RAID GAMBLERS
EVANS RESORTS CLEANED OUT.
Sheriff's Posse Captured a Quantity of
Paraphernalia in Four Places.

Denver, July 16.-A special from
Greeley to the Republican says: Mar
shal Camp and five deputies raided
the gambling houses of Evans tonight,
confiscated the gambling parapherna-
liza and arrested Jack and Jim O'Grady
NJ. 7. Peltari, Joseph JudelowitZ and
Mrs. Paul Henchell, the proprietors' OF
the gambling houses, on a charge of
violating the state ordinance govern
ing gambling.
The raid was planned quietly by the
marshal and no warning preceded him.
On arriving at Evans a deputy as
placed in each of the five resorts to
take charge of the slot machines on
the lower floor. In a short time $50
people, composed mostly of the rough
er element of the town, gathered about
the buildings.
Jack O'Grady, who runs the finest
saloon in the place, is a stalwart Irish
man, and he determined to resist the
removal of his property. Finding that
angry words and curses were of nc
avail, he attempted to draw a gun on
the marshal. By this time twenty or
thirty of the better citizens of the
town had arrived and placed them
selves at the disposal of the marshal
to aid him in enforcing law and order
O'Grady was persuaded to offer no
more resistance and gave up his gun.
Eighteen slot machines were taken
from the houses. Six of these be
longed to Jack O'Grady and each of
the other houses was running three
1t is reported that $1,000 are in these
machines, and it has been some time
since they were relieved of tneir con
tents
AS soon as the heavy machines were
placed on two heavy drays sent from
Greeley the deputies were put in
charge of the upper rooms to remove
from them all gambling contrivances
While in one of the upper rooms Ell
mer Waters, one of the deputies, was
struck over the head and pummeled
by several habltues of the place.
Waters attempted to defend himself
with a chair, but was knocked to the
floor, his face bruised and cut, and his
nose broken. He was taken home and
placed under the care of surgeon.
After the belongings of the gambling
rooms were loaded on the drays the
gangs around the saloons ordered the
drivers down from their seats and un-
hitched the horses from the wagons
The marshal and his men then told
the crowd what it might expect if it
offered further resistance. The horses
were harnessed again and the big
wagons started for Greeley.
In the meantime word reached
Greeley that Marshal Camp was hav-
ing trouble and an armed force start
ed for his assistance. 1t met the mar
shal and his plunder one mile from
town and escorted him home. On ar
irving here at 10 o'clock the company
was met by 200 people.

Meat Riot in New York

New York, July ia fierce meat
riot occurred at Forty-fourth street
and First avenue this afternoon in
which 500 East Side kosher butchers
and striking employees of the big pack
ing house took part.
Just before the riot began some 200
kosher butchers. who at meeting last
night pledged themselves not to buy
any meat from the wholesale dealers
at the prices demanded, arrived at
Forty-fourth street and First avenue
to see what the prices were.
At the packing houses of Guggen.
helm & Co., Meyers Sons and H. Rod
man G. Co, they were informed that
the wholesale price for carcass beef
was from 70 to 13 cents pound. All
but four of them refused to buy.
The four who persisted in buying
the meat were not molested until they
left Guggenheims packing house. lug,
ging the meat they hac purchased.
AS soon as the butchers saw them a
great yell of anger went up and with
one accord they made for the four
men. In the van was a butcher who
has a store at 156 Allen street. He
knocked down the first of the four
men, lHeH ne reached anOlner Dutcher
Then, grabbing a side of beef from his
arms, he began to beat him on the
head with it. The others rushed in
and at the same time a large number
of strikers who had been lettering in
the vicinity of the packing houses
joined in the fight.
The fight became general. The four
men were lost sight of and everybody
struck out right and left. Men
sprawled in the street by the score.
At this juncture ten policemen
charged the mob with their night
sticks, which they used freely. The
mob swept down Forty-fourth street
to the river. where finally the police
succeeded in dispensing the fighters
They did not go far, however, but
gathered about block away from the
packing house, threatening violence.
