That they had planned TO leave the

beyond doubt. The woman, IL is said,

OF the discrepancy. Mr.. Ncagle stat.
ed that Sheriff Lowry had already
been over to Jerome, and was still In.
vestigating the matter, and that IL he
desired to make any statement At
this time he would avail himself Of tho
oher to use the columns OF the Journal.

~ present the facts Of the matter TO
the public, especially a. the affair Is
one that reflects indirectly upon the
office.
A new light was thrown upon the
situation by n man who is In touch
with Jerome affairs, who expressed the
matter thus:
81 do notbelicvc that Deputy Sheriff
Yves Owens Is guilty Of the charge Of
grating. For years past II has been
the custom over In Jerome 10 allow
gambling house to open up one or more
extra games for two or three days
around pay day or on some big holi.
days. These extra games would only
run two or three days, and then close
down, and no license was exacted for
them. The city Of Jerome, however,
collects for every game whether IL runs
for day or for n month. The only
difference Is that the deputy sheriff IL
lenient, but ] am positive that there is
no rake-off. This has been the custom
over there for years. don't say IL IL
strictly right, but ] nm sure there Ii
nothing crooked about it,"
On the other hand, advices from Je-
rome last night from one Of the cen.
trail committee Of the Progressive party
state that they are prepared to prove
that the county has been defrauded,
and that they are only waiting for the
opportunity 10 do 40.
Hence, no matter how the election
goes on Monday, there is sure TO be
something stirring in the old town.
