Lite from the Lost River tin mine, the
neat sum of according to tesfci- !
mom given by him in tin* commis* ,
sion’s court against W. R. Anderson,
who was arrested late last week on a ;
gambling charge based on information
laid by Ariole before District Attor
ney J. M. Clements. Anderson plead
guilty to the charge and whs fined
$400 by Commissioner O’Neill.
Aiiole’s tale of sad misadventure
was vivid with references to “fouis”,
••full houses” and “royal flushes,
with the latter seemingly always in
some one rise's hand. An added touch
of interest was also given to the
hearing by the declaration of the wit
ness that he was given to under
stand by his gambling associates
that the game in which they wre
interested would not be molested by
the authorities. Some of them told
him, ho said, that there was no clan
ger of u raid as “the old man was nil
right.” The witness said he under
stood “the old man” to mean District
Attorney Clements.
Questioned regarding the details of
his participation in the “little friend
ly game," Ariole said he* won $•!() the
first night he played, but after that
| Dame Fortune forsook him, despite
i “full houses” on various occassic ns.
“Holding hands like that, how was
it that you did not win,” queried the
district attorney.
“Oh.” the witness replied, “when I
had fours, the other fellow had a royal
flush.”
According to Ariole’s recital, he
! bet heavily on his big hands hut the
1 royal flush holders invariably b at
him to the pot. Under examination
the witness admitted he s us pec » d
that someone stacked the cards on
1 him.
At the conclusion of Ariole’s testi
| mony Judge Clements denied the im
I putation that he condoned gambling
in any form and stated that he \.as
in possession of further evidence
bearing on the case but was undec id
ed as to its future just at that time
there by indicating a possible dc ter
mination to display to some of his
I gaming commentor’s that their cl cim
' that he was “all right” might he all

the imputation acrainst the district

LONDON, July 28— R. L Pocock,
curator of mammals to the London
Zoological Society, has discovered
what he says is a “great hoax upon
the Americans who for more than 400
years have believed they had badgers
on their continent.” An American bad
ger, brought here to make an in
structive comparision,” was put in a
cage with some British badgers. The
British badgers slept all day, the
American badger all night. Dr. Po
cock investigated and decided the Am
erican animal was neither badger,
skunk, stoat, nor weasel. He said its
skull, and teeth were “wrong” for
a badger, it lacked the scent gland,
and its resemblance to the badger was
so superficial he considered it of a
totally different “tribe.”
