Put Under $3.50 Bonds.

Chas. Small, one of the pro
prietors of Small & Sons con-
fectionery store, was tried in
Judge Holgate's court yesterday
morning for allowing gambling
in his store.
Several witnesses were called
and swore they were playing in
the above store on Saturday
night and Sunday morning. jan
uary and. 3, 1904. They all
admitted playing ''stud poker"
for money and using both checks
and coin with which to bet.
The game was run on percentage,
Chas. Small being the dealer.
The case proved one of gambling.
pure and simple, no evidence be-
ing introduced to the contrary.
It had been noised about that
gambling was being carried on
on in the back rooms of Small's
confectionery so the authorities
prepared an investigating COM
mittee to call upon the store and
see for themselves. This was
done last Saturday night as stated
in Our last issue, and the parties
found there that night, upon be-
ing questioned, admitted that
they had gambled in Small's
place. These were used as wit
nesses against the defendant who,
did not deny the charge.
After hearing the case, Judge
Holgate placed Chas. Small
under $3.50 bonds to appear be-
fore the next circuit court, which
convenes in April.

DR.. Withycombe urged the
