Action OF States Attorney On
Slot Machines.
FOUR ARRESTS in BARRE
Another Man Hustled Machine Nas nz
Store Before Officer Arrived-
Pleaded Not Guilty IL
Court.


States Attorney Jackson played oxx
the red last night and scooped In four
alleged gambling devices in this city
from the barber shop Of Wallace Jondro
at North Barre and the fruit store OF
Mitchell David, A. Diyersi and A. Gia~
chino. Following so closely on the three
raids at Northfcld Saturday afternoon,
kespers Of various devices of similar
nature throughout the county have been
thrown into CONSERVATION and there Ill
scurTying to place the machines under
cover. Another local store read the
handwriting on the wall and spirited its
machine away short time before the
officers arrived last night.
The machines are all Of different
form, but the one seized at Jondro's
barber shop is similar to those taken
at Northiield ON Saturday and for the
keeping of which three men paid fines.
There was no money in the machine
that he once saw q man play money
into it.
Another has the special claim that It
Is not gambling device for the reason
that the player gets his fortune told.
The fortune Is: you'll have lot of
misfortune before you are happy" which
is an easy wager In most cases.
There was no opposition to the TAX
ing Of the machines except by NJ. David,
who put up strenuous objection to Chief
Browns removing his before the money
had been taken out. David protested
that the money in the machine was his
and that he would have it. Chief Brown
finally impressed IL upon David that the
police would not confscate the money,
but that it would have to remain in the
machine until after the case had been
heard in court. The money remained,
and the machine was taken to the court
room, along with the three others. The
four instruments made transformation
in those sacred precincts as Judge Fay
held court surrounded by them.
Each of the respondents pleaded not
guilty to keeping gambling device
when arraigned this morning, and the
cases were continued until tomorrow
morning. Attorney NJ. NJ Gordon APP
peared for Jondro, Hoar and Sargent for
Diversi, Sargent for David and Fl. w.
Scott for Giachino. Bail in each case
was fixed at s1O0, which was furnished
by the attorneys Hearings were held
ON the condemnation of the Jondro and
the Diyersi machines, but no decision
was rendered by Judge Fay.

EXTREMELY CLOSE CALL.
Wreck Barely Prevented at Schenectady,
N. ". Last Night.

Schenectady, n. ", Jan. 3O.--A brok-
en- beam On freight car standing on
the west bound passenger track OF the
New York Central last night derailed
the car Just as it was to be switched
to side track to make way for the
western express, due in three minutes.
The derailed car swung around across
both tracks, blocking them completely.
One OF the train crew rushed back to
flag the express, which was stopped a
short distance from the wreck. The
emergency brakes were applied and the
train came to stop with a jolt which
startled the passengers.
The wreck OF the freight car occurred
at a point where the New York Central
is erecting the iron work for its grade
crossings and it was thought for a time
that striking structural iron workers
might have Intentionally derailed the
car, but there was no foundation for
the belief. The tracks we're blocked for
some time.

were better at passing and team work
than Was Goddard. A fairly large crowd
was present at the game, they being
mostly members OF the school. IL God
dard had secured respectable percen-
! tage of the baskets which were tried
for, the score would have been vastly
different.

ment Referee Morrill, put the ball in
play. McCarty of the Northield team
secured the first basket after four min
utes Of play, followed by Houghton Of
Goddard with another. Dumas Of the
visiting team secured the nera, followed
quickly by Kittridge Of the same team.
Goodere of the seminary secured Cod
dard's last basket during the half. For
the visitors, Kelly made one and Dumas
two before the half closed.
In the second half, Goddard took q
brace as far as passing was concerned,
but was not able 10 make its shots
at the basket effective. After several
minutes of play, Kittridge, Co. rs cen
ter, started the scoring by dropping the
ball through Goddards basket. Hays,
also Of Go. #, shot the next one, follow
ed by NJ Clark of the Goddard team,
with the first Of their two scores in this
half McCarty Of the visitors scored
the last two points for his team, and
Houghton did the same for Goddard.
The best playing on the part Of any
player was by Berry of the Goddard
team. He played one Of the finest
guarding games that was ever seen at
Goddard Dumas was the star for
Northfleld. In the second half, Booth
was replaced by L. Clark. The game
ended with the score is to s in favor Of
