That police protection such as this
city and few others of its size have
ever had will be afforded during the
Round-Up is the announcement of the
city officials and the Roundup di-
rectors made this morning.

throngs that will be here for the cele-
hration there will undoubtedly be
many crooks and blacklegs who will
seek to ply their nefarious trades un-
der cover of the excitement, both the
city and the frontier association have
taken steps to insure protection TO
townspeople and visitors.
Chief Gurdane has not yet decided
upon the number Of special officers
he will enlist for the week but he has
a large number of blanks prepared to
VIII. ch he is getting signatures al
ready. There will be at least one po-
liceman on the street to every block
in the business section. while the res
idence districts will be patrolled day
and night by men with stars.

the city have signified their intentions
of having an officer stationed N each
ue their places of business to proven:

, description.

ton. Each officer and each director
