The 10 cent faro game OF the White Ele-
phsnt Was robbed this morning of $3.50 in
the following ingenious manner: The
money to pay the losing Of the game, pro-
fessionally described as the roll" was
placed as usual III the righ. hand drawer Of
the table between the dealer and assis.
tsnt. This drawer extends almost the en-
| tire width of the table, and Is so long that
old faro players sometimes have corns on
their knees from coming constantly
in contact with these drawers.
This was opened from un-
derneath the table and the roll was ao-
strac.ed by mcans of a nin fastened on the
end of stick cut to the proper length: It
is supposed that the house was entered on
yesterday or latt night and the back OF the
| drawer, that Is the end next the players,
was removed and the rest OF the work was
comparatively easy. As police reporters
say, there Is no clue to the thief.
