SAN Francisco, CAL, Dec. 20-The R1dnl-
liner devotes page to-day to the business
done by poolrooms in this city and Oak
land In the spring of 1891 prohibitive legis-
lstion led to the closing of poolrooms in
San Francisco, when they removed to Oak
land, where, on September so last. they were
also closed by the authorities and bookmak-
ers are now preparing to establish them
selves at Stockton, Cal When they discon-
tinued operations at Oakland they made a
pile of theirSbooks and private accounts, to
which they set fire.
Some of the books were saved, however,
and the daily blotters are in possession of
the Examiner, from whicn that paper esti-
mates thar tor % months from June, 1889, to
March 9, 1891, inclusive. Kingsley & Co alone
cleared up IN San Francisco $4,000 on CON-
bination bets only, their records for that
period showing a clear list OF winnings of
from s.. 900 TO So 900 per month. On going to
Oakland a consolidation OF all the bookmak-
ers into two firms took place, and the EIdnl-
iner fl:ures that for these two firms the
minimum profit during the l6 months they
continued business in tnat city aggregated
$y6, 600. The total expenses were $780, 0O0 so
that the poolrooms drained ae least Sac, 900

1t was q sunshiny December after
noon; the air was as clear as bell, the
clouds that obscurcd the eastern sky at
dawn had long since drifted out OF sight,
and III all its broad eXpanse the pale
blue vault of the heavens wore not so
much as feather of vapor. Who that
rode in the laughing, chatting, jaunty
column that sparkling day could realize
the change a few hours might effect on
the silent, brcezeless solitudes around
them? At noon the sun was so warm
that many trooper had stripped off
his heavy overcoat and turned up the
flaps Of the rough fur cap. Except in
deep ravines hardly any snow was to
be seen. The dull gray surface of the
rolling prairie, wave after wave, lay
baskiDg, and tho lcafless branches of the
cottOnwoods overhanging the frozen
pools were glistening, sparkling in the
lifegiving rays. The advance guard,
after breaking the ice and treating their
horses to mouthful of water at the
stream, had moved ON at brisk trot, and
now the stalwart riders were spreading
ont in extended order as they breasted
the slope. Out to the west, full five hum
bred yards, the wary fankcrs could be
seen, some crossing the stream farther
down the valley, while other comrades
appeared over the barren ridge behind,

No, Major Kenyon couldn't, and was

And now December was come, and
the air was crisp and keen in the valley
of the Pawncc, the sunshine radiant and
sparkling; but far to the north the win
try winds were bowling about the himsy
cantonment and whirling the snow
through every Granny and crack, and
the long nights on outpost and picket
were bitter cold. But through it all
the various battalions of horse were sent
scouting in turn around the reservations
and more aud more the young warriors
dribblcd away from the agencies and
were next heard of welcomed with ac-
CARNATIONS by the savage hosts in the
Businesses of the Bad Lands, and every
hour increased the prospect of sharp

prophecy that everything would soon he
