After a tour about the city in a
horse drawn carriage during which he
imbibed beverages available in those
pre-Butler days, Johnny asked the
driver if his wife likead diamonds.
Strange to relate the driver said
“Yes,” whereupon, according to the

Succumbing at last to the inherent
inertia of his environs, Johnny junket-

next to Steele as one of Broadway’s
greatest spenders. Thaw dispensed
'diamond tiaras and pearl necklaces
to the guests at his “beauty dinners”
in a manner only a little less specta-
cular than were some of the esca-

have scattered approximately ten mil-

“Death Valley Scotty” was believed
to have been “staked" by ambitious
Westerners who were eager to ex-
ploit “gold mines” in Death Valley.
Scotty’s own brother was shot while
guiding a party of Eastern engineers
in a search for the “mine,” whose ex-
istence afterward was very much
doubted. Scotty is now prospecting in
