$. unavaiiiha. ~; (,

Spokane. July 27.-Puttingl himself
np ias subject upon which to test
the constitutionality of the new
gambling law may prove more seri-
ious matter for Fritz Diedtrick than
either ne or those who are behind
him anticipated when he was brought
into the deal. !.
Notwithstanding the fact that it Is
said that Nedtrick was given positive
assurance that he would not be per-
mired to go to jail, he is there, and It
looks as IL he had a good chance to
serve out the full time Of his SEN
tence.
When Diedtrick, just after the new
law making gambling felony DELHI
erately opened stud poker game In
a public place and appeared to court
arrest, it was generally understood
that he was doing so at the instance
of the gambling fraternity, who were
anxious to get ruling from the SUI
preme court as quickly as possible.
No time was lost in having Diedtrick
arrafgned, and he without hesitation
entered plea of guilty and was Sen
fenced to one year in the state peni-
Tertiary. No effort was made to con-
test the case in the superior court,
further than an intimation by the at
torneys for the defense that they
would make the test through the me-
dunn Of habeas corpus proceeding In
the supreme court, contending that the
sentence was for crime not covered
by the information, and that the new
law was simply amendatory to the old
one making gambling misdemeanor,
and as such had not complied with the
provisions OF the constitution. a
After sentence an application was
made to have Diedtrick admitted to
BAIL and this mater is now pending in
the supreme court, while Diedtrick
languishes in the county jail and won
ders why the gamblers are not keep
ing their promise and getting him out.
The exact terms Of the agreement
between Dfedtrick and those who em-
ployed HIM to put himself up az q
target for the law have never been
made public, but it is said by those
who are to some extent on the inside
that Diedtrick was to receive a GER
tain sum of money in cash-said to be
S2,OOO-at the time of the arrest, and
that SO soon as, he was sentenced
ne would be furnished with a bond
IN order that he might get out of the
country before the matter was finally
settled by the supreme court, so that
if the decision was against him he.
would be safe. 1t is said that they
have acted in good faith with Died
trick and have been willing at all
times to furnish the bonds if the
court would admit the prisoner to bail,
but this the court refused to do thus
far, and the gamblers are unable to
make their agreement good.
The habeas corpus proceedings in
the superior court have been delayed
for several weeks, and it is claimed
that the gamblers are trying to pre-
vent a hearing until after the appli-
cation for bail has been disposed of.
as they know it would be impossible
to get bail when the Supreme court
has once finally decided that Diedtrick
must go to the peniteiary.

Outlaws for Life.

The bunch of "outlaw" brOncos with
the great Cole Younger and Frank
James Historical Wild West this
season is believed to be composed OF
the most inherently vicious animals
of their kind in the country. They
are new to the business Of fighting in
the ring-but take kindly to the
exercise. OF course the small amount
of riding they have to endure only
confirms them In their viciousneSs
for each time a rider jumps off, the
brute thinks himself master. So, in
a very little while they become for
ever untamable, perfect devils, and it
is really at the risk of a mans life
each time some Of them are roped and
ridden. But the proceeding Is one
that entertains the public nightly
all the same. They will be see here
on Monday, September I.
