and entered the
market. Formed the camel trust and cornered the real estate market. The
market tumbled and so did J. Family troubles also distressed him. His
camels died of the colic or were stolen. J. went broke. Even in hard

Stock market; death to his comforters. Recreation: Sackcloth and ashes.
