Men Lettering Than for Sometime.

Not Pne arrest was made yesterday
Dy n Billings police. Ana, Up to 3

N TIE police declare that Billings is
dputually peaceful at the present
tiihe. The number Of arrests during
the past few days has been very low
and there have been no cases Of rob.
berry or assault reported.
This Condition. they believe is due
to the wholesale arrests and deporta-
itf0hs made after several holdups were
reported last week: Ia general round
up Of the suspicious characters ii the
city was made and they were all given
an option Of working on the streets
or moving on and they moved.
The police feel confident that they
have succeeded in ridding the COM
munity Of most Of It's undesirable cit
liens and do not anticipate the COM
mission Of many more crimes until q
new lot comes into Billings.
The railroad authorities say that
there are less men lettering around
the depot and in the railroad yards
than for months and they believe this
condition Is also due to the spread
of the fact that the authorities will
arrest and request all suspicious char
acters to move on.
