FARMER LOSES $3,700 AT ROULETTE Phi linns one of the most exciting gambling events in the recent history of Pendleton, was pulled off In a Main street saloon from 11 o'clock yester day morning until 1 o'clock this morn ing, or for a continuous whirl of 14 hours. a a a result, a Dromlnent farmer has lost about 13700 at roulette, and the game has won enough money to even ud for past winnings of this same player. Beginning with a grim determina tion yesterday morning to either break the game or "go broke," this skillful player seated himself in a chair before the roulette wheel, ana In 14 hours succeeding never moved from his seat, nor scarcely looked up from the numbers on the table before him. At one time he was over 18000 ahead of the game, but was determin ed lo "bust" the game or go broke himself, and so did not quit. Up and down the varying fortune ran, at times giving evidence of a lucky streak, and at times showing nothing hut loes after loss for the player. The gambling room was - open to the publlo and large crowds filled the place and Interested spectators watched tht progress of the exciting contest. A limit of five chips straight up, was placed upon the player, but he could play 180 on the center row of numbers, this paying two for one, or I ISO if he won. At times there was as much as 13000 In sight, and as the fortune of the player and the game, ebbed and receded, the crowds elbowed In closer to watch the Intense struggle. Play ers from other saloons quit their games lo go over and watch this game to tne iinish. At 1 o'clock this morning, after the player had put over 13700 In shining 120 gold pieces Into the cof fers of the game, he picked up bis last two twenties and slipped them into his vest pocket, saying as he did so: "I still have enough left to start another game on." When the player arose from the chair he was "groggy" from the long struggle, and acted like a drunk man, although he does not touch liquor while playing. . i The annual convention of the Uma tilla County Sunday School Associa tion will be held this year at Milton from February 28 to March 3, In clusive.
