AUTHORITIES CLOSE new JOINT
H. Il RICHARDS PLACE sHUT Up Oh
SUSPICION
Premises Searched and Empty Beer Bot
ties and Gambling Tables Found
First Batch Booze just Out
Richards Gone.

Inc confectionery store OF II. ID klch-
ards was closed Monday afternoon tech
nically in the interests Of a mortgage,
but in fact to gain evidence against
Richards who was thought to be selling
Intoxicating liquors The sheriff was Or
dered by County Attorney Murphy to
close the place because he had rather
suspicious evidence that Richards was
violating the prohibitory liquor laws Of
the state. The action was taken without
warning, and the building Immediately
searched. The upstairs room was en-
tered and q good many empty beer bot
ties, and poker tables, were discovered
From all appearances the first shipment
Of vet goods had Just run out
Richards Immediately left the place,
and while the evidence was accumulat-
ing by the search, he left thetoEn and
has not been seen here since. The coun-
" attorney at first was not sufficiently
satisfied Of the guilt Of Richards in sell
ing beer and arrest was not then made
Now he is gone, and since his joint was
only about two days old, there is little
likelihood Of his being pursued How
ever, II Richards comes back he may
have to face the charge Of selling vet
goods il a-dry state.
Last summer John Arendt sold his
stock Of confectionery to Richards, 800
being paid down, and a mortgage Of
$500 given to secure the unpaid part Of
the purchase price. The mortgage was
not due now. but when Are1dt learned
that consignment of two barrels Of
bottled beer had been received by Rich
ards, and to save his interests against
possible con6scatiOn Arendt began ac-
ton on the mortgage.
The stock Of goods in the Richards
store was being invoiced Tuesday and
Wednesday, and will reach the SGOO
mark or more. Besides the mortgage,
Richards was owing some to q wholesale
house, and a few scattering debts remain
in town. The goods viii cover the total
OF all claims.
Richards had good trade at his store
and doubtless ended his business career
here with more than a living. His wife
aud child and a sister-in law left for Hol-
ton, Kan, last week for a visit, and
Richards joint sprung up since then.
Before going into the confectionery bus
mess he was clerk in the Dawson store
and was a good salesman. II be had
stopped to count the cost of his unlawful
venture, his better self would have con
demned it. But now be is a ssdder but
wiser man.

Z teaspOonful Of sugar mixed with ,
teaspoonfuls Of water; when well mixed
add ounces Of water; take a teaspoon
full every hour, for a child a smaller dose

Bank Clerks Outing.

On Saturday next Washington Chap
ter Of the American Institute OF Bank
Clerks viii give its first annual ex-
cursion TO River View. There viii be
two boats, at D. m and 6:45 D. m The
members Of Baltimore Chapter have
been invited as the guests OF the local
chapter, and a suitable program ar
ranged, which will include baseball and
a bowling contest. 1t is expected that
as many as possible viii go down on
the early boat. and help make the oe-
caslon pleasant one for the visiting
chapter and all concerned
The bank clerks. irrespective of chap
ter membership, are taking an active
and interesting part In this affair. and
from the present outlook it promises
to be successful beyond what had been
anticipated.
The prime object of this excursion is
to raise funds to enable the chapter to
carry on its educational work. Its pro-
grams for the past years have not al
ways been as good as desired. For this
the lack OF funds is largely responsible,
but with a successful excursion, and its
advertisement through this means
which must result in an increased mem
bership, the chapter officers will be bet
ter able to offer to all bank clerks in
ducements 10 become members. Asso-
citation and the acquaintance Of those in
the profession viii help largely to a
better feeling IN business relations, and
while a non-member may be a good
bank clerk, it is believed that hard
working. conscientious chapter member
is in a fair way 20 become a better one
