The Wild West.

A man who would whipsaw an ace and attempt to call the turn by putting (as we have often seen him) $4, liis week’s salary on a card that was dead as Thompson’s colt, is hardly a person to discuss this question intelligently.— Stockton Herald. A man who would let his money (borrowed from ns) lay on the jack until said jack had passed to the silent majority, and a drunken wreck guerrilla appropriated the swag, while the player, with his eyes on another man’s bet, kindly supposes he was coppering the queen, enters this important argument considerably handicapped.—Stockton Mail.
