legged gamblers along with the man
who is running the gambling den. He
took several down. to Gunnison on

we hope this will have some effect on
the youths of our town, towards the
gambling and drinking which has
been going on for some time. Never
in the history of Crested Butte. even
when saloons were running, has this
town needed cleaning up as much
as at the present time, and it looks
as If it would get it too.
The Coop store was the scene of
some little excitement Saturday eve
ming when the lucky numbers were
drawn for the sack of flour and candy.
No. 1901 drew the flour but the one
who holds that number has not shown
up as yet. Paul Panian held No. S86
so won the box of candy. This week
the first prize will be large ham and
second box of candy. With each
fifty cent purchase chance is given
free. There will be prizes of equal
value each week until further notice.
Mrs. Goffredi and her brother John
Vernon, invited a number of their
friends to party at the home of the
latter, on Tuesday evening last. The
room was beautifully decorated in
blue and white and those who were
lucky enough to be present enjoyed
themselves immensely by playing
games, telling stories, etc. A delic-
ious lunch was served at about ten
thirty, the guests departing at about
midnight voting Mrs. Goffredi and
