THE ANTI-GAMBLlNG LAW.

The new anti-gambling law will un-
doubtedly close all gambling establish
ments in the state of Washington. The
old law merely provided fines as pun
ishment for gambling and the vice was
regulated in cities largely by public sem
timent. Ii the preponderence of pub
lie sentiment was against gambling the
fines could be made heavy enough to
make the business Improbable; if pub
lie sentiment favored open gambling the
proprietors of gaming houses would
cheerfully pay modest fine every
month and continue to do business at
the old stand But under the new law
gambling is made felony, not punish
able by fine, but by Imprisonment +;
and as it is presumable that the average
gambler loves his freedom as well rs the
average citizen in any other walk of life,
it seems reasonably certain that none
will jeopardize their privilege OF free
dom by defying the law. The provis-
ions OF the new law are perfectly plain,
apparently leaving no loophole for eva
sion. and are a. follows:
ANY person who shall conduct, carry
on, open, or cause to be opened, either
As owner, proprietor, employee or assist
ant, or in any manner whatever, wheth-
er for hire or not, any game OF faro,
monte roulette, rouge ct noir. lansque-
nette, rondo, vingt-un lNo. 2D, poker,
draw poker, brag, bluff, thaw, tan, or
any banking or other game played with
cards, dice or any other device, whether
the same be played or operated for
money, checks, credits, or any other
representative or thing OF value in any
house, room. shop, or other building
whatsoever, boat, booth. garden or other
place where persons resort for the pur-
pose Of playing, dealing or operating
any such game, machine or device. shall
be guilty of a felony, and upon convic-
ton Thereon shall be imprisoned in the
penitentiary for period OF not less than
one nor more than three wears.

COUR T
TO RECOVER DAMAGES.

Susan Mist of Canton has brought
suit against the Huetterman & Kramer
Co. to recover damages done her prop
erty by the contractors while erecting
structure for the Stark Brewing Co.
| The petition alleges that employees let
large piece Of scantling fall from the
building upon her cellar door, smash
ing in the door and striking the plain
! tiff; a fence was destroyed, a grape
arbor torn down, washing ruined
and other damage done aggregating
in all $3.50 for which judgment is ask
ed. Money due the firm was attached
in the hands of the Brewing Co. Attor-
ney John C. Boutwell, represents the
plaintiff.
HEAVY DAMAGES DEMANDED.
Two suits for damages were filed
against the East Ohio Gas Co. Satur-
day afternoon. The first suit was
brought by Harvey H. Maxheimer who
was so frightfully burned in the gas
explosion in his building on Garfield
avenue last winter. Maxheimer has not
yet recovered from the effects of the
burning, and is familiar sight upon
the streets of Canton. His scared and
SCARED face and hands attract attention
wherever he is seen. Maxheimer de-
mands a judgment of s29, 200.
The second suit was filed by Lean
der r. Wires, who was in the build
ing with Maxheimer at the time of the
explosion. He was not badly injured
but claims he has been damaged to the
extent of $10,6G0, for which sum he
asks Judgment.
Both petitions allege practically the
same thing. The gas company is ac-
cused of being careless and negligent
in the construction of the pipes, thus
allowing the gas to escape and fill the
basement of the MaXheimer building
so that when the men went in the ex-
plosion followed and they were injured
without any fault upon their part.
MaXheimer asks $4,000 for the per-
sonal injuries and the balance is for
the injury done the building, his gro-
Gerry stock and the expense of DOCTOR
ing he was put to.
Wire demands $4,000 for the injur-
les sustained and the $500 is for doc
tors bills and other expenses Attor-
ney James j. Grant represents Max
heimer and the firm of Sterling &
Braucher are counsel for Wires.
