Row Among Gamblers
Jack Moore Arrested

Just as the interest in the Moore
Bartlett feud had begun to wane, the
scions Of chance sprung the second act
Of the nine-spot' burlesque, and again
Congress street. from Church to Court,
was agog over the news.
Mr. Bartlett seems to be the leading
man in the second act, and he appears
to be using the law to further his ends
also. A warrant was sworn out for
Jack Moore yesterday afternoon before
Justice Wilson. The complaint was
made by Ezra c. Bartlett, and charges
the defendant with embezzlement.
Mr.. Bartlett complains that several
months ago he owned a fast mare
named Pronto. He priced the mare
highly and left it in charge of his man
ager, along with the rest OF his local
interests. He claims that Mr.. Moore,
acting as his agent, disposed of the
animal to Henry Levin of Nogales, and
received 500 as consideration. He
alleges that the horse in the first place
was worth more than the selling price,
and secondly the above amount has
never been accounted for by Mr..
Moore. Mr.. Bartlett, on discovering
this fact, acted 'pronto," like his
horse, and swore out a warrant for his
former manager
The warrant was served on Jack
Moore by Constable Manciet. Mr.,
Moore appeared to be more than
pleased at Nh Bartlett's latest move.
He Insisted on being locked up. and is
now satisfied that it is his next move.
He appears to think that he can now
call the turn on Mr.. Bartlett and feels
accordingly happy. Mr.. Moore was
behind the bars but a short time. His
bail was fixed at $500, and this amount
was furnished promptly by his friends.
The case will be heard before Justice
! Wilson next Monday morning at 9:3O
| o'clock
Jack Moore denies the allegations of
| his former employer, and declares that
| he will prove them absolutely false.
He says it is weak attempt on the
part of his friend Bartlett to law him
out of the country. He anticipates
that Mr.. Bartlett will trump up a
series of charges against him, and
keep him busy furnishing bonds. Mr..
Moore declares that he can furnish
bonds as fast as his old boss can
manufacture charges. He is picturing
to himself what a beautiful time he
will have calling the turn on his friend
Bartlett for false Imprisonment, men
tai anguish and a few other things.
1t is evident that the feud has
reached point where bitterness is be-
ing injected into it. There was an at
tempt made yesterday to compromise
the matter, but it was impossible.
While all of the fraternity deplore
the fact that policy is not always
policy, still their sympathy is with
Moore's nine-spot. It is certain that
the expose is rapidly decreasing the
followers of the mystic glass wheel,
and is causing no end of complaint
from the game owners. The proprie-
tor Of one of the large Congress street
resorts said last evening: 81 would
give 5000 if this thing had not come up.
IT'S bad for the business, and it's, not
the best thing in the world anyway. j
suppose the high license cranks will
make use of it to further their ends
also."
This afternoon Jack Moore was
again arrested on complaint of Bart
lett. The charge was embezzlement.
Moore says he expects that Bartlett
will have him arrested daily for some
! time to come Moore claims to be
! having raftS of fun.
