CITY OF RENO is
RUNNING WIDE OPEN

Times are not hard in Reno, not
outstanding the reports which many
of the merchants have handed one
another. This is proven by the fact
that a few nights ago a little game
of poker took place in which hun
dreds and thousands of dollars were
in evidence. One of the players, a
man who was a defeated candidate
in the primaries, was staked by a
friend with the sum of $35 to take
hand in the game with the result
that when he had finished his sitting
he was $4,000 to the good The game
was lively one from start to finish
and any old pair was sufficient to
set the ball rolling. 1t is reported by
those on the inside that a fellow with
sporting blood and coin in his pocket
can be accommodated at almost any
kind of game in the city.-Carson
