It la saiil. that those who contrived the plot had hoped to install their armed force from the north end. It had been carefully planned In every detail, even to the cutting of th telephone wires from the building. It wss thought that at leaat half an hour and perhaps a longer time would elapse before the news of th downfall of the place reached the herlff's office, and at least another SO minute or more would be necessary to decide on what course to pursue and (o gather th sheriff's forces for th attack.

Ha wa on th aaet id when he heard of the trouble. Haatenlng over to the club he found Coroner Flnley In charge. He asked for Under Sheriff Morden.

Onoe Inside he turned on F-lnley and Informed him that he, th sheriff's officer, was la charge of th place and would stay In charge. Previous to that time, however, Pete Grant had succeeded In gaining entrance Into the second story through a eliding window In th roof. H declares thai he found ths door to his private office and other doors unlocked and proceeded to lock them. Then he placed a youth named William Gorman In his ofllce. Gorman la aald to bear marka which show he waa In a fight, but Grant Is un scathed. Will right Gamblers to the Mad. Grant declare that there ware valu able paper and jewelry In hi office, and! that he left the young man there to guard them. Officers, on ths other hand, assert that Grant was attempting to conceal or bear away a faro layout that waa In th place and which would have furnished damaging evidence against the proprietors of the club. Gorman was arrested on th charge of burglary, and taken before Judge George, who held special session of his court. He was released In the sum of $500. which was provided by Jack Grant and Larry Sullivan, who accompanied him. "The gamblers ara almply trying to cause all kinds of trouble for the sher iff's forces," aald Judge McGinn, "In the hope that they will And It too an noying to continue their fight against gambling. However, they will find themselves mistaken, for the offlcera will continue In spite of any obstacles the gamblers may place in their way. They held the Portland club simply In obedience to their duty In carrying out th law. "I shall advise them to submit and consider themselves under a technical arrest If he other warrants are served. We won't make much of an effort In the Justice's court, but the caaea will be carried as soon u possible to a higher court, where they will be fought to the end."
