Raided Gambling Houses.

Deputy Sheriff Sanders and Consta- ble Bobe last night created a sensa- ton in the ranks of the gamblers when two houses kept by Creoles were ra!d- ed. the two keepers and ten visitors having beep taken in charge and sent to the county jail for violating the gambling statutes.
 Charges to fit these offenses were properly framed, and 1t Is stated that there will be a good many arrests to follow those of last night. It is known that there are many gambling houses in this city. Since the county officers have taken hand in the matter, there Is some visible uneasiness in the ranks of the knights of the green cloth
 There was a new departure in these raids. County Prosecutor s. M. Loftin and County Judge Bellinger were in company with the deputies when the raids were made, and this Is the fiji st time in the city's history that the pros ecutors have accompanied the raiding parties.

A force of men are now busiIy en- gagged each day iceing cars for the melon growers. The ice is being se- cured from the Creamery and condens- ed milk plant. Two cars were iced yes terday morning and they will fol-w HOW at the rate of about four a day. At least, that is what is expected. If they do not come that fast the creamery will have to shut down their ice plant as they will have more on hand than they can take care of.

The first application gave relief and less than a box effected an abso- lute cure. Should there be a recur- renee of the trouble any time I now know what to do to stop it."
