Camblers Having a Harvest in Indianapolis Gambling Districts
In Indianapolis on Monday night gambling ran in about six spots with big-money tables. The "little fellows" who run separate games were kept from starting new operations and urged to join the larger games run by Kissel Rahke and Owsley as lieutenants. Tobe Howe's E Market St room set high limits up to 4 and 5 dollars as crowds gathered. Indiana Ave outlets catered to colored players with lower limits, while Jack Shea's W Pearl St venue drew an unusually large crowd. Fred Heier’s S New Jersey St site remained quiet but is seen as favorable to profit, and Heier is said to be closely connected with the larger games, possibly close to city leadership.
