The music, dancing and Teutonic maidens awakened memories of Faderland until our German friend was carried away with rapture.

He evidently had money, and was spending if freely.

Late in the evening Jack Williams and Andy Blessington invited him down stairs to take a cup of coffee.

Williams proposed a game of cards and went up stairs to procure a deck, but not finding any returned.

On the stairway he met the German, and drawing his pistol knocked him down and rifled his pockets of some seventy dollars.
