REMARKABLE LUCK.
A Montana Gambler Wins $1,000 On a
So Bill


'The most wonderful luck / ever
saw a man have was in the Combina-
ton at Butte, Mont, about eighteen
months ago, remarked Phil Cusick
of Billings to party of gentlemen
who were discussing games Of chance
yesterday.
"An employee at the Boston and
Montana smelter came in, and, hold
ing up a 81 bill, announced that he
had a big note to meet in Jim Muir
rays bank and was going to win it
out. He said it was for 1888 8S, and
t@he was going to play the eight spot at
faro and nothing else. He seemed to
be well known and every one smiled.
He put copper on his 50 bill and
placed it on the eight spot and it lost
on the turn. He let the "a stay and
again the eight lost. He knocked the
copper off and the eight won. He
put it back and it lost.
"Mind you. this was the result OF
four successive turns in the DEAL
The player let his $32 remain on the
dead card.
Amt you afraid somebody'll
cinch that for sleeper?' inquired
the dealer, jocularly.
Not much!' was the reply, and
| amt going to touch it till you make
me draw down or | win what want.
''The dealer looked at him, thought
Of the chances OF splits, l suppose,
and quietly remarked: That goes.
"The very first turn on the next
deal the man coppered the $50
and the eight lost. He didn't take
the button off and the eight lost out.
Mister man had $712 on the card.
The dealer got up and another took
his place. The man never turned a
hair and was as cool as a cucumb her
when the cards were put in the
box everyone expected TO see HIM
knock the copper off. He didn't
touch it. The top card was a king.
The dealers fingers trembled as be
pushed it out and you may break me
if the eight OF hearts wasn't right
under it.
4" I'll go over and pay that note
now,' said the smelter man, and he
rolled up 81 ,424 in big wad.
" Pretty good winnin' on 81
stake, amt it9' he remarked as he
went out. | was told that his name
was Bob Reynolds. The Combina-
ton doesn't turn for more than the
regular limit now, no matter who
makes a bluff. - Washington Ners.

The Gold Value OF a Silver Dollar.

Some inquiries are made how to
find the gold value OF the silver dollar
when the price OF silver is given.
Multiply the market value OF silver
by 771s this gives the gold value OF
the silver dollar. The factor 77ls is
the result obtained by dividing 37l1s,
the number Of grains OF silver in a
dollar, by 1870, the number OF grains
in a troy ounce.

Night.
y few minutes before 10 o'clock last
evening these who reside in the vicinity
Of Seventh and Washington streets were
aroused by the sounds Of scuiliing. loud
talk and Il pistol shot. and soon several
persons appeared on the streets. II was
found that the contestants were X. &.
Morrison. the photographer, and Abe
w. Shrcyc. the man who drives Prof.
Bach 3 delivery wagon.
The difficulty between tnc men is Of
long standing. and Is the outcome of
attention of Shreyc to his Morris0n's
wife. SOME months since the parties
had an alteration. and there has since
been very bad feeling between them.
The particulars Of last nights fracas
are very hard TO obtain. but the facts
appear to be that Shreve was walking
along Seventh street. going north. and
was attacked by Morrison. who struck
Shrevc on the head with some blunt in.

severe cut. The men Their clinched and
a hard fight followed. during which

ing that it was a very severe one. though
not dangerous.
Shreye then swore out a complaint Of
assault and battery against Morrison,
and Chief Jackson arrested him.. He
was at once arraigned before Justice
Glib. and gave 500 bonds for his APP
pearance this morning at 10 o'clock.
When Morrison was released fromcus-

the cut on his head repaired.
When the charge against Morrison
was called in court this morning Shreve
refused TO prosecute the matter. and
asked for the withdrawal of the com

that Nh. Straw's arm was broken above
