GAMBLERS AT COUNTY FAIR
Wreck Outfits and Administer Kicks
and Blows to Deft Manipulators
of Pea and Shell
Games

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 15.-There was an
exciting time today at the county fair
at Escondido.
Some gamblers set up two booths
and did a big business for a time.
Finally the people rose in their wrath.
The gamblers and the men alleged
to be acting as cappers were seized
by the angry farmers.
The latter first wrecked the gambling
outfit and then turned their attention
to the gamblers and their supposed al
lies, and roughly handled both. Kick
ing appeared to be the favorite method
of displaying the crowds animus
toward the gamblers and they were
booted vigorously by the farmers.
BY night the sporting fraternity had
disappeared from Escondido.
