condemn the actions of Frank Live

f. C. Eagle, County Prosecutor, who,
it is alleged, accepted bribes for al-

slot machines in the city. The deal
was made, SO the saloon men say.
MIR. Eagle and Mr.. Lively, who is al.
so an attorney, were to receive $50.
from each saloonist, and the money
was paid over to be divided between
Lively and Eagle. Mr.. Lively later
sent a telegram notifying them to
start the machines and they We're inn
mediately put into operation, and are

the saloonists are TO be guaranteed
from prosecution by the prosecutor
until the next meeting of the legis-

be passed against operating the ma
chimes (they are not now considered a
violation in this State).
Lively was appointed by Governor
White to fill the unexpired term OF

it is likely that the Governor will be
