SUCCESSFUL WARFARE.
Washburn Making It Warm for
the Gambling Frater-
nifty.
One of hroDonald's "Braco'' Houses
Pulled..Tho Inmates Locked Up
Like Other Prisoners.

Why don't tho ghmblornt especially the notori-
ous Michael Mcdonald, "run Washburn out OF
town7" Their three months' grace is drawing to
a cloBe: They have every reason Id tho world to
wish to run Waahbnrn out Of town. The Chief,
In person, captured seven thieves ht ono pull;
and the rest Of tho roguos became uneasy. And
now that tho Chief has caused. tho war on the
gamblers to bc vigorously renewed, they foel un-
oRsy also. Lot it bo underatood that Mr. Wash-
burn has receiyod from tho now Board tho most
emphatic orders to e1terminato gambling, and
TINT hc has issued thoso ordors to tic
Captains, holding thcm entirely rospou-
@ sousos m thoir distrisss. ss' o9derse easoS Wofc
glvon at tho First Precinct Station on Wodnoa-
day oyening to pull tho house Of the notorioua
Mike Mcdonald tho generous donor Of fabu-
lous sumo to the families Of lis victims: sor-
gohnt Lull headed the squad, and pulled tho es-
tablshment No. AT State street, where no cap
tured Frank Roberte, james Barry, Pascal Pol
lock, Dick. Applebu1y Marcus Wilson, John
Taylor, and Charles Smith, These narnos aro
not reliable, hqt such ~ wore given By tho cap
after tho pulling Of q gambllng-houao, to sond
q carriage (at tho expense Of the gamblors) to
tho residence Of Police Justice. The latter,
anxious to secure tho fees provided on ovory
bail bond, would always hasten to tho spot, And
the prisoners would be released on bai. This
privilege was never extended to the hapless
prostitutes, but tho gamblers, being source Of
revenue to certain police officials, were treated
with marked distinction. On Thursday night,
however, q change came DER the spirit Of their
droam Of Freedom. There WAS no Justice eent
for; no champagne supper in the Office, no sign
ing Of bail bonds, and no ro-opening Of the
house m honr later. The gamblers were locked
up In coils like other prisoners, and impressed
With wholesome experience Of the unpleasant
ness Of being arroBted. .Thoy Cursed md swore
with becoming vigort but this failed to, assist
their deliveranco. Yesterday morning tho batch
was brought before Justice Banyon. Sergeant.

when the arrest was made, and explained

cards could be dealt ct timo, "the samo with
intent to Deceive" For "sport" whose
protastationc OF undinohing honor have boon
made as no1sily as MoDonalds, tins WAS not d
worry gratifying announcements. It merely won't
in the intorosts OF tho faro- banks in q manner
calculated to relievo the pockets Of tho long
cared patrons Of tho game. Mr. Banyon, for
some occult reason, which the prisoners could
perhaps explain, fined the proprietor $50 and
eouraging 70 the police, now that the effort is
being made in enrneBt to drive tho fraternity to
Missouri, But Why is Washburn not "run out
Of town."
"o1vh RIGHTS" ACCORDED.

inmates arrosted Justice DAnyon, as usual,
waa accessible, and being brought to his judicn1
seat IN tho Station, received their bail. William
Weekley, gentleman of color, awore that he

sign . $400 bail bond for the whole party It Is
exceedingly unfortunate that Mr. Justice Ban
yon is 80 accessible when gamblers arc arrested.
