the cottages along the shores Of Lake

city, and the sheriff of Charles Mix

five who were caught red handed COM
ing out Of the Scholes cottage. Those
arrested are named Jensen, Pulsifer,
Davis. Brown and Schaefer. and the
probability is they will have sufficient
opportunity to repent Of their lawness-
ness. Young Schaeffer came out re-
Gently from Iowa. He Is a law stu

he will probably get.
Another fine rain visited this section

its history.
