The NON-highlighted content of that newspaper clipping are quite compelling as well.
You've got:

1. A woman being shot (back when gambling was more male than female).
2. A substantial amount won ($3000), which was 1/2 the average annual income for that time.
3. A 38-caliber snub-nose revolver. (That reporter knows his firearms!)

That gambling environment was sure rough & tumble back then!
