rested and held as witnesses. Ser
geant Sowcll and Policemen Gentry
Vest and MCGOWAN, who were the Off
GERS to raid the room, caught the whole
party indulging in game of poker
officer Gentry took the money intended
to pay for some chips out of the mouth
of one of the players,
When the officer grabbed the money
the gambler passed his hand. and the
others passed theirs In turn, for the
cards had Just been dealt: -Four aces
or q royal straight flush could not
have brought greater CONSERVATION
into the camp than the appearance of
the bluecoats. There was little in the
pot-not very much-as one had just
been won and passed over, and the
officers grabbed everything In sight.
1t is said that they captured hundreds
OF cards and innumerahle chips, all
of which We're confiscated.
Hnd Literary Club.
Charles Eacho, according to the min
lltes Of the first meeting of the club,
the Leo Social and Literary Club. on

u.
Hicks is named as president and Ben
jamin Philbates Is named as vtce-pres-
ident. The board of directors includes
these officers. w. Childress and Thos.
l.. Ferguson.
AT its original meeting. according to
the same book from which the names
of the officers and of the board of
directors are taken, motion was
made to furnish such things as were
needed, and arrangements were also
made to secure license to sell to-
bacco and cigars. and such other
things as are in compliance with the
law
The officers who made the raid also
charged Eacho with selling liquor
without a license, and 1t remains to

ance with the law
Three Manage to Skip.
There Were several doors through
which entrance could be made TO the
club. 1t Is alleged. and all of them
were guarded. But even with the
strong guard placed around the house
and the room in which the players
are alleged to have had their little
game. three of the players escaped.
which We're three in number The Lee
Social and Literary Club seemed to
be having a good night. and the room
was. apparently. full. The cards were
being dealt around as The policemen
entered, but no man opened the pot.
The pot remained as II was. and the
players. with the exception OF the
three who had presence of mind
enough to escape, remained as they
were. The officers grabbed the pot
and the cards and chips. That. ended
the game fer the night.
AS to the charge of selling liquor
without n license against Eacho. 1t
is said that each man had his own
liquor in his locker. and it appears
doubtful whether any liquor was real
ly sold in the alleged gambling Joint.
All the hooks. minutes and registers
of the members were found by the
police. and will be produced as evil
dence in Police Court this morning.
