POLICE DISCOVER
 GAMING SCHEME
UNIQUE DEVICE OPERATED ON PLAN OF LoTTERY--cHlEF WEIR AND POLICEMAN BURKE DIS. eUIsED IN ovERALLs.

Chief of Police Wier and Policeman Burke yesterday morning raided a new variety of gambling in Birmingham, and in rather a unique manner They dressed themselves in overalls and wore caps sim liar to those used by locomotive engineers and succeeded in getting into the room where the gambling was in progress be- fore anyone knew who they were.
 Three white men and negro were put under bond on charges of running a gam bling scheme, and they will be tried this week before Judge Feagin.
 The game is operated somewhat on the order of a lottery. Slips of paper are sold for a specified amount, and all are placed in large globe in which they are thor oughly mixed Twice each day there are drawings, those holding the lucky num- bers getting away with the money.
 The drawings are held at 12:30 o'clock and at 6:90 o'clock, and generally there are large crowds gathered in the rooms, which are over the Crescent saloon on South Twentieth street. A large num- Der of negroes were there yesterday.
 Chief Wier has what he considers A good joke on several members of the police force. While in his overalls he passed several of the policemen and none of them recognized him or Policeman Burke although several have been work Ing on the force with the chief and the policeman for more than ten years

HARAN STILL ALIVE
 BUT CONDITION BAD
NO CHANGE HAS TAKEN PLACE AND PHYSICIANS ARE UNABLE TO STATE WHETHER HIS WOUND IS FATAL OR NOT.

Joe Haran, the young man who was shot and probably fatally wounded Fri day night in Williams saloon on Avenue c and Twentieth street, showed no signs of improvement yesterday, and last night 1t was stated at the hospital that he was about the same.
 It is too early for the physicians to reach any definite opinion as to the extent of his injury, and they arc not prepared to say whether they think he will be able to pull through safely.
 According to the evidence secured by the police, Haran and two friends went in- to the saloon and cursed the bartender, J. F. Jackson. A pistol was thrown on the counter by one of the young men and he refused to put it up.
 Finally one of them used some stronger language than had been indulged in be- fore, and the bartender struck him with a glass. Haran drew his pistol and Jack son shot him. Haran then got behind a screen and shot three times at Jackson, who laid his pistol across the counter and shot Haran a second time.
