WEEPING AMONG
LOCAL GAMBLERS

There was weeping and wailing and
guashing of teeth among the gamblers
of this city Monday evening of this
week, according to rumors heard on
the streets.
The story is about as follows: "Sev'
eral of the Glenwood gamblers gath
cred in sweet morsel at one of the
open gambling dens of the city and
after few hands with the cards, the
morsel's supply of red, white, blue and
yellow chips was over on the other
side of the table and in the loving
arms of Glenwooi gamblers. 1t is said
that at this point some of the tabled
l. o. Us appeared and were CLAIMED
in by the card artists until some seven
hundred dollars was thus garnered in.
In other words the morsel was loser
to that amount.
All this was as sweet music in the
cars Of the gamblers, but on Monday,
following the game said to have been
played the night before, the morsel
refused to honor the 81. o. US" and
the gamblers had spent their time for
naught. 1t is also hinted that certain
parties interviewed certain other par
ties and asked their assistance in col
lecting the 81. o. U.s.; but the latter
refused. 1t is also rumored that there
were certain other parties who feared
that if matters did not stop every gam
bling hou.e in town would be closed.
Whew! Now wouldn't that be

Snow to the depth of some eight or
nine feet fell near Hartzell and east

National bank was forty-eight hours
on the road. He spent one night at
Hartzell and another at Snowden, near
Leadville, both of which places the
snow was several feet deep. In spite
of these conditions, he said the Mid

Sheriff Divilbss and Detective Billy
Green, the latter of Denver, brought
Edwards to this city and placed him
in the county Jail. In passing along
