An Incident in the Bistory of the Famous Texas Gambling House at Leadville, A Banquet That Was Prepared for Millionaires and the Exciting Oonee- quences. Inepired With Wine, the Guests “‘Buck the Tiger” and Win $30,000. A Notorious Resort Now In Aehes. Denver Tribune, Dec, 0. Well, it never was a gambling houee, althopgh 1t did hava the name; and it might as well have been struck by firo as by lightning, which would have hit it eoras day, sure,” “Them's my eontiments. The Texas never did have but one man in it who daro gamble, and he quit as woon aa he found bo was in bad com- pany.” It did not require a second look to satisfy one that the two persons who were discnssing the destruction of the Texas house at Leadville by fire, over their morning stimalant, were gam- blers. The one had just finished tho reading of the telegraphic sciount of the conflagration in one of the news. papers to his companion, when he de- livered himself of the firat remarks he lifted the glass of cocktail to his lips. There was that in the reply of the second gambler which recalled to the mind of the writer one of the incl- dents of gambling life in the carbon- ate metropolis which was character- istic of the early excitement and prosperity, and which has never seen the types. The speaker was correct when he said that the famous Texas house never had but one gambler among either its owners or corps of dealers and ‘“‘lookouts.” And everybody acquainted with Leadville will admi* that it was a famous house. From wherce its fame was derived it would be difficult for even the patrons of the resort to determine, Thero wasa something half romantio, half terrible about the place that naturally attract- ed residents and visitors alike, Per- haps it was thesuggeative name Texas; perhaps it was the fact that the pro- prietors had the roputation of owning the wealthiest gambling house at Gal- veston, aud camo to Leadville to win the float money of the camp if they were foreed to play ‘‘no limit” games; or porhaps it was tho impression that the player, who built his hopes on small staken, could win more there— onee fortune favored him—than clse- where, At ell events (t was a famous house, and the memory of it will long outlive the loss to the winds of its yet smouldering ashes, Being a famous house in such a re- gion, the presumption follows that it must have been the scene of some wild and fierce contests for luck and money between banker and player. Thisis not mo. With the exception of one in- tereating affair, nothing in the way of gambling ever occurred within Its walla worth reciting—nothing that can- not be daily witneesed in ordinary haunts of faro players. However, it is true that during the period of Load- ville's greatest excitement—from the fall of '78, when tho house was built, and the miners’ strike of 1880, which marked the change in the life of the city—tho Texas was crowded day and so | Night by men crazod with the bellef that they could win a fortune at the table. Four and six faro lay-outs were in constant demand. Crowds of peo- ple congregated about the roulette table, listening to the monotonous roll of tho littlo white ballaround the rain- bow circle, and the stereotyped cry: ““Twenty-four and the black; twenty eight for one on the number; black wins and red loses, and placed perhaps the price of a last meal, with the hope of winning a month's board, only to see it disappear like the mist before the sun, These were the prinoi- pal games of the houte. ILhe faro games were comparatively small, a8 regarded the amaunt of money which oacillated botween dealer and Pll’fll‘l‘ Twenty:five dollars limit on ‘slogles” and fifty on the ‘‘doubs” was the heavy games, and ten.cent chips were not strangers. These games were on the lower or bar room floor. No locsl celebrity patronized them, becauso of their publicity. Without a celebrity on the outside a faro game is usually a very stale af. fatr, at which one man sits behind a table passing over ivory chips in ex- change for lawful money of the United States, and then replacing the ohips in the rack from Wgsuco they were taken, while the player finds his only consolation in grimaces and a mut- tered oath. This was a feature of the down-stairs games, Nobody came in here and asked for a hundred or five hundred dojlar limit; nobody came in here avd requested no limit; in fact, the games were small, conducted on & large scale of capitalization, The one attraction—the one fasolation--was, that if the outside man did win, his Juck bad an immense ‘‘bank roll” to draw upon. Bat he usually lost, Miners hoping to extend thelr visit to the camp by increasing the remnant of their wages left from a night's de- bauch; young men about town with more ease than elegance and more luck than sense, eager to cheaply provide for & new depravi- ty in a den of sin and shame; stran- gers who were stranded in their search for & carbonate mine or a sineoure in the silver Mecoa, and only sought the means to comtortably take themaselves henoe; visitors who endeayor to learn the mysteries of the ‘‘tiger's” lair at a modest cost; and young clorks who frequently lost more than their sala- ries, were about the only frequenters of this floor, There was not much mouney iuit, but the house in a quiet, steady way, made & handsome profi- on the investment and chances Save a few.exceptions, the dealers at these games were not considered gamblers They were looked upon by the frater- ty as penvy ante fellows, who were only dangerous when they were play- ing with some one else’s money. Their recompense was from five to ten dollars & day.

Songs were sung, toasta Were | p,rsonal Remuisconces of Une of made, stories were told, but duringall these hours not 8o much as the playing ol cards was auggested, But there was one gambler in the houte. It was only the favored few, outside of the high wager players, who ever saw the gas turned up in his apartment, Ho was a New Yorker. He came to the camp unheralded anc without enough funds to equip a lay- out, In a tew days after his arrival he was tho host in the most elegant apartments in the city. The sun would ecarcely have cast the sotting ehadow of Mount Massive noross Tenuesses park before the half muffled forms of men could be seen gliding into the ¢ice entrance of tho Texas house and hurriedly mounting the stairs. Awuy 1ato the light of the next day's dawa these forms could be soen passing in and out of this en- trance. They uttracted no particular attention; everybody was busy with his own pleasures and excitementa in theso days to notice trifles. If you were not acquiinted with the load- stone in the csse, you would never suspeot that these were merchants in high repute, mine owners and mana- gers who bad no sccial inclinings in common with the rabble. In the rear of the house and on the second floor were three gorgecusly furnished apart- ments, One a recoption and reading room, auother a dining hall, and the third a gambling room. The latter contained a lavishly stocked side. bonrd, and here the guest was invited to help himself. This depart- ment of the house was an experiment. The firat thing about it that strock the visitor was the round faced,sanve, good uatured inhabitany who, without introduction, rcquested you, with an ecclesiastical flourieh of the hand, to join him at 1he sida-board, Oune minute dealing for a §500-a-card win- ner with church like composure, the next looking idly on trom the lookout chair, and thea bustling through the several apartm:nt making certain the courtesies to sud accommodation of the visitors. This was John Pentland. Starting with nothing he had estab- lished the heavy patronage of the house and wouf or it nearly $80,000 within a few months, He was the gembler of tho house; losses brought him no complaint or loss of sleep, Ro- veraos never blunted his liberality or affacted his good humor, Around town he was a leader when fun was the object. His money went as it came: free and witkout any string tied to it. On the floor beneath the roulette man rolled the little white ball, and the poor player.saw his last quarter of a dollar disappear from the red spot. With despair in his soul and poverty in his pockete, he walked out into the night to find some place where he could sit within the warmth of a bar- room fire and sleep. The faro dealer passed the chips to and fro from the rack, and the players one by one “‘went broke” or ‘‘cashed in” and sought other places. The restless tide of cheap humanity came and went, and the twenty-five and ten cent games moved on as if forever. The teast above was a concealed page in the volume of that night's life. The millionaires feasted, wined and toasted and thought no more of the struggling mass of poverty, depravity and emo- tions beneath them, than if they were the inhabitants of a distant land, After fourteen coarses, half as many wines and cognac and coffee, what would be more natural and be- coming than the light turning of one's mind to excitement, cards, faro—any- thing that had a chance in it. Some one suggeated, and then some one ex- plored, and a few mioutes l.u‘ the major portion of the distinguished guests had taken possession of Pent. land’s apartments. . The faro game was quietly progress. ing, First one and then another took a seat to watch the cases, and soon all were playing. Some had systems, but most of them had more money than what is considered skill, and bet carelessly and recklessly. It was a hifl ?un. The ‘‘ivy whites” sold at & dol'ar and a quarter, and the ory was “‘no limit,"” “‘Well, if T don't win again; see there!” would exclalm a well-known judge, as he moved the pay for a $500 bet from off the lay-out and placed the stack on a fresh card, There we are again; did ysu ever see anything like it 1"’ would another player murmur, as he stacked up his winnings, It seemed as though the bank could not capture a single bet, Everybody on the outside won, Deal after deal, the game never varied in favor of the “‘bank,” and even an impecunious re porter of The Herald, inspired by the surroundings, put down $6§which he had set aside to pay on his week's board, and during & deal won $145, There Pentland sat, moviog the cards out of the box, paying off and passing out the unlucky cards that lost him thousands, the smile never departing from his face, He never murmured, aud disastrously though the cards were coming, when the lucky jadge excited by success desired to place a thousand dollars on the king ‘‘to win,” Pent- land said : “*Why, of course, bet ten thousand if you wish.” The king won, Beveral times the rack was stripped of chips, and those in the hands of players had to be bought in, The game did not iast long, not the Early Sottlers. The older citizens of Omaha, look- ing with pride npon the present met- ropolitan proportions of the eclty, doubtless once in a while sit down and reflect upon the many changes which have been made since they firat seitled themselves and made their homes hero, Many of the pionoers are dead, Of thoeestill living some are in their dotage, while others, hav- ing been successful in business, are puffed with pride on account of a large bank balance, and call thomselves the aristocracy of the town. There is yet another class of old settlers, who, being of a sensible turn of mind, like to place themselves, as it were, in a proper and natural light before those who have come after them. Some of these latter persons tell with evident relish experiences they had in the early times, They are surely not colored with a Dr. Millerian “per- sonal reminiecences” halo, but are plain facts related as they are re- membered. In the hearing of the writer, a short time ago, one of these good and honest-hearted old fellows was entertaining an interested grou, of listeners on early times. ‘It would hardly seem possible to you gentleman,” said he “‘who aro comparatively new comers here, whav changes have been wrought by time and circumstances, both on the peo- ple and the town itsclf Now we bavo ono of the pretticat aud moat progressive cities iu the country.

On the boats coming up the river passengers enjoyed them- selves during the long and tedious trip most heartily. Learning each othera destinations a sort of brotherly feeling would spring up when it was found that they were bound to the same place. the cabins, tho orchostra being tmpro- vised for the occasion, it generally con- sisting of a fiddle and maybe a melod- eon or organ accompauiment,” “We did not lack for ladies socle- ty,” contiaued the narrator, ‘‘formost of our early townsmen came here mar- ried, and ].y good and noble oo They came from their eastern homes as much imbued | j with the spirit of enterprise as their husbands and were fully determiced to help so far as lay in their power, The trips up the river sometimes consumed two and three weeks ac- cording to the stage of water. Soags and sandbars formed an obstacle during low water. The steamers were good, the best boats belonging to what was koown as the “0" line of packets, The ‘‘West Wind” and ‘Colorado” were the favorite boats and their whistles were well known to the citizens, and when they were beard half of the popula- tion would rush to the landing to see them come in. Ia those days George W. Homan, Sr., kept a livery stabla on the corner of Thirt:enth and Har- noy strevta where Steele, Johnson & Company's wholesale house nowstands and Matt. Wilber had one where the Opera House was recintly built, ell, there used to be a great rivalry between the two stables, Each owned a four horse ‘bus,’ und each had a raan stationed on Capitol hill at the head of Farnam street to watch for boats coming up the river. As soon a8 one was sighted by its smoke as far down as Bellevue landiny the lookonts would run down the hill and notify their respective bosses of the fact. Then a scramble to hitch up the team would ensue, every man about the stable being brought into requisition, The ron down Faroam street to the Ende just east of the old Herndon otel (now the Union Pacific head- quarters), would be very exeiting, for each driver wanted to get there first, as at that time the road way was narrow and there was only room for one vehicle at a time. Often they would get on the grade at the same time and then there would be a fight to see which wonld go ahead. Such feeling was in the matter that generally one of the ‘busses’ would roll down the bank vefore the conte. versy would be settled. fuls ‘bus’ would then go om to the boat and get all the passengers. The |! chanvel cf the river in those tiwe|, was on this side and the boats used to land either at the foot of Farnam or Douglas streots.
