of each month with a memorandum
book. and says to each proprietor:
"You are fined ten dollars for running
this table last month The fine is
paid, and the gambler permitted to
violate the law for another month, or
SO long as he pays the fine" The pro-
prietor is not arrested and taken into
court; there is no record made of the
fine" and there are no court proceed
ings whatever. It is a mere permit to
violate law. OF course, if the gam
bier does not pay he is arrested. and
then the matter becomes of official rec
ord. 1t is about the boldest official
recognition of crime and cond oning of
a felony known in any city. 1t is de-
fiance of lava violation of the oath
of office of the officials who sanction
it. They claim that the people" want
gambling houses, and that it helps
the town. The business men who
suffer thereby say differently. 1t is
held that a mining camp" must be
wide open," and that gambling can
not be suppressed. The saloons never
ciose-their doors being a mere mat
ter of form. The Sunday closing law
never was observed in this camp
Everyone does about as he pleases,
after the manner of the Israelites
during the period when ancient Is
rael had no king. However, there are
not as many murders here, proper
tionately, as in most other cities.
The reason perhaps, is that as every
one goes armed and is ready for any
emergency, there is not much of de-
sire among them to try conclusions.
Crimes in this camp run mainly to
robberies-both of the highwayman
and the eastern type. Scarcely a
night passes but some desperate men
enter a store, saloon, or stop a pedes-
trian with Hands up!" Sometimes
they ''hold up" a gambling table
about the only way to beat it. These
highwaymen are seldom masked. As
they do not intend to remain in camp
after their coup" they do not think
it necessary. They are seldom pur-
sued-it is very dangerous to hunt
robbers in these mountains. The
plain robberies are mainly confined
to the disreputable dance-houses and
winerooms, where visiting strangers
are drugged and robbed with a facil-
| ity unsurpassed by the eastern pick
| pocket. Sometimes the victims are
sandbagged and thrown into the
streets. In cases where complaints
are made, some of the property is re-
stored-generally about so per cent.
| The mutual friends" must have
something for their trouble, they are
not here on a pleasure excursion.
The dancehouses run all night. and
| that district is an inferno in minia-
/ ture. J. NJ. SCANLAND

A LAWYERS READY ANSWER.
In which He Reelected Credit Upon
His Client az Well an
Himself.

An eminent lawyer, one of the most en-
tnent IN the United States, was In the midst
of argument before the supreme court IN
defense. of the patent rights of his client to
a new-fangled collar button that was being
unlawfuily manufactured by the people on
the other side of the case. The distin-
guished counsel was describing the patent
referred to, and its many advantages, says
the Kansas City Journal, when Judge
Shiras interrupted him, and, in most seri-
GUS manner, observed:
Il should like to ask the learned counsel
if his client manufactures a collar button
that won't roll under the bed
Of course the court was shocked. Some
young people in the seats reserved for spec
tators Uttered, and the marshal, rapping on
his desk with his gavel, roared: Silence in
this honorable COURT" The eminent coun-
sci maintained his gravity, although his
soul must have been deeply stirred, and
had presence of mind enough to turn the in
cident to his own advantage, saying with
emphasis:
that the collar button manufactured by
my client is unique in that as well as in
other respects, but my client would not be
go selfish as to patent so important bene-
ct to mankind"
