 Arrests Made Speedily.
 shortly after g o'clock insuuecto soldiers of the Juarez' garrison sur rounded the six gambling houses Of the city. Doors were guarded, and not only the employees of the places but the frequenters were held prisoners. The first place to be officially confis. cated was The Casino a house To. eated on Calle Comercio, the princi- pal street of the city This place was run by Jacob TOuche, the Turk mo- torious promoter of games, and for many years sharer in the federal gamtling concessions in the state Of Chihuahua.

 orozco in Charge.
 In charge Of the proceedings was General Orozco himself, uniformed and quiet as ever. He was accom- panied by Luis S. Elizcndo, private secretary to Governor Gonzales. Col onel Estrada, in charge of the Juarez garrison, and s. Vargas, state zax collector at Ciudad Juarez.

Governor Gonzales. then chief of the [ second military zone, according to in- surrecto military plan, promised that an gambling which had had no con. | cession previous to the date of the ! revolution's beginning. would not be i permitted by the state government { lie ruled that the keno and the race J track had 0 former concession, which would allow these to run, but no oth- CTS.
