A Little Indiscreet

A Deadwood correspondent says: An
occurrence is now the talk Of the town,
and has given rise to a controversy and
chickering's that many days will not heal.
The editor of a Deadwood daily took q
brief vacation-for the benefit OF bus
health, 1 presume-supp'v'ng the va
cancy with q sub recently rom the east,
who, although q good jon ma 81, scarce
~ understood the customs Of the III
try II the prophecies Of the Office, as
evidenced by the appearance in the very
first issue Of the paper under the tenn
porary regime OF a strong article against
gamblers and gambling-one Of the not
least important industries" Of the city.
It was neither q vindictive nor personal
article, nor n OF particular local apph-
cation ; but it was sufficient to raise the
ire of the sporting fraternity or at
least of a certain few, who prompt
~ declared an intention Of b~oycothng
the Office and Of never forgiving the par
ties responsible for the distasteful pub
LEGATION. On the following day . COL
umn communication appeared in q rival
sheet, over the signatures Of prominent
gamblers, matchmaking the paper and
proprietors that had given odense, and
attempting to justify their business"
by comparing its character now with
what it was in early days, when "the
camp was infested with sharpers, and
where all games were crooked; !" and de-
claring that card playing was no worse
than church-fair lotteries and kindred
enterprises. This short-sighted illusion
aroused the ll-will Of numerous old-time
sporting men, still residents Of the city,
and the clergy. The former are more
indignant than the class first offended.
In fact, there is q breach in the ranks
that will not speedily close, and rich de-
velopments are expected. A number Of
communications from the clergy have
appeared, with more to follow. In short,
there is var all along the line, and all
growing out of a little indiscretion upon
the part Of a generous brother of the
quill, who had kindly volunteered his
services for the occasion.
