There have been all sorts of stories afioat
and the case has furnished a new subject
for the village gossips to talk about. We
are glad to note the fact that the village
has a police that is not afraid to do It's
duty.
We are sorry that any of our citizens
question the right of an officer to arrest,
without warrant, a person who is COM
hitting any misdemeanor; for not only is
the law very plain on this point, but the
courts have sustained the officers in such
cases.
