oreoory County GAMBLING stops.

Gregory Times.AdvoCate: Last week
states Attorney Mcdonnell issued the
order that all forms of gambling and
games of chance must stop, not only
in Gregory, but in the whole county
The order was quite surprise to
many especially to those engaged in
running gambling houses. This order
was caused largely by the fact that II
week ago prize fight was pulled on
in this city at the hour of a. M, and
after the principals and promoters had
promised States Attorney Mcdonnell
that the contest would be declared off
and that the fight would not take
place. II will be remembered that the
principals were arrested the afternoon
before the fight, but were allowed their
freedom on their promise and the
promise OF some OF the promoters that
the fight would not take place. About
3 o'clock In the morning largecrowd
gathered in the Auditorium and the
match was pulled off. The fellows
that pulled off the stunt thought they
had slipped one over the states attor-
ney. But when his orders went forth
that all gambling must stop and that
the promoters as well as principals of
the match were liable to prosecution
to the full extent of the law, they were
not quite so jubilant. In fact, no one
will acknowledge that he was there.
Mr.. Mcdonnell is being congratulate.
ed on all sides for the determined
stand he has taken, and those who
know him know that he means every
word he says, and that gambling and
prize fighting are thing of the past in
this county as long as he is states at.

A Spotter in the Saloon.

Ainsworth Democrat: Pat Holleran
proprietor of the Parlor Car saloon at
Casper Wyom., has filed suit against
sum of $4,000 against the Northwest.
ern railroad company.
Mr.. Holleran states that man
named Pepperdine secured employ.
iuent in his place of business and got
into his confidence by claiming to
come from GAINESVILLE, Wis, and know.
ing many of Mr.. Holleran's old friends.
1t is claimed that Pepperdine was a
spotter for the Northwestern railroad
and that he took the job under instruc
tions from his superiors. He confessed
that the railroad people were watch
ing the Parlor Car to see that tickets
were not bought and sold there. AS
soon as some of the railroad men be.
gan to get fired here, Holleran sus
pected his bartender of doing the work
and accused him of being a spotter
Finally the man confessed and told
before witnesses that he was sent
there by officials of the road to watch
the local railroad employees and the
proprietor of the saloon. 1t was found
that he had pried open the top of Mr.
Holleran's private desk and had gone
through his private papers and also
reported every employee of the road
who came inside the doors.
In view of all this underhand work
Mr.. Holleran asks the company to pay
him $25,SOO for the consequent loss OF
business on account of their low-lived
spotter being employed there and foi
the humiliation of being spied upon by
a railroad detective.
