LLL., FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1911.FOURGAMBLERS FLEECE WAUKEGANITES IN LOCAL RESORTTwo Chicagoans Come Here Regularly Saturdays and Pay NightsTwo Squealers got Back Their Money After Making a Howl About itBenton Harbor, Michigan, I \ad the opportunity to address the Christian | church congregation, Swedish Millen- j ial Dan people, Flying Rollers, men's union meeting, Socialists, and particularly investigated the Gift of Tongues j bunch, attending meetings in their: small one-story store Toom and secur- j ed serious evidence proving the lead-1 ers to be slanderers and adulterers, i The evidence agaihst the adulterers j 1 secured from a reliable widower who ] accompanied a young woman, member i of t6e Gift of Tongues, whom he would have married had she not ad- i mitted being intimate with the Gift j of Tongues leader.FPeople Plead That Gambling Joint Carefully Guarded Be Cleaned up(From Wednesday’s SUN.)The leading slanderer, and also said to be an adulterer, is who was06DEThat two gamblers of Chicago regularly come to this city on Saturday nights, making headquarters in a local bar, and working for suckers, is in assertion that is made right from a quarter where they know such things.The facts have been rumored for some time and of such order that it is a wonder action is not obtained on the nimble fingered fraternity to protect the people of the city from their operations, as it is rumored the other night they strong armed $700. out of three local men, two of whom “squealed”, as it is called, and got their money back, while th third, due to his prominence in a city not far away, dared not raise a howl.How They Work ItThe two are said to hang around the barroom of a well known resort that has been under a police cloud before this and when a man comes in and gets a drink, showing a wad of money, they offer to treat, gain his hearfng and friendship, and then proceed to go after his coin.This is said to have happened numberless times! the game being played in a nice secluded spot away from the Btreet noises ’ most of the time, and the proprietor of the place mounting guard and refusing to admit to the game or to the room any one who is not above suspicion of being an investigator. He is said to be ex-Chicagoan who knows this end of the game.Pay Nights Favorites.Pay nights are said to be favorites for the two Chicagoans and next to pay nights come Saturday nights. That they make the game pay is evidenced by the fact that they come here regularly and never fail to find suckers, the out of towner being perhaps the one who came across the heaviest without raising a howl. It is said that the proprietor of the place settled with the two Waukeganites who squeled. ~Waukegan, the decent majority agrees, has no room for “gentlemen of this kidney, either keepers of the game or players, and citizens assert that the sooner the police act .and revoke the license of the place, thus forcing the owner out of business, the better it will be for all parties.toformerly a motorious Dowie elder, but is now engaged with the Gift of Ton-1 gues movement.It. will be remembered that he was mobbed in Mahseld, Ohio, bedhise of his ‘Divine Healing” ’.teaching, Causing the death of a child. The mob nearly killed him and would have applied tar and feathers had the tar been in a soft condition, as they had him in a vat, under a faucet, which they could not operate;. a few days later they, did strip another of Dowie's j elders and gave him a coat of paint, j These facts were published ii* Dowie’s* Leaves of Healing, 1900, and this was i the beginning of the downfall. m;I also investigated the Gift of Ton- j Cl gues branch in Minneapolis and pro-i‘TO mised to help them and pay part of | ^ the expenses, because .they appeared , to be in a failing condition, having j in only a few', proven to be, ignorant and ta selfish, who'attended.Only a few days ago I visited the Gift of Tongues branch, again, in Zion Cty aind fpund them greatly diminished in numbers, had an interview with their new leader, and wrote a six page letter to him, for the benefit of the poor Zion people, but instead of recognizing the letter as they should have done, repeated stories of which all the leaders in. Zion City have told, and this is the fundamental reason why the Zion people are kept in such a deplorable condition. j. The reason that the Gift of Tongues j movement made such a rapid progress j ° for a short time is, that Parhaifi took C advantage of the failure and dividing ( a of Dowie's congregation which ex-1 v tended all over the world. j aIt is ridiculous to me that there is j t not a law to prevent such awful delu-11 sion or deception as perpetuated in j h Zion City.
