ed. must tell some of the works of
the officers. Right after the city cleo
lion, the new officers started out to en-
force the laws of the town, straight
through. The marshal arrested three |
Or four small boys; tried and convicted
hem. Some of them were poor /,
orphan boys, and it cost them three Or
Jour dollars, That was all right. But |
here come some men running their |
horses through town, and raised the |
indian yelp, jumped on and off of the
moving trains. The warrants were
placed in the marshal's hands, but |

had to pay for his sport. l think that
is quite a nice way to run an incor-
oorated town; they ought to have two
one to arrest the boys and
,ne for the men. CHARLEY.
