circus happened. Powell had dealt the
cards. i was standing behind him looking
on. 1T was jack pot and the second man

thought he had made mistake in his
hand and was simply making the best of

cards except Dave Hollingsworth and he
took two. Powell, of course, took three,
ana you can shoot me for an Eskimo if he
aldnt get three more kings. Everybody
seemed TO nook, for there was some of
th@ nVe1est betting around that table that I
ever saw. The pace got too swift for them
however and all dropped out except Powell
and Hollfngsworth.
Dave was from somewhere up IN the
Butte district-a quiet inoffensive sort of a
fellow, but good grit and the best shot you
ever saw with a revolver
Those two kept hammering away Mt
each other, and everybody was watching
them without saying word. You could see

KIND of pitying Hollingsworth for from
past events they were confident Powell
would gobble the dough. 1 never thought
anything else, for I'd caught a flash of the
four kings early in the engagement
Finally, Powell showed up a stack of
chips that Just about covered everything
Dave had in front of him. I guess there
must have been $500 or $500 in the pile
Dave looked straight at Powell for some
minutes, kind of trying to figure him out
l thought he was going to weaken and
could see Powell raking in the pot
FINALLY, Dave drew a long breath, and,
standing up, said: I'm agoin' to call that
POWELL, but jest wait mint er two so as
L Kin satisfy myself ain't nervous
TN wait on you,' says Powell
Dave picked up the five of spades that
happened to be laying face up on the table,
stepped over to the wall, about twelve feet
away, and pinned the card up about on a
level with his shoulder. Then he walked
back to the table. drew a six-shooter, ard
before anybody realized what was going on
he hred five shots at the card. clipping out
one of the spots with each shot clean and
pretty as though you'd done 1t with a knife.
He laid the gun down on the table with Just
the one load left in it, and said
1 guess ] amt very nervous I've got
four queens
Powell looked at him for a second and
then, without giving himself away bit he
said, That's good and he showed his four
kings into the deck

RESIGNED HIS PlSTORATE.

LACK OF HARMONY CAUSES REV.
WILLIAM WHALING TO TAKE
THIS ACTION.
Rev. WiI[Eam A. Waiting, pastor OF
Delaware Avenue Baptist Church, has
decided to resign his charge. The resig-
nation Will be formally rendered to-
morrow. Fer twenty years there has
been contention among the different
organizations of the church, and TWO
years ago Mr.. Waiting told the congre-
CATION unless this trouble ceased and
there was more harmony he would
resign. He was prevailed upon by the
official board to continue as the pas
tor, and up to a few monthh ago
everything went along smoothly, when
trouble broke cut again.
Mr. Walking did everything in his
power to bring about harmony, but il
was useless. so on Sunday he an
nounced to the congregation that he
would present his resignation on We'd
nesday.
There seems to be NO objection Il

quests to continue as pastor, and he
Says everyone has been as kind as

several factions in the church. HIS
