AYERS CAUSES
A SENSATION
Proprietors Of Two Establishments
Arrested for Permitting Gambling
to be Carried on.
SHERIFF MAKES A MILD RAID
Roulette Wheel Taken at the Puritan
and Poker Table at the
Big Bear.

When County Attorney Roy E. Az.
ers put the lid on short time ago
and announced that there could be
no more gambling in Lewistown while
he was in Office it was no bluff That
much was demonstrated yesterday
when Mr.. Ayers swore out complaints
against the proprietors of two estab-
lishments where. according to the
charge, gambling has been carried
on since the edict of the county at
torney was issued.
Causes Mild Sensation.
Mr.. Ayers action caused mild
sensation, as it was followed by the
arrest of the parties, after something
in the nature of raid. The two
houses complained of are the Puri-
tan Cafe and the Big Bear, and war
rants for the arrest of Marion l. Burke
and l.. S. Butler, of the Puritan, and
William Slaughter, an employe of that
place, and Daniel Fraser and Carl
Hagenson. the proprietors of the Big
Bear. were placed in the hands of
Sheriff Slater. The officer visited the
two houses in the morning, accom-
panied by Mr.. Ayers There was,
OF course, no gaming going on at the
time. At the Big Bear the sheriff
conf1scated poker table, and at the
Puritan he took roulette wheel.
This paraphernalia was loaded into
an express wagon and taken away,
and 1t Is now in the sheriff's pos
session. Just what will be done with
the table and wheel may depend on
the outcome Of the cases. Under the
law, they may not be burned, but Mr..
Ayers has not signified his intention
with reference to them In fact, the
county attorney will not discuss the
matter of the arrests at all. He simp-
ly says he had good grounds for max
ing the complaints, and that he will
push the cases through to a finish.
| Was a Surprise.
The arrests were surprise to the
sporting fraternity and the public
generally. Marion Burke, the city
marshal. is one Of the proprietors Of
the Puritan but since he assumed his
official position has not had much
to do with the management of the
house, his partner, Mr.. Butler, being
| Ill charge. luolT attorneys dSScrL
that there has been no gambling at
the Puritan since the county attorney
ordered gambling stopped. and that
the cover has not been of the roulette
wheel for weeks. A similar claim is
made by the proprietors Of the Big
Bear.
The five men arrested went before
Justice of the Peace W. T. McFar-
land in the afternoon, and each gave
bonds in the sum of $500. The pre-
liminary examination was set for Oct
~. as Mr.. Mcfarland is going to Hell
ena Monday to attend the state fair.
Hon. Frank e. Smith and Huntoon

PENDANTS to represent them.

THE SAPPHIRE
MINES AT YOGO
SHAFT SUNK TO A DEPTH OF 100
FEET ON SYNDlCATE'S
PROPERTY.

About thirty men are now employ
ed by the New Mines Sapphire COM
pany in the Yogo district. Charles
Gadsden is the superintendent, Wal
lace Danfruth, mine foreman, and H.
E. Maltby, timberman.
Shaft Sunk 100 Feet.
Two shifts are employed in sluic-
ing and clean-ups are made four times
day. A shaft has been sunk to a
depth of 100 feet, from which drifts
are run to reach the lead. which is as
clearly defined as are those of the
precious metals.
The process of securing the sap
phires is very simple, though in some
respects laborious. The magma or
rock in which the stones are imbed-
ded, is raised from the mine by a
steam hoist and dumped in piles from
the ore carts. The magma Is then
saturated with water and left to slack
or decompose, after which it is work
ed through sluice boxes containing riff
fles. as in placer mining. The gravel
is then placed in a rocker which has
screens of different sized meshes. The
coarse gravel is quickly disposed of
but greater pains is taken as the par
ticles become smaller in order to save
the precious stones. After the finest
screen has been used the cleanup
is placed in sacks or boxes and stor-
ed away to be eventually looked over
for the sapphres contained therein,
slow but profitable task.
Shipped to London.
The New Mines sapphlres are snip
ped to London. where they are cut
polished and prepared for the market
the very smallest having value only
| to watchmakers who use them as jew
els. The Yogo sapphires take high
rank in the markets of the world. In
fact there are none better Work in
the mine will be prosecuted all winteI
and sluicing as long as water can be
had for that purpose.

MILLIONS FOR PHILIPPINES,

Exclusive OF soldiers, sailors, and
civil officials, there are probably less
than 800 Americans in the Philippines
and not all of these are to be con-
sldered as permanent residents. And
yet the Administration has decided
70 spend millions Of dollars In making
Manila "a City Beautiful" and add
tional millions in creating a summer
capital in the mountains 100 miles
north of Manila, to which the over
worked ONCE holders may retire dur
ing the fever-breeding season, which
one returning soldier facetiously says
takes in the whole year"
Manila is to be made THE Gem City
of the Orient" while the summer loaf
ing place is to be more magnificent
than Simla in India, in fact, than any
similar retreat In the world. A
Chicago architect has been given carte
blanche to prepare plans aad specih-
cations, and he is about to set sail for
a aye-months sojourn in the islands.
The plan seems to be to give European
"imperlallsts" the grand razzle-dazzle'
without regard to cost. And the
American people will be called upon
TO foot the bill.
How do they like the prospect!

that protection which distance and

This demonstrates that in the minds
OF the "stand-patters" the tariff is the
enemy OF science and progress and that
It Is great mistake to cheaper the
cost OF transportation, And yet these
lame Republicans boast Of the fact
that they have authorized an expen'
diture Of from S2OO0O0,O00 to $500, 0O0,-

Why7 Is It simply to furnish them
with another excuse for lacking the
tarlff up several points? Why spend
money to shorten water routes and
cheaper transportation costs, II we
must proceed promptly to Offset these
benefits by higher tariff duties?
These "stand.patters" belong to the
old school Of extreme protectionlsts who
wished that the oceans were walls Of
IRE and who we're sorry that each
country was not separated from every
other country by impossible barriers.
They show their Inconsistency and
lack OF faith in their own theories by
printing pages OF statistics in their
campaign book to show the wonderful
growth Of our foreign commerce under

on Democratic Side.

Notwithstanding the fact that the time
for holding the city caucuses is but d
short time distant, there seems to be lit
tie or no political activity. The Repub-
lican forces seem to be taking it for
granted that MAYOR GldSmann will be
their nominee and are resting on their
oats. With the Democrats Max David
son is about the only one whose name
is mentioned as a candidate Tor mayor.
1t is expected, however, that the friends
Gil, will place his name before the peo-
pie for the Republican nomination IT.
respective of the fact that Mr.. Carr has
denied being a candidate for the office.
About the only one on the Republican
side of the house that has announced
his candidacy for mayor publicly is DR..
\. 5. Condor. Those in touch with the
situation think there is no doubt but
what Glasmann will be given the nOml-
nation and that he will accept it, al
though he has announced that he VIII
not be a candidate for reelection.
Aside from Mr.. Davidson, the only
other name mentioned in connection with
the Democratic mayOralty nomination is
that of DR.. l.. NJ. COnrOy, who, II Is
thought, would make a good race. Mr..
Davidson. however, is pushing his claims
before the people and is receiving con-
siderable support.
AS TO the nominees for the council
there is little being said. In fact, the
question as 10 who will succeed I. II.
Davis as postmaster next spring seems
to OVershadoW to a great extent, the in
terest in the fall election. Z. W. Wade

FAIR A SUCCESS.
Splendid Displays in Every Depart
ment Exhibited.

Richfield. Sept ls-The NJ. /. A. fair
held in Richfield Thursday, Friday and
Saturday was a success in every particu-
lar, and those who devoted their time
and energies to making Ii so were amply
rewarded. That the event was an at
tractive one is best told by the big crowd
which visited Richfied those three days,
The band which paTaded the streets anu
which furnished the music for the oc-
casiOn, was composed of sixty pieces and
Was one of the special features of the
fair. The band was under the direction
of Professor G. j. Olson Of this city ana
was composed of members from every
town in the county, and Was the best ever
heard in Sewer county.
The chief attraction of the fair Was
the exhibit at the Academy hall. Every
one of the five large rooms of the buIlC-
ing were packed with displays of handi-
work. products of the farm, orchard ana
garden, curios and relics, mineral and
art
Ii was a notable feature that the great
er portion of the exhibits, and the meri-
riOus parts Of the county outside of Rich
field. Every town in the county had more
or less on exhibit and was fairly Well
represented with prize-winning badges.
There We're three rooms of the building
OcCuped with the exhibits of quilts, plain
and fancy sewing, dress making, lace
and embroidery work, sofa pillows, GRO
cheting, fancy needle work, paintings and
hundreds of other similar articles.
The farming department was up to the
top notch and was far better than a
person could expect at a fair Of thus
size and being the first ever held In the
county.
The mineral department was exceeding
IN good and took the eyes of all who
were interested in mining OF any kind.
