The Biter BiT-Conrad Olson
and Charles Vinberg are now
servinfr a ninety day sentence in
the Portland jail on the charge
of gambling, Charles Stromgren
being the complainant Strom
gren appears to be somewhat of
a gambler himself, and those
who know say he framed up the
game and fully expected to get
the money. Finding the cards
going against him. he sauealed
in the hope of getting his money
back. Olson and Vinberg, who
are Swedish block cutters, were
not wise enough to teU the full
story in court, hence 4tne severe
sentence. Petitions are in circu
lation for their pardon and it
is believed by the time they
reach His Excellency he will con
elude they have been sufficiently
punished: especially as fourteen
affidavits will be forwarded from
parties who have been victims
to Stromgren's skill with the
cards.
BUY at home Certainly no
resident of St Helens or Houl
ton needs to go to Portland to
purchase Christmas presents this
year. 1 he home merchants have
made ample provision for all,
and as there is plenty of compe
tition nowadays the pnees are
reasonable. It is always best
and fair to patronize the home
merchant when you are getting
a square deal. You cannot build
up your home town by sending
your money away.
