bio Follows.

II. G. Alderman, B. l.. Jewell and
A. W. Aubery all of this city, were
arrested here about 8 O'Clock last
night by City Marshal McGrew on
a charge of gambling. They were
summoned before Police Judge Slower
at 10, o'clock this morning and on
examination pleaded guilty as charged.
whereupon the court fined Ackerman
$40 and Aubrey and Jewell $40 each.
Louie Streuber and Perl Beaman,
who are also wanted for gambling
were not to be found last night though
it was learned that the latter was
with relatives at Roseburg. Streuber
is still in hiding, but warrants are
out for both and constable Cheshire
is now in search for Streuber, against
whom complaint has also been filed
for alleged boot logging.
As the prosecution for the Illicit sale
Of liquors is outside the jurisdiction
of the city courts complaint on such u
charge had to be made before the Dis
trict Prosecuting Attorney, b. f.
Mulkey who resides at Jacksonville.
Attorney Mulkey chanced to be in
town and was present at the trial of
the gambling cases this morning when
sufficient evidence was introduced
I to warrant the issuance of complaints
for alleged boot-legging against both
Ackerman and Streuber. The pre-.
liminsry hearing against Ackerman,
which came before Police Magistrate
Holman was set for 2 O'Clock this
afternoon. District Attorney Mulkey
represented the state and Attorney
]. n. Johnston the defendant. The
charge in this complaint was that OF
keeping and giving away Intoxicating
liquors, which was finally dismissed
and new complaint charging the sale
of lager beer without license, anj
the hearing set for O'Clock tomorrow
morning.
All this turmoil and trouble arise,
from little seancs of stud poker,
intermixed with booze at frequent
intervals, at the bachelor home o.
Louie Streuber on the bank of Rogu,
River at the foot of Fifth street las
Monday night.
In the course Of the, 12-hour session
