To THE EDITon OF THE HKRALD:- t.e1
For many years efforts have been made to revive

viz: Retailing malt liquors without pay
ment of special tax and dealing in manu-
factured tobacco without payment of spe-
eial tax.
He pleaded guilty to both charges. On
the first he was fined $100 and costs and on
the second $5 and costs.

charge of deposting indecent matter in the
mail, and was remanded for sentence.
Mr.. Newcomb the Government Agent
sent out to investigate the accounts of
Clerk Ambrose, is still engaged in making
his examinations. This morning Captain
Ambrose raised objection to the Enquirer
expert going through the books with Mr..
Newcomb.
The expert claimed that he had the same
right that any citizen had to examine the
books but Captain Ambrose begged to dtf-
fer with him, and Jay hawker' was
bounced from the office.
Shortly after "Jayhawer'' was asked b
retire. STAR reporter made his appearance
and questioned Mr.. Newcomb in regard to
how the investigation was proceeding. Mr..
Newconlb went on to describe to the STAR
man the modus operandi he pur-
sued in examining the books
While doing so. Captain Ambrose
entered the office and again raised his OBJ
| lection to any newspaper reporter examin-
ing the records. Mr.. Newcomb explained
to him that he was merely describing to
the reporter how he carried on his work
of investigation, and Mr.. Ambrose walked
off apparently satisfied.

A BROKEN HEART.
The Bruce-Gibson Breach of Promise Case,

The Bruce-Gibson Breach Of Promise Case
The famous case of Charlotte Bruce
against John B. Gibson Of the Gibson
House, was called up in the Superior Court
before Judge Harmon to-day.
The plaintiff, as is we'll known brought
suit to recover $50, 900 damages for a breach
of promise of marriage, and also asked
Judgment requiring Mr.. Gibson to restore
to her notes which he had given to her for
that amount, and which she alleges he after
wards fraudulently induced her to return
to him.
A motion that she should be required to
elect OH which of tire two causes of action
she would proceed was sustained.
The plaintiff then filed an amended petit
tinn, and motion is now made to strike it
from the files on the ground that it does
not conform TO the order of the Court.
Judge Harmon overruled the motion.

David Dixon and Mary Swinton were
to have been married at O'Clock in the
afternoon; at Embarrass, Wis. An hour
earlier, he and others were in her room,
where the finishing touches were being
put on her toilet. An old pistol lay on
her bureau. He supposed it unloaded,
playfully snapped it at her, and shot her
dead.
