Hot Springs Citizens Shut Down Global Gambling Barrage
Olin Wood reports that Hot Springs citizens formed the Citizens Improvement union to close forty gambling houses once described as the world’s most notorious. An executive Skidoo Committee warned owners to end gambling by Sept 29, 1906, threatening seizure of tables and devices and arrests. The drive, aided by new prosecutor William Scoggin, culminated in a citywide purge with chants, processions, and a vow to return the city to propriety and temperance.
