Blankets of Gorgeous Hues.

Blankets, long and wide. and colored
with the native dyes of the desert
alone, hung in gorgeous tapestry work
from the bare posts OF the ramada,
drapinS the outer wall of woven rushes
from those inside. The bare dirt floor
was covered with blankets and on
every one some game of chance was
going on.
While the money lasted the fever. of
the gambling games entered into the
blood of the natives The opening
night saw A poker same started which
lasted all that night and well on into
the next day. Four winners divided the
pot which amounted to $1,000 Chusa,

the Indians. also drew many dollars
from the pockets of the luckIess ones.
Dice games, chuck -a-luck ca typical

games which the whites do not we'll
understand kept busy those who were
not playing poker.

were the temporary homes of the
revelers, mere cubical frameworks of

These. too, were hung with blankets,
dozens and dozens of them. worth thou
sands and thousands of dollars. Many
of the luckless ones at the gaming
tables stripped their homes of every
thing valuable, and many Saboba
walked out from the ramada with his
family while some Cahuila or Yuma
led away his horses.
Possibly there has never been such a
display of Indian wealth. either in
horses or in blankets. in the Southwest,
at least not since the days of the
padres and their dusky wards. From
