STEUBESvILLE, December 5-For some
time past the gambling houses in our city
have been running to their fullest capacity
fearless Of The law. There are at least ten
places of this kind in the city, right in the
business portion of the town, especially on
Third and Market streets, where they are
running Sunday and every other dsy. Last
Wednesday night one IT these places on
upper Market street, run by former bust
ne:s man of this city, was pulled. They
captured eight or ten young men In the
act of dealing ont the cards and gathering
in the cards They each marched to the
Mayor's Office and paid fine of 81 and
costs, smeuniiug in eli 10 about $40. The
matter was kept quiet until the latter part
of the week, when it finally leaked out.
The pulling of this houGe had no effect on
the other houses as they are still going on
full blast. A Wholesale raid on these
places by the officers is looked for in q
short time.
A short time ego the City Council pass
ed an ordinance to the effect that persons
without occupation and who are in the
habit Of loatiDg around saloons and gsmb
ling houses in this city be sent TO the
