period of last year. With the exception Of
the short wave of drunkenness which "a
suddenly visited the city last week. on
the part of some men who had been work
ing on the ice down the river, and which
was as suddenly disposed of, there has
been q really astonishing showing. These
men were not residents of Augusta or
vicinity, but came from all directions.
But that thrush of crime was Incl
dental and the only significance which
can be attached to it was the CELEBRITY with
which the perpetrators disappeared
The figures show that, excepting the
above lot, there has been up to date only
six convictions for drunkenness; two for
fast driving; three for petty larceny
seven for assault and battery; and three
for disturbance.
In addition To the above there was the
case of the four boys wlo were caught
stealing from the store of Lee & Wad

In looking over the police records it Is
seen that the police department has done
excellent work The remarkably small
number Of street brawls, during the past
six months can be partially accounted for
by the method that has been adopted BY
the force In leaving no stones unturned.
