FIFTEEN CAUGHT
 SUNDAY GAMING
OFFICERS RAID NEGRO JOINTS ON SoUTHSlDE AND SEVERAL SHOTS ARE EXCHANGED IN MAKING THE ARRESTS.

Sunday gamers to the number of fifteen morning by deputy sheriffs. All of the rumber were members Of the Ethiopian race. Thirteen were men while two of the 15 were women. The arrests were exciting, several shots being exchanged.
 The first raid was made about 1 30 o'clock yesterday morning, Deputy Sher- ifs Lee Higdon George Parker and UKelley stumbling on to a full-fedge1 gambling den in Alley B between Twen- ty-third and Twenty-fourth streets. The deputies were scouting in the neighbor- hood having suspicious of a game being carried on there.
 The gamesters would probably have been playing yet but for the fact that the lock had been cut out of the front Iassersby could see into the room and the deputies took a look. This look re- vealed a game of craps going on in each corner.
 Deputies OKelley and Parker started around to the rear door while Deputy Higdon took the front. The negroes in side became instantly aware that the coils of the law were being wrappe1 l around them and endeavored to escape ty the rear door. Two of them went out this door just as the deputies were com ing around, and opened fire on them. The officers replied and a small battle en- sued, the two negroes succeeding in mak- ing their escape. One of them was cap- tured about two hours afterward.
 During this melee the other negroes in the house opened fire on Deputy Higdon, enc of the bullets passing within a few inches of Higdon's head and burying it. self in a plank directly back of him. The front door was barred and the dep- uties smashed a window sash and got the drop on the five occupants of the house, who filed out and marched to the county jail
 suspecting that the other two negroes would return to the house the officers paid another visit to it about daybreak and found one of the two-Tom Crosby ousily engaged in burglarizing the house. According to the officers Crosby was taking everything he could get his hands on. He was also removed to the county Jail and identified by the other negroes as one of those who had escaped.
 About o'clock Deputies Newt Cucl and George Courson made raid block CT two away from this one, catching nine negroes in the roundup. The games in this place were even more exciting than 1a the other place and the officers were in the place before the gamesters were aware of their approach. Some of them cndeavored to escape and a hand-to-haud struggle followed, the officers quickly gaining the advantage. After a few mi r. rtes the negroes gave up, a parade was formed and the march to the county jail followed.
 Charges of Sunday gaming were male against all 15 of the negroes, while an additional charge of burglary will also probably be made against Crosby.
