Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARD1NO, Aug. lon
and after August 16 gambling of every
sort will be under the ban throughout
all of the county. The ordinance
drawn by the supervisors some months
ago has at last been enacted into law
and will be in force on the above date
It is a duplicate Of that in force in
the city and is one Of the most strin-
gent in the state, every form of gam
bling being under the ban, including
dice games and social games in sa-
looms.
The enactment Of this anti-gambling
ordinance is a result of the recent war
in this city against the evil. A num-
ber of the gamblers went just outside
the city limits and established gam
bling clubs, thus evading the law
This raised a protest from the dis
tricts affected and the supervisors were
asked to pass the new ordinance. There
is certain to be an outcry throughout
the desert region, where everything
and saloons are concerned, and wheth-
Ell it can be rigidly enforced remains
t. be seen.
Another raid on liquor sellers was
made this morning by the police, and
Emma Henderson, the proprietress of
a negro joint, was captured. She de-
posted $50 cash bail. This makes the
fourth case of illegal liquor selling
that has been uncovered here by the
police in the past ten days.
Chauncey McFarlane is in the county
Jail on charge of robbing Doc
Taylor of $14. He enticed Taylor to a
dark spot, relieved him of his money
and then made his escape, only to be
captured an hour later, the robbery
having in the meantime been reported
to the police
Louis Bellamy last night made an at
tempt to murder Lee Chang, employed
at the Chinese vegetable gardens, by
shooting him three times with small
rifle All three of the bullets lodged
in the hip, and the wounds are not
thought to be dangerous. Other China
men who saw the affair captured Bel
lamy, loaded him into a wagon with
the wounded man, brought him to the
city and turned him over to the officers
The brush fire which was burning
northwest of the city yesterday after
noon was extinguished in the might
under the direction of the forest ran
gers. 1t failed to reach Devil canyon
being stopped by a creek wash where
there was little food for the flames
The district burned over includes sew
eral acres, but luckily it was kept
away from any ranches, except the
Virgins place, where a quantity OF
hay was destroyed.
Word has been received here of the
death of Lucas Hoagland, one of the
earliest of the San Bernardino pioneers,
in Salt Lake City, where he went ten
days ago to attend the Pioneers re-
union. He was 70 years of age, and
came to San Bernardino in 1S47 over
the old Mormon trail, his first wife
being the first white woman to be
buried here.
The city authorities have been given
notice that they must secure new quar-
ters for the city Jail which is now in
the basement of the old court house.
The county authorities have taken the
initiative, and now the city must either
rent or build bastile. 1t is possible
that quarters in the county jail may be
secured.
