prowling along the public sidewalks
and crosswalks of East Third street
and Sibley street for the express pur-
pose Of roping in honest but innocent
people who happen along that con-
tinual transient way, then the rest is
easy. Get their money away from

The Midway drinking fountains
vulgarly called blind pigs, are just
after receiving their SD round and
knock out, although never down long
enough to be counted out. They Ger.
tainly have the proverbial "nine lives of
a cat" record and keep Attorney Doty
