PLAYED POLICY and LOST
JAMES BLANCHER COMES OVER
FROM MINNEAPOLIS TO GAM
BILE A BIT
He Had Dream That Was Right,
but When the Numbers Came Out
the House WOuIdn't Pay-Tben
Followed q Raid.

Last Thursday night James Blancher
dreamed that he would become rich
through the numbers SLIPS, and yes
terday morning he came over bright
and early from minneapolis to invest
dollar on the mystic numbers. Last
night he slept on a little cot at the
central station and dreamed of a
dungeon, and seven other men are un-
der bond to appear In police court to-
day. And all because 3-17-26 won.
Yesterday noon Blancher reported to
Corporation Counsel Markham that he
had won $49 in policy game in rooms
over the barber shop on Minnesota
street between Fifth and Sixth streets.
He had been unable to collect and
wanted the able city attorney to at
tend to the matter for him.
This office Is not for the collection
of gambling debts" said Mr.. Mark
in view Of his mayors declaration that
there was no gambling. Then he told
his anxious visitor that Chief Goss
would probably attend to the case In
more satisfactory manner, and
Blancher headed for the central sta
ton.
Here he was made comfortable until
about o'clock last evening. when the
policy shop that would not pay was
raided by Officers Newcomb. Santong
and Cary. In the little dingy room
there were seven men and all were
taken to the central station.
Three Of the captives. J. H. Harris,
George Williams and j. T. Harris,
were colored. and together with Frank
Jones, Dix Brown and Ed LIE Duo
were booked on charges of visiting a
gambling house. James Hand was
charged with keeping the house. and
then Blancher, the winner who lost,
was locked UP on charge of gam
bling.
Then as further proof of the Ill luck
lurking in the 3-17-25 combination and
Of the contrariness Of dreams. all the
other men were released on bail ex-
cept Blancher. He will tell the mu-
nicipal judge how 1t happened today.

Y. M. C. A. s new QUARTERS
TO BE OCCUPIED ABOUT THE
FIRST OF APRIL.
Increasing Interest is Being Mani
tested in Association
Matters.

A meeting for men only was held in
the Y. NJ. C. A gymnasium at the usual
hour on Sunday afternoon. There was
a very good attendance, much better
than on the preceding Sunday after
noon, which would indicate that the
members had made some special effort
to induce young men to attend.
Rev. c. C. Herriot, the noted evange-
list of Oakland, was the leader. The
address proved interesting, and the
singing was greatly enjoyed by those
present.
1t is expected that the Literary So
ciety will experience a boom when the
headquarters of the association are re-
moved to the new building on the
northeast corner of Fifth and streets.
The oratorical flights in the halls Of the
present session of the Legislature have
drawn public attention away to some
extent from the budding Ciceros Of the
Y. NJ. c. A, but the Legislature will
adjourn before long, and that element
OF competition, or counter-attraction
will be removed
I The removal to the new quarters re-
ferred to will probably take place about
the 1st of April. Improvements are
meanwhile being made to put the
premises in proper shape for the work
of the association. The Fifth-street
wall is now being taken down and a
new one constructed in it's place. Rooms
are being partitioned off, and the baths
are being put in good order. Four new
tub-baths and eight new shower-baths
will be added.
There is at present an encouraging
increase of membership. quite number
of young men having recently Joined
the association.
Excellent work is being done in the
gymnasium, a goodly number of per-
sons taking exercise every day to build
up their systems and prepare to meet
the ravages of old age. Handball is a
favorite pastime of the younger ele-
ment.
The number of magazines in the
reading room has been materially in
creased of late and more persons avail
themselves of the advantages afforded
for storing their minds with useful
knowledge.
Every Sunday morning, from $50 tt
1870 o'clock, in the parlor of the
Young, Mems Christian Association, 6

Robert S. Boyns, Secretary of the asso-
citation, for the purpose of studying
"The Conversations of Jesus and theil
relation to men of to-day. Every young
man is most cordially invited to at

formal way, and is made most interest

STATE WAR CLAIMS.
Adjutant General Peeler Says They
Will be Paid.

Adjutant General Peeler says he has
every reason to believe that California
will get back nearly the entire amount
expended by the State in the late war.
Nearly all the bills up to July Sth
were allowed by the Federal Govern
ment, but bills accrued after that date
were not paid because there was no
available fund from, which to pay them.
General Peeler has assurances that
cause his to believe the State will lose
very little.
In this connection it is interesting to
note the fact that California beat Con-
necticut in having its war claims
promptly audited; this because the
bills were sent on more promptly.

bank will be admitted as creditor for
such balance
The money collected on these .securi-
ties since the commencement of this
suit will also be returned to the re-
ceiver, but the money paid on such Sc
curities before suit appears to have
been collected by the Secretary of the
association and paid into the bank on
the debt, by the association, and will
therefore be treated as so much of the
$4,000 returned

prepare findings.

Browne was arrested and pleaded guilty
to the burglary charge, but was tried
and convicted for murderous assault
He was sentenced to fifteen years fol
burglary, and to fourteen for the other
crime.
The term for the former has expired
and Browne claims that he cannot be

On the ground that the two sentences
were concurrent, and that in serving
the fifteen-year sentence he has also ex-

The proof of this allegation will be

WEARY OF THE WALLS.
James Browne, an Aged Convict
Signs for Freedom.

Judge Hughes will to-day hear the
application of James Browne, on habeas
corpus. for release from the Folsom
Prison. Browne is a veteran convict
and a bad one. He does not expect to
be released through the sympathy OF
any court, but his attorney, F. D.
Ryan, claims that his client is entitled
to his discharge on legal grounds.
1t seems that Browne. after having
been once liberated from the peniten-
tiary. went to Red Bluff, where hs
committed burglary The owner OF
the premises grappled with him and was
