A MOTHER'S SIN.
She and Her Boy Paramour Shadowed
by Her Son,
The Cause of One Mans Death, and
Likely to Have Another Yet
to Answer For.

81 saw one man killed in quarrel over
that woman, and that is enough?"
The speaker was an elderly person,
and he was addressing himself to a
youth apparently yet in his teens as a
RECORD UNION reporter happened within
earshot of them on street couple of
nights since.
The young man was swearing ven
geance against another-also a mere lad
who had just passed in company with a
well-dressed woman.
Let them turn into a lodging-house -
he Missed between his teeth, 'and Pll
show him how to get his heart cut out !"
These and other threats he did not,
apparently, try to prevent being heard,
as he moved along in a crouching way in
the shadows of the building. keeping his
eyes on the vanishing forms of the man
and woman whose presence had aroused
his wrath
The reporter instinctively listened for
what he might hear. Presently the elder
OF the men, who seemed to be well ac-
quaInted with the other, remarked:
tell you it will never do for another
man to lose his life on account of that
woman, even if she is your motheru
tor some time the speaker pleaded
with the youth to abandon his apparent
desire to slay the man in company with
his mother tfor such the woman was). and
after while the son promised to take
his advice, and moved off in another di-
rection.
What desperate deed the youth might
have committed had not the elderly gem
tleman happened to meet him at that
time can only be imagined, but he seemed
to be desperately in earnest The re-
porter learned from the elderly gentle
man that the parties are but slightly
known in this city, and he declined to
give their names or to tell where they re-
sided. He said he had known them for
years, but his meeting with them here
was something of a surprise.
The woman, he said, is old enough to
be the mother of the lad with whom she
was in company. The son evidently
meant business, and if his mothers para
mOur had been killed it would make the
second human life for which she would
have to answer, besides subiecting her
own son to trial for murder, as she had
once subjected her husband. The latter
had done years ago that which the son
was now threatening to do-he had killed
q man for invading the sanctity of his
home

BANKING, OR CHANCE?
Denver Sports Attempt to Establish
Gaming Resort,
Officers Declare They Were Running
Chuck-a-Luck Under WheeI-of-
Fortune Protection.

The buzz of the wheel at 327 K street,
next door to the Postofice, was not heard
last night by the people who passed the
place, and the voices of the Denver sports,
inviting the public to come up and try
their luck on the red or black, were
silent
Constable Brissel, Deputy Alter and
Deputy Sheriff Kripp are responsible for
this interruption. On the preceding
night they swooped down upon the pro-
prietors Of the game and gathered them
in, together with their layout. The par
ties arrested gave their names as E. D.
Simmons, Albert Brown and John Oran.
They are said to be strangers here and
lately from some camp in Denver
They claimed to have been operating a
'wheel-of-fortune." which is not in
cluded in the games Of chance prohibited
by our State anti-gaming law: but the
officers who made the arrests declare that
it was nothing but regular ''chuck-a-
luck" device for swindling all that played
at it. The only difference says ConSta-
BILE Brissel, is that a wheel is used instead
of the usual dice.
The officer claims that it is only a
scheme to operate prohibited game un-
der cover of the legalized wheel. The
game is played with ''chips," which the
players buy from the dealers and then
'blOw them in" against the game
As a means of keeping up interest in
the game, and to encourage those whose
luck" had not been good, the dealers
gave out cards or tickets twice each even
ing which entitled the holders thereof to
draw down whatever they might win by
a turn of the wheel. This they called the
premium roll" and it took place at s
and $3.50 o'clock each evening.
The dealers We're taken before the Police
Court yesterday morning for trial They
were accompanied by their counsel. w. A.
Anderson, and were ready for trial, but
the case went over until next Monday.
The arrests were freely commented on
yesterday. ana some say they were made
at the instance of tho faro-game proprie-
tors, or their agents, who are very jealous
of any intrusions upon the monopoly
which they are said to enjoy.
When the case of the Denver men
comes to trial the prosecution will, of
course, endeavor to prove that the game
is not Of the wheel-Of-fortune kind, bat a
regular banking game run upon percent
age principles. 1t will require some ex-
pert evidence to prove this, and the testi-
mony is likely to prove quite interesting.
