ARE AFTER EN- AGAIN
Police Bring Self Confessed Gam
bIers Before Justice SIater
Saturday Evening.
OTHER ARRESTS WILL FOLLOW

Police and other of6cials Have Finally
Discovered That Gambling is Being Car
ried On openly in Kenosha-One Gam
bier is Fined $40 and the Costs of Prose-.
cution, Which is Promptly Paid-Tells of
Gambling in the Court Room,
The police are after them again and
it's dollars to doughnuts that the gam
b1ers in the city will have hard row
to hoe during the next few weeks. For
some time the storm has been brew
| ing, but it took a confession IN open
court to make the police believe that
there was really gambling in Kenosha,
and from now on they claim that all
sorts of chance games will be sup
pressed
The first game to fall under the ban
was the one which is run by Paul
Hecker in connection with the saloon
of John E. Heating on Main street.
On last Saturday when the hearing OF
Loescher and Harkin was on in Justice
S1ater's court Hecker was one OF the
witnesses called by the State. line
testimony showed that he was engaged
in running a general gambling den IN
connection with the saloon. When
asked by attorney Cavanagh in regard
10 his business Mr.. HeCker stated that
he was a bartender and that he was in
ferested with Mr.. Heating in the man
agement of horses. This didn't seem
to suit the attorney, and after several
other questions Hecker stated that he
was employed by Heating to take
charge of the upstairs rooms OF the
saloon. When questioned further
Hecker stated that the room was used
as a poker room. With this as start
er attorney Cavanagh went further
and the next question brought out after
considerable delay that the room was
also used to allow those who desired to
play the highly exciting game of craps.
Hecker was then forced to make a
damaging admission, as the attorney,
summing up his answers, said; Then
/ understand that you are conducting
general gambling room III that build
ing?" Hecker answered the question
in the affirmative and the answer was
of the case on trial was over Chief of
Police O'Hare arrested Hecker on
charge of keeping a gambling den.
He was at once taken before Justice
Slater and plead guilty to the charge
and was fined $50 and costs, which
was promptly paid.
Now that a start has been made and
the police have discovered that gam
bling is going on in the city it seems
probable that the lead will be followed
up and several more arrests may be ex-
pected in the next few days. There
is no doubt but that several other
games are in active operation, but the
fate of Hecker will cause them to be
run under cover for the next week or
SO. District Attorney Buckmaster
stated that he had ordered the police to
investigate all places under suspicion
and see that the law is enforced to the
very letter.

A Hot rime-Badly Disappointed.


TheSKenosha Bowling Club, sup
posed to be fifteen strong, was to
meet the Zouaves bowling club in a
contest il: Milwaukee yesterday after
noon. TheEfai1ure of the event to
corne off was great disappointment
to the Milwaukee boys, for one of the
finest times ever put on the docket had
been arranged for by the Zouaves.
AS it was only five of Kenosha's bowl
ers appeared for the contest. They
were Chas. Steinback, Mike LUX,
Fred Zimmerman, John Rosing and
r. Stobig.
After delay of an hour or more the
game was started by taking eight
Milwaukee men.
Never have the Kenosha boys en-
ioyed a better time than yesterday
afternoon for their money was no good
with the Zouaves. A return game will
be played on the Central Park alleys
on Jan. Z, and we hope then to return
the compliments.
The following is the score of yester-
days game.

FORM A WHIST ALLIANCE.
and Racine Clubs Will Hold
Monthly Journeys During the Season.

If plans are carried out there are
some exciting times in view for the
lovers of whist in Kenosha, for nego-
tiations have been started by the Ke-
nosha and Racine clubs to make an
alliance for the purpose of playing
monthly Journeys. The plan is sug-
gested by the Racine club, and the
local players will undoubtedly accept
the terms of the arrangement this
evening.
The plan was outlined by the secre-
tary of the Heyer Whist Club of Racine
and provides that the two teams meet
once each month for a ten team match.
The first match is scheduled to be held
on Wednesday evening of this week.
For the past few years the most
feeling has prevailed between
the whist players of the two cities and
some exciting match games have been
played. The new arrangement, how
ever, is long step to making the
game more interesting to players in
the two cities and toward awaking a
new interest in whist.

LAST SAD RITES.
Many People Gather to Pay a Last Tribute
to the Memory of Henry Laughlin.

The last sad rites over the remains
of Henry Laugh1in was held at his late
residence on Ashland avenue Sunday
afternoon. No greater evidence of the
popularity of the deceased could be
found than in the great crowd of peo-
pie who gathered at the bier to pay the
last triDute to the memory of one whom
they had been glad to call their friend.
The service was under the direction
of the Masonic order, of which the de-
ceased had been a member for many
years. The Masons turned out in a
body and the members of the K. of P,
of which the deceased was a former
member, formed part of the audience.
Many people froNn Racine were also in
attendance.
The services were of a simple nature.
The choir from the Episcopal church
furnished the music, while Rev. Rob1ee,
of the'Gongregationa1 church, made a
few remarks, which were appropriate
to the occasion. Many beautiful floral
tributes we're heaped up about the
casket.
This morning the remains were
taken to De1avan, where the interment,
which will be in charge of the Masons,
will take place.
