Last night there was a crowd of 80
or more .men, most of them evidently
working men of the poorer class and a
liberal sprinkling of "professional" gam
blers crowded into a second story room
in ti,e rear of the "club." There were
two games of black jack and poker run

around the faro - table. passing ' their

The sheriff ' has a deputy In MIN

the laws are enforced, Including the one

There was Plenty of direct evidence

there has been for several weeks.

"Frenchy," was In charge as of yore,

When, the offer of a dollar bet was
made to the banker of the faro game he
replied that nothing less than $10 would
be accepted by him. ' . v ;
"Times have been too Jiard for us to
