HELENA, M. T., Feb. 28.—Gov. Leslie today attached his signature to the Hunt gambling bill, which in effect forbids the licensing of any games of chance other than faro and round table poker. It is designed to stop what are commonly known as 'sure thing games,' such as brace faro, percentage studhorse poker, keno, chuck-luck, and the ninety and nine devices whereby players are fleeced without a chance for their money. All gambling houses in this territory are obliged to display over their doors the sign, printed in large plain letters, 'Licensed Gambling House.'
