"A Piker."

Mark Nelson received a letter from Jimmie Carr, from Mohall, in which Carr states that he is willing to meet Nelson for sixty per cent of the gate receipts, win or lose and wants a ring no smaller than 20 feet square. Carr seems to be what a true sport calls a "piker" and could not get a nigger to fight him on such terms as these.
