nished to the old folks during the 10
Years that Veasey lived in Butte Dur
ing that time the Drinkwines were on
their ranch al Plains and the articles

card sharps who. about year ago. re-

against the same game and the same
players With the same result eXcept
that this time the boys with the cards
were shrewder and got their money
Last year they got mixed up in a divis-
ion of spoils and the victim had time
10 recover some Of his money This
morning. however. they kept him in
the game from , o'clock till after the
banks opened. Then they cashed the
checks that he had given them and
when they had the dough the game
broke UP. And now they are looking
for somebody else.

direction from which the shots seemed
to come. In going up Park avenue they
met William Dudley coming east. Dudley
held up the skirt of his coat and said
he had been shot at.
Officers O. Brien and ingalls, Were stand
ing at the corner of Third street and
Commercial avenue when the first shot
was fired. They ran west and cut across
the vacant lot in the rear of the Shoe
maker. On their way they heard the two
other shots. ingalls,, who is quite a sprin-
ter, reached Hickory street first. He met
Dudley. who was standing about midway
between Park avenue and Third street.
He asked Dudley where the shots had
come from. Dudley said. The went up the
alley" indicating the alley between Park
avenue and Third street. ingalls, says that
the time that elapsed between the firing
Of the first shot and the time he reached
the alley could not have been more than
10 seconds but no one was in sight, either
in the alley or elsewhere, who appeared to
have fired the first shot
Dudley told the officers that as he was
on his way home a man had sprung up
from the corner of Park avenue and Hick-
DRY and had ordered him to brow up his
hands. The man, said Dudley had fired
a shot. which had passed through the
skirt of his coat. He had a gun and had
fired two shots at the alleged footpad.
A crowd of about 200 people was at
tracted by the shots and a great deal
of excitement was created. The circum-
stances surrounding the shooting are of
such a nature that it is hard to deter
mine just exactly what did transpire.
