which amounts to conviction on a mis-
demeanor charge. Judge Brown said inresponse to a pica for clemency thatthe substitution of a jail penalty fora penitentiary term was all that couldbe granted. Not only did Judge Brownexpress himself as satisfied of Le Fort'sguilt, but he added
-that he believed
that Le Fort had not told the truth onthe witness stand.•Le Fort conducted the notorious
Press jsaloon at Eighth and Franklinstreets and personally got Into troubleby beating 11. G. Miller,a dischargedbar keeper on the head with a re-volver after Miller had sued for hiswages. Miller then left town and couldnot be -found. Le Fort was convictedon this charge. -* .

The instrument most frequently seenis th* poker dice machine. There isno slot in the box, but the patron handsto the clerk b«hind the counter hisa cent piece. Each nickel entitles theside viaIk plunger to press a lever,•which projects five eubiu dice into thecenter of a protected disk. Each diceface bears the symbol of a playingcard, and the curbstone piker standsa chance of a pair of. kings, which\u25a0would pay one elgar or better.
