BEANS, BUNS AND BEER
 FRONTIER NIGHT A SUCCESS

AasO.N sh JSSNAsHoEb Last Saturday night Nome turned out in force and the largest crowd of the social season gathered in Eagle Hall to celebrate Frontier Night, given under the auspices of the local post of the American Legion.
 It would be hard to designate which portion of the entertainment was the most popular-the dancing or the gambling and roadhouse, all enjoyed heavy patronage.
 In the gambling games faro. roul- cite. black jack, craps and other features were scarcely opened when the old timers gathered around the layout to engage their one time fav- orite in battle. The chechaco ele- ment. to whom all these were new. patronized liberally every game. some winning. some losing. The ladies especially took strong lik- ing to the crap game and many ex- pressions of delight were heard when the dice rolled their way. The old timers stacked up against
 the faro game and roulette wheel enjoying themselves as they did in the real old days. even though the money was phony.
 In spite of her inexperience Miss Bertha Carlson annexed the first prize while Mrs. Dr. Welch and Mrs.
 R. ". J. Reed followed In the order named. Wm. Webb took first prize for the men. Arthur Eide second and Fred Deemer third prize The shooting gallery proved con- tinuous source of amusement and there were many exceptionally high scores registered Miss Miller and Mrs. Aver took first and second
 prize while F. Howald and Fred Rohen annexed the prizes for the
 men.
 As the crowd grew tired of gambl- ing. dancing was enjoyed to the music of Harry Gabrielson. Wathey Orchestra and the Moose Orchestra. Even though the games were well patronized the dance floor was at all times filled with whirling couples who immediately after each dance
 returned to the particular game of their fancy, and there listened to the
 siren calls of Spagetti Dan and Bill
 Mcclure. and indulged in hilarious
 laughter over the artistic and uni
 que posters drawn by Elmer Reed
 At all strenuous functions care oi
 the inner man is one of the prime
 requisites and on this evening there
 was ample opportunity to feed fam
 isbed features. Beans, Buns and
 Beer (minus the kick), coffee. sand
 wiches and other good things to cal
 were dispensed by capable corps o' as< istants under the capable manage
 ment of George Hobby. Compared
 with outside prices eatables were
 trife high, s4Oo.O0 for coffee an
 s25O. .00 for a bottle of beer and oth
 CTS at proportionate prices but tn
 bunch were good sports and paid th'
 money without kick, even cant
 back for more.
 The way some of our staid mem bers of society did claw the greel
 cloth was a caution. sure the bar riers were down and every body ie her rip. At one time it was though . necessary to send in a riot call. run on spagetti Dan'' game becam SO intense that Dan was almos
 spcechless, almost but not quite.
 During the run on the crap gam
 messengers were sent to the ban to replenish the roll and before tn
 first messenger reached home an other was on the way for nor ) money. this happened so often tha even the bank went broke and foun r it necessary to issue sight drafts. t The lady winner of the evenin [ caAhed in $120.000, enough to affor her a trip to the outside this sum 5 mer.
