THE DEAL IS OFF
No More Gambling Goes in
Butte.
FOR A FEW DAYS AT .LEAST
Gambling House %PrOprietOrs Instruct
ed Not to Turn the Cards
For Money.
FOR A FEW DAYS AT

There is some new deal on in city ad-
circles, and for some UNI
known reasons orders were promulgated
Saturday hat after that day no more
gambling would be allowed in Butte.
For the past year the rattle or chlps ana
the swish of cards could be distinctly
heard behind the closed doors Of a dozen
different gambling houses by any person
who was curious to learn if gambling
was yet being conducted in Butte-pro-
vided he was not recognized as a spotter.
Faro and poker games have been run
ming without interruption for over a
year, and nickel-in- the-slot machines,
of the s%ure-thing variety, were in many
of the saloons of the city. These nickel
in the-slot machines were not of the
kind where the owner of a few nickels
innocently ~endeavored to win cigars or
drinks, but instead, We're supposed to pay
cash. Some times they paid, but more
generally they did not. Now the order is
also given ont that these machines, like
faro and poker, must also go.
Just what mas induced this recent
spasm of morality on the part of the city
officials cannot be learned. The gam

of revenue to the city, but it has been
darkly limited that they were a source Of
revenue to some of the officials. In fact,
the owner Of the sure-thing nickel-ln-the-
slot machines claimed to have been held
up for $40 a month for operating each
machine, but it possible that the heads
of the police department were not aware
of that fact.
However,, the order has gone forth that
gambling must cease-for a few days at
least. Some Of the gamblers who were
conducting small games contend that the
order was issued for the purpose Of
freezing out the smaller fish" as one
man put it. Another man said that the
object of suppressing gambling just now
was to give the gamblers a chance to go
to Helena, where the biggest game of the
season is in progress in the legislative
halls.
There are others, however, who believe
that the present administration is taking
time by the forelock, in view of the fact
that a city election will be held in April
and it is quite possible that the people
will be asked for an Endorsement Of the
present democratic administration on the
score of it's high morality.

stating that a majority of the
STOCKHOLDERS has requested them to act
as a protective committee, in order that
the stockholders may be represented in

with respect to their property may be
made known whenever required. Just
what the purpose of the movement is
does not seem clear at this time. 1t is

ton with the rumored copper consolida-
ton deal.

dress is as follows:

erous injunctions in force against the

tention or another to trespass upon the

rectly and summarily represented in

sarily much loss of time in securing the
aid of the stockholders in repelling at

cordlngly requested the undersigned to
act as a stockholders protective commit
tee, to the end that the stock may be at
all times available for your protection.
