DAYS OF 1898
 DRAWS CROWD
Large Sums of Phoney Money Recklessly Wager
 ed at Gambling Tables

Fitting their luck against dame fortune and the brains of the pro gamblers who ran the tables, Ju- neauites, young and old, figured in the losing and winning of thousands of dollars in phoney money last night at the Days of '9S celebration held in the A. B. Hall. upper floor.
 Newcomers to the gambling games were given lessons, some costly, in the art of shooting craps, while others, adept at the game, rolled enough naturals to run the bankers supply almost to the ground.
 Black jack and roulette tables were well patronized also and the zero figures in the latter game made their appearance almost too often. The crowds at the black jack table kept two bankers busy raking in and passing out hun dred dollar bills.
 The dance floor was far from neglected, being we'll filled after the evening was under way. Those who brought their loose change along played the lucky wheel and patronized the bar frequently.
 Tonight, the second and last on the schedule for the Pioneers biz blowout, is anticipated to be the biggest on the program. Wheels will spin, dice will rattle, table heads will be on tap to deal the cards, and the Moonlight Serenad. CTS will again be present to play many of the latest dance hits.
