VOORHEESVILLE. 

— Residents of this village and community had several times reported to the state police that A. H. Kalohn was keeping an open gambling house, and last Saturday evening about 10 o’clock state police of Troop G walked in and found gambling in progress. They immediately went to the house of Justice of the Peace George Taylor, asking him to issue warrants for the arrest of the gamblers. Mr. Taylor with the state troopers went to the place, where the troopers arrested the proprietor, A. H. Kalohn, and seven  young men, and confiscated the money on the table. The justice fined the proprietor fifteen dollars, which was paid. The sentence for the young men was five days in jail, but the judge suspended sentence, on their good behavior. He gave them a good talking to, telling them of the seriousness of the charge against them and warning them that another like offense would mean the carrying out of the sentence in full. The moneys from the fine and from the table is turned into the treasury of the town, to be used for the town poor. 

— Arthur Relyea met with a painful accident this week while employed at the grocery store of F. R. Wiltsie, when a cake of ice fell striking him on both feet. The injury kept him from working for a few days, but he is back on the job after the physician had the feet well strapped.
