SANTA MONICA.

Drunken Veterans Make Themselves .
Nuisance-Local Affairs.
SANTA MONICA, Sept. 12.-For some
time, 1t might be said years, q gang of
drunken soldiers from the home have
made the lives OF q number OF our citi-
zens burden with their drunken and
obscene language, until forbesrance
ceases to be virtue, and O number of
ourcitizens have determined to rid the
town of their presence or have them de-
slst from their filthy language. They
are only few compared with the large
number of inmates of the home,
and 1t seems to your correspondent it
would be good thing for the governor
to keep them perpetually in the guard
house instead of letting them contami-
nate with their filthy talk the Santa
Monica air. One of these men, whose
name is well known to your correspond
emit, is the worst of the gang, and on
Monday afternoon, after calling a re-
spectacle young lady name too filthy
for print, howled forth for at least half
hour series of coarse and filthy talk
unfit even for the inmates of houses of
shame.
Something should be done immedi-
ately by the officers here, or there will
be few drunken brutes (who think they
can act as they please because they mas
querade under the blue which they dis
honor), 90 home with broken heads, for
gentlemen living here are determined
that their wives and children will not be
subjected to such insults.
