MUCH LIKE THE LAST STRAW
Poker Player Convinced the Limit
Had Been Reached in Desire
to See His Hand.

Mark Smith, former delegate in con-
gress from Arizona, was talking about
the old days in the territory. Some
one suggested that there were bad
men out there when poker was the
big game.
Yes" said Mr.. Smith, there have
been some stirring games, and / have
heard many good poker story. I
remember one time in Tombstone
when big crowd of sports engaged in
game Of poker In one of the large
clubs. 1t was an open game in
public place and there was no at
tempt to prevent the hangers-on from
watching the game. Now, you prob
ably know how exasperating it is for
persons back of you to peer into your
hand when you are playing poker. No
gentleman likes 1t much. Dan Nc
Cam, one of the characters of Tomb
stone, was deeply engrossed in the
game. He didn't like the curious
glances that were leveled at his hand,
and he didn't hesitate to make known
his Impotence.
Get back, you fellows he kept on
saying. Give a man a chance to
breathe and play his hand
This. of course, didn't have any
effect and Mccain kept on moving
about uneasily in his chair. Present
ly there stalked into the room a form
mer territorial treasurer, the tallest
man in that country; in fact, the tall
est man | ever knew. He must have
been seven feet tall. He slipped in
and took a position behind Mccain
and leveled his eye upon Dams hand.
Mccain, with that subconsciousness
that comes to every one occasionally,
felt the presence of some new person
looking at him. He hardly moved, but
his keen eye detected the tall form
of the treasurer
Well, I'm damned he said Some
son of gun had to ride In on horse

Ankle When Auto Tires Explode.

Kenosha, Wis. Louis Strang
the old seasoned hardened racer
of the Case team, furnished the
thrills for the crowd of Kenosha
speed bugs at the opening of the new
Kenosha motordrome. Fortunately,
however, Kenosha pulled off a race
without a fatality and while Strang
is at the hospital suffering from a
broken right arm and a disfocated
ankle he was not fatally hurt and
may be back in the game before the
end of the present season.
Strang was driving in the first race
on the card when his rear tires blew
up and he went through the fence
with a force that tore out 40 feet Of
the fence.
The 5O-mile race started with half a.
dozen men entered, but when it
finished, DePalma was driving alone
in his class as all other entrants had
been forced out on account of tire
trouble and broken clutches.
DePalma drove a creditable race,
making the half century in 57:45.
