He stated that he would first request those

ments to close them down Sundays. and If
his request was not needed he would resort
to the law The sheriff served notice on
the proper persons, but yesterday the
amusements were in operation as usual
This morning about half dozen of the
citizens Of the Cabin John vicinity came to
Rockville, and, upon the advice OF the
county officers, had warrants issued for the
arrest of Thomas Noonan, r. B. Johnson
and a Mr.. Miller, who are said to be re-
sponsible for the operation of the amuse-
ments. The warrants were sworn out ny
