AFTER MIGRANTS.

ed quartet of colored gentlemen
and had them booked at the county
jail on vagrancy charges. These
folks are not all strangers in police
circles in Ely some of them having
done time on different charges. Sew
eral weeks ago, Howard Lawrence
was fined for carrying a concealed
weapon and served part of his SEN
tence. when some of his friends rails
ed the balance needed to have him
released As far as the marshal
knows, Lawrence has no visible
means of making living worth men
tioning. Kitty Bloom. who also
is member of the gang, informed
the marshal that he can make liy-
ing without working. The fact that
he is living shows that he is telling
the truth. for they say he hasn't
done a tap of work since he has been
in the district. John Weber. col
ored. lives in the red light district
out of Salt Lake from which place
he came here John Chatham, the
fourth member of the quartet. was
convicted sometime ago fOf carrying
concealed weapons and was doing

home stating that his mother was
very sick Mayor Clark recommend
ed that he be released SO that he
could be with his mother during her
last hours He was released and
went to Ogden. but soon floated back
to Ely. Marshal Hudgens informed

that this bunch is only starter for
He says that this class of people, be
they white or black. will have to get
out of town or else go to Jail and If
possible will see that they are put
to work on the streets IL he can Sc
cure their conviction.

LICENSE ARREST.

Martin Knenezvich. who is assoei-
ated with Tom Sodoloyich in the sa-
loon business at Riepetown. was ar
rested yesterday charged with con-
Quoting a gambling game without
license. Judge Flannery, of Riepe
town, held kneneZyich to appear be-
fone the grand jury and put him
under $500 bonds The charge on
which he was arrested was preferred
by the district attorney, who says
that anyone found conducting any
gambling game without license will
be bound over to appear before the
grand jury and that he will prosecute
without fear or favor. Persons con-
Quoting business without a license
will accordingly be given every
chance to explain matters TO the
grand jury. and no exceptions will
be made to this ruling. Those hav-
ing the collection of licenses will be
held responsible if they do not attend
to their duties in this regard, is the
way the district attorney expressed
himself

pened. he had his watch as we'll as
other articles taken from him
The holdup had no more than ia
ken place when Officer Norman was
at the scene of the trouble. After
ascertaining that Price was not seri-
ously hurt, the officer commenced
/ looking for the man who committed
the robbery. 1t did not take long
for the officer to size up the situa-
ton and il took less time to get the
holdup man under arrest.
The man accused of doing the job
Is David Wier. When he was placed
under arrest in the Capitol saloon.
he denied having had anything to do
with the robbery, but when Moor
man attempted to search him he be-
gan to show fight This availed him
nothing. the search being made and
the tell tale watch found on him.
Wier. who has been around Ely for
over two years. has spent great
portion of his time in jail. but no
charge as serious as the one for
which he was arrested yesterday

had entered her home. pried the lock
off her trunk and stolen $50 in cur
