Get After the Roozers.

War has been declared at Platte on
drunkenness. Recently the citizens
have been greatly annoyed by the ac-
lions of men from this vicinity who
come to town, ill up on poor whisky
and then attempt TO make the town re-
semble frontier mining camp. The
other day the town marshal arrested a
bunch of eight such offenders, who
were taken before justice and fined
heavily for their fun. other offenders
in this respect will be treated In sim
liar fashion and 1t is believed this will
result in the town again becoming as
law-abiding as In the past.
