HOW ABOUT - HONOR AMONG Thieves.
The following is from the Marysville Ap-
peal of January Dist:
1t is told, and is doubtless true, that a
gambler who has been here for long time,
on Monday night played for heavy stakes,
and, making up bis mind to break the
game, played in 5000 of unindorsed bank
checks, and also played his credit to the
extent of 800, making 81 200 that he lost.
The next day he told the dealer to give
him the checks and he would go to the
bank and have them cashed, and bring
him the $1,000. The dealer trusted in the
gamblers promise. But only part of it
was fulfilled, for though the checks were
cashed the gambler put the money in his
pocket, declaring it was all he had, and
that he would not give it up. He coolly
offered the dealer his note for the amount,
but this was Indignantly refused. The
gambler left the next morning without pay
ing his debt. OF course there is no way
by which he can be punished or made to
pay. The "sports" here denounce the
action as very ungrateful and dishonest,
and say that it is especially true because
the owner of the game had often assisted
the man who played him the mean trick.
