peals Case to District Court--.
One Cane Continued
Two Alliance men were arraigned
la Police Magistrate Roberts court
"Wednesday to answer charges of
tumbling following an attempted
Mid made by Chief Jeffera on a game
aeld at a private home In Alliance
Monday night One man, at whose
aome the gambling is alleged to hare
taken place, plead not guilty and
asked for a continuance, which was
granted.
Another, charged with gambling
n)ead not guilty and a preliminary
eating was held. Mr. Jeffers was
the only witness examined. The de
fendant refused to make any state
ment preferring to fight the case in
. the district court, and Judge Roberts
fined him ten dollars and costs. An
appeal was made to the district court
ad bond furnished.
Chief Jeffers says that he susplc
lened a game was being planned
when he saw the men grouped In one
el the pool halls. He watched them
aad a few minutes later the one at
whose home the game took place
went to one of the local stores and
sought four decks of cards. The
ehlef then went to the Ticlnlty of the
Stan's home and waited, and In a
short time the bunch he had been
watching arrived.
Having other business that needed
immediate attention, he left, but re
timed at 10:65 and watched the
progress of the game through a crack
la the curtain for twenty-five min
utes. Then he went to the door and
knocked for admission telling them I
who he was but he received no reply.
He broke open the storm door, which
was fastened with a hook, and tried
the inner door but it1 was locked.
Going back to the window he
watched a little while longer and
states that the boys changed the
game from poker to casatno or some
similar game. While previously they
had played quietly as though to pre
vent the possibility of any outsider
hearing, now they became loud and
aolBtrous. When they left, the house
ae walked out from the corner of the
aulldlng and down the street with
them and told them to appear in po
lice court the next morning. The re
ply was to the effect that he had
nothing on them, and if he wanted
them he had better get warrants, and
this is what he did.
The defendant charged with gam
Ming who has appealed the case to
the district court did bo on the ad
vice of his attorney, E. H. Boyd, this
eing done with the Idea In view that
it would be difficult to secure a con
viction before a Jury on one man's
testimony.
According to the city ordinances
te penalty for gambling In Alliance
if, a fine of from 1 10 to $100. How
ever, it Is said that this ordinance
conflicts with the state statute which
makes gambling a penitentiary of
fense with a term of not less than
ae year.

READY FOR THE SHOW
Hmlth and Duckies Are Both In Flat?
Trim and Ileady to Meet In
the Hquared Circle
Ouy Buckles, the Omaha "pbe-
nom", arrived Wednesday morning
on 41. He took a good long rest at
the Alliance Hotel and says he is la
the very best of condition for his
ten-round show with Tommy Smitk
Friday night.
Buckles coines well recommended
with clippings from some of the most
prominent newspapers in the coun
try. Having boxed at Memphis,
Tenn., New Orleans, Kansas City, St.
Louts, Omaha and other large cities
and In each place having met nomt .
of the best men In the buxlnous, he
naturally comes to Alliance with the
vxpectations of a win over Smltn.
Those who have seen Buckles la
action say he is a man who carries
the fight to his opponent all the time
and never backs up a step, let the
mix-up be ever so fast. We feel that
when he meets Tommy Smith he will
break all records for breaking ground
before the onslaught of Smith, who
Is a fellow that expects his opponents
to break ground for him onc. In a
while at least.
Tommy Smith Is a Nebraska boy
and formerly lived In this city. He
has n et all comers since breaking in
to the boxinc ?ame. and has held hi
own ever sffice, losing but one battle,
and that bel:i n di-Ulon against bins
wheu he met Tommy McCarthy for
the first time. Smith claims that thl
bout would have been different had
he realiti'd what kind of a boy he
was up againat. He Is a good cleaa'
boxer and In all hia contests haa
proven hlnwlf a gentleman. Though
he goes In to win, still he hesitates
about taking an unfair advantage or
an opponent. If the boxing game
had more men In It like Tommy
Smith It conld not help but tbrlv
throughout the whole world.
Smith has been training carefully
for this contest tomorrow night and
says if hfc does not win, It will not be
because 'Tie has not prepared for It.
He has done hla gyninanlum work at
