Several Laurium Boys
Are Given a Good
Lesson.
They Had "a Great Deal Of Fan
Tearing Down Posters, Hut Their Lot
Noy IL Not so Happy AZ it Was
Late Local happening.

There are a number OF Laurium young
sters who will not be so apt TO have fun
at other peoples expense in the future
from lesson that was taught them yes
terday. A short time ago the manager
Of the Opera House had new bill board
erected near the Laurium depot Mon
day TIE advance agent OF The Twelve
Temptations" came along and covered
the board with paper advertising his at
traction. This Immediately caught the
eyes of the kids and they were soon hav-
ing all kinds OF fun tearing down the
posters. The advance agent was not
long in finding out what had become OF
his posters and he decided TO teach the
youngsters lesson. Securing their
names he got out warrants for their ar
rest before Justice Kuhn and the boys
were brought up yesterday. They all
pleaded guilty and the justice is now un-
decided what to do with them. Under
ordinary circumstances they would be |
brought before the county agent, but Dr. |
Osborn sent in his resignation as that |
official some three weeks ago. The va
cancy has TO be filled by the governor.
but as yet no one has been appointed.
The bill board is located outside OF the
village and the boys were arrested under
the State law. The justice does not
want to bind them over TO circuit court
as the OF nse is not serious enough. The
matter will probably be dropped as the
parents OF the boys want to settle for the
damage done.
