other many of the pretty witnesses in
a rather notorious case in the Dauphin
county courts?
Or a multiphone?
Or some beer mugs?
Or a cuspidor or two?
The chance will be offered by Sheriff
II. G. Wells on Friday morning, Feb
ruary II. At 9 o'clock that morning
the furnishings of the Hotel Menger,
formerly the old United States, are to
go under the sheriff's hammer. The
piano and other furnishings and fix
lures helped make the Rose Garden"
so attractive in a certain way as to
bring the hotel management within
the clutches of the law And the
Dauphin County Court revoked the
license of the proprietor, Angelo
Boschelli. Some highly edifying tes-
timony of the doings of the patrons
of the Rose Garden were told on the
witness stand. Among other things
significantly dwelt upon by the district
attorney was the character OF the rag
time selections pounded out by the
electric piano. Since Boschellis place
was closed he has gone into the hands
of the sheriff.
