articles most needed, and out of the
abundance with which our people

All jokes aside, the Middleport po-
lice deserve great credit for the valu-
able assistance they lent in arrest
ing the meat burglars, and giring
their talents and time in working up
the case. We are sorry they were
not more successful, for it took more
than one man to carry off that meat.
