Ban on Slot Machines.

Columbia, S. c., April 12th-The
justly famous slot machine case came
to a sudden and sad termination, tenn
porarily at least, this afternoon in
Magistrate Norman s court to which
it had been transferred on change
of venue from the recorders court
where a similar case had been decid-
ed adversely under the ordinance. The
magistrate also decided against Man
ager Cain, of the slot machine con-
Germ, the prosecution being brought
under section SOL Of the criminal code,
which provides for the seizure and
conliscation Of goods exposed for sale
on Sunday. The Al slot machines
seized last Sunday were returned
Wednesday after Mr.. Cain consented
to open them and release the contents.
The goods, valued at $40, were con-
fiscated under the decision today,
though Mr.. Cane himself suffered no
fine.
Attorney Frank G. Tompkins did
not attempt to disprove the facts set
up by the prosecution but based his
hope OH three technical objections that
the statute was intended to prevent
only persons (aboring on Sunday
that the proceedings were not regular
i'll that section 504 Of the same chap
ter provides different method, and
that the act itself is unconstitutional
because it deprives person Of prop
erty without due process of law. He,
therefore, gave notice of appeal to
the Circuit Court and says he will
carry it to the Supreme Court If nee
essary. This ties up the sale of ci-
gars, candy and chewing gum on Sun
days until the appeal can be heard
at the June term of court, unless the
case can be gotten by consent before
the civil court, which convenes in a
few days. Some other move may be
made in the meantime, however.

fierce as he said this, for as has often

GREEN & aAYNoR CONVICTED
A Long Trial Brought to An End
Case Has Been Pending For
Seven Years.

Savannah, Ga, April 12.-Benia-
min D. Green and John +. Gaynor
were found guilty of conspiracy
against the government, presenting
false claims and embezzlement in the
Federal court for the southern dis
trict Of Georgia today, and tomorrow
Judge Emory Speer will pass sentence
upon them.
The defendants were found guilty,
with no recommendation, upon each
Of the indictments. The verdict was
returned a few minutes before 2
O'Clock, after the jury had been out
three hours. and half. , o.. ..
For ii weeks the case had been in
progress and there was the stiffness
Of the tomb in the court2n room as
Judge Speer asked the jury If they
had agreed upon verdict. Foreman
Hope Thomas answered in the affirm
ative and the three indictments were
taken and the findings read by the
clerk. The jury at the request Of the
counsel for the defense was then
pollcd and each member stated that
the verdict rendered upon the indict-
ments were his. The maximum sem
tence that the court may impose un-
der the law is an aggregate term Of II
years in the penitentiary and fine
Of $575, 900, the amount Of tho alleged
embezzlement. 1t is not believed,
however, that the sentence will be Of
extreme severity. Before adjourn
ment until tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock, when sentence will be pro-
nomced, Judge Speer said:
"I have no disposition towards
these unfortunate men except to be
just as merciful as my duty under the

The minimum sentence permissible
under the law is two years in the PEN

The state. board of dispensary dir
eetors has s'sat on' Senator Chris

the dispensary Investigating commit
tee in the matter Of the latter's' de-
mand for list Of the purchases made
at the last meeting with prices and
amounts ordered out, and has refused
to keep the samples "intact.''
; Director Black replied through
Clerk Mobley to the letter from Mr..
Christensen along this line, to the
effect that while the board was at
all times ready and willing to assist
the committee in protecting the i'll
terests Of the state and that the books
and records of the board are open
at all times to the members of the
committee, "they do not feel called
upon to furnish" and "they wish to
say that the board is the custodian Of
the samples.'
Mr.. Christensen was not satisfied
with this and wrote to ask that at
least one other member of the bodrd
pass upon his demands. This is the
reply he got, dated yesterday:
"Dear- Sir: I am directed to say
that the board concurs with Major
Black i'll my letter to you of March
31st.'
These purchases have been referred
to number of times in the recent
spirited controversy between Senator
Tillman and Mr.. Lyon, Senator Till

Who are the Belroy people?
Is the proof of liquor furnished
generally given OH the invoices Of the

during the past few years7
Does the Anchor Distilli9g company
liquor bear the labels of that concern Z

IMPORTANT MINING DEAL PER
 rECTED YESTERDAY.
From Thursdays Daily.

An important mining deal was per fected yesterday when the title to q one.third interest in the Snowflake ana Cedar mining claims, in the Cherry Creek district was passed from F. L. Scherrer to W. C. Mctzgcr These claims are among the most promising in the district and will, within n very short time, be the scene of active op. cratiOns.
 A shaft on the Snowflake claim, sunk to n depth of l5o feet, from which lev. els have been run, exposes body of free milling gold ore of good grade, averaging a width of forty inches while surface openings on the other claims show the ledge covered by it to be equally as promising.
 The Snowflake was n profitable pro ducer in the early history of ,oc lis. trict. Numerous open cu,s md shallow shafts bear witness to the industry dis. played by its early owners, when ore taken from the apex of the vein was relieved of its golden treasure by the crude arastra process at good profit even under the more adverse conditions that then existed in the district, it being then much more isolated iron, railroad communications that at pres. ent. when the nearest railroad station, at Dewey, is yet fifteen miles dis tant.
 In connection with this property, n mill will he shortly put in operation, the lumber for the plant and building having already beon purchased, while

INTERESTING CASES DECIDED AT
 FLAGSTAFF.

There were some we'll known cases decided at Flagstaff at the court ses. sion held there last week.
 An interesting decision was rendered in the suit brought by Miles Cameron and others against Martin Buggclin, the plaintiffs being awarded s2,OOO on account of the enforcement of an in. junction to prevent the collection of toll on the Bright Angel trail.
 This suit is the sequel 10 a number oi suits brought, it is said. at the in- stance of the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad company against Ralph Cameron for the use of the Bright Angel trail. one of the popular routes to the Grand Canyon.
 Still another suit, practically involv. ing the same question, was decided in favor of Cameron on a demurrer to the complaint.
 Attorney Reese NJ. Ling. of this city, appeared for Cameron in the fore. gong actions.
 Another case, in which the Flagstaff public thought some sensational dis closures would he made, but which re. suited in n disappointment, was n suit brought against the board of sup. ervisors and Attorney F. NJ. Doe, at the Instance of District Attorney Ash urst, for the recovery of s600 paid to MT. Doe on n warrant issued by the board for professional services render. ed to the board of supervisors on mat. ters relating to taxation.
 The action of the board was justi fled by them in it's answer which was filed, setting forth that the district attorney was either dishonest or in. competent. and that the services of Mir Doe as special attorney was necessary
 When the case was called for trial the district attorney, on his own mo ton. dismissed the suit.

HOMER DU BOIS AT LAST OB.
 TAINs FREEDOM.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 The imprisonment of Homer K Dubois Is ended. He was given his freedom this morning. when he paid to Recorder Treat sl5t, says the Tucson Citizen. This sum represented the amount remaining from the fine of s30O imposed for conducting saloon with ont n license. The sentence in this casc was s3OO or 300 days in the city prison. DuT,ois remained in custody for liG days.
 While ho was serving this sentence ho also served number of gambling sentences. The last of the gambling sentences expired Sunday. As there was imprisonment with these sentences, the time portion had to he served. With the saloon sentence. however, it was simply fine, with the alternative If imprisonment.
 It was mainly on this latter sen. fence that an attempt was made to SC. cure writ of babcas corpus from Judge Sloan, of Prescott. The writ was de nicd by the judge after aflidavits had beon submitted by the City of Tucson and by Duliois. In romanding DuBois to custody, Judge Sloan held that he might have his freedom after Scptcm. her 23 on payment of .sl5i.
 No ease in the Territory in recent months has attracted as much atten- ton as this one. |, wns n battle of ihc city against the gambling element. Dui'ois elected himself to make the test. He opened up roulette and craps m tho Legal Tender in defiance of the city gambling ordinances. He was ar. rested and found guilty before Record. "r Treat and sentenced to Imprisonment and fines.
 puBois was supposed to have the backing of the gambling ana saloon clement of the city, who would have been gathers had he won his suit. However, DuIlois found himself sud. lcn'y deserted when affairs began to 70 ,gains' him.
 He tried unsucccssfully io win his easc hv haboas corpus proceedings he. fore Judges Campbell, Doan and Sloan.

J. T. NELSON SELLS THE OLD
 PINE RANCH.
(F.om Wednesdays Daily.)


 One of the most important stock and ranch deals made here of late was perfected yesterday. when the Old Pine ranch passed from T. T. Nelson, the Jerome Junction merchant, to M. A. Perkins, member of the live stock san itary board from this county, and one of the heaviest investors in live stock in the northern part of the Territory. Besides the ranch, with its water rights and appurtenances, the deal in. cludes all of the cattle owned by Mir. Nelson in that part of the county.
 The consideration mentioned in the instrument of transfer Is s6,5OO. but those who claim to be on the inside of the deal suggest much larger amount. The ranch purchased by Mir. Perkins is among the early settlements of this part of the Territory. II is situated about eight miles north of tho Point of Rocks, and includes within its boun. darics valuable water rights as well as several good buildings
 It is easily reached from this city by good wagon road, and is located within n short distance of the $. F. P. X P. railroad and is considered by stockmcn to bc an ideal location.

BERRY AND LONG BOTH WANT A
 SEAT.
(rrom Thursdsy's Daily.)


 Whether Dave Berry or W. A. Long will be the accredited representative from Massicks precinct to the Demo cratic convention is only one of the many interesting contests the commit mittce on credentials of that body will bc called upon to decide today.
 Both claim to have received four votes at the primary election. Berry was inspector of the primary and has in his possession the regular credentials as delegate, issued by the central com. mittcc, while Long, who will make a strong fight to be seated, comes armed with a petition signed by three Demo cratic residents of a part of the precinct remote from the place where the pri' maries were held. This petition sets forth that the bearer, Mir. Long, is the choice of the petitioners for delegate to the convention. and further states that the signers were prevented from casting their votes for Long as dele. gate, owing to tho fact that previous business engagements prevented them being present at the primaries.
 The contest. which is expected, to be a bitter one, is the direct result of the merging of the Seven Mile House and Massicks precincts, by the board of supervisors, under the new primary law. Neither Long or Berry, both having been leaders of the respective precincts for many years, is willing to relinquish his prestige to the other.
 Long has for number of years re sided in the old Massicks precinct, where bc is the acknowledged leader among the Democrats, while Berry has represented the old Seven Mile House precinct in more than one stormy Dem. ocratic convention. The decision of the credentials committee will be watched with much interest by the constituents of both parties, who are well known and have evenly divided followings in the lower Lynx Creek section.
