Judge Charged With Gambling;.
- BAKER, Or Dec. 11. Sensational ac
cusations were made In the case brought
before the Circuit Court here yesterday
by George Czello, to recover money
claimed to have been lost in a saloon
and frambllnp: place in Cornucopia.
Czello says he lost $50 through
a crooked game, and sued Martin Czenl
vlch, the proprietor, to recover this
amount, the first hearing- being held
before Justice -of the Peace Clark, of
Homestead, in -which the Justice crave
Czenl vlch the verdict. Upon appeal to
the Circuit Court, the plaintiff testified
that Justice of the Peace Clark was
playing cards In the same place at the
time he lost his money, but this testi
mony was not admitted, though Czello
was given the verdict, reversing Judge
Clark.
