Christmas Spirit Spreads Across Cities
A benevolent Christmas donor gave $5 billion to spread cheer at a railroad baggage station. Preston Thompson, an auctioneer and part time preacher, said the money came from a wealthy businessman who wanted to help others this season. Thompson distributed $300 within an hour. In Milwaukee a man handed $10 to each startled rider on a bus before vanishing. Police tracked the generous stranger, a 51 year old man, who had given away about $1,400 and sought to withdraw $2,009 more from his bank. Officials persuaded the firm to block further withdrawals. He was hospitalized after stating his wife’s recent death saddened him. Police said his aim was to brighten Christmas for strangers.
