The officers seem to have let up a
little in their efforts to dry up the
levee and are now directing their en-
erges in other directions. They seem
possessed of spirit to make Charlton
a moral town in every way. Their

arrested two DRINKS and pulled crap
game with thirteen people engaged.
One of the drunks objected to being
arrested and declared he would not be
until they pulled the crap game. This
was the first intimation the officers
had of a crap game and when informed
where it was they proceeded at once
to make a raid The thirteen inmates
of the house were hauled up before
the mayor and fined the customary IS
and costs.
