SHERIFF SWOOPS
DOWN ON ALLEGED
GAMBLING HOUSE
EARLY NIGHT VISIT OF Off.
GALS STOPPED ALLEGED
GAMING, BUT NO ONE WAS
ARRESTED IN THE HOUSE.

Recognition on the part Of negro
turnkey" is possibly the main reason
why number of prominent young
white men are not now charged with
either gambling, or frequenting a
gambling house, according to stories
which leaked out yesterday. The
place was in an upstairs room Of a
building on the south side of Romano
street, between Baylen and Palafox
streets, which has long been under
suspicion
Sheriff Ellis and Deputy Rice had
arranged to make raid Friday night,
and were in the act of getting a line
upon what number of young white
men in the building were doing, when
the negro, recognizing the officers, II
is said, gave the signal, and every
thing was Gin applepie order" it was
stated, when the officers reached the
scene thereafter.
No arrests were made, but if there
haq oeen any gambling going on IN
the upper room of the building sus-
pected, the game was called off fol
the balance of Friday night.
While there were no arrests made
that does not mean that there will
not be, as it was industriously rumor-
ed last night that the names of from
twelve to twenty alleged nlavers were
in the hands of the county prosecutor
and that arrests are looked for with
in day or two.
During the past several weeks, it Is
reported, gambling has been goinp
on in the city at several points and
considerable complaint had been made
These complaints, it is said, haC
reached the ears of officials, and the
attempt to catch those in the house
and those in charge of the house
which was made Friday NIGHT, is {
direct outcome of these complaints.

FOUR CALLS FOR THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT

Four calls were burned in for the
fire department yesterday and up to
an early hour this morning. But one
fire resulted in any damage to speak
of. This was at 1882 o'clock this
morning, when a small negro church
at the corner of Fourteenth avenue
and Belmont street was totally de-
stroyed.
At 11:55 o'clock yesterday morn
ing the home of Henry Captain, al
