Complaint Of Business Man
Closed Blackjack Gam
bling Yesterday.
MAN WHO DIDN'T PAY BILLS
GAMBLED AND LOST.
Said the Present Order Of Things
Will Not Last, but Opinions
Differ.

1
The fact that a man who owed
a Blackjack merchant bill
gam bled his wages and lost them
at gambling house in that city
and then made the assertion that
he had been feeeed was re-
sponsible for the closing of the
gaming houses at Blackjack
yesterday, according to the best
information available this morn
ing.
Itappears that the complaint
against the games was made by a
merchant to whom the man
owed a bill which he had prom
ised to pay. He lost all his
money at the place character
lied as a abig mitt" joint, and.
the merchant in a fit of anger
com planned.
Besides this fact there is dis.
sension among the ranks of the
gaming fraternity locally. One
place IN the city has repeatedly
been accused of being s,sure
thing" joint. Fleecers in all
lines thrived at it to the detri-
ment of the other places.
Just how long the reform will
last is now a question. Those re-
sponsible for the closing move
ment say that it is permanent
but there are those who wink the
other eye, and none of the gam
ing fraternity are preparing to
leave the village.

Poultry Show Statement Corrected.

There was statement in the Daily
Eagle January 9, which was very much
misleading and absolutely without foun-
dation and untrue. 1t was as follows:
l had paid Mrs. d. 4. Stoner 5000 for
a pen OF Barred Rock chickens that
took second prize at the Wichita Poultry
show. This much is true; but that I
offered another exhibitor $4,000 for a
pen OF his that took first prize, and he
refused it is untrue and unjust to Mrs.
Stoner. as we'll as myself In the first
place the cock l bought took first prize
and the hens only lacked one point OF
taking first prize: they were cut seven
points in weight owing TO the fact that
they had recently been shipped from
Indiana here. and then removed again.
Had they been in as good flesh as COM
petitors. they would have opt-scored any
thing in the ring FIVE or six points.
Another party offered me his pen at
$4,000 and l would not consider it, The
reason l bought the pen ! did was be-
cause l considered it best. although
others had good ones. L did not offer
any one dollar for any chickens in
the show because l got what l wanted.
1 can prove these statements by disin-
terested parties.
