show that the burglary was the

There is no clue that would
lead to the guilty party or parties,
but as several small thefts have
occurred in town within the past
few months suspicion points
strongly to certain parties and it

common knowledge that it is a
gambling game, pure and simple
probably more widely recognized
as such than any other game
known to the American people.
s.Third-But to gamble is to
play or game Cor money or other
stakes, and the offense denounced
by the statute and with which the
defendant is charged is gamb-
ling for a living. 1t is imma te-
rial, therefore, for the purpose of
the charge whether any game is
specified or, if specified, wha,
game it is, since any game may be
played for money or other stakes,
thus making it gambling, and
when the gambling is carried on
as means of livelihood it falls
within the ban OF the statute and
becomes the offense charged by
it.
"We are, therefore, of the
opinion that the trial should pro-
coed. 1t is. accordingly ordered,
that the alternative writ of man.

that the tile draining Of land will wa

way: The tile permits the entry of the
