AN UNUSUAL ACTION.

Home for Children Wanted.

Complaint was made In the court OF
Justice william Fisher this morning
charging Mr.. and Mrs. August Heitala
of Pine street with drunkenness. The
action was taken by Marshal Joseph
Trudell and has as its ultimate aim.
the securing of a better home for the
Heitala children, of whom there are
five, the oldest thirteen years of age
The parents will be arraigned this
afternoon and II the charge is sus-
tanned, IL Is probable the court will
recommend that the case of the chill
dren be taken up by Judge of Pro-
bate George G. Bentley.
This legal procedure was deemed
necessary by the officers. In order to
remove the children from surround
ings which ID is claimed were not con-
oucive To their well being. Although
as far as can be learned. the parents
have practiced no cruelties upon their
children, IL Is claimed both mother
and father are SO scdicted to the use
of liquor that their home is not fit
place for the children's upbringing.
