tho case has apparently been drop
ped. Bales and stacks of the phony
stuff wero scattered about the place
and Smith bare-facedly admitted
that he'd hare every cent of it In
circulation within tho next three
days.
"It's all bull," said Smith as he
nlftlly manipulated a lever and ex
tracted a thousand dollar's worth of
bunk from the press, "and I'm going
to get away with It.
''It's llko this, see," he added con
fidential. "The boys are figuring on
pulling off something big over at
the Elk's hall tonight, tomorrow
night and every blame night this
week. They've took the ceiling off
tho place and there alnt enough real
coin In town to last tho crowd n
minutes when they get to going
good. They got to have money, see.
and I'm a purvldln' It. For which I
claims I'm eliminated from tho crlm
inal class and should be ranked as
public benefactor."
The old-tlmo west, wild and wooly,
will bo busted wide open for the en
tertainment and edification c
wide world nt. the Elks femplo 'to
Ight, and tho management aro pre
paring to rocelvo tho biggest crowd
in history. Klondike and crap
games, roulette, faro, draw, stud and
chuch-a-luck will flourish as In days
of yore. Danco hall nnd bar will lure
tho unwary pilgrim from the range
or the desert and tho lid will be lift
ed cloar off its hinges for three big
nights.
For thoso who have been part of
tho old west and seen Its strong men
and wenk men, goo'd men nnd bad
men, pass In review, the sceno will
conjure up old memories. For those
who hnvo nbsorbod their informntlon
of tho oldon days from books and
moving pictures it will bo a revela
