Council, made raid upon 10 Manton avenue
and wnen they went away they had IN their
possession roulette layout and some CHIPS
which were turned over 90 the chief OF ponce
for safe keeping. The call was quiet one,
for the leaguers stole march upon tho hun
dreds of people who were on the square nv the
time. ana only when they saw an express
wagon coma from the yard In the rear OF the
buildiue r. and in the express wagon "A long
board covered with bright green cloth, did
the people begin TO realize that something had
happened The leaguers claim that they saw
other sorts OF gambling implements but that
they were spirited away before they could get
possession OF them. Not member OF the
Town Council knew that the president antici-
pated taking any hand in the matter and this
has led many 20 believe that the president has
decided to run for some position on the Pro
hibition ticket with Messrs. Calder, Amison
and Maine, for, according 10 the statements
of a number of the presidents friends, he has
made decided change Of front during the
past few weeks
