The concensus of opinion among
prominent attorneys of Goldfield
who have closely read the anti
gambling law which goes into
effect at midnight of the first day
of October, is that there is undue
apprehension On the part of the
public as to the extent it is in
tended to affect card playing as a
diversion where there is no prize,
money or other reward or property
consideration at stake, and that the
law is not directed against such
games as may be played for amuse-
ment but for a stake, prize, or
reward of any kind, however, are
evidently prohibited by this law.

of the camp by the high prices

back to the camp is the lack of

COYOTE AND CRANE. Fight

A few mornings ago the writer
noticed four blue cranes in field
about quarter of a mile from the
house.
The birds were observed through
a glass and appeared to be resting.
They were standing on one leg and
acted as if asleep.
Presently coyote crept up on
the flock through the sagebrush
and it looked as if the time for one
of the birds to furnish meal for
the coyote was at hand. &C.. q.
Suddenly the coyote shot out ;of
his ambush and was right in
among the cranes. But he failed
to land. The birds to furnish a
meal for the coyote and each put
down one leg and side stepped the
rush of the enemy. 49,.
The coyote. after passing through
tne flock, wheeled and made
another rush. The birds had put
down the legs they were not stand
ing on and stepped aside on the
other leg. When the enemy re-
turned they simply stepped back
to the old position.
The coyote kept rus hing back
and forth among the birds and the
clever footwork they executed
would make professional pugilist
green with envy.
Then the coyote would retire for
rest into the sagebrush and wait
for the birds to go to sleep, which
they would Immediately do.
He would then make another
rush and the cranes would wake up
and do some more stunts and the
coyote would retire. He finally got
too close to the cranes and they got
weary of his freshness and began
pecking at his eyes with their long
beaks.
All four closed in on him at
once and, yelping with pain, he
broke for the sagbursh and started
off in the direction of the Hot
Springs, presumably to wash up

THE Gambling QUESTION

That there will be an attempt
made in the coming legislature to
repeal the anti-gambling law
grows more and more evident every
day. The sporting fraternity
driven from every other state, is
making its last stand in Nevada.
On one side is arrayed a class of
men, who aside from the business
they follow are good citizens.
But intimately associated with
them is lot of hangers.on, men
who follow the paths that lead to
vice and crime; men, who would
not hesitate to commit all manner
of crimes and whose very presence
pollute the fountains of decency
and good citizenship. 1t is this
class of men who will be compelled
to seek other fields and whose
going will be a blessing to the
communities in which they now
live.
Another phase of the problem is
the amount of revenue the state
will loose by the enforcement of
the anti-gambling law. Those who
make this argument overlook the
history of every state in which
gambling is prohibited. To off,
set this loss of revenue, there will
be less money spent for the
punishment of crimes directly
tracable to the gambling table,
fewer calls for charity, more happy
well-fed and well-dressed women
and children, less temptation to
the, youth of both sexes and a
higher, better and purer citizensip.
This has been the history of other
states where gambling is pro.
hibited and it will be repeated in
Nevada.
This gambling question should
appeal to the young men of this
state. The Nevada of the future
will be what they make it. If
they love their state and want it TO
take its proper place in the sister,
hood of states, they should make
their influence left at the polls in
November by voting only for legis-
lators who are pledged to vote
against the repeal of the anti
gambling law. Candidates who re-
fuse to pledge themselves on this
question should not receive the
support Of those who want this evil
driven from the state.

craftsmanship of their state con-

favor Sherman, while Roosevelt is
backed by the progressives. The
delegates to the state convention
have been elected and both factions
claim majority. From present
indications, there will be something
when the convention meets.
