JAMES D. MoNuLTY.' v. p.
As the famous whitehouse near the race
track has been running wide open all sum-
mer 1t would seem that the head ofthe village
government has been suffering from the
same variety OF gambling blindness that mas
afflicted all the officials IN the village DUR
But while the gambler is quite welcome
to what little change the hotels overlook
in the visitors pocket. it Is quite another
matter when they attempt to get the VII
layers hard earned cash.
Promptly upon the receipt OF this COM
munication the police department sent out
men in citizen 8 dress to three poolrooms
which we're doing rushing business. and
play come to an abrupt stop Just as the
odds on the Futurity were being chalked up.
No arrest was made, but the advice OF the
plain clothes men to quit was needed with
haste.
The gambling houses have closed for
lack Of patrons, except Joe Ullman's, who Is
turning tonight for few stray men who
have remained to try to get even with the
house.

Evidence That the MURDERER Lay In walt
for the Girl.
KENrs HILL, Maine, Aug, 2s.-No arrest
will be made In the Hackett murder case
for an indefinite time and 1t Is possible that
an effort will be made to secure on indict-
ment of the person now under suspicion
before any attempt Is made to serve a
warrant.
May Cole, 10 years old. daughter Of a
neighbor OF the Hackett family told her
mother about week before the murder that
when on an errand about dusk, she saw
some one hiding behind the stone wall
opposite the Hackett house and evidently
watching that place with great intentness.
The child was unable to distinguish whether
the watcher was q man or woman and
about all she could tell her mother was
that she saw some one who frightened her
into running home.
The police regard the information as
important. a. il tends to show that the
person who killed Matte Hackett had evi-
to find the 6 irl alone.
