HOW INDIANS GAMBLE
Their Squaws Chant lamentations
Bones and Beans Are Factors.

The social event of the season for
the Puyallup, the Nisqually and few
White River Indians has just passed.
1t was the annual gambling and horse
racing Of the tribes, which took place
en- the Nisqually reservation. The fe5-
tivities began Saturday and lasted till
Monday morning, when they ceased,
and a procession of the most tired In
dams that the people along the route
have seen In many day started back
to the Puyallup reservation. They
bore no laurels, 1t is true, but then
they had their ponies and blankets,
which at one time during the gambling
they came disastrously near losing.
The sport took place at a gambling
house kept by Jim" Dimrood, a Mis-
qually Indian, and located in clear
ing five acres in extent on the right
bank of the Nisqually river, four miles
above Maxfield station, where The
Northern Pacific crosses the river The
game played by the Indians is called
"slahael," and was actively participated
III w ulg alidp5s hNS W tlltS
River Indians and thirty Inequalities,
the White River Indians playing with
the Puyallups. The stakes put UP by
each side were seventeen ponies, one
COW and ten pigs.
1t was in this gambling-house last
Saturday afternoon that "Jack" Skam
enke, the leader OF the Nisqually
gamblers, stood up and began singing
the low dirgelike song which forms
part of the ceremony, and then handed
the bones TO one Of his men. The In
dian took the bores, fumbled ana
changed them, anG then. holding a
bone tightly concealed in either hand,
began swinging them for wary Pa3-
allup to guess which hand contained
the white one The gambling was in
full progress. The scene was a strange
one, well worthy the brush of Freder-
lex Remington or any who indulge in
a liking for the wild and fantastic.
The bright wood fires We're burning in
either end Of the room. Ten feet from
the walls two rows Of Indian men were
kneeling down, facing each other, leay-
ing space of ten feet between them.
