I got this email from Mark with more history on the Riverside Club.
I get quite a few emails on the Illegal Of The Day, posts. History marches on!

-Hi Gene,

Great to see your post about the Riverside in Casper. My Uncle Billy Weier and Benham bought that place from Hill in the early 40's. Billy sold out his share in late 1945 and headed for Nevada.

Earlier it was a major family scandal as my Great Aunt Margaret Engelbretson (l and e transposed, different from my last name) eloped with Billy. He came out of an Iowa orphanage and was running around doing crooked gaming and amatuer weekend fights in small towns. He came to Huron SD and was doing weekend fights and dealing at Dineen's, The Lido and Brown Derby and probably more. Then playing at alot of others. I can remember as a kid watching him run a deck of cards...pretty slick.

He loaded up Margaret and headed to Casper to get in on the action in the Sandbar District. Ended up winning enough to go in with Benham and buy the Riverside. Margaret said pretty much anything went there. Girls, gambling, great food, etc. When he sold out to Benham they headed towards Vegas and they got married in Elko enroute. He worked at the GN for years and sort of retired and had a used car place. He loved cars.

When Hughes came to town he went back to work in some form of management at the Slipper and Landmark. Last stop on the tour was in Harolds Club. In Kling's book, "A Family Affair", he is not remembered fondly.

Kenny Craig gave me the yellow chip you show. He also got me some other Casper chips that I could send scans of if you would like to see them.

Benham's are still a prominent family in Casper. Billy passed from Leukemia and Margaret lived her life out to the age of 96 in Vegas

I know ashtrays do nothing for you but I'm attaching a picture of one from Billys days there.

The Riverside was a Casper institution until late 1971 or early 1972 when it burnt to the ground and was not rebuilt.
