Lively Game Of Poker.

There We're many lively games Of
poker played in San Francisco in the

been told of the nerve and GOODNESS of
the players who participated therein.
The following story of one of those
games was printed in San Francisco
paper some years ago:
The Palace hotel in the early days of
its existence was the arena of some big
poker games. Senator Sharon was an
enthusiastic lover of the game, and
when it happened that Senators Stew

Dick MeSick occurred" in the hotel at
the same time there was sure to be hot
work. 1t happened upon one of these
occasions that a certain Mr. Hall from
Boston was at the hotel.

gentleman and completely won Sena-
tor Sharon's heart because of his love
for Byron and his excellent memory.

GIRLS QUICK WIT
WINS OVER FATHER

The steady wit of Mary Copeland,
aged IA years, prevented kidnaping
here Saturday night. The girl has been
living at Rifle for some time with her
mother, who for several years has been
separated from the husband and father,
John Copeland.
Copeland had been living in Oklaho-
ma and not until recently did he know
where his wife and children were re
siding. He came to Rifle for the pur-
pose of effecting reconciliation but
failing in this pretended to be looking
for location near Rifle.
Saturday afternoon he persuaded his
daughter to accompany him on trip
to the country for the avowed purpose
of looking at farm. After starting
on the drive he proposed that they
might return to Rifle on the
train. Reaching Silt he sug-
they boarded. Reaching Silt he sug-
gested that they take the train for
Glenwood and the two boarded Mid

To this she made no objection but

she was suffering from n severe read

From Monday 8 Daily Post.

From Mondays 8 Daily Post.
The eleventh annual bicycle roHi
race over the 90 mile track from Ba-
salt to Glenwood was one of the most
successful Of these events ever given
and is altogether satisfactory both to
the management of the Colorado Mid
land railway company, under whose
auspices it is always given, and the
business men of Glenwood Springs who
are more than pleased with the results.
The biggest crowd came from Grand
Junction but other down the river
towns each contributed quite num-
ber of visitors so that by the time the
train reached Glenwood it was loaded
down with n merry tbrong. Aspen anl
Leadville also contributed; liberal
quota.
The riders were taken on board the
special and the run to Basalt was
made with riders, judges, handicap
pers and several hundred who were ca
ger to watch the race from the train
which in the return trip was run so the
passengers were at all times in sight
of the riders.
The first two men to start were
McHugh of Leadville and Joy of AS

gave as $520.90 and the subscriptions
collected 1888 leaving deficit of

no condition to stand the expense of so
many entertainments no matter hcw
meritorious they were and he thought
it time to call halt. Barlow was
rather of the same opinion as he said
it seemed to be the opinion of many
that any kind of entertainment could
be started and the town would make
good the loss. Mr.. Schwarz said such
Strawberry day were of great value to
the town and he thought the board
should help out on this inasmuch as Mr..
keck was given to understand that if
there should be loss the town would
help out to the extent of $95 and this
was all that was asked for. On a
vote to pay the bill all voted for it
except Barnes.
Then the shortage incurred by the
Strawberry day committee was dr.
cused at some length and the deficit of
$6S.S7 was paid.
The bill of DR.. Crook for curb park
ing was finally allowed and the report
of the street and alley committee dis
approving of the grading of South
Blake avenue was adopted.
DR.. FLETCHER renewed his inquiry as
to the building of sewer on the north
side of the Grand river and the mat
ter was referred to the street and al.
