OLD HOME SOLD BUT STAYS IN
 THE FAMILY

It is evidently the purpose of B. H. Weaver 10 keep in his family the historical homestead on South Mar ina street, as the above pioneer has deeded to his son. B. V. Weaver, that property and two lots adjoining the consideration being nominal.

 Two large barrels, so packed in air tight places that all possible warmth was preserved and their contents, which appeared to be Q mess con- taining corn, potatoes and apples, to- gether with small kegs, constituted the equipment of the underground laboratory. There appeared to be no other machinery or equipment, but because the officers could not con- vince themselves that the proprietor was experimenting with such a harm less substance as INT, they brought him in and lodged him in the cell, pending filing of complaint charg- ing an attempt to manufacture in toNicaJing liquor.
