All of the men were ordered to ap-

were filed, at 10 o'clock this morning.
The raid resulted in the closing OF
all the games in the city last night.
The news spread quickly and when
it was learned that II was the sheriff
and not Mayor Boyds chief of police
who headed the raiders the gambling
promptly ceased.
On the streets today everyone was
laughing at the mayor and his Wild
eyed. noisy chief of police. The blum
put up by the two grandstand play
ers had been promptly called by tho
prosecuting attorney. upon whom the
pair had once before tried to shift
the burden and as a political move
the big talk Of the pair proved a
boomerang.
The place raided is not 100 feet
from the police station and there had
been plenty of time for the mayor
and his chief to get over there and
stop the game after the powwow with
the gullible newspapers.
1t fully established the fact that
the mayor and his Photographic chief
were talking for BLUM and that they
had not meant for the games to close.
They are two soap bubbles that will
be punctursd in the spring.
Clyde Hammond and Floyd Bell
were arraigned before Judge Kepnan
this morning upon the charge OF
gambling. They furnished bail for
