Knights of the Cardboards Bound Over to Circuit Court.

Remington citizens who have been speculating on the respective values of pastboards have been having a lot of trouble lately and also some notoriety. Along last fall an effort was made to convict Charles Raines of conducting a gambling game in the Perry Hill hotel, but the evidence, was lacking and he was found not guilty. Later, however, an affidavit was made charging Raines with being guilty of visiting a gambling house and then Raines made a similar charge against Mike Pol€n and Polen made one against Cyrus Rice and then some one made an affidavit against Charles Pefley. Deputy Prosecutor Sands gave them a hearing before Squire Dickerson Friday and. all four -were bound over to the circuit court. Visiting a gambling house carries with it a sentence of ten days or more in jail and while some of those charged are said to have practically pleaded guilty they don’t want to board with Sheriff McColly if they can help it. 1
