Two Years at Hard Labor.

Eau Claire, Wis., May B.—Judge Bailey at 10:15 this morning sentenced Harry D. McMaster to two years in the state prison at Waupun with hard labor. In his charge he used forcible language. He declared that the only way to suppress such cases of embezzlement was to strike at the root of public gambling. The Chicago board of trade, he believes, had caused more distress, ruined more men and wrecked more families than the civil war, yet it was indorsed by the üblic, and when such men as Senator Washburn raised his voice against it he was thrown out of office.
