law against gambling prohibits raffling
for turkeys, chickens, geese, ducks, etc.,
and the authorities in neighboring
towns have already given public notice
that any persen indulging in this prac-
tice will be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law. Several years ago raffling
for fowls was carried on in Bellefonte
without any regard for the law, but dur-
ing the past two years a ban has been
placed upon it. In order to be upon safer
ground various parties last year took
their raffling operations outside the bor-
ough limits in Spring township, conduct-
ing them wide open. Bellefonte authori-
ties will doubtless prohibit raffling this
year and the constables of Spring town-
ship should arrest any and all offenders
within their jurisdiction, as it is one of
the most pernicious forms of gambling. rs
