A Woman's Luck in Little Heaven
A frugal miner's wife, Mrs. Dickson, visits Blodgett's Little Heaven to gamble for their gold prospects. She bets on 14 and 27, building a streak of big wins until cashing in with about $41,500, then leaving the scene as the crowd cheers and the crowd's roughness protects her. A separate note reports Howard's five year restraint sentence in New Westminster after pleading guilty to a separate gun incident.
