"BuNKo"-A New CHICAGO SwINDLE.-
The latest production of the cheats is game
called ''bunko." There are two Of these
'bunko' rooms on Washington street, one
east Of Clinton and the other west of Des-
PLANES. Several of these swindlers combine,
and all but one or two act as runners or
''ropers in, and visit the hotels and other
much frequented places in search of the uu!
wary,strauger last week one Of these ''ropers'
fell in with Californian who had plenty of
shekes. The roper piled him freely with Ii
quor, and after visiting several saloons, inform
ed him that he had lottery ticket which he
was going to present at an office on West Wash
ington street. The Californian readily assented
TO the invitation to visit the place, and the
roper took him to one of the "bunko"
rooms. Here they met business-like man,
who stood behind a counter, and the roper, III
a stranger-hke manner, produced his ticket and
asked if it had drawn prize. The clerk ex-
amned some books, apparently, and said it
had hit upon $500 in gold. And the money
was paid right over to the roper as if the
clerk had never seen him before. This aston
shed the Californian, of course The roper
also received number of small tickets, and
went into back room, followed by his dupe.
Here was nicely finished board, containing
stars, crescents, figures, &c., and man IN
charge of it. The repor played in his tickets
and won some money This so excited the
Californian that he readily purchased some
tickets, played them in and lost. And he play

haustcd, when he rushed from the place with
the sympathetic(?l roper, dead broke ira
weller, who had spent years in accumulating
the sum lost While playing the dealer would
allow him to win occasionally, for it is game
which the former has full control of. Thus
goaded on, the stranger lost all he was possess
