STATE POLICE RAIDED POOL ROOM 

Slot Machines Found in Building Contained $37.75 Which Will Be Added to Poor Fund of Town 

The pool room conducted by Albert Davis at Guilderland Center was raided by state troopers last Friday afternoon. Complaints had been made on several occasions that the proprietor of the room was running a gambling place, and warnings had been given him to stop, but such notices were unheeded. It is said that many of the young men, and older ones, too, were frequent visitors there, and that several spent most of their week’s wages shooting pool and gambling. 

On Friday the owner of the two slot machines which were found in the place drove out from the city for the purpose of collecting the contents. While he was in the act of unlocking the machines and counting the money the state police put in an appearance. Davis was taken before Justice W. S. Waggoner for examination and trial. On account of the fact that the prisoner had a wife and four small children the justice let him off with a fee of $25 and a warning not to engage in gambling again if he wished to avoid being punished to the full extent of the law. 

The slot machines contained $37.75 which was taken in charge by Justice Waggoner to be turned over to the poor fund of the town of Guilderland. The $25 fee was given over to the supervisor for other purposes. The machines were taken to an outbuilding and destroyed.

SCHOHARIE AND BARTON HILL. 

Last Friday morning, Hazel Keyser, beloved wife for ten months of George Keyser, died at her home of heart trouble. She leaves a tiny daughter, Owanda Janita, two weeks old. That morning she had felt so much stronger and when her husband kissed her good bye to go to the creamery, neither of them dreamed it was the last good bye. Mr. Keyser is inconsolable. The funeral was held Monday at 2 o’clock. The minister who married them officiated at the funeral. Interment was in the Old Stone Fort cemetery.
