These Factors Claimed Attention of Police Court, Monday. We did not take time to ascertain the exact amount Police Judge Wilber fined some twelve or fourteen young men on Monday morning in police court, but we are safe in saying that the dozen or more who faced the bar of justice lost inches, and in some instances, feet of self respect and lowered themselves into trenches of deep humiliation where gloom abounds. These men are at the entrance of a well trodden and easily followed path toward a life of misery and shame unless they mend their ways. The News-Record doubts if it is doing the young men a friendly act in keeping their names from publication. To shield is to encourage.

However, if the young men will apprciate their "blank names" they will never give us another occasion to disseminate the news people are paying for and ought to know. IMPORTANT NOTICE. The City Water service will be shut off at 10 o'clock on Saturday evening and remain off until Sunday morning at 6 o'clock. M. H.
