For the benefit of those so g realty con-
cerned about Col. Bobleter's connec-
ton with the gamblers at Camp Hub
bard we would say that upon his re-
turn he will be willing and able to sat-
isfy all, Meanwhile let following
words of explanation from the WinOna
Daily Republican suffice:
ut is deemed by some of the office
ers of the Second regiment, that in
justice to Col. Bobleter, the statement
should be made that the contract CIV
ing the gamblers permission to run
their games on the encampment
ground was made and signea by To-
cal committee Of the military who had
exclusive control Of the encampment
ground, before Col. Bobleter's arrival,
but on being appraised of the matter
the Colonel insited that any money re-
ceived should be turned over to the
regimental treasury and it was accord
ingly done. The Colonel moreover in
forms the Republican that he distinct
ly told the operators of the games
that they must assume the risk of be-
ing suppressed by the city authorities.
The gamblers consented to this, and
said that the matter was arranged
with the city authorities, who had
agreed to protect anything licensed
within the encampment. AS to the
statement of Marshall Miller that he
had offered to suppress the gambling
provided the $3.50 was refunded, Col.
Bobleter says that he refused to re.
fund the money because the gamblers
had been running nearly day, and
because it was distinctly understood
they were to take the chances of being
arrested by the city authorities. Col.
Bobleter adds that the grounds were
at all times subject to the city and
State laws

Roth and Anton Rathman were in
jaila few days lastweek forassault and
battery committed on a peaceful
citizen named John Bar near noon
on Monday of last week. The only
proyocation seems to be that John
Bar had reprimanded them the prevl-

with pistols. They were released up.
on payment of Il fine of fifty dollars
and costs.
Two penniless young men made the
rounds in the saloons last week show
ing tricks for drinks and lunch. One
of them applied at the REVIEW Office
for work. The morning after the
burglaries it was believed that these
men were here to draw attention
from the prepetrati on on themselves
and thus facilitate the work. At any
rate it became uncomfortable for them
here. Constable Gales used argument
that made them leave for greener pas
lures.

A disgraceful row occurred at a pic

on Sunday afternoon. The row COM
menced among Winona boys, some few
of whom belonged to the Guards. and a
larger number who did not. Pistols,
brass knuckles, clubs and fists were all
used during the melee. Word came
over to Camp Hubbard that some Of

Thursday night, special policeman
Nun drove about forty COWS to the
pond yard at the Union Hotel. Next
morning the people interested came
around, "paid their money and took
their CHOICE" The raid was the
more successful as it was unexpected.
Previous years the ordinance relating
to the running at large Of cows,
seemed be suspended for nine months
and then notice would be given in the
papers that the ordinance would be
enforced. This year no such warning
was given and the people were taken
by surprise. 1t would be more just to
have the law enforced at all times.

''Why. Miss Greeley, what are you doing
III this dirty hole ?' said Coroner Hyatt
this morning as he entered the low shop Of
Daniel Lee, in the woods ON the border of
the village of Chapaqua. Miss Gabrielle
Greeley, the only surviving daughter OF
the late Horace Greeley, was bending over
the corpse OF the small boy whose strange
death the Coroner had come to inquire

smile as she raised her head from the
body. ''This little boy is my especial

in rude pine box. 1t was the only coffin
that the shittless parents could procure.
The sunkeneye the bruised and discolored
forehead, and the look Of agony on the face,

which claimed her attention was that of
Frederick Lee, the 4-ycar old son of David
and Emily Lee. who occupied the shanty
with their four children At the Coroner's
inquest the father could not be found but
the mother, who was just recovering from
the effects Of a protracted spree, testified
that she and her husband bought can of
alcohol and had been drinking heavily
since Saturday. A little 10-year old
daughter then testified that her brother
Freddy had found the can containing
alcohol and drank a great deal of it. Il

more. Mamma and ! put him to bed
after it got dark, and he slept all day Mon

Mr.. EDITOR A person of redundant
self-conceit and egotism in this community,
who processes great deal for temperance,
has said that the Prohibition vote in Piles
grove Township would do no good even If
it was large, on account of certain persons
in the movement whom he chooses to call
leaders. 1t is our duty to say that this
person is known to have no sympathy with
the Prohibition party, and that the gentle
men to whom he especially refers, though
they may not, as a specially, believe III fall
ing from grace, F" and then live up to that
belief, do believe i'll good rorks and in
doing them. And that they regard ecery
man who voted the Prohibition ticket last
Tuesday in face of the bitter opposition he
met, a hero and a leader.

A telegram from Washington says:
''Belva A. Lockwood, the candidate of
the National Equal Rights party, said, in
an interview on Tuesday, that she was sat

lecturing receipts"
The customs and inland revenue receipts
for October at Montreal show falling off
of 1929, 900 compared with the same month
of 1888. The shrinkage is variously attri-
buted to depression of trade, and to the
Scott Temperance Act, i'll reducing the
business in spirits and beer.

Increase of Crime.

A few years ago murder was such a rare
occurrence that when one was committed it
was thought of such importance and inter

its pages the blood curdling creations OF his
genius. That time has low gone by. We

Drunken Man Causes the Death of
Sixteen Persons.


A serious panic occurred on Saturday
night at the Star Theatre, i'll Glasgow
caused by cry of fire being raised. Dur
ing the rush by the audience to escape
from the building sixteen people were kill
ed and twelve were seriously injured. The
performance had proceeded without any
interruption until few minutes after nine
o'clock, when some person shouted Fire!
The whole audience instantly rose to their
feet and made a rush to the doors. The
great mass of people who occupied the pit
in escaping therefrom, met the crowd that
was descending the stairways from the
gallery, and a fearful block ensued.
Loud cries of distress and shouts for
help arose from the mass of frightened
panic-stricken and struggling humanity.
The crowd was adjured by the officers of
the theatre and by the police to hold back,
but the warnings and appeals were un-
needed The crazed crowd frantically
rushed toward the outlets, trampling and
jumping ever each other until they reached
the street. When the theatre was finally
cleared sixteen corpscs was found on the
stairs leading from the gallery, and twelve
persons were so badly injured that they
only gave evidence that life was not ex-
tinct by their piteous meanings.
Upon the first alarm being rllng through
the city the whole fire brigade quickly
went to the rescue, and, with the police,
did their utmost to allay the panic and res
cue the crushed victims, but they We're
too late to be of much effective service
The police force, aided by volunteers,
rushed into the building and endeavored to
keep the entry clear by aiding all they
could to escape to the street, but the
crowd was so large that they were sadly i'll
terfered with in their humane labors. The
city ambulance corps conveyed the vic
tins, the wounded SO mixed with the dead
that it was only possible to separate them
after their arrival at the intirmary. 1t was
subsequently learned that the author of
theatre who had been dismissed. The
audience numbered about 2000 people.
The performance of the evening consisted
chiefly of music hall business.
Another account says that the man
whose cry of fire caused panic in the
Star Theatre last evening has been arrest
ed He was drunk when he raised the
false alarm. Persons who were in the
theatre at the time describe the scene on
the stairway as terrible. The steps were
strewn with ribbons, hats, sacks and
shawls. The victims were suifocated or
trampled to death. The panic lasted fif-
teen minutes. 1t is a noteworthy fact that
the authorities had disapproved the means
of exit and it was contemplated to con-
struct an additional exit from the gallery
The scenes witnessed when the relatives
identified the dead were most affecting.
Among the victims were eight females
