Ail Indian at Monte.

Tuscarora Mining Review. A couple of local sports engaged an Indian in a monte game. The g. me ran along very quietly, the Indian apparently not caring which way it went Pretty soon one of the locals turned up as a ‘lay out” a five spot and a seven. The Indian piled up $2.50 on i.he five, and the deal went on. The five won ; Indian let the $5 stand until the five won again, when he took down the winnings. The third five won; the Indian picked up his coin, having won $12.50 on the deal, and quit the game, remarking; “Whita man he dam smart-;” at the. same time throwing down the other three sevens which belonged to the deck.
