denounced-it was decided to appoint COM

road of these shows and it was also decided to
employ detective, if necessary, to procure
evidence against the disorderly places

shows on this thoroughfare.

aroused by the immortality that exists among
the free shows. Young girls and boys come
from the city and go back roaring drunk, as
shown by last Saturday nights rowdyism, and
the people are determined to rid the commu-
nity of these shows at any cost.
