From The Square and Vicinity.

There are many who believed that the
famous Law Enforcement League died
with annexation, but such is by no
means fact, for they are still in ex-
istence, and came near being heard

member of the league was made to be-
lieve that "a first-class club room was
to be established not one hundred feet
from the Plainheld Street Baptist
church was among the active members
of the league, and when he heard that
the club was to be located so near the
church he made known the fact that
it would exist but a short time, and
added that the members Of the league
would take the case in hand. 1t turned
out, however. that the member simply
had his leg pulled" for the building
that was undergoing repairs was being
fitted for a very respectable family,
who did not take very kindly to the
league meddling with his affairs for the
respectable citizen was also informed
that the league had reported the fact
and this was another case of leg pull

settled.
