white companions found co-habiting
in joint on High avenue west, were
made to leave the city. The arrests
were made Sunday evening and hear
ing had Monday afternoon before the

might have been brought before the
grand jury and a host of costs piled
up, but County Attorney Dewitt
thought that the costs might better
be saved the county, and the mayor
was of like opinion. Hence, the joint
that has been operated at the place
has been cleaned out and the inmates
made to get out of the city. Il
they are found here after two days
time given for leaving, they will BIZ
committed to JAIL
In the case of the boys charged
with breaking and entering the Nc
Donough saloon Sunday night, pro
ceedings have been instituted lookinl
toward sending the lads to the indus
trial school at Eldora. 1t is under
stood that the parents of one of thu
children have acknowledged that the!
have no control over their boy, ant
as this is not the first offense for thu
youngster, the court will probably or
der the lad restrained.
