its contents. The reader may use his

statement made in the letter.
Young Frank Belanger, who made
himself generally obnoxious a few
days since was calaboosed by Marshal
Carey. He was brought before Police
Justice and sentenced to fifteen days
in the county Jail and at hard labor, in
default of payment of ST so his fine
and costs. The boy is under age and
should not be allowed in saloons, but
there seems to be no difficulty in boys
securing whatever they call for in the
saloons of this city and Centralia. It
is a crime and a disgrace.
