 SAME OLD GAME.-A man known by the sobriquet of Silvertip drifted into town recently and with another whose name is given as O'Brien, se- l cured a room in 8 lodging house. | Working the street for prospects" he | encountered a Frenchman he had | known in the mining camps, to whom | he imparted the information that he l had cousin named O'Brien, with | whom he was rooming who had more money than brains. but by reason of l their relationship he could not take ] his money away from him though he | was dead easy at the game of poker. 1 He suggested that he and the French | man repair to the room and engineer a | game in such a way that at the con clusion the F'renchman would have the | money, after which they could split the dividends. The Frenchman fell for l the old trick and of course lost all he 1 had and then complained to the police 1 Though the Frenchman demonstrated | by his plotting that he was on the same moral level with the other plotters, the | police tried to lay their hands on Sill l vertip and O'Brien, but they had eff l fectually eliminated themselves from l the landscape.
