Gambling Law Decision.

The supreme court has decided
that the anti-gambling law applies
TO Boise. The Law is laid down in
an opinion filed yesterday. It was
prepared by Chief Justice Sullivan
and eoncurred in by Justices Hns.,
ton and Quarles.
The decision is rendered on the
application for writ Of habexs
corpus in the case of John F. Rid
enbaugh who was arrested fof
conducting q game of faro. The
defendant was fined 5000 by Pro-
bate Judge Blake, and application
was made for a writ Of habeas
corpus.
This was argued by A. A. Fraser
for the defendant and Attorney
General Mcfarland for the state.
The case is one that was made
up for the purpose of determining
whether or not the special charter
of this city suspended the operation
Of the anti-gambling Law in Boise,
the charter authorizing the couucir
to regulate and license gambling.
A license was taken out by Thomas
Constance for a game, and then the
dealer was arrested.
While the above decision only
effects gambling in Boise city, yet
it looks as though the court is in
clined to hold the law as a valid
one for all parts of the state.

CHAPTER II.

The two men watched it for several
minutes. All the time it seemed to be
growing larger and brighter till, after
awhile, they saw that the ligb. came
from something shaped ike ship,
sharp at both ends ard covered with
oval glass. AS j. slcwly rose to the sur
face they saw that it contained five or
six mer, sitting in easy chairs and re-
clining on luxurious divans. One Of
them sat at a sort of pilot wheel and
was directing the course Of the strange
craft, which was moving as gracefully
rs a great fish.
Then the young men saw the man at
the pilot wheel raise his hand, and from
the water came the musical notes of n
great bell. The vessel stopped, and one
of the men sprang up and raised an in
strument that looked like telescope to
his eyes. With this he seemed to be
closely searching the lake shores, for he
did not move for several minutes. Then
he lowered the instrument, and when
the bell had rung again the vessel rose
slowly and perpendicularly to the sur.
face and glided to the shore within 20
yards of where the adventurers stood.
Gould they have seen us!' whis-
pered Thorndyke, drawing Johnston
nearer the side of the cliff.
II think So At all events, they are
between US and the outlet. We may as
we'll make the best of it,
The men, all except the pilot, landed
and dazzling electric searchlight was
turned on the spot where Thorndyke
and Johnston stood. For Il moment they
were so blinded that they could not see,
and then they heard footsteps, and,
their eyes becoming accustomed to the
light, they found themselves surrounded
by several men, very strangely clad.
They all wore long cloaks that covered
them from bead to foot, aud every man
