The case of John Wall, 33, of 329 Bank street was continued un- til January 18th. He is charged with keeping a gambling machine. Originally Wall was charged with breach of the peace, having been arrested on the complaint of his wife. When the police called to serve the warrant they found the gambling device and preferred q second charge against the accused.
 Six young men, all residents of the west end, were seated in their club rooms on West Main street early yesterday morning when one of them heard a knock on the rear door of the place. He opened the door and in walked two policemen. A pack of cards and $1.65 were seized as evidence of an alleged gambling house. The youths insist that they had a right to play q quiet, little game and that the store used was their club. The cases were continued until Wednesday morning. It is believed likely that the charges will be nolled.
