next time he goes to Ahnapee.

An action for defamation is likely to
be the outcome of having a couple of Two
Rivers young men arrested for burglary
short time ago. 1t is not at all likely
that the boys who are interested in me
matter will get any great amount of
redress in the shape of damages. But
however this may be charges of so grave
a nature should not lightly be preferred
against any one unless there is something
in the shape of proof to sustain the accu-
sation. When some grave crime has
been committed arresting on mere sus-
picion may be all right, but ordinarily it
is very questionable mode of procedure
to say the least.
