According to the story Mrs. Crader with

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
