For long time the people residing in
the neighborhood of Eighth and Monroe
streets have been much annoyed by the
diso.derly conduct OF large number Of
bad boys, who generally coDgregate on
the northeast corner of Eighth and Mon
roe streets. Most of these boys reside In
the neighborhood, and many OF them
have been warned time alter time for
weeks aud months. They indulge In
loud talking, using indecent and profane
language, often insult people passing
along the street, and have cursed persons
who have Ieproved them for bad con-
duct. On suadays the number Is gener-
ally much larger. The matter has been
reported to Chief of Police, and we say
kindly, but plainly, that this corLer loaf.
