Entrance was effected by smashing in the basement windows. On entering the | raiding party were confronted by Can-! field, who has just returned from a trip | to Providence, R. I, and who protested | that the house was simply his prlvate‘ residence and that had he known that any suspicion of gambling attached to it he would willingly have admitted the au- thorities at any time. A search of the house showed that the lower floors were vacant and unfurnished. When they as- cended to the next floor their attention was attracted by a panel wall which was i protected with stout steel plating. When this had been battered in, after about half | an hour’s hard work with a sledge ham- mer, the police say they discovered a| large number of checks, with roulette | wheels ‘and other gambling apparatus. Canfleld and half a dozen men Wwho were found with him in the house, all in whom were in evening dress, were ar- rested and taken to the police station. The raid was made on evidence secured by a detective employed by the District Attorney’'s office. It was said to-night that it was doubtful whether this man could identify Canfleld as having been concerned in any actual gambling opera- tions in the house. The raid caused the most intense ex- citement in the vicinity, and enormous crowds gathered while the police were} breaking their way in. The captain of | the precinct in ‘which the house was lo- ! cated was in ignorance of the raid until | all was over, when he arrived at the head of a squad of men in time to es- | cort the wagon containing the captured paraphernalia back to the station-house. That the raid had been anticipated for days the police feel certain. The condi- tions indicate that such was the case, for nowhere in the entire establishment, from the basement to the fourth floor, on which are Canfield's private apartments, was there any sign of recent use. It was also considered significant that Canfield’s counsel was in the house at the time the | raid was made, although Canfleld ex-| plained that he had simply *‘dropped in | for dinner.” The raid on Canfield had hardly been| finished when the police of the tenderloin precinct descended om the house in West Thirty-third street known as the “hnuse]‘ with the steel doors,” and reputed to be run as a gambling-house by Frank Far- rell. Ladders had been provided to esca- lade the second story window, but the steel front doers were found to be open | and no opposition was made to the en-| trance of the police. The lower floors of the house were found to be mag- nificently furnished, but-nothing of a sus- picious character was driscovered until, while sounding a wall on the top floor, the police captain_ discovered a secret steel door, apparently serving as a means of communication with the adjoining house. After the door had been hroken down with axes and crowbars the police en- w ft | r- S- is | 'm of to T e- to es of d, i1l at | i n- i | i of a BY LASSOING PARSON | How a Jilted Round Valley Man | Took Revenge Upon the Woman | He Loved. | MARYSVILLE, Dec. 1.—Angered by the | knowledge that in a few hours the woman | he loved would become the wife of anoth er man, Andrew Hagin of Round Valiey laid in wait on Sunday for the clergyman { | engaged to perform the ceremony, and, as | | he passed a lonely spot, lassoed him.

L—The schooner Letty is a total wreck on the beach at Port Miller, Alaska, according to private ad- vices recelved in this city from the north, The Letty was en route from Cape Nome | | to Valdes and had nineteen passengers in | | addition to her c\w. She encountered heavy weather all the way, and upon reaching Port Miller anchored until the blow should pass over. The gale strength- | || ened and finally the schooner’s anchor | chains parted. She was driven high and | || dry on the beach and at last reports was preaking up. The passengers and crew menaged to reach shore, suffering mno greater inconvenience than a thorough ducking. Not the Overdue General Siglin. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Dec. 1.— It develops that the schooner passing here last evening and which was report- ed gs the overdue schooner General Sig- lin, from Bering Sea, was not that vessel at all, but the schooner Volante, a ves-| || sel similar in size and rig. The Volante | || w'so is from the morth and was consid- erably overdue when she reached here. Captain Larsen of the schooner Annie M. Campbell and the master of the tug- | boat Dolphin both saw the Volante and mistook her for the General Siglin. —_————————— Hunter sells a $ truss that Rupture. y will cure you at 1206 Market street.

Mirs. Rose Hemingray, when seen at the Palace Hotel, said: “I saw Carlotta on Saturday before she went to the races. I did not ge, owing to my feeling ill and having to remain in bed. She kissed me and appeared most cheerful and asked me whether I would not be fonesome with no one with me.

As for any state- tents being attributed to me, all I have te.say is I really knew nothing about the shceting until told of it by Locke, the proprietor of the house. He was the first Ohe to tell me that Carlotta had shot her- self and was dead. I did not know the girl until she was brought here by Rob- ert.
