Poker Games.

"Old Bob" one of the best known bar
bers in the city, was telling story about
big hands in a poker game while he was
shaving a customer last night and when
he had finished his story, the customer
told one that was bigger. Either of them
would take a prize. "Old Bobs" story
was as follows:
1.-The other night 1 was in a game and
got up to get a match and happened to
look over another nigger's shoulder, and
he had four aces Of spades in his hand
and he stood pat, won the pot and walked
off with the money. There had been
four decks of the same kind of cards
used. and the niger had ain ace from
each deck"
That about finished Bob, and then the
customer started with his story;
IT was sitting in little IS limit game
with five other fellows one night, and |
was third from the dealer. 1t was Jack
pots. and the man under the gun opened
the pot with a small full house. The next
man raised it with a larger full, and |
trailed in with royal flush. The next
man behind me had four card flush and
raised on that. The fifth man did the
same thing on a similar hand, and the
dealer came in with straight.
before the draw four men raised every
time it came to them. myself and an
other trailing. l had the best hand and
knew 1t. In the draw, four stood pat,
and two drew one card each filling their
flush. One had diamond flush from to
the ace, just missing straight flush,
and the other a club flush. The man that
opened bet the limit, the next raised him,
l trailed and the men with flushes each
raised. The dealer dropped out with his
straight. Well, it kept up at that rate
for several minutes. and finally the man
with the small clubhouse called. and
dropped out.
eve three men with fushes kept talk
ing. and each one swore he had a flush.
Finally we bet so much that we laid down
one card face up every time the bet
came around to us. All three of us
showed an ace. king, queen and jack of
the same color, and finally the other two
fellows showed spot each. / kept
my 10 spot covered, and the man with
the big full offered to bet SIS and then
quit | called him and 1t was the cheap
est looking crowd l ever saw
There was some whistlng, few grunts
and three or four men cleared their
throats when the speaker had ended.

REV. LEMEN DIED POO 4.
Council Bluffs Humanitarian Gave His

Council Bluffs Humanitarian Gave His
All to Charity.
Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Nov. s. - Only $lbO
OF worldly wealth in his own name
was left by Rev. ]. G. Lemen at his
death. AS head of the Christian Home
he handled thousands Of dollars every
year and managed property that was
worth fortune, yet his personal be-
lodgings all told aggregated no more
than that insignificant sum. The con-
dttion of his estate shows that he not
only gave his life to the charitable
work in which he was engaged. but al
so appropriated his goods to the same
purpose.
A petition filed yesterday for the APP
pointment of III. r. Lemen, son OF the
late founder Of the Christian Home, as
administrators of his estate disclosed
the fact that the property holdings OF
the deceased in his own name includ-
ed nothing more than some household
goods and personal effects, such as
watch and clothing. The court, fol-
lowing its usual custom, made the APP
pointment and flxed the administra-
tors bond at $500, or twice the esti-
mated value Of the estate.
The real object OF the administration
is to provide an official sigma ture for
the Endorsement Of drafts, checks, and
other remittances that are coming in
to the Christian home. These are
variously made out to the. Christian
home, the Council Bluffs orphanage,
manager and ]. G.. Lemen. None Of
fba bo pls rnr honor anv such panerS
unless they are Endorsed by some per-
son duly authorized to do so.
Under his credentials as administra-
tor, H. r. Lemen will be empowered
to receive checks and drafts sent to
the home and convert them into the
fund used for the support Of that In
stdtution. The trustees Of the home,
It is expected, will select Mr.. Lenen
to continue its management along the
same lire as that pursued by his fMh-

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls. Nov. 1.-THE Hardin
county district court adjourned over

day, when case from this city will
come up that has attracted much at
tention and involves the legality of an
alley in the business part of the city.
Some weeks ago S. B. Stonerook, pub
Usher of the Sentinel, purchased Of the
Wisner estate at Eldora, business lot
in this city. the dimensions being 22x
1872 feet. After deciding on plans for
a building, the depth of the lot, and
putting in portion Of the foundation,
action was commenced by property
owners in the balance Of the block, to
enforce an alley in the rear of the
Stonerook lot. His deed called for full
depth Of the lot, and the abstract men,
toned no reservation for an alley, SO
the owner proceeded with his improve
ments.
1t is true that private alley about
half way across the lot has been in
use for many years. but 1t has been
ma 'ntained by private parties and did
not run across the lot. Neither has
eny alley ever been accepted by the
city. The legality Of the alley will be
determined by the court.
