Owing to its being the most ccnven-
lent for the mines Of rhe surrounding
country and Austin, Battle Noun
tain soon became an important freight
depot and grew rapidly. And with its
early growth came q few citizens of
questionable characters. Among shis
class were four or five three card
monte sharps, who made it their busi-
ness to. inveIgle the gullible. These
fellows, on the arrival of the Central
Pa i6c trains, would simulate mex
perienced persons. fools and drunkards
aud throw their money around, taking
particular pains to keep a sack well
filed with silver in view. Their pals
or cappers would always oe near to
pick up the mpney thus thrown away
aud to eDtice the unwsry to engage
the fcigncd drunkard into game oi
the latteI's own choosing. which ter
minated always in the sharper's favor
and af.er which most iugubrious
scene frequently followed, The VIC
tins, believing the sharper drunk and
not suspecting hrs real character,
jumped AZ his tricks tn obtain dis
reputably the trickster's money, but i,
would not be many minutes before a
realization Of their ioss would dawn
upon them; then there void be com
motion, weeping and wailing such as
is heard only this aide of shoel.
