tered from the Fifth and Alder street
entrances. Morden went at once to the
office while other deputies guarded the
doors, prohibiting those who were In

othera from entering. Solomon waa told
to consider himself under arreat for con
ducting a bopk-maklng establishment.
"If I'm under arrest that'a all there la

of hie place. He declared that the doors
opening from the saloon Into the room
where the game la said to have been
running could be closed by the officers.
I
but his business could not be Interfered
with.
"I call all of you to wltneas that I pro
test." he lnaiated. "When thla thing
comes Into the courts I want you all to
remember that I cautioned you against
closing a man's place of bualnees when
It could be avoided simply by closing a
pair of doors."
"Don't aay it," Interrupted Chief Dep

time to listen. Get your cash together
and get out, for we propose to close the

Meanwhile great crowds of curious
