The prosecuting attorney and other
officers of St. Francois county made
a raid on q big crap game in Taylor
town, in the Lead Belt, last Saturday
night a week. ago. The following is
from the Flat River News: "The
"Smiley" Meyer joint on what Gun
Gle Fud" calls "Billy Goat HILL"
commonly known as Taylortown, was
the scene of an animated craps game
Saturday night which was rudely in
terrupted by Prosecuting Attorney
W. E. Golfer and Deputy Oonstables
Webster and Boiling. According to
all accounts it was "some game" and
there was q bank roll of several
thousand behind it. The s'roll" was
furnished by an itinerant profession
al gambler yclept "Red" Howe, who
recently passed this way from New
Mexico. He found a few fellows
here who could also >''pass." The
game started Wednesday night of
last week. The limit was the ceiling,
and even after that point had been
reached you could travel into the
alluring clouds of "big money" and
the man behind the troll" would not
finch nor bat an eye. The officers
Saturday night were unkind enough
TO pay their visit without going
through the formality of sending in
their cards. "Smiley' did his best to
correct this oversight for them by
pulling vigorously at the alarm OF
"pinch'' string the moment they hove
in sight. But they managed to gel
into the basement before the general
stampede was completed, There
were in the neighborhood of thirty
present and they secured the names
of % who were paying homage to
the goddess of chance" 'alt'
