weeks past and their funds becoming
limited the gambling privileges" were
leased by the Lane Brothers who have
heretofore confined themselves TO the
Mascot" This deal was unsatisfactory
to the gamblers of fading fortunes, who
wanted an opportunity to retrive their
losses, and on Tuesday McGougan made
complaint under state laws against others
engaged in similar line OF business and
the sheriff was ordered to close all gam

night unless it was in some close poker
games and even these will not be per-
mitted to live il Prosecuting Attorney

sure conviction. He says he will not
make fish OF one and flesh of another,
and If the county is to be put to costs
over gamblers quarrel the laws will be
