Marshal Olinger caused the arrest OF
Jas. E. Hanna, Wednesday, for throw
ing rubbish in the streets. He APP
peared before Recorder Hickelsen at |
O'Clock, and she trial was set for s
o'clock; but at that hour the marshal,
finding he didn't have a good case
against Mr.. Hanna, failed to appear and
! the case was dismissed. Marshal Olinger
| is making an effort to enforce the ordi-
nances in regard to keeping the streets
in order, and he should have the assist
Ance OF all citizens. 1t is a pity that his
! first case was not against some old OF
fender. We should all take more pride
in keeping our streets clean. The man
who makes a practice of opening his
mail as he walks through the streets
from the post office, and scatters envel-
opes and wrappers to the four winds,
| should have an ordinance to fit his case
If there is nothing in the ordinances al
ready enacted for the punishment OF
such vandalism.
