POOL HALL HELD
GAMBLING HOUSE
JUDGE SHERWOOD FINES PRO-
PRlETOR BECAUSE LOSERS
PAID FOR THE USE OF =
TABLES.

Pierre, S. D.-Judge Sherwood of
Watertown has certainly started
something in a decision in a case
brought before him from Elrod.
Clark county. He holds in effect that
under the penal statutes of South Da-
kota, the proprietor of a pool hall
who allows his patrons to play pool
in his building, the loser to pay for
the game, is conducting a gambling
house, and he imposed a sentence Of
a fine of $500 and four months in
Jail on George c. Griffin, who enter
ed a plea of guilty to allowing kelly
pool" TO be played in his place. If
such a decision should be sustained
by the supreme court in case of APP
peal it would meal a decided change
in the manner of conducting pool
rooms in this state. The same rule
would no doubt apply to the card
rooms which are maintained in con-
nection with cigar stores all over the
state, and as a matter of fact that
very question has been raised in Nc
Cook county, and will probably be
tested. The Arkansas supreme court
in IA last brought to them in that
state, held that such games were
gambling and sustained a fine, and
the whole matter will no doubt he
tested out in the supreme court of
this state before it is settled.

FOR LIVELY TIME HERE
ON NATIONS BIRTHDAY.

Business men are %canyassing the
streets today in an effort to raise a
fund sufficient to stage one of the
best celebrations in the state in this
city July 4th. 1t is almost beyond
the memory of the oldest citizen of
this city when the Nationals birth
day was last celebrated here. In
fact it has become almost a common
saying that this city is a dead II on
that day. There seems to he lots of
encouragement given the %canvassfng

the city awake and in it's right mind
and entertaining a throng of visitors
from nearby towns in the real Nit

Scotland. S. D.-The rapidity with
which veterans of the civil var are

land, which years ago had II of
the largest G. A. r.. posts in South

the war of the rebellion makes his
home in Scotland. He is A. r.
