Storm at Woodville,

The hail storm which seems to
have been the most severe in the
vicinity of Sterrett, Colbert and that
neighborhood, was quite severe at
Woodville, where it did great damage.
Very large hailstones, some reports
say as large as goose eggs fell. At
the farm of j. b. Dowdy, two miles
north of Woodville. hailstones piled
up In the yard a foot deep. Every
window was broken out of all the
houses in the path of the storm and
young bushes were beaten bare of

and oats and wheat are badly dam
aged.

ABOUT TEN GAMBLING HOUSES
RAIDED LAST NIGHT.
About 60 Blacks and Whites Arrested d

Made Bond, and Some
Went to Jail.

LAST night ABOUT ~ CLOCK MdrSnai
Colbert. accompanied by Deputies
McLemore. Wilkinson, Adams. Wells.
Macy. Nolen. Cummings, Gates and
Schneider. started out to raid the
gambling houses in Ardmore.
The marshal. in order that his work
would be more effective. deployed his
forces and struck as many of the
gaming houses as he could simuta-
neously.
Nearly every house in the city was
raided. and. being taken unawares. 1t
is said some of our business men
were found sweating over the green
cloth"
The negro dives we're not sighted,
and about thirty negroes we're round
ed up. Nearly as many whites were
placed under arrest and they were
all marched up to the court house in a
body, where the most of them were
held until this morning.
Commissioner Robnett began at
once this morning to relieve the situ-
alton.
Nine white men pleaded guilty to
the charge of gaming, and were fined
SO and costs. About fifteen or TWEEN.
ty others gave bond and will be tried
later on.
Twenty-siX negroes were in the
gang, and all gave bond except six,
who were placed in Jail. One negro
woman. Florence Con-. was found in
one of the negro gaming houses, as
well as one white man in the same
place, and were made to come along
They both pleaded guilty and paid
their fines.
In the meantime the marshal, in or
der to make his work more thorough,
proceeded to take the furniture from
all the gaming houses and piled 1t in
the street and set fire to 1t. There
were six of these bonfres burning at
once
The gaming house that was run
over Mrs. Becker's place on Main
street, we are told, contained some
of the finest furniture of any house
of any kind in the Territory. The
most of the furniture was of solid
walnut, and some of mahogany. 1t is
estimated that the proprietor of this
place lost at least $500 on his fur
niture, ivory chips. etc.
The marshal told us of one laugh.
able incident that happened while he
was up in the dive over Ramsey's
drug store. Mr.. Colbert went in and
was standing around, no one taking
any particular notice of him. when his
attention was directed to one table
where the national game was going
on, and finally one fellow looked up
and recognized him. He Immediately
threw up his hand and passed out"
A big Irishman sitting at the table
wanted to know what was the trouble.
and when he was told that the United
States marshal was looking on, Pat
remarked;
And what the divil does he have
to do with it?"
The marshal says that this is only
the beginning of his work.

BASKET SUPPER AND DANCE.
A Decided Success at Deer Park
School House.

OCnOOI F1OQSSs
The basket supper and entertain
ment held at the Deer Park school
house on the evening of June 30th
proved to be decided success, both
as a source of pleasure and enjoy
ment and also as a source of reve-
nue. for worthy purpose.
The net proceeds arising from the
sale of baskets amounted to the sum
of $29. This amount to be used by
the board of trustees for the purpose
of replenishing and establishing a Ii
brary for school use.
To the teacher, Miss Christine Nor
| lander, is due the honor and best re-
CARDS of the entire community, fol-
| it was through her instrumentality
and self sacrifice that this entertain
ment was brought to a successful
| issue.
| The program consisted of songs
recitations, dialogues and essays
after which the baskets were dis
posed of at auction to the highest
bidders.
Supper, accompanied by hot coffee
having been placed where it would
do the most good, the floor was
cleared of desks, stage trappings
etc., and those so disposed trippe(

paniment of music on the accordion

that it had been night pleasant,

one to be commended and worth,
