Rural Policeman J.L. Callihan caught and arrested six men Sunday night while engaged in a big game of gambling near Forest City. The following men were taken from the woods to jail: Walt Suttlemyer, Bob Harden, “Fons” Morrow, Joe Waters, and two other boys who declared that they were not playing. The names of the two latter persons were not ascertained. The officer, by the intensity of the game, was able get the whole pot of money.
