Pitched Battle Between Gamblers and
 Officers.

Pitched Battle Between Gamblers and
 CHICAGO, September 1S.-A pitched battle between Pinkerton men and the attaches of Harry Varnell's gambling house at Madison and Clark streets, was fought this afternoon during a raid on the place. Varnell's is one of the largest gambling houses in the city and was well filled when a score of detectives headed by Mat Pinkerton entered the place. The occupants of the house armed themselves with cha IFS and other weapons and charged the intruders. Drawing their clubs the officers resisted the attack and for fifteen minutes the air was full of chairs, clubs and profanity. Many of the com batants were knocked down and badly pounded, but none were da n rerously hurt An immensecro wd of people gathered, attracted by the row. The detectives finally conquered, making numerous arrests and the Var nell peopld retaliated by cuasing the arrest of Mat Pinkerton. Varnell is ex-warden of the county poor house and has served a term in the peni- tentiary for .boodling'
