An effort is being made by some
party or parties, through the hiring of
detectives, to put a stop to gambling
devices, slot machines, games of chance
and illegal selling of liquors in these
parts. At Argyle and Rewey matters
have been pushed quite energetically,
resulting IN persons being convicted
for allowing games of chance, etc.
The question seems pertinent: Is it
game of chance when the customer
is the only one to gain and nothing to
lose?
