Gambling Den Raided.

| The gambling resort run by Johr
Ennis at So Tower avenue was pulled
last Tuesdny evening. 1t seems the
raid had been brewing for some time
and Chief Luton got out the proper
warrants Tuesday afternoon and a.
about 10 O'Clock the patrol wagon was
sent down to the joint and the keepers
and seven prominent business mem
who were found bucking the tiger were
placed under arrest.
To say that the "seven respectable
citizens" engaged in the pleasing di.
version of bucking the tiger by means
of the various devices which were run.
ming full blast, were surprised, would
be putting things mildly. The situa-
alton was easily explained to them and
they were invited to transfer them
selves to tina city hall by means of the
patrol wagon which was in waiting.
Ennis attempted to lock few of the
rooms leading to some of the side is
sues. The chief ordered him to desist
and consider himself under arrest. and
the players with the three operators
were hustled down to the wagon, the
capacity of which was taxed to con-
tain them.
AT the city hall, Municipal Judge
Hutchins WAS waiting for them. They
were quickly arraigned respectively
on the charge of being intimates of
and of running gambling house. John
Ennis, c. II. Nose baugh and Fred Wall
were charged with being the keepers
and they gave bonds in the sum of $50
each for their appearace in court at 3
O'Clock Thursday afternoon to stand
trial. The others, John S. Johnson, H .
d. Kicker, J. II. Hugnar. Ed. McMul-
Ian, George Mckenzie, II. Tinker and
John Hunter were released on their
own reconizance and ordered to appear
in court on Friday.
This formality over, the chief and the
officers turned their attention to the
gambling house again. An officer had
been left there in charge and the wagon
went back. The valuable roulette
wheel was yanked from its resting
place in the table and taken to the
wagon. All the other movable furni-
ture was taken likewise and soon the
room presented dilapitated appear
ance.
Some of the articles could not be
moved by the means at hand and the
chief sent the wagon to the Eighteenth
street fire department for some axes,
wrenches and other means to take up
furniture. When an inventory was
taken of tie stuff and it was locked in
the women's cell at the city hall it was
found that the fraternity is out an ele-
CANT new roulette wheel, one table used
exclusively for the seductive game of
'craps" and another for the promotion
of poker. In addition to these heavy
pieces of furniture were innumerable
red, white and blue chips and smaller
articles. The outfit seized is said to be
newly imported one and is worth at
least 5000.
LATER-The case of John Ennis,
Chas. Mosebaugh and Fred Hall came
up in Municipal court Thursday after
noon, w. Z. Hoehle appearing for the
defendants and District Attorney Sloan
for the statet The state wanted an
adjournment to get witnesses and it was
agreed to adjourn the trial to Decem-
Der ,. On the advice of his attorney
Ennis refused to plead to the charge
and Judge Hutehins entered the plea
of not guilty for HIM.

School Board will Settle.

The school board held a meeting on
Monday at which time the proposition
of II. HI. Dietrich to pay SIS, 600 for the
claims of the city and of the board
against the bank Of South Superior, was
accepted. The proposition is the same
one which Mr.. Dietrich made to the
common council at it's last meeting
Mr.. Dietrich WAS presentand addressed
the board. He said that the offer was
the same one that had been made by
the stockholders last summer and &C.
cepted by the board and the council.
There WAS a legal obstacle in the way of
settling on the original lines, as it was
virtually settlement with the stock
holders of the bank. In case a settle
ment should be 80 made, an injunction
could be gotten out which would have
tied up the money and prevented off,
GERS from making out the assignment of
the claim. The proposition as it was
made had the approval of the city at
tornev.
Comptroller Ticknor was present and
the members of the board wanted to
know his position on the matter as he
had refused to approve the assignment
made out by the proper officers of the
board to DR.. Parker of the board
claims against the Superior National.
city charter provided that in any con-
veyance of property by the board of
education, the approval of the city
comptroller was necessary. This, he
said, was construed by lawyers to mean
real estate property and not personal
property. For this reason be had re-
fused to countersign the assignment of
the claim against the Superior National
to DR.. Parker After Mr. Ticknor had
been heard the discussion was taken up
by the members of the board. MIR.
Chandler wanted the settlement post
poned until the committee having in
charge the investigation of the officers
Of suspended banks, should have re-
ported. He said as the bank had not
kept its original agreement to settle
with the board, it was only right that
the settlement should be deferred un-
til the committee on criminal prosecu-
ton had made its report.
The other commissioners, however,
were of the opinion that it was best to
make the settlement first and after
wards start the criminal prosecution.
The vote being taken on accepting
the offer of Mr.. Dietrich, it resulted 7
yeas to l nay. Mr.. Chandler was the
only one to vote against the settle
ment.

Newspaper Men Feasted.

Leader.
In response to the very neat invita-
tons issued by the Duluth, South Shore
& Atlantic railway, goodly number of
the newspaper fraternity of both sides
of the bay attended the banquet given
by the general agents of the road,
Messrs. 7. H. Larke and George n
Foresman, in their beautiful buffet din
ing car at Duluth Monday evening
After thorough inspection of the car,
finished in mahogany and arranged
with every possible claim to conven-
fence and comfort, the party we're
seated at small tables and, discussed
most happily for two hours the viands
prepared by f P. Monteith, who pre-
sides with dignity over this department.
The splendid equipment of this car
marks new era in railroad travel, for
here, while flying along the track, can
be obtained, besides the substantials,
all the luxuries of the season as per-
fectly served as at any first class hotel.
The idea of keeping the cafe open all
day is a new one, and Mr.. Monteith
saws that one can procure anything
during his journey, from ham sand
wich to a canvass back duck, and
served, too, in the neatest and most
appetizing style.
The guests were loath to leave when
the time for departure arrived, and
many were the compliments given
Messrs Foresman and Larke and the
South Shore for their elegant and hos
pitable entertainment.
About half of the party afterward at
tended a box party at the Lyceum as
the guests of Charles A. Foss of the
Telegram.

TIME.

The season for deer hunting in this
state closed Thursday and any person
found killing deer or having the same
in their possession is subject to a fine.
The law makes certain allowances for
meat markets which have venison on
hand, by giving them three days in
which to dispose of their meat There
is no law to prevent restaurants
from disposing of any yenison on hand
after the expiration of the three days,
providing it be served under assumed
names.
This has been very prosperous hunt
ing season with the sportsmen of north
ern Wisconsin and Minnesota. The
local markets here have not been
stocked with venison to such an extent
as in past seasons, most of it having
been shipped to cities in the southern
part of the state.
1t was thought earlier in the season
that deer would not be plentiful around
the head Of the lakes as in former years,
but this is not the case. Experienced
hunters and woodsmen state that they
have not been SO plentiful for years.
Another noticeable feature in connec-
ton with this years hunting season, is
that fewer accidents to hunters have oc-
Cured than for many years. A year ago
there were several fatal accidents while
this year there has been but one acct
dent in Douglas county and that did
not prove fatal This it is said, is due
to the extra care exercised by the
game wardens in preventing the use of
bulls-eye lanterns in hunting deer at
night. More people from outside the
state have taken advantage of the en-
joyable sport of hunting deer in the
northern forests than in previous sea
sons, and fewer arrests for breaking the
game laws were made this season than
in preceding seasons.
