Making Arrests Now.

There is quite bunch still on the
water wagon. Police business in Nor

The common charge of drunkenness
was almost an unknown quantity on
the police court docket for January.
The police have been unusually active
in other lines but the "drunks" have
dropped off since Christmas time.
Police Judge Eiseley believes that
the water wagon theory is the only
plausible one. THE bibbers swore
off," said the Judge, land they have
still to slide off the wagon. But wait
for a month or two. till the good old
