CHINESE GAMBLERS
Captured by the Police Yesterday
Morning

During the past few weeks great
deal has been said about the Chinese
gambling games being allowed to run
unmolested. Such is not the case
however, for the officers have tried
over and over again to gain an en-
trance into the gambling haunts Of the
heather, but up to yesterday without
success.
Sergeant Loomis disguised Officers
Van Luven and Boland in true Chinese
costume, queue and all complete, and
these two, for the nonce Mongolians,
meandered round Chinatown all yes
terday morning without exciting sus-
picion. They finally walked into a
gambling house and separated at the
top of the stairs, one enter
ing one room and the other
the other, and found themselves
in the midst of an excited crowd
Of Cinnamon, each intent on the tan
game that was going on. The officers
for time watched the game in 81
lence, and then, drawing their revol-
vers ordered the game to stop and
seized the money that was strewn on
the table. The whole outfit of both
games was captured and twenty
seven gamblers were escorted to the
police station by Sergeant Loomis and
Officer Bosqui, who were on hand
shortly after the officers entered the
house. The dealers Of the game de-
posted 5000 each and the remainder
$50 each for their appearance before
Justice Austin at future date.

ABOUT OVER.
Such is the Case with the A. & r.
Strike.

Such is the Case with the A. T. r.
Strike.
From messages received in this city
yesterday it would seem that the
strike of the brakemen upon the At
lantic and Pacific was over. Early
yesterday morning Mr.. w. Dunn re.
ceived dispatch from Santa Ana,
which stated that the agent there had
received orders to receive perishable
freight for points on and beyond the
Atlantic and Pacific system. At q
late hour yesterday afternoon Mr..
Dunn received dispatch from Super
intendent A. M. Beal, of the A.
and P. at The Needles, which said
that the company was now in a con-
dition to receive and handle all
freight as formerly, and that perish
able goods would be taken without fear
of loss by delay. The dispatch did
not state how the matter had been
settled, and no idea of how the
trouble now stands could be gained
in the city. Mr.. Dunn says that the
company has not yet felt the effects
Of the strike, except in a very small
degree. There was not the slightest
sign of discomfort among the en-
ployes of the road here. The South
ern Pacific Company received several
car loads of oranges from the Santa
Fe Company yesterday before the
order to receive perishable freight
came in, and this was about all that
the company did for the santa Fe.

get it changed and take the next
car"
"Don't get off," said a red-mus-
tached young man in glasses, ''let me
lend you five cents"
"But you don't know me. No, I'll
get off; I haven't far to 60"

WHAT ARE ORNAMENTSs
A Decision of the Supreme Court
Defining Them.

Mrs. Elizabeth E. D. Taylor, recent.
ly deceased, left an estate valued al
about $155, 900. Among other be.
quests named in her will was the fol.
lowing: "To my niece, Louise E.
Matthews Of this city, l give $40, 900,
my piano, sewing machine, finger
rings (save the diamond ring which l
habitually wear) as she shall choose
to take" The Probate Court ordered
partial distribution of the estate,
including the personal property be-
queathed to Louise E. Matthews (now
Louise M. Overacher). Elizabeth H.
Liddall, heir-at-law, appealed from
the order on the ground that the per-
sonal property so distributed was not
intended by the testatrix to be be-
queathed to Louise. The question
turned upon the point whether the
Court below erred in holding that the
things distributed were ornaments
within the meaning of that word as
used in the will. These things con-
sisted of breastpins, bracelets, ear
rings, lacepins, sleeve-buttons, glove
buttons, brooches, lockets, chains, etc.,
made of jewels and gold, such as wo-
men usually wear for personal decora-
tion. SIN Webster's Dictionary -
says the Court, "an illustration is
given from Sir Thomas Browne, as
follows: Some think it most orna-
mental to wear their bracelets on
their wrists; others, about their
ankles; and the Jenkens of the pres
ent day, in his description of the
costumes of ladies at evening parties,
writes, ornaments, diamonds"
The Court concludes that the view
taken by the Judge of the Court be-
low is more satisfactory than the op-
posite view taken by the appellant,
and, therefore, affirmed the judgment
and order.
