BAT MASTERSON'S TALES OF BOB MURRAY
Bra-aa Gambling; In a Charch and Hit
Every Game on the Pike llow
Marray Boomed Schlat
ter the Healer.
Bat Masterson sat In front of a table at
an uptown hotel In New York and, between
sips of mineral water, told stories about
Bob Murray, once a famous gambler, who
died at Kokomo, Ind.', recently. According
to Masterson Murray won and lost more
money during his thirty years at handling
playing cards than any other gambler.
'He was dead square," said the former
marshal of Dodge City. "He would bet on
the length of a calf rope, the weight of a
deed mans boots, how long It would rain,
and all such things. The gambling spirit
was born In him.
He told me that when a kid at Kokomo
he was the farthest advanced boy in his
Sunday kchool; that he won money on the
length of sermons, how many converts
there would be In a week or month. He
became so notorious that he was expelled
from church and the country school. Then,
with the proceeds of the sale of a set of
fishing tackle and a shotgun, he bought
ticket to the Black Hills.
'Tljere he drifted one day Into a faro
bank run by "Red" Hart, formerly a dealer
at El Paso. Hart was dealing at the time.
It was Murray's first whirl at the game.
He knew no system.
He coppered the are and at the same time
put a bet behind the deuco to win. He
placed bets on the corner of the 9 taking In
the 5, 9 and 4, while having the 10-spot cop
pered. He whlpsawed nearly every turn,
and, after four nights' playing Hart refused
him more chips.
"How much he won I haven't any idea.
But he terrorized successful dealers like
Lucky Sam Wllkerson and 'Baldy Moffett.
During all this time he was as calm as a
day In June. Occasionally he would light
a cigar and smoke It. But never was he
ever seen unshaved, or with his collar soiled
or his boots unshlned. He was the Beau
Brummel of the Kills. . -
Oa Hla Own Hook.
"First thing we all know he had a
gambling house of his own at Cheyenne-
one with red carpets thicker than the sub
soil of a KanBas wheat field, looking
glasses, sideboards, oil portraits and downy
lounges. And he got the business and he
made friends. Shucks! he wasn't there alx
months before he could have been elected
mayor or anything else within the gift of
the people of Cheyenne.
"I am not In a position to say with ac
curacy how many dollars Murray had when
he joined In with Charley Pierce at Denver
fifteen years ago, but I'll venture a guess
at a figure looking like 11,000,000, which waa
In cash. The house in Denver was known
as Murray ft Pierce's and undoubtedly
there never was such a gambling estab
lishment since the time gold was discov
ered in the Sacramento valley In '49. Thera
were crap games, faro, stud poker, chuck.
a-luck, keno, roulette, sevenup, fan-tan
and any other sort of a game a white man
ever had any knowledge of.
"Murray made more coin than the Union
Pacific railroad. He bought horses, car
riages, good clothes, diamonds, stocks In
wildcat mining companies, gave to ohurchei
and, generally, spent his stuff as If he were
handling stage money." '
"Yes, said Jack Devlne, former pro.
prletor of the biggest saloon west of the
Missouri river, "and he wouldn't let the
little miners wager all they had,
"One tlfhe I saw a fellow come in and
buy a stack of whites, which In those days
cost 810. Tn a minute they had been wiped
off the board. As the player started way
Bob called him back and handed him back
his money. Then he turned to the dealers
ana told them that they never should
accept a bet from him In future. It seems
that this player had been going to Murray's
place every Saturday night for months
and losing his salary never- winning
single time.
Won and Lost.
"A month later I was In the house when
the same fellow walks In, and, there being
a new man behind the box, he succeeded
In negotiating a V for a half stack of
whites. Murray was out at dinner. Pres
ently Murray returned.
"He walked over to the table and In a
second saw what was taking place. There
was Smith, whom he had barred, having
all the checks, the blues, reds, yellows and
green in front of him. Murray alsed up
affairs and good-naturedly walked away
with the remark that he wouldn't Interfere
as long as Smith was winning.
"But about o'clock In the morning he
nan a different tune to whistle. Smith had
835.600 coming to him. and. while Murray
was in another part of the house. Pierce,
nis partner, shut Smith off. Just about
the time the money waa being counted out
to the winner Murray showed up. He
stopped the proceedings, saying to Smith
that he could have 8500 that time and no
more; that the moment he would appear,
sober, and with a friend that was known
to the house, the balance of the money
would be paid to him.
"One, two, three, four, five days elapsed
without his appearance. Then Murray re
ported the case to the police. In a few
hours Smith was discovered by a detective,
taken to a bathroom, sweated and scrubbed
until he was" sober. Then he presented
himself to Murray, who counted him $35 000
In big blllr.
"As Smith started to leave the place he
remarked that If Murray would give him
a deal with the yellow chfps at 8100 a piece
there would be something doing. He was
on tn minute. In less than an hour he
was all In. Murray handed him a century
note and told him never to let him see his
face again In a gambling house."
Booatlna- the Healer.
"While I don't take much stock In Chris
tian science and truck like that," resumed
Masterson, "I must say that Francis
Schlatter, who for years posed as the only
divine healer this side of Jericho, had a lot
to do with prolonging poor Bob's life.
"Along in the Bprlng months of 1898 Mur
ray found himself without funds and with
eyesight . gone. Meantime his partner,
Pierce, was dead. But Pierce had the fore
s'ght to Invest some of his winnings In real
estate. Pierce's widow succeeded to the
property, and when Murray began fading
physically and financially Mrs. Pierce In
duced htm to go to her home, where he re
mained for weeks.
"Mrs. Pierce read the newspapers for
him. Schlatter then was holding meetings
around Albuquerque, and to Albuquerque
Murray went. When he reached the New
Mexican town it was thronged with the
lame, halt and blind. A number of tramps
were in line for no other purpose than to
sell their positions to those with money,
"To one of these Murray gave 820. After
his first treatment he declared that he waa
well; that he could se) as well aa ever be
fore. And for awhile he could sea see dis
tinctly enough to read the finest print.
When Murray returned to Denver the
newspapers marvelled at his cure, and In
doing so made Schlatter famous.
"While the alleged healer waa beliur ar
rested In Illinois a few weeks later. Mar
ray waa growLoc weaker aod Lauder. At
last he got so he could not tell night from
day.
"To my mind he was one of the greatest
gamblers the world has ever known."

rialn Pie Crust Measure one quart cf
sifted flour and sift again with one tea-
spoonful of salt, reserving a little of the
flour for the board. Then with a flexible
knife cut In through the flour a cup of
chilled butter. Add a cup of Ice cold
water, a little at a time, mixing It lightly
with the knife; as soon as it will hold to
gether turn It out on the floured board and
roll out lightly, fold It In at the sides and
the ends and turn It around on the board
and roll out and fold again. Put It In the
Ice box for an hour at least before using
and keep It covered, so that It will not
dry on the outside; this will keep for sev
eral days and Improve with age. If you
wish to have the top crust richer than
the given quantity of shortening will make
It, take part of the paste after It has
been rolled the first time, put bits of
washed butter over the top, dust the flour,
fold over and roll It out several times,
then chill on Ice.
Suet Paste This Is an excellent paste
for meat pies, baked or boiled, dumplings
or fruit puddings. All the ingredients must
be very cold when mixing. Put a ieaspoon-
ful of baking powder and a teaspoonful of
salt Into: two and a Iialf cups of
sifted flour and sift again; add a cup of
best beef suet chopped very fine, freed from
all skin nnd dredged with flour; then
mix to a smooth, soft dough with a cupful
of Ice water and roll out. When trimming
the edge of the pie paste after cover
ing the tins, allow for the shrinkage In
baking. Do not touch the edge of the puff
paste dough of pies or patties with the
fingers, as it will prevent that part from
rising as light as the rest. Tho bowl for
washing butter must be washed in hot
soap suds, then rinsed In cold water to
prevent the butter from sticking to either
In making puff paste. All pie paste should
be made quickly, lightly and deftly, In
order to have It light. The tenderness
depends on the flour, amount of shortening,
also handling, and soggy paste Is due to
bad management of fires or poor oven.
Plain Cheap Pie Crust 81ft one pint of
pastry flour with one-half a teaspoonful of
salt and one-half teaspoonful of baking
powder. Into this mixture put two heap
ing tablespoon fuls of butter and lard mixed,
and mix with one-half cupful of Ice cold
water. Roll out on board and turn In the
efids and sides, fold, place on the board
with folds at sides, and roll once or twice
more, or until smooth.

Mlsa Olive May Stauffer of Allegheny, Pa.,
was a bridesmaid twice on the 19th Inst.
She was maid for her mother, who married
Frank Etters. and later acted as the maid
for Mica Llllle May Qlhson, who married
her brother, James Stauffer.
Mr. and Mrs. George Ooesllng of No. 2343
Eugenia street, St. Louis, celebrated their
thirty-fifth wedding anniversary and the
sixty-third birthday of each Saturday night.
The occasion was the more unique because
the couple are the same nge to the day, and
they were married on their birthday.
"He whipped me because I would not wash
his feet" is one of the allegations made by
Mrs. Agnes Calne of Cincinnati In her an
swer nnd cross petition to the divorce of
Michael Calne. She asks for divorce and
alimony and an Injunction preventing him
drawing his salary till the case Is deter
mined. Twenty-eight per cent of the marriages In
Polk county. Iowa, are shown by the di
vorce records to be failures. list year 1,240
marriage licenses were Issued in this county
and 345 divorces were granted. Officers of
the courts say that the laFt year's record is
only an average. The Judges recently issued

tural weekly in the country, typical in every feature of the push
and enterprise of the western farmer. It will appeal to every

'rural pursuits with special emphasis on the great, stock raising
industry. None of the other departments of agriculture, how
ever, are neglected and the whole tone of the paper is directed
toward broadening and uplifting life and work on the farm. The
big state fairs are now coming on. The Twentieth Century Farmer
will be represented at each of them by a competent staff and will
review in successive issues the progress reflected in the exhibits.

sample copies', and advertising rates. No one interested in west
ern agriculture can afford to go without reading The Twentieth
Century Farmer from week to week and no one who wants to
