Assembly Bill No. "A, the Gambling
Bill, has passed the assembly and with.
out a doubt will pass the senate and
receive the approval Of the Governor of
the State and become law. +
The bill was the special order for 2:1O
p. nd. yesterday and soon after the noon
hour the house commenced to fill by
those who desired to hear the debate.
Every seat in the gallery was taken and
every place that chair could find room
was occupied by the best people of the
city and State who took the interestSin
the measure to attend and aid in it's PAS
sage by their presence. At the calling
of the roll the crowd filed the rear of
the. building and reached far out into
the corridor - al. 3

pro tenn Pyne Of the senate entered the
room and were shown to seats on the
platform with speaker Gift an. Tho roll
was called and with the exception of
Assemblyman Matt Kane of Nye all
were present.. s..
/ :; At 2.06 the clerk was instructed to
commence the reading of the bill and
at the finishing OF the reading Of the
first section, Folsom of Washoe arose
and moved to amend the section to in
clude bridge whist and poker in the
list of the prohibited games. The roll
call was demanded and this was eagerly
watched as showing the strength of the
respective parties. When the roll was
called, the loud 'No" Of Lem Allen was
the cue to defeat the measure and the
men who had pledged themselves to fol-
low his lead did so to man and the
amendment was lost with vote of 20 to
%. There was d craning of necks and a
sort of :, what hit me last" look upon
the faces of the forces lead by Dodge
and Folsom stifl they fought in hopes
that something would turn the trick for
them. '.e.-. -..'
Once again Folsom came forward
with an amendment. which was to the
teffect that the person who gave any
reward, testimony. or present for skill in
any game was guilty of misdemeanor.
Again the roll was called and the tally
did not vary the prior vote. .'''' ...s..
