came so easily on the Pacific coast
that within the first year he had broad

notifications, to localities scattered all
over the country and in the spring or
1892 the Teed Heaven" became one OF
the notorious spots in Chicago. Here

and followed implicitly the inspired
orders of the self-styled Messiah

25 Young women angels from Chicago

The parlor floor was all right, and then
the captain limited that he desired to
snoop around a bit and said he guessed
he'd go below. The police were armed
with some of Italy's best crowbars. At
the foot of the basement stairs they were
confronted with e large sheet iron door.

push.
Even Herlihy was surprised at the re-
suits With howl that was absolutely

the crowbar They didn't drop it all at
once They couldn't. After several at
te.npts they succeeded.
A large dry battery, quite powerful,
was found hidden above the door. The
battery was rugged so that contact with
the door completed the circuit.
Guess we'll go down some other way"
said the captain after the situation had
been made clear 10 him.
The police ripped up the carpet in the
parlor and used their crowbars, Singerly
at first, in tearing up the floor. After
Just seven minutes work they bored
through and got q peek at those in the
basement They enlarged the hole and
then they counted 50 men beside Scholes
down below.
Capt Herlihy was the first man to drop
through the hole and in a short time the
door was opened from the inside and the
men were arrested.
Instead of three hours just % minutes
had been necessary to reach the base
ment Except Scholes, who was charged
with keeping and maintaining gambling
house, the men in the room were charged
with being common gamblers.
