MICHIGAN MAN DROPS ROLL
Gets Into a Friendly Game of Cards
with Strangers on Train.
EYES ARE OPENED TOO LATE
Ttto of the f.nna Arrested, bait the
One Who Haa thee Victim's
Money Drops OtT Trala
and Kscunes.
John R. Santo of Travers City, Mich., of
which clly he was formerly mayor, waa In
duced to "sit In" with three strangers at
a game of cards on a Northwestern pas
senger train Tuesday night. Euchre was
the game played, but bets were made on
poker hands. Santo thought he held an ex
ceptionally good poker hand at one point
In the game and In fact he had a straight
flush, queen high. One nf the strangers,
however, also held a straight flush, which
was king high. Santo dropped of which
1126 was In cash and $100 was represented
by a draft.
By the time the train had reached Coun
cil Bluffs Santo had become convinced that
he played the role of a "Mike" and that
the three stranger had stacked the card
on him. Nearlng Council Bluff Santo de
cided to take the bull by the horn, so to
apeak, and Tie accused the men of robbing
him. He threatened them with arrest If
they did not return his money.
The strangers did not look at the matter
In the same light that the former chief ex
ecutive of Travers City did and they so
Informed him. "You lost your money
straight enough," they said and refused to
hand over. One of the trio, whose name Is
said to have been Palmer and who 1 be
lieved to have secured Santo' money,
dropped oft the train before tt pulled Into
the depot.
At the depot Santo called to Patrolman
Sklpton, who was on the platform, and
requested that the other two men be ar
rested, as they had, he told the officer,
robbed him. At the suggestion of the of
ficer all three went to police headquarters,
where the men ccused by Santo were
placed under arrest. They gave the name
of Jainea Collins and David Scott. Collins,
when searched, was found to have $28 In
his pockets, but Scott could only produce
SO cents. A charge of gambling waa placed
against the men.
letter In the day 'at a hearing before
Judge Snyder In police court Scott waa dis
charged, aa there was no evidence to show
that he had done any betting, and the fact
that he only possessed 60 cents was taken
as corroboratory evidence in his behalf.
Collins' hearing waa continued until Satur
day and he was later released on bond.
In telling bis troubles to Major Richmond,
chief of police. Santo said I hat after ho
had dropped $175 he felt yinty certain that
he was being fleeced, but inude the last
bat of $50 In order to le i.ure.
When Santo and the three stranger
started playing It was, so .Santo was told,
to be only a "friendly" game to while away
the time. The game, iiowev.;r, hud not
proceeded any length of time before on of
the trio discovered he held what he termed
"a peach of a poker hand." Strange to
say, Santo also found that he had been
dealt what would have been a good hand at
the old American game of draw poker.
The man who first discovered hfe held a
good poker hand was willing to bet on It.
Santo was willing to back his hand. It
was the same old story Santo lost and the
stranger won.

DES MOINES. March 4.-(Speclal.)-8ena-tor
W. D. Jamleson of Page county re
lgned a state senator today. Vp to a
few day ago he waa of a mind not to re
sign, but to remain here until near the
dose of the month and then go to Wash
ington to take his seat In . congress. Ha
went home during the recess snd the mat
ter of having a special election called to
fill th vacancy waa canvassed and It wa
the general opinion of leader of both
parties that evon If Jamleson should re
sign now It would not be Justifiable to
have a special election, for hi sucoeaaor
could not take his seat until about ten
daj-a before the end of tho session. He
afto took counsel of the attorney general,
who advised that the matter of calling a
special election wa not obligatory upon
th governor. Senator Jamleson therefor
resigned today and will take his seat In
congress ss representing the Eighth dis
trict. In about ten days.
The senator, In view of the resignation
of Jamleson. permitted him to call up and
have pa Med his bill to permit the railroad
commission to authorise railroads to make
the short haul rate at competing points.
It was rwssed. 3T to 1.
Caucus I llnsnereasf al.
The house democrats held a caucus at
noon to consider what should be their at
titude toward the prohibitory amendment
to the constitution. It was called for the
purpose of securing , united party action
against the resolution looking to resub
mission, and a number of warm speeches
were made for and against the proposal.
It was found that three or four of the
democratic members were so pledged that
they could not well vote to refuse to per
mit the voters to pass on the question.
In view of this the caucus adjourned with
out an agreement and It Is known that
some of the democrats will vote to put
the liquor question into politics once more,
lightened I'p on l.lqnor Sales.
The senate passed a bill by Hammill to
require that the blanks on which applica
tion is made for liquor at drug stores shall
be furnished by the county auditor and
bear a facsimile of his signature and be
numbered and recorded so that the stats
will have accurate knowledge as to liquor
sales by permit holders. A provision In
the bill to have the county clerk sign these
blanks waa stricken out. An effort wa
mad to put Into the blank a statement that
the Intending purchaser ha not taken the
liquor cure, but this failed on a tie vote.
The house passed a bill regarding assign
ment of life Insurance policies, a bill re
garding proof of death In insurance cases,
and a bill relating to entrance to the
School for the Deaf, o that Indigent per
sons may not bo deprived of education.
Tn the senate Quigley Introduced a reso
lution memorializing congress tn relation
to protection ot f tab In inland waters. '
Reform of the Ballot last,
The senate committee, on election prom
ises to take up 'and consider this week
some Important bills, relating to the form
of ballots. The Psterson bill provides for
rotation on the primary ballot and It I
agreed on all hand that the recommenda
tion of the biennial message for a provision
of the law In thla regard must bs followed.
Tho Peterson bill is to provide for rotation
of names, making, a chaiige for every 100
ballot printed. Representative Lee 1 con
vinced that thla would be too expensive a
plan and so he has prepared a bill which
removes the Inequalities In this way: On
state candidates a change in certifying out
to the various counties So that In the state
as a whole each candidate haa hi name
first as often as any other; on county and
district offices a rotation by precincts to
accomplish the same end. It Is believed
this change will not Involve any expense
sufficient to make it objectionable.
A bill Is being prepared which will require
telegraph company to transmit and put
