HE WAS SANE. Jerry Boyle Disgust*: the Ft. Worth Gamblers. Ft. Worth, Texas, Nov. I.—A seedy looking individual, giving his name as Jerry Boyle, arrived in the city Saturday evening from the West. He was solemn looking, wore a ministerial suit of black and looked as though he might have been a country preacher off on a vacation. He registered at a cheap hotel, ate dinner, dalled it supper, and started out to see the city. About 2 o’clock yesterday morn ing complaint was made at the po lice station by several members of the gambling profession, charging that he was crazy, but, as he was perfectly sane he was liberated. It appears that Boyle’s earthly possession® when he arrived in the ' , 'ty amounted to 25 cents, and it Be? is his sanity was questioned on account of his mania for more. His first move was to enter a do vn-town gambling house. Here he found himself on the sunny side of Easy street, and in a short time he was several hundred dollars in the lead Fickle fortune continued to smile on him, and he visited every gam bit g hall in the city,and in tbe space ofabuut five hours bis win nings amounted to something over $7,0u0. Ou his arrival in the city ue was sized up as a green angel, one of the s <rt that is always will ing to cash a draft tor some nev> y made acquaintance, jbut for fear I mat he would remain in the city' longer the owners of the elephants and ligers escorted him to' the Union Depot last night and saw mm safely off to Dallas. 4*.
