FROM THE DAILY OF THURSDAY
THE action of the authorities reported by
the Tribune will receive general commenda.
ton especially if it results in suppression of
the swindle now carried on under the color
of law. The Tribune, of July Sd, SAYS:
complaints having been filed against the
various rattle and lottery men in town, they
were today jndicially examined by Justice
Scott. Mr.. Jameson withdrew his rattle.
and was put under four hundred dollars
bonds to answer the offense at the next term
of the District Court. Mr.. Fares was bonded
in the sum of 5000, TO answer the charge of
keeping the Puget Sound Lottery, alleged to
be contrary to law. Mr. Whitman was alsv
examined, and put under bonds in the sum
of 800. AS they did not close up their lot
teries they have again been arrested, and will
again be bonded, and this will be done as
often, We understand, as is necessary to close
up the two places. Warrants were also got
out today against some of the clerks, and
they, too, will be prosecuted We are fur
ther informed that a petition is now being
signed, asking the county commissioners to
revoke their lottery licenses. A movement
is on foot to quelch them, prompted by those
having places and games with which these
came in successful competition. The pro.
ceeGings are being watched with eager inter-
est.
In his affliction Bishop Morris does not
forget to write generous letter, that justice
may be done the hcrOism of Michael Day,
who lost his life at the same time with II. r.
Morris. The Bishop writes hcwas not caught
in the pit, but went down, it appears, volun-
tarily, to rescue O'Neil from the peril he was
in, and as it proved to share the same instant
death. 1t seems that these men, while not
relatives, were old and intimate acquaintan>
ces, and much accustomed to work together,
and to befriend each other 10 many ways
O'Neil, the stronger and much the more
vigorous man, was the first to be caught in
peril, while the smaller and weaker prompt-
ly went to his rescue-vain as it was. This
was an heroic act, that in justice to this
mans memory should not be overlooked,
while we are giving the history OF this sad
occurrence. 1t was terrible disaster, but il
has called out such expressions of sympathy,
and such unnumbered acts of kindness toward
the living sufferers, as to fill their hearts vita
inexpressible thankfulness.
A LIBEL SuIT-In the Third District Court
yesterday, Carlos White began libel suit
against ]. L. Russell and L. NJ. McKerney,
partners in the business of printing patent
outside" for country newspapers White,
who is engaged in the same business, is the
party who assaulted James Carr, son OF Pro-
fessor Carr, in Sacramento last winter, and
created a sensation by deuouncing young
Carr as the destroyer of his domestic happi~
ness The libel suit has grown out OF that
affair. Russell & McKenny allege that While
to avoid paying alimony TO his wife, endeav-
,ored to barter real estate for their business,
and because they refused to be accessory to
the swindle, he denounced them in private
circular. In return Russell & Mckenney
sent private circular to their patrons, III
which White was described as lunatic, and
his character as business man invidiousy
reflected on. The circulation of the docu'
ment, White alleges. has injured his business
to the extent of $4,000, and he asks judg-
ment for that amount-S. +. Post. June 1914.
