CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-lhe fiat against
gamblers and gambling went forth
from official quarters last night. and
open gambling in Chicago has ceased
for the present at least. The gamblers
Gabriel blew his trumpet at midnight,
and as he did so a scene of pandemo-
mum reigned in every "tiger's den."
The announcement was agony to those
who had been "blowing in'' their chips
in blissful ignorance all evening. No
one dreamed of it; no one suspected
anything of the kind except the keep
ers. The faro dealers and ''look-outs."
the roulette croupiers, the ''pluggers,"
"bouncers," ''steerers." door tenders,
porters and hazard dealers were all
taken with surprise. The order came
suddenly and without warning, and
many were left white-lipped with brows
perspiring and mere halt-dozen chips
in their clammy fingers. There was
nothing to do but leash inn and go.
The closing up was decided upon at q
conference last evening between Mayor
Cregier and the heads of the police de-
partment. The city council passed a
resolution week ago urging the sup
preston of gambling in Chicago.

cause these men risk their lives to save

risk your own life by not using it if
you need it. 1t gives new life, vig0r

A Eeud in Western coIorado.

News has reached Glenwood Springs
of battle between two parties of men
near the head Of Muddy creek, near the
corners Of Pitlin, Gunuison and Garfield
Counties. In that wild and almost unin-
habited region is situated the ranch Of
Thomas Welch and his son. The land lies
in the form of a park and is sown to grass
WEIGH claims about 500 acres, but neigh
Dor named Alex Labelle has for some time
disputed Welch's title to part OF the
land
Last fall Labelle, who is E'rench-Cana-
dian, erected u cabin on the land, and this
season began cultivating part of it. This
began the trouble which led TO the awful
sequel of yesterday.
Tuesday afternoon Labelle and his hired
men, consisting OF H d. Jones, who
brought the information TO town, Charles
Major, f. Harvest, Charles Perham and
Pete Small entered the park for the pur-
pose of cutting the grass on the land
claimed by Labelle. All were armed, as
trouble had been anticipated for some
lime with the WeIeh party. Immediately
upon entering the park they were fired
upon by WEIGH, his son and three others.
I Jones claims an ambuscade was set by
WEIGH and his men, aud that they opened
fire without warning and were concealed
behind boulders and trees. The firing was
promptly returned, notwithstanding the
disadvantages labored under by Labelle's
party. and terrible duel ensued, some
three hundred shots being exchanged.
When the firing ceased and the combat
ants withdrew, Alex Labelle and Thomas
WEIGH, the son OF the owner OF the ranch,
were found dead.
Charles Perham was shot through the
right lung and left thigh, and sustained
flesh wound in the back. He will undoubt-
eddy die. Pete Small received a serious
wound through the shoulder and was also
shot in the arm.
Welch has the reputation Of being very
dangerous individual, having planted
it is said, two or three men in his time.
His sou. though only about 10 years Of age,
it is said, was a .'chip o. the old block and
and was extremely handy with his gun.
Those who know Welch best think he will
make o determined resistance against
arrest
