TROUBLE FOR
LAW BREAKERS
Local Option Law Said to Have
Been Violated by One of
Paw Paws Druggists.
POKER GAMES AND pea POOL"
Evidence that Certain Citizens Were
Relieved of their Spare Change
by these Seductive Games.

For some time past there have been
rumors sfioat that a storm was brewing.
Justice court Investigations, grand jury
inquisitions, hundreds of witnesses sub
punaed, and other kindred matters, all
very much magnitied, but yet having
some basis of fact to rest upon, have
been the subject of speculation and street
gossip the past three weeks
However the officers having matters
in charge kept their own counsel and it
was not until Monday that the storm
broke and the lightning stroke occurred
that resulted in the arrest and arraign-
ment of John G. Berridge, Merle Snow
and Harry Whitcomb.
Prosecutor Warner had made two
complaints against Berridge, one for
keeping a place for the illegal sale of
Intoxicating liquors in violation of the
provisions Of the local option law, the
other for perjury. The basis of the per-
jury charge was an alleged false oath to
the return made to the prosecutor of
the sales Of liquor st his establishment
1t is claimed that he did not report ali
sales made as the law requires he should
do, and as his sworn statement states he
did. BerrIdge was formerly registered
pharmacist iu the employ of the late A.
G. Martin. He opened a drug store in
what's known as the rowbridge build
ing, on Kalamazoo street, in December
last and has since continued iu business
there
he was arrested by Sheriff Chappell,
on warrants issued by Justice Rowland
and demanded an examination which
was set for the 10th inst. His bail 10
the two cases was fixed at the sum of
S2 900 which was given. w Barnard
is Berridge's attorney.
Harry Whitcomb, proprietor of the
Dyckman House, was arrested on a CON-
plant made by Sheriff Chsppell and
warrant issued By Justice Mason The
complaint against him contains II diff
erent counts, keeping and maintaining a
gaming room, keeping gaming tables.
permitting gambliug in his place etc.
etc, but the gist and plain English Of
the charge alleged against him is keep
ing "poker" room. He demanded an
examination which was set for March
81, and gave bail for his appearance in
the sum of 5000. Mr.. Barnard also ap-
pears as counsel for Whitcomb
Merle Snow was also arrested on the
same kind of charge as Whitcomb,
his par rticular offense however, being
keeping pool room aud pool tables for
the purpose of gaming, the particular
game charged being alliterativeIy called
"peapooP. The complaint against Snow
was made by Prosecutor Warner and the
warrant issued by Justice Kilefer. 1t
is stated that Snow has permitted minors
to play pool on his tables and that they
have lost money there at such game to
the profit of the house.

.PANCOST GOES TO IONA
Man With Checkered Career Will
Serve From One to Four
teen Years.

Kalamazoo county's Jail will lose its
most distinguished heartbreaker tomor-
row, and there will be need for mops
and handkerchiefs all around the place.
Alvin j. Pancost, the young man who
has failed to keep real tables on his
matrimonial affairs, will be taken to
lonia to start serving sentence of from
one to fourteen years for forgery.
Pancost leaves at least one stricken
affinity in Kalamazoo. He has had
women callers from the first day be was
in jail and he spends the greater part of
his time talking about the ladies and
dreaming up sweet messages for them
His fellow prisoners say be is the great
est lady-killer that ever broke into Jail
and he evidently has many devoted ad-
mirers among the fair ones.
1t is said one young woman in Kal-
amazoo threatens to go to Ionia with
him. They were acquainted for some
time before Pancost gol into his latest
trouble.
1t was wedding trip that Pancost
first got tangled up with the law.
Shortly after his first marriage five years
ago he was accused of passing a check
to pay the expenses of the tour He mas
been married three times it Is claimed
and is less than thirty years old.
Pancost is not handsome man or q
particularly brillisnt one. The offense
for which he was today sentenced was

Damafes

Druggist G. H. Van Alstyne and his
sureties mus, pay to Mrs. Carrie Lock-
ard the judgment given her in the cir
cult court for damages for the unlawful
sale of liquor to her husband, Bradford
Lockard
The supreme court affirmed Wednes-
day, the judgment obtained by her 10
the circuit court for SEQ damages, to-
getner with the costs in both courts,
and interest at five per cent, which will
make the total amount about $3.50.
The case has attracted much attention
as it offered new method of attack on
the druggists who were selling illegally,
and the sustaining of the judgment
shows that the opponents of illegal liq uor
selling have a powerful weapon on their
hands, one which soaks hard the pocket
book of the offenders.
The case was commenced in December
1907, and was tried at the May term last
year, when the jury returned the verdict
against Var Alstyne and his sureties, VI

The game between the Asahis and
Dragonlet Juniors was a great success
as curtain raiser to the big event
between the Dragonlets and Japs at
the Athletic Park yesterday afternoon.
The youngsters played an excellent
game and kept the fans guessing right
up to the very last
ent. Most of the fans seemed to be
Chinese but there was a fair sprinkling
of other nationalities and several local
notables were in the grandstand.
Webster Junior made spectacular
catch in the third inning of the see
ond game. Apau sent a hot one out
to left field but Webster caught it on
the run and held it up while perform
ing several somersaults of a very live
ly nature.
Yamashiro did just about the same
thing in the eighth inning at right
field. He ran and caught the ball and
apparently fell on his mead but he
came up smiling and none the worse
for the incident.
The Japs scored first in the fourth
inning. Brito famed, Wakita walked
and stole second, Sakaino sacrificed
him to third and Wakita romped on a
passed ball.
The score was tied in the fifth. All

The Japs made one in the seventh.

second. Flores was safe on short S
error and Yamashiro scored.
The Dragonlets came back with
four in the second half of that inning.
Sing Chong walked and stole second.

but the Japs had no chance to catch
up and the errorfest in the seventh in
