true it does not seem reasonable to
believe that the manufacturers and

RHEUMATISM
ROSE rs ON TRIAL.
PROPRIETOR OF THE COMMERCIAL
HOTEL ACCUSED OF GAMBLING.
EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM WEAK.
Cray, the Complaining Witness Fails to
Remember the Details of the Evening
Named in the Complaint, and Rose
Will Prohebly be Acquitted.

j. W. Rose, proprietor of the Com
before Justice Slater on charge of
shaking dice for money with GUS
toner in the saloon in connection with
the hotel on the evening of Jan. Ii.
The charge was made by Frank Cray,
a carriage maker, who had formerly
been bOarder at the hotel. The fact
that a number of we'll known men had
been summoned as witnesses in the
case caused it to be one of more than
ordinary interest, and when it was
called this morning quite a crowd of
interested spectators were present.
The complaining witness in the case
proved very weak and the main point
in the case seemed to be to determine
whether he was drunk, and hence
unable to see whether the men were
playing for money or not. He stated
that a man was not drunk as long as
he could walk and on that ground
concluded he was perfectly sober and
did see Rose and an unknown man
playing poker dice for money. Rose ad-
mitted that he had violated the State
law by allowing the shaking of dice
in his saloon but claimed that the Gus
toners were never allowed to shake for
money but only to determined rotation
in paying for the drinks.
The evidence against Rose seems
very small, and it is hardly thought
that it will be sufficient to convict him.
Cray admitted that the suit had been
brought mainly because he had been
thrown out of the hotel by Mrs. Rose,
the wife of the proprietor. Justice
Slater took the case under advisement
until later in the day.
The police and States attorney had
hoped to have secured case against
Rose, in order to make some move to
revoke his license, but the general
opinion is that he will be acquitted.
