quently as to have seriously damaged
gallon bottle of each. That person
is Eugene Gray, who was for some
time employed as "shine" in the I'm.
ion barber shop in this city. He was
often reprimanded by his employer
for being on such frequent sprees,
but when the employer found the
source of these sprees, he no longer
was satisfied with reprimand-the
porter was permitted to leave. 1t
seems that he slept in a room in the
rear of the shop, and each night he
filled a pint bottle from the gallon
bottle of bay rum, occasionally add
ing the hair tonic as variety. Suspi-
cions caused the proprietor to mark
the bottle one night, and when he
came around the next morning about
an inch had disappeared. Then the
porter disappeared.
