Boys Must Not Run on Streets After
9 O'clock at Nlaht.

Last night officer Ledbetter arrest
ed three boys on the main streets af-
ter the curfew rang and told them to
report at the police court this morn
ing to show cause, If they could, why
they were up till that hour of the
night prowling around the main
streets.
The boys were there promptly this
morning and Judge Gait heard their
tales of woe. One said that he did
not know II was against the law, an
other said he did not know they were
enforcing It., and the third one had
an excuse also to offer.
Between Judge Gait and the chief
of police 1t was agreed to let the
boys 90 this time, but under no cir
cumstances are they to be found guilty
of a repetition of the offense, for the
judge Is determined now to put a
stop to the boys running out at
night.
The chief of police was instructed
this morning, and he so informed all
his men that If they caught any boy
out at night not to inform them to ap.
pear at the police court next morning
but to put the boy in the calaboose
then and there and let him remain
there until 8 o'clock the next morn
ing.
It is to be hoped that the parents
will keep their children in after s
o'clock in future, for the city is de
termined now to enforce the law.
