JUDGE CAMPBELL
HAS NOT YET
DECIDED
Yuma Poker Case De-
cisi0n Awaited With
Much Interest
From Tuesdays Daily

Judt Campbell, Of the First Judicial
District court. at Tucson, is expected
to render decision some time this
week on the matter of the Injunction
sought by District Attorney Robert
son Of Yuma, against ". II. Lyon and
l.. O. Stahl, owners Of Yuma saloon,
and y. +. Townsend, owner OF the
building in which the saloon il housed,
TO prevent them conducting, or allow.
ing TO be conducted, poker game
within the saloon building.
The matter was presented before The
court and argued some days ago, at
which time Judge Campbell took TIM p
ease under adviscment. u is said that
at taat time Judge Campbell minated
that IL "A criminal action could be sus-
tanned in the matter, under the laws
Of the Territory, the injunction would
not issue.
The case is attracting considerable.
attention throughout Arizona, and the
hh"i h''ini'u VI 'u'H' 'aHpb'h "
awaited with interest, here and else
where, M upon his verdict depends, 10
a great extent, the privilege Of operat.
ing poker games in other cities Of the
Territory, for should District Attorney
Robertson win, IL is likely other dis
trict attorneys will bring similar pro
ccedings in their various precincts.
Poker games in Prescott, since the
last Legislature passed the anti. gam
bling law, have run "widc OPEN" as
il seems 10 be the consensus of local
judicial opinion that the law covers
only percentage" games, and that
poker is not percentage game, al
though il is well known that the pro
prietors Of the games take "rake.
on" In many other places in Ari'
iona poker games are also run openly,
but IL is a fact, and Ia the credit OF
the men who formerly conducted gam.
bling games in the Territory, that no
attempts whatever have been made to
evade the provisions Of the anti
gambling law, as they apply 20 faro,
dice, roulette and similar games

either be harpooned or hooked. the

harpooning Is more dangerous and
more difIicult.
THE shark fishers need Q small

or hooks and some large calibre
rifles. The horse IL sometimes killed

"A shark will usually show up In
a very short time. At distance al
sixty feet he Is q long green object
Of indefinite outlines. He approaches
the dead horse slowly until q few
feet away and then veers OF to one
side and disappears. But he always
returns. Over and over again. some.
times for an hour. he will circle
about the dead animal, seeming to be
as suspicious as any fox. While
the shark Is making these repeated
