EYE SIGHT IS
SUDDENLY LOST

Charles Jackman, painter and trick
artist, was yesterday doing some
vanishing in the Palace Barber Shop,
when he noticed that he could not see
out of his right eye. The knowledge
came to him suddenly and he was
non-plussed for the time being to
know what was the matter He
thought at first something had gotten
into his eye, but when he went 10 n
physician for examination, the ply
sicion told him that he had suddenly
been stricken blind in that eye.
He has been thoroughly examined
by his physician and the latter states
that there is a cataract forming. He
cannot see a thing from the afflicted
eye, but he thinks that he has strain
ed his eye badly and with complete
trest of that member his eyesi ght may
return.
Mr.. Jacl<man had not noticed that
, anything was the matter with his
leye, save that il has been giving him
some little pain during the past week.
This had often occurred before and
he did not pay any attention to the
afflicted member. Yesterday he was
looking upward toward the ceiling in
the Palace shop, when the affIiction
came upon him suddenly.
The many friends of MIR. Jackman
are expressing their deep sympathy
for him in this sudden affliction.

Perpetual Sunshine.

The time OF year is now at hand
when the continual sunshine in this
valley prevails. this intense light to.
gether with the peculiar reflections
from the ground causes uncomfort-
able and annoying eye troubles,
headaches, etc. In a great majority
OF cases an error of refraction is the
primary cause and the intense light
serves TO aggravate the troubles. II
your eyes annoy you and give you
pain, call upon Chas. Gasho, OPTIC
metrist, in the Reed block. and have
him examine your eyes.

Some weeks ago a peeping Tom
frightened residents in the southern
part of the city; but this time the
district in which the individual was
seen was in the northeast part of
town.
Saturday night very late two
turned TO the home occupied by the
two families after spending the even
ing at a social gathering. They had
been in the house but a little time
when one of the ladies' noticed that
man was standing on the lawn,
gazing into the window. She watched
him for some time. and then moved
into another room and saw that he
moved also. She then silently moved
into still another room where her
husband was and told him of the
peeping Tom.
The husband aroused the other
gentleman in the house. and then
arming himself started out into the
yard to interview the intruder; but.
by mistake, the other gentleman in
the house touched the switch work
ing the electric light on the porch
and the flaring up of this light
frightened the man, who thought he
was unobserved, and he started on a
run Just as the angry householder
came upon the porch with his revol-
yer. and the pepper made his geta-
way. There is no question but what
he had been stealthily prowling about
the home, gazing into the windows,
for some time before he was discoy-
cred.
There are reports of other visits
made by this peeping Tom.

THE GAMBLERS ARE CONVICTED
CONTINUED from page one.)

alone on the testimony of J. w.
Shultz and l.. l.. Hoodenpyle, the men
employed by the city to work up the
cases. 1t is more than probable that
a disagreement would have been the
result
The conviction of the four men was
expected. The evidence of the of
Ulcers who made the raid last Sunda
night and who found the game in
progress proved conclusively that the
defendants were guilty as charged.
There is good reason to believe
that had the five defendants who
were tried last Thursday on the
charge of gambling been arraigned on
the charge of indulging in a gambling
game on the night of Sunday, June
20, and the chief evidence of the
prosecution been confined to the tes-
timony of the officers who made the
raid. as was done in the trial Sat
urday, and had not the prosecution
depended in the first case mainly and
almost entirely upon the evidence of
the "spotters,' a conviction would
have resulted. However, at the trial
last Thursday these officers did not
give testimony and so loathe were the
jurors to convict on the testimony of
ShultZ and Hoodenpyle that the first
ballot taken by the purors in the
first gambling trial as to the guilt or
innocence of the accused resulted in
10 votes for acquittal and for con-
viction, followed by many other bal
lots with votes for convictions pre-
dominating in the latter ballots but
with no result, as the jury never did
agree.
a most important ruling of the
court as to the instructions in the
cases on Saturday would have made
conviction on the unsupported evil
dence given by Shultz and Hooden-
pyle practically impossible.
Judge Sullivan, overruling vigor-
Gus protests made by the deputy dis
trict attorney, instructed the jury
Saturday afternoon that If the jury
was convinced from the evidence that
the defendants had been enticed into
committing crime by an agent or by
agents of the Officers then they must
acquit the defendants.
While the deputy district attorney
takes exceptions to the rulings of the
court in this matter, other lawyers
today declare that the court is abso-
lutely right in this ruling and that
the state supreme court has held that
jury must be so instructed in such
cases.
The closing arguments of the at
torneys were made Saturday even
ing and were very able and most Wig
orous.
No appeal will be taken in the
cases and the four defendants, three
of whom are negroes and one of
whom is a Mexican. will be sentenced
today or tomorrow.
Probably tomorrow other gambling
cases or bootlegging cases will be
taken up.
The conviction of the four men on
Saturday was a triumph for Deputy
District Attorney McClintock who has
charge of all the prosecutions of the
alleged gamblers and bootleggers.
1t is said that only one ballot was
taken by the jury.
The defendants have been in Jail
ever since their arrest being unable
to give bond.
This is the first conviction secured
in the gambling and bootlegging
cases. Two previous trials resulted
| in disagreements by the juries.

A most pitiful spectacle was MOTTO
ed on South Fifth street yesterday
morning, involving the neglect of n
dumb brute that had been frightfully
injured and whoever is responsible
for the neglect deserves condemna-
tion. Saturday evening a lot of cat
tie was being loaded at the stock
yards on South Fifth street. A COW
straying away from the herd got onto
the railroad track and in some man
ner caught her foot between the rails
and in struggling the whole hoof was
torn off. II is said that the attention
of some of the men at the yards was
called to the condition of the COW but
she was allowed TO wander about all
night long, suffering great agony.
Next morning resident on South
Fifth street notified the police but
before an officer arrived one of the
cattlemen came down and the suffer
ing animal was forced to walk some
distance to n vacant lot where she
was shot to death. She should have
been killed the evening before and
spared intense suffering that must
have resulted from the tearing off of
the hoof.
