GAMBLING IN JUAREz

Editor FL Paso Herald:
What will be the next game on the
sporting calender in Juarez? Last, but
not least, is the pugiIistic or socaned
boxing bouts that can be INDUCED in
without even drawing the color line
The citizens OF Juarez and FL Paso
have hoped and look forward to the
time when all kinds of gambling would
have to come to an end, therefore max
ing impossible for the commissioned or
licensed parties to separate the work
ing man and his hard earned money
needed to pay rent, grocery bills and
for the many things necessary to the
comfort of his family, or the 100 diff
ferent ways he could use it to better
advantage, rather than take chances on
the different gambling machines and
games. Still the people will lose their
last dollar and even their last nickel
and have to depend on friend to Dor
row carfare home. Some people seem
to think it great honor to lose their
last dime in those resorts and be called
q dead game sport" Then stand the
landlord off for next weeks room rent.
The good citizens OF Juarez and Ell
Paso have hoped that with the change
of administration there would be many
reforms. That the gambling resorts
and building of a second Monte Carlo"
in Juarez would be blotted out, and it
looked for a time as if the new govern
ment were going to make a general
cleaning up" of all crooks and bunco
men that had gathered in the border
city

had no relief IN regard to gambline-
In the place OF being reduced or stop
ped, more games have been added to
the list We have had to contend with
keno for two years or longer, which is
q daily dream to men. women and chill
dren alike; any one who can count NAV
play, and every dollar that is played
comes back TO the player Is cents short,
or in other words, every dollar you
play against the game out of your own
money. II you had to give your bank
er or any money lender Is cents Tor
each dollar you borrowed. you would
throw up both hands and cry robbery
and have your attorney prosecute your
creditors for usury.
Now for the club rooms and poker
games. Previous to the recent battle
there was only one club room running
In Juarez. which consisted Of stud and
draw poker. The club was closed at
the beginning Of the battle of Juarez
and remained closed until after the
governors departure for Chihuahua.
Then the doors were opened once more
to the public. But this time the own
ers Of the club decided to give their
patrons a few side degrees in adding
TO the card games, faro, roulet and
game OF dice commonly called craps"
and now with the pugilistic bouts reg
ularly each week, there is only one
more addition to be added in the
sporting nne-the man with the bird
cage and the shell game. 1t is sup
posed there will be room for all as the
writer was credibly informed that
there would be three or four more gam
bling houses opened in a few days.

STREETS FLOODED

Heavy Rain Brings a Tor

Results.

Silver City. N. NJ, July 13-The
heavy rain brought down a heavy flood
through the town The principal bust
ness streets were filled with water two
to three feet deep. while the large ar
roya in the center of the town. which
is about 80 feet deep and over 100 feet
in width. was partially filled with
flood waters. averaging about 10 feet
in depth.
The large volume of water did prac-

in several places. 1t is the largest
flood of the season and the people are
congratulating themselves that no
great damage was done. 1t was still
raining yesterday in the Pinos Altos
mountains and the Chloride Flat coun-
try and the flood was several hours in
running down.
1t is understood that the Santa Fe
railway between this town and Dem

heavy flood waters for several miles

that the track and bridges in the flood
