They were the owners- all rich then, but nine of them due to be poorer in a few minutes. There were W. R. Coe, Standard oil mines; Colonel Bradley, who once owned the Del Prado hotel in Chicago and whose racing stable, the Idle Hour Farm, has derived many benefits from a clothing store he formerly...
