He Staked His Herd.

Many stories Of big poker games
among the western cattlemen in the
early days have been told, but the
story of the game with probably the
greatest stakes Is here printed Tor
the first time. Two well-known cat
tlemen of southwestern Kansas start
ed to move their herds to the pas
lures of Wyoming. Each herd con.
tanned more than a thousand head OF
cattle. When they came to the
crossing of the Arkansas river near
Coolidge they found food on.
They were unable to cross for two or
three days. To while away the time
the two men engaged in poker game.
When the food finally subsidized so that
the cattle could proceed one of the
cattlemen said to his son. who was
helping to drive: Just turn my herd
over to our neighbor and We will 60
back home" He had bet and lost not
only all the money he had. but all Of
the herd of cattle.

the town their best interests at all
times. Many suggestions were given
to better the fire protection, streets
