Marshal’s Deputies Raided New Billiard Rooms
TEN MEN WERE TAKEN
IN RAID MADE LAST NIGHT
Last night about ten o’clock when
the new officers were riding the
goat in one lodge, and the reet ot
the town was taking in the Million
Dollar Mystery, four deputies from
the Marshal’s Office sallied fortn
themselves to see what had to be
seen. They were about as quiei
about it as a Gorman regiment
storming a trench through a gas
fog, and when they entered the
Arctic billiard parlors, formerly the
Windsor, they were amazed to be
hold a number of men playing cards
with chips representing' certain
values in trade. They immediately
annexed, chipa and men, and guard
ed them up to tho Bastile while one
of the Deputies wentN after the Com
missioner to get the cases in proper
form and to allow or not allow
bail.
The officials in charge of the raid
wore Deputies Holland, Miller, Reed
and. Tyrell. The men were taken
into chstody charged with gamb
ling, the alleged delinquents being
Ed Johnson, A. C. Laird, Chas Ma
son, B. Garnard, Alfred Pearson,
Frank Cavids, John Novosel, Nick
Scorlicb, A. Hanson, N. B. Nolson
The men were accomodated in the
receiving room of the Federal Jail
while the Commissioner arranged
the preliminaries of the case.
Neither prisoners nor marshals
seemed in any way perturbed by
the unusual occurrence, and some
of the old timers found occasion to
indulge in a levity of conversation
not usually associated with the grin:
surroundings of bolts and bars.
Later the entire quota taken into
custody repaired to the Commission
er's Court where Judge Frawlcy sei
bail at $200 for Ed Johnson, A. C.
Laird, Nick Scorlich, John Novorxi
and another, while for the rest it
was set at fifty dollars per.
