Officers from Huntington raided a “blind tiger" conducted by Charles Regedanz at Roanoke Friday evening and took possession of one jug and several bottles of contraband liquor.

Regedanz was taken to Huntington and gave bond of SSOO for his appearance. This is the second offense and if convicted his punishment is likely to be severe. Regedanz conducts a place where temperance drinks are ostensibly sold.

The heavy storm of last evening was one of the worst that has visited this city in recent years, and did considerable damage.

The car was burned out in bad shape and will necessitate a new cable before it can be used again. Announcements have been received here of the marriage of Rev.

While two young men were wrestling in a playful manner last evening in the Model Cigar store, one of the boys fell through a big glass cigar case, damaging the same in a frightful manner. The young men will no doubt have to pay for the damage done, which will in the end prove to be an expensive piece of playing. The Elks are anticipating having a good time Friday evening when they will hold a social session at their lodge room for the benefit of the members.

It is rumored on the streets today that a petition for a brick street will be filed w’ith the council this evening when they meet in special session.

Butler & Butler, the cement contractors, this morning finished their contract of putting in the cement floors at the new packing house. The floors are made of the best material and will last as long as the building will last. The members of the packing concern are putting nothing into their new business but the best, and when completed it will be one of the best equipped plants in the state. Drs. Blackman, the well known osteopath physicians, are considering very seriously the closing of a deal for the purchase of an old and well established sanitarium at Atlanta, Ga. It is probable that the purchase will be made and they will take possession soon. Both are clever young men and stand high in their profession, their success being assured should they undertake the management of this concern. A special from Wheeling to the Record-Herald yesterday declares that in Maggart the Wheeling club has an outfielder who is a find. The manager of the team is throwing fits over Vestin s ability to swat the ball and the manner in which he gathers in the long hits in his garden. Just a little more talk of that sort and Mr. Maggart will leave Wheeling for Pittsburg, where his services would go far toward winning games.

Her Decatur friends hope for her a speedy recovery. o Everything has been arranged by the interurban people to move into their new depot tomorrow and the cars then instead of stopping at the Winnes shoe store will run on down the street to the Morrison Block. This room has been neatly remodeled and presents an attractive appearance. Tom Railing has consented to pitch for the local team on Sunday, May 12, when Decatur plays at Ft. Wayne against the Shamrocks, and he will no doubt be able to hold the hard hitting sons of Erin down in easy fashion. Southpaw Vince Robbins will be pitted against the locals and a battle royal between these players may be looked for, as both are heady slab artists. GATES & CO.
