CURIOUS GAMBLING SCENE.
Stacks OF Silver Glanced Away at an
Indian Tournament in Nevada.
Winnemucca Silver State.

Winnemucca Silver State.
The FLUTES are having a grand
gambling tournament here. In the
day time they meet ON the sunny side
Of one Of their wiok.ups, from which
they extend wings by tying blankets
on poles, to break the wind. The
gamblers who engage in the tourna-
ment place two poles on the ground
about ten feet apart and parallel with
each other, and seat themselves ON the
ground, crosa.legged, outside the poles.
There are generally six or eight bucks
on each side, and the stakes, which
range from 90 to $50 In silver, are
stacked on the open ground between
the parallel poles. Each side 10 furn.

and four long ones. Two strings of
small shells tied In the form Of rings

~monotonous chant, accompanied by
striking the poles with the long sticks
and the swaying OF their body to and

and noise made by the sticks, Is com.
menoed by the side who Won the
shells, and the two bucks who have
possession of the shells move their
hands and arms and change the
shells from ono hand to the other,
and finally conceal both hands under
their blankets and cease moving
them. This seems to be the signal for
one Of the bucks on the other
side to guess which hand the
shells are concealed In. II he guesses
right the shells are thrown to his side
and two OF the short sticks. Then

until the shells are won back by the
