Several young men "got on a lark
Saturday night and behaved in a
very reprehensible manner. They
got on the outside of "a lot of liquor
and proceeded to paint the munich
Ipality a bright vermilion hue, OF
words to that effect. They applied
the carmine with very large brush
and the job was executed in the high
est style of the art. They made
night hideous with their disorderly
conduct and in some instances dis
charged pistols on the streets with 0
reckless disregard for law and order
that one would hardly expect to fine
in a scmi-civilized frontier settle
ment, Some of the parties concern
ed were young men prominent il
the social, business and professiona
circles. There seemed to be gener
al desire to get on the regular month
ly drunk and make things lively
The SOUTH KENTUCKIAN feels tina
its duty TO the public would not b.
, performed if it failed to denounc
/ such disgraceful carousals. No news
, paper that desires to uphold law ant
order and show respect for decenc,
! can stand by and see these thing
without entering Its protest.
