Murray Sun: In Boise the saloon
men and gamblers are contes,ing
the law. In the smaller commun-
tiles card playing in saloons will
cease to very great extent, and
nickel-in-the slot machines will be
renewed. But there will be lots of
gambling all the same in the silent
back rooms, not only in the cities,
but in the villages. Conscientious I
Justices and Constables in the {
smaller places will have to stay in
he woods or resign, as they cannot
,e present at any card playing with
nut laying themselves liable to pun 1
sment, and the Sheriff will not I
make any special effort under the
lew fee bill to hunt up card-players.
The effect of the Law will be closely
watched.
