 Chinese gambling den in Morenci was raided by Sheriff Slaughter and deputies on Wednesday night by clever ruse, one negro and two Mexi- cans who were running the games be- ing taken into custody together with all the money and paraphernalia in sight. The men arrested in the raid are Clarence Morgan, Toriciano Tor res and Frank Gigola. The raid was made by Sheriff Slaughter and Depu- ty Moore of Clifton and Deputy Hill of Morenci.
 The officers had attempted to take the place in for some time but it was so well guarded by lookouts that an entrance was almost impossible. The officers, however, finally struck a SjReme that worked to perfection and the raid came off without hitch. Sheriff Slaughter and Deputy Moore to Morenci on Wednesday evening and in company with Depu- ty Hill proceeded to make up for the part they were to play. They array ed themselves in old greasy clothes with caps pulled well down over their eyes, and with candle sticks and din ner pails in their hands they made the visit to the joint at II o'clock as the night shift were coming off duty. They passed the first lookout going down the narrow alley in safety and a second was encountered and also passed without trouble, the officers not being. recognized in their working clothes, and they walked into the place without molestatfon.
 It seems that if anyone passed the first lookout who looked suspicious, tine watcher pressed button which notified the gamblers inside to be prepared for his coming. By the time the person reached the gambling joint there was no evidence in sight and all he could see would be friendly game of cards with no stakes, and only by the means employed by the officers on the occasion of the raid could they have gained admittance.
 After watching the stud and monte games for few minutes without their presence being noticed Sheriff Slaugh- ter told the operators that they were under arrest, and more surprised bunch would be hard to find. The money, chips and cards were dump ed into sacks and brought to Clifton where the three prisoners were lock ed up. The men were tried before Judge Lally at Morenci on Thursday afternoon when they were fined $100 each, the fines of the MeXicans being remitted, Morgan having to pay his fine of $100 and costs of $26.
