GAMBIING.-Sin the new law prohibit
ing gambling was passed the Palouse Ga.
reae has remarked upon it in a way that fits
this town, about as follows:
Gamble not at all lest the iron hand of
the law be stretched forth and take thee
in. Bet not thy money on the "bob,tal
boss, for even if he be the winner and
throws gravel two lengths ahead at the out
come, thy gains will be considered i'll gotten,
and if thou pocketest them thou mayest be
called upon to sit on the criminal bench with
manacles upon your wrists. Sit not around
a pine table and wager that the full hand
which thou holdest will beat four kings and
an ace which thy neghbor hath stolen from
the bottom of the pack, for if thou doest this
unwise thing thy hard-oarned money will
pass from the in twnklng of an eye and
thou wilt be charged with having lctied the
law, with criminal intent, which our legs.
lators have given unto thee. Risk not thy
money at games of chance in the day time,
for the eyes OF Territorial officials are upon
thee and hazard it not during the darkness
of the night for the officers of the law are
liable TO break III upon thy privacy and
pounce upon thee, and drag thee within the
august presence OF stern Judge, who will
impose pains and penalties upon thee OF
nature that will make thee regret that thou
hadst ever been born. Harken, therefore,
unto the law, and heed well the words which
are herein spoken unto thee"
