BUCKING THE TIVER 1N BULTE The Gamss and Trilks® Played in the Gambler's' Mecoa. KNIGHTS ~ OF THE "' GREEN CLOTH p AR A Large Share of Miners' Monoy for Chipi—The Gilis Wide leensed—The Men Who shaaged Opsn Butte, Mont., has two distinguishing characteristics, It is the biggest min- ing camp in the world and the Mecea of professional gamblers, Mining camps are the acknowl- edged hunting grounds of gard sharps and spocts, honca the sefond largest city in Montana is infested with neat-fingered, tricky, cool-nerved and ubiquitous knights of the green cloth. The miner is the game stalked and easily obtained. With the Anaconda, Boston and Moa- tana, Parrot, Lexingtou, Alice and other big paying mines in operation, the monthly payroll is over 300,000, A greater part of this ins up against the unk.” Three shifts of eight hours enchb are worked each day in the various mines, nd while one shift is working another is sleeping and the third is gambling. The gambling houses arc licensed, and run faro games and ‘‘round the tuble” poker. Thes ions ure allowed, but ‘‘rouictte, red and bluck,” *‘wkoel of fortune,” *‘hazard, or any game with a “kitty ge drawoaci are forbidd governs the affairs of the lishments, and y and night shifts’of dealers are worked. IMaro bunk deulers work for wages, 36 per day, and *‘eatou t of the drawer.” The limit in most houses is $12.50, while other proprietors with more “sand” allow their putrons, or victims, to bet as high as theiv evil genii urge. From dawn to dawn the clicking of the chips is heard. There is hardly any cessation. Butte is essentially an ‘‘all mght? town. Throughout the winter and spring the city is overrun with the gumbling fraternity. As sum- mer opens up, and wch worthy mukes a ‘*stake,’heslipsaway to smaller mining camps to cleun up all the money in sight. He generally gots it. At sheep-shearing time, which occurs in June, certain sWck individuals ure missed from their old haunts in the ity and go after the money of the herders or percen- nnd stock raisers. ‘They know their men. In this section of the country, with plenty of hard work and such meager ouportunities for ation, the other- wise sensible man seeks diversion in gambiing. This peculiarity is fostered and pandered to by the practiced sharper, and the hard earned money goes surely into the professional gam- bler’s pociet. A Smart Trick. While in a conversational mood re- cently one of the bhest known and slickest gamblers divulged some “in- teresting” facts coneerning the gulling of the citizen withthe “sporting’ blood. Taking his cue from theatrical enter- prises last summer he secured an ad- vunce agent. This agent was fitted out as a salesman for a Chicago house,whose commodity consisted of fine grades of playing cards. Itis hardly necessary to state that all these cards were mariced. The agent’s instructions were to sell the cards or give them away, so that every store in ail the small hamlets would have them for sale. *‘Sell ’em for two bitsa grossif you can’t get more,” said the gambler. Two bits equals 25 cents. One month after all the desived localities had been flooded with this brand of cards the shrewd gambler started on his rounds. He had it all his own way. The backs of the cards w: an open book to him. The game mostly indulged in was *stud poker.” The Swedes are *‘stud fiends,” and would stake their clothes on the gume. This suited the peripatetic gam- bler. He cleaned up $15,000 in two months, went east, blew it in and tken came buck to Butte to make another stake. He is now planning a raid through bucolic and mining sections for this summer. “Honor among thieves” and *‘Dog won't eat dog’ are two saws which ex- perience u black eve among the gam- bling fraternity. In the expressiv patois of the guild, they “do” each other upon the shghtest” provocation. One house in Butte hus gone $100,000 behind hand in the last two months be- use so many professionals have “gone against the ban They know every move, play systems and ure the most undesivable patrons. If the opportunity is off same men will fix the card; er’s box so that they have a 1 thes in tho deul- sure thing aguinst the bank. Only last week the proprictor found a gambler “‘sanding” the cards in order to beat the bank. This house always ieaves u box of cards out with the bartender in order to open up the first game in the morning. The bartender on this occasion stood in with the outside gambler and gave him the cards to fix. Fortunately for the head of the establishment a friend saw the “doctoring” in uperation and informed him, or he would have been out to the tune of #30,000 or $40,000. Without much ado the drink mixer and his “‘pard” were thrown out upon the cold world. Beating the Bank. “Sanding” the cards consists 1n the application of sand 0. the edges of the cards so that a keenzeyed man can pro- cure a flash of the pext card before it comes from the box. To a novice the device would bo thrown away, but to a gnmbler, whose mblé?!a a deck of cards, the scheme works sagislactorily. Another method ofsbeuting ‘the bank is mmplu and yet hard dor an outsider to use. The first move isto get possession of the cards in the detler’s box. A man will wateh like §° hawk for days until the opporwunity presents itseil. ‘When the cards ure i his possession the gambler wiil punctune with u needle each card with a sblack spot in the corner. With a shawp knife all indica- tion of the puncturéis'concealed. This hole is infinitesimal, buit enough for the purpose of the man working the scheme. He places himself alongside the dealer and watches the cards care- fully. 1f there is an ace, deuce or tray under the top or ‘‘soda’ card, there will be visible to the gambler’s eye a flash of white. This flash gu des him and he dumps his money around those cards, carefully capped off with ‘“‘coppers. Until the continuous luck of the playver attracts the dealer’s suspicions the gaw- bler is all right and the money goes his 27, 1892, way, but if the trick is discovered his game 18 u While there are a few ways to beat the bank the methods of the latter for cleaning out the players in front are le- gion. An expert dealer watches the ystom that every man is playing, and if there is much money at stake he can shuflle the cacds in such o manner as to bring misfortune upon the head of the worshipar of a pot system. Plugging & Wheel, It was only a year or soago that a well known and slippery gumbler plugged the “wheel” of a co‘laborer in the vine- yord of the dishonest dollar, [t was at Wallace, Mont. ile slipped into the shack one night, bored a gimlet hole in the wheel right below a heart. Into this he poured leaq, inserted a wooden plug and varnished the spot. On the following morning he dropped casually into the establishment and dronped a twenty-dollar gold piece on the heart red. It won and twenty more was placed with it. e left the entire amount standing, winning again. This left him with $50 1n front. “Let ’er go.” he whirred $80 more in the wheel his pocket. The dealersmiled, thinking that such a run of luck wouldn’t last, and sent the wheel around. Then there was $320 in front of culator on chance. “‘Ain’t you going rather high?" asked the proprictor. *Oh, be sporty now, be sporty,” re- plied the gambler, and the wheel turned in; 3640 was in the stock now. The gambler made a feint of deawing it down, but the proprictor sang out, “‘Bo sporty yourself, now. “Allright, let ‘er goy” she went, and $1,280 lay in front of the man who had anty-dollar gold piece as capital. Now, run her again,” said the lutter. von't got that much in the o drawer. ou got?” ive hundred dollars, ot 'er go for that,” and pocketing $1,750 the gambler made off, while the owner of the wheel shut up shop, Then he began to examine his wheel. The plug was discovered, and hitching two revolvers and a belt of cartridges around his waist he started after his $1,750 and gore. He roceived neither, as the gam. bler was sceking the salubrious climate advertised as indigenous to Seattle. X months later the two came to- gether; the wheel owner was on velvet aguin, but he quiul\e’ told the gambler of the narrow thread by which his life Lung if the latter had been caught. “Ah, don’| 3 you were done up, weren't yo “*Yes, and it cost mo $ wheel again.” 0 to fix the “Well, here’s your filty for the wheel.” Odd Namesin Virginia, Senator Eppa Huntons queer christ- inn name is less queer than some of the curious names to be heard and seen in his native state.
