ARRIVED
DRUNK.
When the train enme in from New
port last night tho principal attraction
was a small old man so drunk he had to
be helped off the train. He was ac
companied by hia wife and family,
chagrined by the old man's helpless
condition, disgracing his wife and child
ren, a very good example of what
whiskey will do if given a chance. Don
v lark of the" Topsy Turvy company got
on one side of him, and another Salem'
man on the other and piloted the poor
fellow to the Vandran Hotel, where he
was given a bed to sober up.
Some said he was helped to get
boozy after he left NewDort. and
others that it was all done at Newport,
and the discussion was passed, not at
all a material thing;. The curse
of tbe habit and the foolishness of the
whole drink business is in it wherever
a man gets it, whether in the saloon,
blind pig or his own home.
Newport this year has been reeking
with the open saloon, a disgrace to a
decent summer resort city.
