 The Swimmers instead of confin- ing themselves within the vicinity of the river romp about the adjoining fields in full view of passersby. They also make themselves further objec- fonable by shouting vile epithets at the people in order to attract their attention.
 Things came to a head yesterday afternoon when the Hardware city boys demonstrated their lung power by shouting at the patrons in the passing trolleys. A complaint was made to the officers. The boys were surrounded by the officers before they were aware what had occurred. Their joyous shouts at once ceased and ]! was a sad looking bunch that the off cers brought back to Berlin.
 Weeping copiouslyl each boy tried to tell the officers that he was inno- cent of any misbehavior. They didn't know that they were doing anything wrong and they wouldn't 1t 1t again was their explanation.
 >It is said that the officers were ou to capture some men at the swim, ming hole who had been frequentins the place every Sunday. They were however unsuccessful in this missi on

When the officers were per \ ceived approaching it was at frs 5 thought by them that they were t' \ be arrested The pot and cards wer quickly gathered and the young me- disappeared from the scene.
