There is no disputing the truth
OF the News statement that "Mr.
Mcleod is a county officer and
there is no good reason why he
should assume charge of the
gambling question here any
more than he should in other
towns in the county" Mr.. Nc
Leod, as we understood it, pro-
ceeded against the slot machines
because complaint was made to
him officially regarding the run
ing Of the same. At least we
have the word Of the lastissue of
News fol- it. The News said:
On complaint of A. P. Stones
couple OF our saloon keepers were
arrested Tuesday charged with
operating slot machines. The
warrants were made returnable
before Justice Atkinson, OF Bay
field, and when the cases were
called a change of venue was TAX
en- to Justice Davis. It is un-
derstood that Mr.. Stone repre-
sents the Scandinavian Good
Tempiars' lodge of this city.
The News then endeavors in
other articles, to shift the re-
sponsibility for allowing gamb-
ling to proceed upon the District
Attorney and to thus relieve the
town board. The TIMES has
never been authorized to state
what the District Attorneys
policy was upon this matter.
and never has made any state
ment, Notwithstanding the article
of the News. It the News can
prove that it's statement is true
we will willingly do all of the
town printing free for the year.
And if the statement of the News
lis untrue the whole fabric of the
Mayors excuse that che was
waiting for the District Attor-
ney" to close gambling falls fat,
The TINES had always sup,
posed that the suppression of
gambling was a matter for the
town board. It is dead sure
thing that gambling opened last
spring within two days after
election and was net closed until
after the lastissue of The TIMES
1t is rot for the Mayor to say
"that there is more malice. roli-
tics and envy in The Times
article than TRUTH We defy
our contemporary to point out
wherein anything regarding
gambling was misrepresented.
The town has been crying out
for weeks against wide open
gambling, against young boys
losing their money on the crap,
roulett and wheel of fortune.
These things do not belong in a
civilized community, and if it is
malice to oppose such forms of
vice The TIMES has com mitted
an offence against the majesty of
the town government. We have
called attention to these forms of
vice when other admins trations
We're in power, and always will,
when the authorities so far for,
get themselves as to allow Wash
burn to become gamblers roost.
Take the falshoods- away from
the News article and there is
nothing left Of it.

Says Road is all Right.

Mr.. 7. A. Oscar, who is building
the new road to Ashland, has been
in the city for day or two this
week, having been obliged to lay up
on account of the rain. Asked about
the new road he said that it was not
progressing very fast owing to the
bad weather, but that when complet-
ed it would be as good road as
could be desired, fully equal to other
roads in the same neighborhood, and
ia every respect equal to the old
part of the Ashland road.

CHICAGO JURY HOLDS THAT ONE
SHOULD NOT WEIGH ON
GROUND OF MORALITY.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Dec. 12.-To ''welch' on
a bet on the pleal of morality was de-
clared wrong by jury of six members
ton in Justice Martins court. The
Y. M. c. A. jury held that in view of
the present status of gambling in
Chicago no one had right to
refuse to pay bets on the plea that
gambling is unlawful
The bet which a court jury was
called to decide was made on South
Water street. Gustave A. Reuter- and
John G. Neumeister laid the wagers.
Samuel Parliament was the stake
holder and judge.
The relative percentage of grease i'll
two samples of cheese was under dis
cussion. Reuter- offered to bet $100
that one sample contained as much
fat as the other. Neumeister prompt
ly wagered SIS that Reuter- would not
bet 500. Reuter- produced 500 and
the first bet was decided. Reuter- win
ming.
Two $10O bills were handed to Par
lament. He secured samples of the
cheese, analyzed them, and declared
that Reuter- had lost his 500.
Reuter- thereupon declared that
gambling was unlawful and demand
ed the return of his 500, and an an
nouncement that the bet had been de-
either pay or return the money under
the circumstances and Reuter- sued
/ him for the return Of his $100.
Parliament called for a jury. Con-
stable Skahen went to the rooms Of
| the Central Y. M. C. A. and served
the summon The jurors declared
that tho they were members of the
Y. NJ. c.. A. they had no prejudices
against gentlemanly bet. They We're
accepted by Parliament and Neumeis-
ter, who was equally interested with
| Reuter-. The three men told the e-story
of the South Water street cheese
speculation.
The jury deliberated about three
minutes after the evidence was hard.
Nothing very wicked, merely gen
| tleman's bet" said one.
Betting is all right in Chicago.
where everything else is protected
declared another.
A verdict was returned for the de-
fendant.. Parliament will not be
obliged to return the money, but he
will not pay it to Neumeister, for
Reuter- declares that he will take an
appeal, ..--.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Lots of Noise and Fire at Hamilton
e. Cos, Plant.

Celebrators of all ages. and more par
ticularly the boys, made liberal use OF
explosives and tin horns on the glorious
Fourth and for some six hours previous
thereto The disturbance was not I'M
usual however, considering the day, ana
it is said that n few citizens actually
slept n few hours. The bells were III
charge of Watchmcn, and there was no
noise from that source until 4 A NJ
when the guard was removed. AT th'tl
time the bells were rung for few mo-
ments but were soon silcnced with Kiiid
regard for the sick ones who would DE
disturbed by the deafening noise. no
serious accidents We're reported for the
day.
The final roundup of the day OF noise
occurred when an alarm OF ire WIS
sounded at Ills p. NJ, for blaze at
Hamilton & Cos. coal Office. The blaze
originated on the outside of the northeast
corner of this large building and was
making good progress when discovered.
1t had communicated to some haled nay
in the loft when the department arrived,
hut fortunately no serious damage re
suited and the loss will not be more than
$50 or $500 to building and contents, all
covered by insurance. The building IS

a Fire in the Woods.

The fire signal blew No. 25, shortly
before s O'Clock Sunday evening, for Il
fire located in the woods on the Gar
diner estate between River road and
the Dresden street avenue on the eS
tate The fire was confined to an area
thicI<ly covered with pine needles from
the trees above and the conditions We're
most favorable for Il fierce fire in the
woods. The locality was far removed
from any water supply, so the fire de-
partment, which responded to the
alarm was useless. a small party of
men under the direction Of James Dono-
van were responsible for the putting
out Of the fire, which burned over only
a small space. This was done only
after n hard fight with the flames which
rapidly spread in the tinder-like COW
ering of the ground. After about an
hours burning the fire was partially
cxtinguished and only smoldered about
the stumpS and roots of the trees. 1t
WAS learned from residents in that vi
cinity that the reports of firecrackcrS
had been heard uuring the afternoon
in the woods and the fire likely caught
from a cracker.

A GOOD FOURTH.
Everybody Has Good Time-No Seri-
Gus Accidents Reported.

There was noise enough all right in
the city on the night before and
through the day, Saturday, but it was
what the police would call a quiet day.
No vorious serious accidents have been
reported and there was very little
drunkenness and no serious scrapping
There were no fire alarms for the de-
rartment and the men had the day to
themselves. A little practice work
was done with some of the apparatus
and some Of the dangerous places
about the business section wet down to
prevent fires.
1T was beautiful night for the cele-
bratOn and they We're out in force,
making one of the largest crowds that
has been seen for years. About the
usual amount of mischief was done, but
no serious damage. The noise started,
Friday evening, when there was a very
large crowd on the street and lasted
until the early hours of Sunday morn
ing. One of the favorite amusements
was stringing torpedOcs along the cleo
trio car tracks for n good distance so
that when Il car came along it sounded
Il good deal like q park of artillery in
action. The streets We're Uttered with
the fragments Of fire crackers large and
small, tin horns and other noise pro-
duccrs. but good luck rcigned and no
one was badly hurt.
Most of the stores closed all through
the day and majority perhaps Of the
residents went out of town, either to
attend the celebrations in other places
or to enjoy outings ut tho ponds. A
good number went to Portland ana
many to Fairfield for the races in the
afternoon.
