Bradley Favors Present Number.
Bradley recalled the O'Neil case on
the east side. where the maid was
bound and gagged one Sunday night.
He told of getting word from the tel
cphone operator, and of going out ON
the street and hunting up police
man; of going to the O'Neil home,
whore they found the woman bound
and gagged and the home ransacked
Tho mayor then expressed himself
as being in favor Of cutting down the
Ollie, force five or six men, under
certain conditions. He declared that
in the future he intended to work
thru the sherff's office, using the
sheriff and his aids to assist him In
the law enforcement. Several weeks
of the policemen into the city Offices
and ordered him to go around town
and get a list of the places whore
gambling devices were being Operat.
cd. Several complaints had come to
his Office, that gambling was going
on inside the city, and he intended
to get list of the places, and take
/ the patrol out and confiscate the
gambling paraphernalia. Up to tn,
present time the officer had made NJ
sort of report to him.
And What Is This?
Bradley and StickIen insisted upor
knowing where the gambling was 20
ing on, and Sticklen wanted to know
why the complaints were not brough
in "and filed in the proper form,
adding, 1--WE have right to know
in this council what is going on
Methods of persuasion were uset

len in an attempt to find out who thu
complaints were made by, and where
the gambling was supposed to be go
ing on, each stoutly insisting tina
they did not believe there was an,
gambling going on inside the city
The mayor evidently wished to vcri
fly his complaints and see that som'
sort of action was taken against thu
law infractors before the complaint
were made public. Bradley offered t.
go out last night and soc that al
the gaming devices were turned to thu
