A VER Y QUEEB DEAL. IN A FAMOUS GAME OF DRAW POKER IN OLD DAKOTA. The IJenlcr Gave Hi* Hivul Four Jack* and Himself Four ({ueons. When the Shotv Donn tame, the Jacks Had Turned to Ace*. In the northwest they still talk about the last poker gams that Major Ed wards and Stanley Huntley played to gether. They were pioneer editors of newspapers in Dakota in the old terri torial days. Huntley had just sold his paper in Bismarck for £2,500 cash and was coming east. He and the major had sat in many a quiet game together, and Huntley went over to the major’s office to say goodby and play one last game. The major produced the cards, locked the dcor, and the two faced a green ta ble. The maj r had the reputation cf be ing a skillful dealer, and Huntley’s previous experiences had taught him that cards sometimes appeared in the major's hand on a show down whose legitimate existence conld only be ac rounted for on the hypothesis that the age of miracles bad not passed. So be had fortified himself for this farewell game not only with the £2,500 which be had received for his newspaper prop erty. but also with four large but not overworked aces. There was no limit, but for an hour the game went along quietly enough. The major was out £JG0 or £400, but, as both players remarked, the game was “young yet. ” At last a jack pot for £50 came and remained. Back and forth aerr -s the table went the deck. Neither man could get openers. Each time the deal pn^ed the pot was sweetened £40. At latt there was £380 cn the table. The major dealt. Huntley looked over his cards and found four jacks. As lias been said, the major was a eli k dealt r, and when a big pool was at stak- and it was his deal he gener ally managed to give his opponent a good stiff hand, while taking care that he himself had one just a shade better. So, when Hnntk-y found the fonr jacks in his band it seemed to him that the time had come to precipitate his four aces into action The jacks were reti: d unostentatiously, and with a faint—a very faint—shade of disari pointment in his voice Huntley an nounced “I can't break it. ” The major was still examining his cards with that hesitating air that some people always believe means “studying cut a straight. ” Finally he said: “I'll have to break it for $500. It’s a big pot. ” Ir ntley k >ked mournful and said “I’ll stay. Gimme a card.” “None for me.” announced the major briskly. as be threw over a card and laid down the deck. “I’ll bet yot] $500. * “I’ll raise you $590,” said Hnntley “Five hundred more, ” said the major “When I sat down.” said Hnntley. “I had $0,500 in my pocket. I'll raise you the full amount of that on this one hand. If I lose, I’m broke.” The major took another lock at his hand and replied “I haven't got as much as that in cash I'll make out a bill of sale of the : building and plant, newspaper and all, and put that in the pot. If you win, j you can hold it till tomorrow, when I’ll settle. ” “Go ahead,” said Huntley. The major wrote out the bill of sale and threw the slip of paper into the pot on top of the big pile of greenbacks. Both men bad emptied their pockets. “Now I’ll call you,” said the major “Fours, “said Huntley, and he laid down bis four one spots. The major never flinched. He examined the aces, one after another. Then he laid down his hand and said briefly: “You win, Stanley. All I had was fonr queens. ” The next day the major redeemed his bill of sale and Huntley came to New York and began to write the “Spoopen dyke Papers, ” which were first publish ed in the Lrooklyn Eagle. He’s been dead for years now. About two years after the famous poker game Major Edwards was visit- | ing New York, and he looked up Hunt- j ley They dined together at the Astor House. After coffee and when the cigars had been lighted the major said: “Stanley, of course when gentlemen like juu and I play pck.er together there’s never any question about the game being straight. Ent there’s one thing that’s been puzzling me for two years, and I want to ask yon about it.’ “Go ahead, major,” said Huntley, puffing his cigar. “Stanley, why in thunder did yon refu>e to open that last jack pot when you had four jacks in your hand?” “Majt r, returned Huntley thought fully. laying down his cigar, “who dealt that last hand?” “1 did. Stanley,” said the major. “Well, then, major, since four aces won the pet, bow in thunder could it Lave been a straight game?” “That's so.” said the major re flectively “Let’s get a cab and go to tome theater. ’’—New York Press.
