Arrested ana m.,a 70 Raj.

A few days ago two men named res-
pectively J. r. Steele and Lee Barker.
hailing from Helena, Arkansas, arrived
| In Cairo and opened out sort Of a gift
enterprise establishment In one OF the
shanf,es on Eighth street near Washing.
ton avenue. The moiw operondi of the
enterprise was this: A space OF about
three feet deep by ten feet long on one
side of the room was covered with fancy
photographs Of the ordinary size. Be-
hind the photographs was a slip OF white
paper and Oh say one in twenty of these
slips was marked either the figures one.
five or ten. The pictures were sold at
fifty cents each, the purchaser taking his
choice. IL on removing the picture
either OF the figures above named were
exposed the party buying the picture
was entitled to the amount designated
in money, whether one, five or ten dol
lars. OF course the pictures were WORTH
less. and no one would be fool enough
to pay fifty cents for one of them If there
was not chance of getting a money
prize with it. The party buying the pic
ture stood only one chance i'm about
twenty, and may be thirty, of getting
anything more than the picture. Sheriff
Saup believing the enterprise to be moth
ing more than gambling, game OF
chance, took out q warrant Tor the arrest
Of the proprietors OF the establishment,
and on Monday evening arrested them
while sitting at the stove in the office at
the Arlington House. They were held
during the night, and yesterday were
taken before Judge Bross for hearing.
d. L. Linegar appeared for the defend
ants, and County Attorney Mulkey for
the people. The trial occupied consider
able time, as there was large number
Of witnesses sworn on either side; and
when the evidence was all heard, Judge
Bross held the defendants TO
bail in the sum of two
hundred dollars each for their APP
pearance at the next term of the circuit
court to answer the charge OF gambling.
The parties will be able TO give bail as
soon as they can receive funds Trombone,
but in the meantime they will be held by
the sheriff. OF course the form OF "sell-
ing the pictures, and "giving away"
whatever money might be drawn, was
simply weak attempt to evade the law.
Sheriff Saup has the thanks OF all right
thinking men for his promptness in
npping this institution in the bnd.

On last Friday evening, while COM

sembled at Mr.. Mackie's, Oh Fifteenth

the front door. When the door was
opened there was no one in sight, but
the brick lay on the steps. Mr.. George
Fisher, who was one of the number at
Mr.. Mackie's, shortly after went home
where he asoertalned that some one had
been ringing the doorhsll, but when the
seryent went to the door no one was to
