quick passage across the Pacific ol

for Chicago. She went on up stream

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

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.
We propose to make this the best opportunity ever before presented to .the ladies of this
vicinity, and one that you can not under auy circumstance afford to let pass.

for the cigars, to while away the
tedium of an idle hour.
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.
The only thing that the Astorian
not like.about the present ac
tivity thought it has long called for
some activity is that the -gambling
and the real gamblers have been Kt i Yesterday the Chinese became scar

it may appear, however, the lotteries
and the big gambling games kept
right on playing until Wednesday
night. On that night the lotteries all

Chinks were scared and careful for
the first time. On Wednesday after
noon there were big rounce game,

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.
Ai there were alo some several
hundred other games in town last
night or the ctgars-m tn ahm c

.Club, the Irving v-uid, tne tnuun
(he ciagrs stres, etc.. etc., it might auo
be fair to arrct twenty or thirty of
them as an evidence of impartiality.
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."
