New Industries in Laurei--Rsin Ruins
Strawberry Crop.
Special to The Evening Journal.

special 70 the Evening Journal.
Laurel, June 7.--Partics from Bridge
Vile were here on Saturday afternoon
looking for a suspect whom they be-
lieved was connected with the bank
burglary at that place last week. The
man they described was in town on
Thursday and Friday but disappeared
on Friday night. He was a tall. rather
gentlemanly-lOokin chap and spent
considerable money at the hotel, drink
ing heavily.
Two different establishments are now
in full blast here manufacturing col
lapsible or folding barrels. Both are
new inventions and have never been
on the market before, and are some-
what similar in their construction.
James J. Galloway Is at the head Of one
of the establishments and Charles OF
well and Ira Melvin are engineering the
other. The desire in each case has been
to secure a barrel that when empty
could be folded up in a small space FOR
shipment without taking it entirely
apart. This, 1t is claimed, has been
obtained in both the designs now be-
ing constructed.
The heavy rains have ruined the
strawberry crop here, and while berries
will be shipped for ten days yet, they
will not be in large quantities or Of
good quality.
