of whiskey bottles, and playing cards
were scattered everywhere, even on the
Mayors desk; while bloody papers,
and blood splashes on the floor indi-
Gated lively scrimmage and a pretty
rough house. The curtains had all
been closely drawn to prevent the lights
being seen from outside. The door of
locked, and SO far no clue has been
found as to who were the perpetrators
of this outrage on the people of the
borough and the public property, or
how they gained an entrance to the
council chamber where they held their
drunken orgie. The marshal is in
vestigating the case and if possible will
round up the guilty parties.
