CASTORIA for Infants and Children, Sia Kind You Have Always Boogt MAYBE FOR TWO WEEKS" HEARING IN JUSTICE COURT YESTERDAY. The three players who were arrest ed in Frank Grussi's cigar store Wed nesday evening on a charge of gam bling, were bound over to the grand jury by Justice Goodman at the con clusion of their hearing yesterday af-1 . - M.. ' ... . . I lernuon. incy were ,iax strai, a. Anderson and L M. Carlson, all well known citizens, reputable and wiih many friends who are disposed to look upon the whole matter as a sort df a joke. The matter is a joke although it may appear a little too bad that sev eral reputable citizens have to bear the laugh and" the brunt of it The evidence yesterday showed that the men were playing cards. They were playing for cigars. Such was the evidence. It was clear, conclusive and not contradicted. No effort was made to show that there was any gambling in the accepted sense f that term. It was a friendly little game of cards to while away an hour or two. The money on the table, all the evidence showed, was change that had been returned either when the players paid for cigars, or, when one of the three had bought a bar of chocolate. The court room was cleared of spectators before the opening of the hearing at the request of the assist ant prosecuting attorney, Mr, Browncll. The first witness, who was put on by the prosecution, was Jay ,McManamna, who was reading a pa per in the cigar store when the deputy sheriff entered and nude the arrest. While this youn man was apparently none too anxious to help out in the prosecution, nevertheless he apparently made an intelligent and fair witness. He saw money on the table twice. As far as he knew the game was just a friendly one for ci gars. He paid little or no attention to the playing, as he was reading. Chips were used, etc.. etc The other testimony was all along the same line. At the conclusion of the hearing Justice Goodman intimated that the case was a very trivial one, and that there seemed little reason for holding the men, but that inasmuch as even playing for cigars might be consid ered gambling, he deemed it his duty to hold the men to the grand jury, which could dismiss the case if it thought best. Attorney Curtis appeared for the defense. It was also brought out, irt response to an inquiry made by Mr. Curtis, that it is the intention of the prosecuting attorney's office and the sheriffs office to wage a crusade against all forms of gambling that the lotteries and gambling plac-s must be closed up. ' This is stiff news "important, if trite." As the matter now stands three reputable citizens who are above all other things not gamblers are held fHtHIHHMHMHW w omen - - - . , - , . . i ' "" "' "" 25 WE WOULD especially call the attention of the trade to the well known fact that our line of Ladies' Suits comprises only the newest and most up-to-date styles and materials that are to be secured from the best factories of the east, and that we have no back numbers or hard stock to unload on our trade.

Meantime, the lotteries and the graft that the Astorian has discussed in relation to the lotteries during the past few weeks and the real gam bling places, are all undisturbed. No gamblers .have been taken in. No lotteries have been closed up Noth ing has been done.

On Wednesday after noon there were big rounce game, too, at the very hour that the Grui ,'. . M . ....... 1 . . . - deputy. Why is it that the big games, the real gambling, has all been left undisturbed, and little innocent game for cigars were taken in? The As torian can answer the question con cisely and riht to the point. It may tell the reason in drtail in the next few days. Almost anybody can guest ! the reason, for that matter. I have told them something For the first time the lotteries were closed t)'down last night For several days previous to that the Chinks were no permitting tickets to go out of their places-one way . of keeping "evi dence" away from any place where it should not go "Close urn down msybe couple of and at weeks," said the Chines last night. The attention of the sheriffs office may be called to the fact that tome of the "kids" will soon be playing marbles and some of 'em play for "keeps. It might be wise to get sonn of the children before the grand jurv, loo. That may aUo help to stop the really pernicious gambling, which his run wide open for a favored few all winter.

And besides, as one man remarked last night, "when next the sheriffs office goes out to make arrests, it might be a good idea to use a shark nel instead of a minnow net."
