doubt but that future social Affairs con-
Quoted by the club, for which prelimi-

comes very obnoxious to about every one
with whom he comes in contact, was very
drunk on West Park street yesterday. He
started in smashing up his household
furniture, and kept at II, notwithstand-
ing the remonstrance of the partner OF
his freside, until he had to give up the
diversion from sheer exhaustion. He
then went outside, presumably to get
something to remove that tired feeling, but
officer Boss was close at hand and took
Holmes to the Second station where he
had an opportunity to recuperate during
the large number OF hours he was kept

TUund two lads aged IA and 16. on Bene-
fit street, who had left the classic city Of
the East and whose actions indicated
they had come here for no good purpose.
The lads were very tart In their replies
to the officers questions and both wore
the later style "sneak" shoes. Their
efforts st bluff proved very unsuccessful,
and they probably realized the fact that
