LOADING DICE.
An Industry That Once Flourished In Per-
lection In o Tennessee Town.


A reporter noticed in shop window
Fair of dice. They were innocent looking
little white bones, and he had quito forgot
ten them when the proprietor remarked,
"Them's Loaded
WHATS loaded?''
why, the dice"
"Oh," the reporter calculated. Tho pro-
priotor picked up the dice, and throwing
them on tho counter said, Come seven, :"
and sure enough seven came. Some ono
else pitched them, and five turned up but
before no could mnko another five to gain
his point that fatal seven showed it's face
again, and SO it went tho five and tho two
making the seven thrco out of five shots.
"There are only two men in tho city
who can or will load dice" the proprietor
explained.
Before Jones turned loose on tho gam
blers one could get So and So for loading a
pair of dice, and If the job was difficult you
could get even more than that, but now
So is very good price, and there is less to
do than there once was ut any price,
These were loaded for n regular gam
bling house, and n crack shot will never
recognize the iron. To do the job right re-
quires good deal Of skill and pains. You
bore the eye and pour in your mercury or
beat in your lead. II you use mercury, ii
anust be in the form Of quicksilver. aier-
uury is probably the best, though tiny
lead shot will answer tho glpose of tho
: drItnnyaice. You thon take n bit of ivory,
and fitting tr iii tho plug countcrsinll tho
eye. If the loader understands his bust
ness, there is no professional who can do
tect the fraud, Not to mako tho weight
suspicious you can bore and leave hollow
that side of the die for which it is loaded
Sometimes there is big money in the
business. About n year ago, when dioo
wero the rage with gentlemen of the green
cloth, party of local gamblers sent all tho
way to Colorado for an expert to come and
do their little trick. He came, and In ono
night he and his crowd did one gamo for
$4,000. The next day ho returned to tho
Black Hills. That man was once noted
gambler in this city. 1t was about this
time that Chief Adkins, after having
made raid on some notorious dive, placed
{ on exhibition pair of loaded dice cut in
halves.
"Speaking of tho price of dice, SIS or Sc
is letting them off light. In some cities
whore the dice are loaded in professional
way, not to order, but for regular sale,
dice that without tho lead are worth about
z so cents with lead will cost you S18 But,
after ALL that isn't much, for tho man
twho handles them right is soon Hn -

a few games of pool and returned 10

Union Pacific train for Denver.
While COrbett was in the Midland
restaurant John L. Sullivan was eat

In speaking about his defeat by Cor

THE CITY WANTS WATER
For Fire Protection, Whether
Pure or Impure.
The Council WrestIed With the
Question Last Night.
An Extension of the Mains and q
Higher Pressure is Demanded in
the Outlying Districts.

The council meeting was called last
night for the purpose of having the wa
ter works case simplihed in accordance
with the request of Councilmen War
ner and Nettels.
1T is very difficult" said Councilman
Nettels, ito prove the impurity of the
water. The company could get 1000 men
to swear that their families had never
been made sick by the use of the water
The city might get chemists to make
analyses showing the water impure and
the company would prObabaly be able
to get chemists to prove that it is
wholesome, and the question would be a
very difficult one
Besides this the ordinance says that
the water must be taken from the kan
sas river, and since the company COM
plies with that provision, it is doubtful
if we have the right to complain, be-
cause the water is not wholesome"
Councilman Warner said.
What the people in my part of town
are most interested in, is the extension
of the mains, and I believe that is the
important part of the case, because we
want that done before our terms ex-
pire."
A resolution was adopted instructing
tho attorneys to make tn issues in The
case, the extension Of the mains and in
sufficient fire pT assure in the hope that
the case can be disposed Of as soon as
