 REST OF SENTENCE

According to advices received by City Attorney Fred Sutter yesterday. Frank Schmidt. the Lowell saloonist, will have to serve out the remainder of his sentence in the county jail on a charge of gambling. The supreme court at Phoenix affirmed the decision of the jury which tried the case at Tombstone.
 The case created unusual interest several months ago as the first test of the anu-gambling law recently enacted. Schmidt's came about as the result of disclosures made through the efforts of Constable Bailey and Deputy Sheriff B. W. Norton At the time of the jury's verdict Schmidt was locked up and served about half his sentence. in addition to paying 6 heavy fine.
 When the case was appealed Schmidt was released under bond. but now must go back and serve out the remainder of his sentence. When the supreme court decision was made known to him he immediately packed up and made ready to go to Tomb stone on the afternoon train.
