THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY AUGUST 5. 1 RNIGHTS OF THE GREEN CLOTH How They Throve in Omaha in Former Times. CANADA BILL'S PECULIARITIES, The isode of the River—A Gam- bler Compelled to Dis- gorge His Winnings From an Old Man. 014 Time Gamblers, The law that closed the gambling houses in Omaha took effect July 4, 1887, since which time gambling has virtually ceased in this city. The flush time when money was plenty and bets big, was about twenty years ago. Prob- ably one of the best known men of the gambling fraternity of the west in the old days was “Canada Bill” whose real name was William Jones. He was a hovse trader by profession and a three- card-monte expert from choice. There was not a railroad west of the Missis ippi thut he had not traveled over—al- ways as a slouchy countryman, and so complete was his disguise, that upon one occasion he succeeded in fleecing o fellow gambler from the Pucific coast who had thought to practice his art upon Bill, taking him for the unso- phisticated farmer he appeared. It is said that when the game was over, Bill returned all he had won, disclos- ing his identity, and advising the as- tonished Californian that in future he should not consider every man in rough clothing his vietim. Bill's Omaha place was in o frame building that stood at the northeast corner of Eleventh and Farnam streots whe < Meyer’s elegunt brick block is now situated. In those days much traveling was done by water, and the chief landing piace for steamers and fervies was atthe foot of Jones street. The old plank roud leading up town came up Jones to Ninth, then to Far- nam street, and Bill used to catch all the emigrant *‘suckers,” for he could at sight. The story 1s told that once an emi- grant possessing considerable stock and al wagons, as well as a snug sum of sy, dropped into Bill's place with fond intention of becoming a mil- lionaire. But he lost all his property and in all likelihood would have put up his children if Bill would have taken them. However, Bill gave back every:- thing to him with the sound advi hi in future he should not endeavor to gain something for nothing. It was one of Canada Bill’s favorite sports, to win_all a man had, only to return it with a lec- ture. On oneof his railway trips, he ran across a boy traveling with father and mother, sitting down beside the boy, he devoted all his attention to amusing him, and ot last asked the boy to get s0me tobacco, offering him fifty cents for Lis trouble. After a time Bill drew out his cardsand threw them, asking the boy if he could pick up a certain one. Cyrus looked up in surprise at so simple @ question and exclaimed: “Well, T should say I can,” and he did. Wheceupon, Bill declared Cyrus was the smartest boy he had over known, and threw the cards again. After the hoy had picked up the right one & number of times in succession, and had thus won quite a sum of money, his father, who ]mll been an interested spectator whispered audibly to wife. *Go and get that money out of your belt. I'm going to have Cyrus bet high next time.” ‘fhe woman left her seat for a mo- ment and returning handed her hus- band a big roll of money. He banked “with his son and the two made a bot with Bill. The cards were thrown and “the old gentleman rubbed his chin and said: “Can you pick it up, Cyrus?”and Cyrus answered confidently: ‘‘I should say Ican, EIL" But he didn’t. With his usual mag- nanimity Bill returned the money and the way he lectured that boy on being smart was a caution, Cyrus probably has never forgotten the game or the lecture. Bill finally dvifted east, and died penniless among strangers in Reading, e R N by only o fow sporting men. It was conspicu- ous for the absence of either women or tears. Just as the coffin was about to be lowered into its last resting place, one of the gamblers present suggested that they look inside the coffin to be sure that Bill was there, saying that he had been in many a tight place before, ‘brt had always been successful in ext: cating himself. The lid was raised, disclosing the remains of one of the most famous three-card monte men of his day in a place from which no man can free himself. The lid was screwed down again and the coff'n lowered into the grave which hid Canada Bill from sight forever. finck Morrow was an eccentric gambler but very liberal in his peculiar way. Jack would meet a farmer on the street with a load of apples, inquire the price, and no matter what it was, pay cash down for it and have it dumped in the streot for th benefit of the public. It is said he has even disposed of a lond of hay in thiserratic manner. There was a physician that used to gamble a considerable, He would ride his horse into a salpon and take a drink. Another well known gambler of the old days was Dan Allen. Dan had his place out Cuming street, then known as the military rond, near Saunders street, and where Furay’s barn now is. There were swamps and a big bridge out there then. It was quite s ways out in the country and it was quite a **fly” coun- try. Dan Allen was one of the finest men of the gambling fraternity. No man, gambler or preacher, saint or sin- ner, could ever say a word against Dan personally. He was always kind and ¢ obliging, never taking an unfair ad- « vantage of anyone, Other eld-timers in Omaha were “Stuttering” Brown, who ran a place “where the Diamond saloon now is, on Douglas street, Doc Bangs, Sherm Thurston and McAfly. The Union Pa- cific and the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroads were the favorite routes that they worked, The steamers plying between Omaha and St. Louis was also a favorite route for the gamblers to ply their vocation. WAfter working a boat ‘thoroughly they would stop at the first landing-place and await another boat, Many of them have been known to be four and five months coming from St.Louis to Omaha. Arriving in this city, they would recu- perate for a few days and then return. Uncle Johnny Stanton used to pose as & gambler, but he never was, He was a great story-teller and a universal favorite umong the fraternity, and the kept him well supplied with funds, It 1s said that he was a brother of Edwin M. Stanton, but this lacks verification. Uncle Johnuy died at the county poor farm not lonj ago. A cattleman came into & gambling-house on Doug- las street. a good many years ago with the uvowed intention of break- fog the game. At one time he was nearly $7,000 shead, but he grew excited, and when he tinally left his after playing all night, he was a loser to the amount of #1,500. Evidently he was not really as smart a8 acountryman, a gawky, beardless boy, who played un+ til' he was a winner of about $100, when he refused to play any longer, “‘Oh. I ain’t goin’ to play any more,” he said, as he pocketed the money and moved towards the door. ““I mightn’t be so lucky agia.” 1 was coming up from St. river once back in the '60°'s, It was so warm that the little stateroom we stifling to me, and o I 'left it _and went out upon the deck. Tt wasa dull, moon- light night, and the moonlight falling upon tho water gave ita dull, sombre aspect. [drew a chair up to the rail- ing, and was ning over, lost in thought, when a voice startled me. “Are you going o remain in Omaha? “Yessir,” I replied, *for a shori time." “I never tire of watching the moon- lighton the water,” he continued in a low, friendly voice. *“There is always something peaceful about it. I remem- ber, not long ago, T was coming up from Louis. There was a notorious gam- bler aboard from St. Louis, who was reaping a rich harvest from th many susceptible men aboard.

He seemed to have lost his head completely, and actually could not keep away from the He was accompanied by his daughter, a pale girl of about eighteen, who clung to her father, pleading with him not to play, but for some gambling possesses a peculiar charm and it did for this man. One afternoon I ran upon his daughter sitting with her head in k hands and weeping. 1 could not resist the temptation to stop and lisien to what she was saying to her father who stood before her. **Oh, dear, dear “what will we do v and mother in Lincoln dy will we reach Lincolu?

His eyes were heavy and bloodshot. 1 divined the reason at once. He had lost ail his money, and now when it was too late he saw his folly. The full horror that he would rrive ina strange place without ¢ friends, and his wifein Lin- ying, and waiting for him, swept over him. By and by s daughter left him and walked down the deck and T went up and spole to her. She told me the gambler had robbed her father of $700. ft her in her sorrow _and walked aw: I had not gone far before I found the gambler leaning over the railing and looking down on the water. It was just such anightas this, the moonlight falling upon the river. He was a small man, and as I was quite strong and agile I sprang forward, caught him by collar and leg and raised him over the railing. **Don’t 'y, I hi ‘or I shall throw you into the rive “What do you want?” he gasped, his teeth chattering with fright. “‘I want the %700 you got from that old maun,” I said. He saw beneath him the cold, sombre, seething water that seemed to be thirsting and calling for him. ““Let me down,” he cried, “I will pay you the money.” 1 let him down, for he was completely cowed. He paid me the money just-as the boat whistled for Omaha and wentskulking away. Never before or have I since experienced so much pleasure as I did when I returned the money to the girl. I wasvery glad to learn after, that the mother was not as ill as had been supposed, and that she lived to accompany her hus- and daughter back to St. Louis. E. A. EATON. Joe on the futher,” IMPIETIES., A San Francisco clergyman preached a sormon on truth & week or two ago, in which he said this would be a hard year on truth. A young sporting man went into a religious book store the other day and asked for a work on_steeplechasing. = He was given a guide book to the cathedrals of England. The report that Ouida has become a devout christian is received with incredulity, and cannot be verified or disprovea with' any- thing like absolute certainty until after the appearance of her next book.

At a Brooklyn church sociable—'*Are you acquainted with the Pointdexters, Mrs. Or- thodoxy! They are such nice peopie, and so good,.’ “Oh, “dear, no.

James Stephenson, of Montezuma, Ind., a leader in the Mothodist church and superin- tendent of the Sunday school, has fled to Canada with $12,000 of public school funds. As long as he didn’t carry away the church and Sunday school the peopte of Montezuma ought to become reconciled to their fate. A clergyman 1 one of the Bahama islands proposed that the service be shorter for the convenience of his_parishioners. A day or 80 afterward he received this protest: *‘Indeed, sir, our ladies will neber tink it worth while to dress only to sit in church for one hou We wonder if such a remoustrance could come from uny other place!

J.JACQUE Three Brave Women. Boston Herald: There were eight persons in the mountain wagon. They were at the steepest pitch in the des- cent from Mt. Washington, and both springs had already been broken on the trip, and were bandaged with wooden splints, when the horses tumbled. The woman on the seat with the driver turned an eye of terror to those behind her. Tnamoment one of the two men in her party had jumped from the wagon and ordered " the ladies to dis- mount as quickly as possible, The other man of the party, stricken with terror ran into the woods. The driver sat speechless, holding his reins in hand. One woman hastened to block the wheels with a stone, The woman on the front seat unhitched the two span of leaders from their fallen companions and led them to a position out of danger and petted them until they were quiet. Another woman, and a Boston lady who is well known, stepped up to the kick- ing and groanlng E\’orieu and disengaged the traces, atthe same time dodging the heels of the disabled animals, and then the driver, who had held the fort till his assistants had made the lifting of thet eam from its pressure on the dis- abled horses possible, dismonnted and speedily put his team in order again.

Witn t keen insight into human nature born of long expe- rience, he knew that the outburst of rave on the part of the little beauty had its origin in one of ghose lovers’ quar- rels that occur between printers and their assistants when they fall in love with one another. they sometimes do. In fact, one of his many and onerous duties is to subdue th Ve b noos, and he doos it judgment that the love ns heing separated forever, remain united I'wo or three months later he had the satisfaction of learning from the little rosobud hersell that she and Mr. Brown were soon to be married. She handed in her resignution, in ne- cordance with the unwritten law that no woman with a husband shall work in the bureau, and began her preparation for the translation before the altar from n printer’s assistant to the higher position of a printer’s wife.

Among new fabrics corded silk, with a hread of gold runuing through it, is one of ichest, and indeseribably handsome. The most elegant inported parasols are de- void of garniture, and are made of costly satins, moire, and silk nets. With the still growing fashion for round wausts and their stylish bolt adornings, buckles and clasps are in great demand. A whdsummer fancy that late weather makes sensible is that of wearing shoulder capes of long fur or of plush with thin gowns. The loose smlor or Garabaldi blouses are good wear for growing girls, as they give room for development and hide undesirable angles. Lace, tulle or net mixed with velvet or moire upon struw and formnga matrix for numberless long-stemmed flowers is the fea- ture of millnery just now.
