TO REPLEvIN LOTTERY TICKETS.
After Being Taken from Royal HIM.
mer He Attempts to Regain Them.

Superintendent Colbert has been securing
evidence against Royal Hammer, said to be
an agent of two or three lottery companies.
and yesterday sent word that he wanted to
see him. Hammer went to his office and
was informed that he was under arrest.
1T is our intention" said the superin-
tendent, ito stop you from selling lottery
tickets. If one arrest is not sufficient, you
will be arrested the second time, and if you
do not stop then We will continue until you
do" Hammer told the superintendent he
did not consider his arrest legal, there
was no warrant issued. He was searched,
and the police say about hatful OF lottery
tickets on the Honduras, Santo Domingo
and other lotteries were found upon his per-
son.
Hammer went to his attorneys and laid
the case before them. They advised him
TO bring a replevin suit for the recovery of
the tickets. This idea was acted upon and
a constable from magistrate Lockmans
court went to Colbert with the writ and de-
manded the delivery of the tickets to Ham,
1ner, who accompanied him. Superintendent
Colbert refused to deliver them without
first consulting City Attorney Curtis. The
trio went to Curtiss office and he advised
the superintendent to pay no attention to
the writ. Mr.. Curtis says the tickets are
gaming devices, and under the statutes were
virtually in the hands Of the court when
seized by the police.
