similar character, but really for the
registration of bets or wages, usually
for small amounts, on the rise or fall
of the prices of stocks, grain, oil, ETC.,
there being no transfer or delivery of
the stocks or commodities nominally
dealt in"
Judge Holding said that he never
knew why these institutions were
called bucket shops" unless 1t was
for the reason that the people who
had dealings with them lost their
money by the bucket full The bucket
shop is one of the most alluring and
dangerous forms of gambling and is so
recognized by the statutes and the
court decisions of Tennessee.
The Court then read to the jurors
the statute defining gambling in fu-
lures, and stated that since the pas
sage of this law it was an offense
where either party to the transac-
tions, the buyer or the seller, dealt in
stocks or grains on margin without
any intention Of an actual delivery of
the thing or article dealt in. Judge
Holding then read extracts from de-
cisions Of the Supreme Court on buck
ct shops. This form of gambling, he
said had had a comparatively recent
origin in this section but while it had
existed it had done untold harm as
the experience Of many persons would
attest He thought that while the rou-
lette table and the faro bank had
thousands of victims that the bucket
shops had tens Of thousands. Judge
read at length from the cele-
brated opinion of Judge Catron on the
evil effects of gambling.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Nov. 23.-
Night riders have renewed their oper-

Of night riders took a man whose

very severely whipped him. The
reason for this assault is not known,

been talking too much about the night

Information comes from Lake coun-
ty that citizens of that county where
there is very strong feeling against
the night riders of Obion county that
hundreds of citizens have purchased
guns and revolvers and sworn ven

THE GREAT EVILS THAT HAVE RESULTED OPERA
TON OF INSTITUTIONS THAT CHARACTER.
READS JUDGE cATRoNs OPINION

In plain and unmistakable language
Judge Holding in the Circuit Court
Saturday charged the grand jury
to Investigate the report that a bucket
shop had been established in Column
bia He directed the members of the
jury to make careful and exhaustive
investigation of the report and spoke
at length of the great evils of gam
bling in general and of bucket shop
gambling in particular. He told the
jury that they had inquisitorial pow
ers in such cases and that no prosecu-
tor was necessary and it was their
duty to summon all persons who had
any dealings with the alleged bucket
shop. They could also summon the
operators, but if they did so they could
not indict them for any offense grow
ing out of the matter upon which they
were examined.
Shortly after court opened this
morning Judge Holding directed the
sheriff to bring the grand jury into
court. Upon their arrival the Judge
addressed them, stating that his at
tention had been called by the press
to the alleged existence of a bucket
shop in Columbia and he desired to
specifically call the attention of the
grand jury to this evil. The existence
of bucket shop here would, he said,
bring much evil to the community.
The judge then defined a bucket shop,
quoting as follows from the Century
dictionary:

inally for the transaction of stock
exchange business, or a business of

EXERCISE
NECESSARY

Plenty of regular exercise must be
taken in order to keep the body in a
healthy condition. Any excessive or
unusual exertion, however, is sure to
cause stiffness and soreness of the
muscles and joints.
To counterfeit this effect there is
nothing better than Sloan's Eminent

Sloan's Liniment is great boon to
athletes, for it not only relieves pain
and stiffness, but it is an excellent
remedy for sprains, cuts, bruises and

BALL PLAYERS
enter A KICK
Take Exception to Announced
Attendance at Worlds
Series Games

DETROIT, Oct 14.-Both Chicago
National and Detroit American League
ball players returned from Chicago
with loud complaints of unfair treat
ment in regard TO the business end Of
the worlds series games. They are
yelling louder than ever. They are nor
allowed representative at the turn
stiles and therefore cannot get actual
figures ON the attendance.
They say that in Chicago the Mon
day atteI'ance was given out as 1888,
but that unless the attendance given
out for the league games all season has
been grossly padded there were at
least three thousand more persons
there. The yell j. for a similar reason.
On Labor Day here the official fig
urcs on the afternoon attendance were
15,002. There were a whole lot of peo-
pie standing up, but there. is seating
room In Bennett Park for between 5000
and 10000 persons. In addition to this
regular seating room, circus seats were
brought here fom Chicago for the
worlds series guaranteed to seat 5000
persons.
Yesterday it looked from the playing
field and from the stands as though
another thousand people could not
have been crowded upon these seats by
any hook or crook Even as it was
there were a goodly number of fans
standing in right field. If the Labor
Day attendance was 5000. there wore
10000 in attendance yesterday, the
PLAYERS claim. or else half of the peo-
pie at the big games here always have
stood up and been uncountable.
Tho players do not make accusations
against anybody. not even insinuations
They are even charitable enough Ia
hint that they think it must all be a
mistake a deception OF the eye due to
the seating of the overflow instead OF
leaving it standing But at the same
time they see no good reason why they
should not have a representative at the
gate 10 look after their interests.
