Fenton seized one fellow as he was slipping through the door and notified police headquarters.

 About s o'clock all three put in an appearance. MT. Fenton having no desire to prosecute, if they would only stay away from his store, the captain permitted them ito 50 free after giv- ing them a lecture.
