored through tha palo portal of
shades his last great gamble with
destiny done.
