Writer Gives Police Court News as It May Be. Max J. Kennedy of Fredoni1 18 author of the following bit of satire in regard to ultra-blue law agitation: At the City Hall in 1930. We were wondering what effect the blue laws would really have on our modes of living by 1930. In.

answer to my question my good and all-1 seeing seer has sent me' a of the Police Herald of that date. A few items are herewith copied: Ernest Flashlight was arrested on Wednesday and searched. A box of checkers was found in a secret pocket The police deserve great credit for their wonderful persisten: and vigilance. It will be remember: inat it was Ernest who smuggled a basebail bat and catcher's mit across the Canadian border in 1926. Al Trubbel was brought 11 th's morring by Sheriff Ketchum and Constabie Sam Singer, our two most rervy officers.

Al has been supp'3ing the Elk and Eagle lodges with grape juice and catalpa be ins Fir their smokers once a week. 11 seri ed two. sears for selling corn silks to the legion members. Barney de Palma was fined $1,000 and costs this morning. He drives the hearse for Berry M.

Deep and he violated the speed ordinance of three miles per hour in the funeral procession of Harry Snale. Barney is a most reckless careless young man and it is hoped that this will be 2 lesson for him. As the hearse drivers and plumbers are now using the same wage scale, Barney will have to work two weeks without pay, the fine being taken out his month's wagse. The tug boats coming from the Mexican coast and adjacent islands are causing our earnest and powerful police and government officials more trouble than any of the other crime pests. U.

S. citizens are thought to be aiding in landing and unloading the cargoes. In several ofour Gulf cities both coca cola and sassafras can be obtained. Miss Sadie Rideout is again in t' toils. She powdered her face on Wednesday and was fined $100 and costs.

A case is still pending against her from last May when she drove her automobile on Sunday afternoon. She is a clever criminal and the sooner our community is rid of her class, the better off we'll be. "Long" Outdoors, aged sixty-five, has been strolling out through the country carrying a walking stick. I While Mr. Outdoors is old he is not lame, so the detectives became picious.

They followed him yesterday and found that he was using his cane for a golf stick and was secretly practicing this vice while the good people of the country-side were held in absolute ignorance. With some other old offenders he was run out of the north side last year where they were conducting an underground croquet game. "Long" has been moved to the jail at Sheridan for safe keeping as the good citizens are very bitter and may resort to mob vlolence. The population of Moralton is now 3620. But the banks say that money never was so tight or times SO hard.

Their condition is peculiar one. The population is divided as follows: 1,800 police and plain clothes men and 1,820 citizens. The difficulty seems to be due to the fact of the 1,820 citizens, 1785 of them are in jail and the business of the town is sorely depleted. The citizens on the inside are going to be forced build their new jail, which Rev. Burnum says will be the largest and strongest of any in the state.

Let's all pull together and keep up the good work. The resort of old Fagin Chaplin was raided last night and moving picture machine was found in the den. This crime carries capital punishment in this state. Jess Dempsey was given sixty days solitary confinement for importing some unlawful fighting game chicken eggs and setting them under a legal hen. Will this old gladiatorial spirit ever be overcomeNever has our country experienced such a crime wave since 1921.

Our laws simply do not prohibit. Several have just lately been arrested for fishing, yawning in church continues, every few days a checker player is thrown in jail and only last spring the U. S. Marshalls unearthed a plot to grow a patch of tobacco and grapes in Kentucky. We are making free use of the scaffold and whipping post but a few of the more brazen women still wear corsets.

Dancing is still heard of in the lumbering camps and Sunday papers are being printed and bootlegged in the lying districts. Of course the lady bayre-back riders in the circus are I wearing long skirts, but they are at times most careless. Our literature committees are too lax, Shakespeare and similar trash are still being read in the underworld. Nuds art is veiled, but the attendant obligingly uncovers and dusts when the erowd gathers. What shall we do? Andrew Miller, manager of the Dodge City, Development, Oil Gas company, has rented the McAdam residence at 1301 First avenue and will ocupy it about July first, at which time Mr.

MAdam and family will move to one of their farms near town upon which a new residence is now being built. AUTOMOBILE, TRUCK TRACTOR RADIATOR SERVICE.
