AGreat Game of Draw.

Pueblo (Col) Correspondence Chicago
Times: Ed McCook, the former COVER
nor of the territory, was also generally
engaged in these ''tea parties" and tabu-
lous amounts would be won or lost at a
single sitting of poker. On one occa--
sion, Chatfee, Shatienberg, Brown and
McCook sat together for quiet game OF
draw" in one of Ed. Pierces rooms, on
Lsrrimer street. They commenced play
ing at SIS ante, and $500 and 81, 600 raises
were not uncommon. The game pro-
gressed very quietly, and with no one
very badly crippled, until midnight
when McCook went $50 bind on Chat-
fees deal, and, in a jocose tone OF voice,
he bantered Shatienberg to straddle 1t.
The latter did SO, and, in the deal, secur-
ed pair of tens, while McCook captured
three sevens. Brown and Chattee passed
out, while McCook, Of course, made his
blind good, saw Shaffen berg, and went
with him $500 better. The marshal OF
the territory was not to be snuobed IN
this manner. He thought he detected a
big game of bluff in McCook's eye, and
he not only stood the raise, but nearly
Knocked the breath out OF his antagon-
lists body when he exclaimed, IN calm,
even tone of voice, 81 see the pile. and
90 YOU $1,000 better"
There was period of dead silence.
Both men regarded each other win IN
terest, but there was not tremor, ana
