A Sad Case
 Of Dementia

Another unfortunate was before the examining commission in the probate court today. A Mrs. Anderson, oi Lowell, suffering from form of re!ig ious dementia, was committed to the asylum, where 1t Is hoped rest a4i treatment will restore her re.son The unfortunate woman fears imag- mary foes, is cratic, refuses to eat, and claims she is following religious precepts.
 This is in indeed a sad case, one which elicits the sympathy ofthe gen, eral public and appesls to the better instincts of mankind, for by .h;s un fortunate malsdy three chillren are bereft of a mothers blessings and forced to become charges upon the charitable world. The eldest Of the trio-all girls-is in Csiiforuia. while the younger ones are in Lowell and have been placed temporarily Tn care Of MT. Fred Hedburg, who is named by the probate court as gu ,rdian
 While referring to this particular case, the PRosPECToR feels that is not amiss to direct the attention of the legislative assembly, now in ses- sion, to the fact that Arizona has made no provision for the care or maintenance of such deserving de- pc ndents.

Construction of the
 Gambling Law

The probintivs laF in regard 10 gambling, and just now being put into effect, is worrying some people as "a the breadth and scope of the A.. \ querry put to District Alton Williams brought forth the followirc concise Interpretation of the anti gambling law, A perusai of which may prove of material benefit to the reader. MT. Williams said
 "The law is broad and sweeping in its scope, and makes it a penal of-- iense for any person to gamble in any form whatsoever. This includes all forms of card playing where drinks, cigars. or anything of value is bet or waged by the players upon the issue of the game; or where any obligation is created, by the issue 1.-the game, upon any person participating to part with anything of value; or where, cOntin- gent upon the issue ot the game. any person receives anything of value. Following the same rule of interpre- tation, the law prohibits all games Of dice. and also embraces within its scope of prohibition the playing oi slot machines, matching of coins, and ! all pool and billiard games in which ! the loser becomes obligated to pay the ! fee charged for the use oi the table And, broadly speaking, any and all ! io-#- ui games IT contest. '" z ati i l skIli or chance, upon the result Q! wvich any wager IS made, or contiI = ! gent upon the result of which any oh- | ligstion arises, either to part with o' receive anything of value by any oLe participating ii the game.
 This Act does not prohibit any game ot billiards, pool. bowling, or any oi the games usually played fer amusement, when the participants in the game each. pays his own proper proportion of the fee charged for the table. alley, or other device, by means oi which the game is played
 When asked what position the dis
 trict attorneys office would take with
 reference to tine enforcement 0. tA,
 law, Mr. Williams replied:
 ''The policy of the office will be |,
 prosecute, without fear or favor, every
 violation of the Act. IL is the law
 and its provisions w.il he enforced Vi !
 the same rigor as are the provision,
 of every other penal statute.'
