Last week Mitchell & Douglass were
fined $25 and costs for allowing minors
to go into the billiard hall. No ques-
tion is raised as to the merits of the
case. The complaint was made by S.
B. Smith of this place and from the
talk that has been made in regard to
it, he was not fair in getting the evil
dence. 1t is said that he hired boy
to go into the place and paid him a
dollar for so doing. If this is fact
we do not think that the proprietors
should have been fined. 1t is a well
known fact that for the past few
months they have tried to keep minors
out of the hall and it is very difficult,

statement. For the benefit of that
class of young men we publish here
