that they would get about as much en-

with the unholy angels as they would

thing in the matter that was and is
strikingly peculiar The record shows
that Attorneys z. n Arnett and Geo
NJ. Alexander appeared for George F.
Carroll in opposing the incorporation
Of the village. The records on the
other side Of the court house discloses
the fact that Mr.. Carroll IS not a
property owner In the village For
that reason we say it is queer that
